Babylon 5 Mod

[Mordred]

Hi ppl!
Is there any Manual or something like this out?
I just installed the Mod but got some problems.

For example. If i play "B5 Noamds" tech tree, do i need the "B5 standart" tree too?
I used the Nomads tree, but i was unable to colonize (sure, i'm a nomad! ;-) ) and got only 1500 research points (not enough!)....i was unable to capture ships or colonys or so....
mhm....pls help ;-)

best would be a manual!

B5 Nomads does NOT operate properly.

There is a Bit Torrent link to the music to the abandoned B5 game "into the Fire" here. There is a discussion of the "legality" of releasing this in that thread, so you might want to read it to understand what you are letting yourself in for if you decide to download it.

Personally, I think the focus should be on speeding up the gameplay of the B5 Mod, not slowing it down even more so than it is now... it is bad for PBW in it's current state.

I like it. But without colonization they should get biger planet sphere/ringworld (?). oh and if they get them, then they cant attack minor races till turn 10-100(?)

Racial points: 2000

i agree but ancients should get more 5000 or 3000.

As the Vorlons might say..... "Yes".

This is a list of the PF 1.8 Gold Mod Facilities and their build times relative to population quantities. All are jubilant. All times are number of turns. 10 turns are equal to 1 year.Game Time.

If playing PBW and one turn is taken per day then all the figures here represent the # days for construction of named facilities.It gets worse as the later levels appear.

This might well be the best place to start discussing the current mod and how much of your life you wish to commit to the next PBW.

I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Sorry for the wonky columns.

PS. I'm not going to play 69 days for my Atmospheric Adjuster to be built and then play a further 2 years for the conVersion to take place just to have some Dutchman with a Polish girlfriend invade my planet one day before conVersion.... .. .. .. ..

@Nomor: your Last line...*snicker* hehe

Yeah, I just did NOT take the time weasel with all the facilities and weapons and all the other stuff that seems out of whack. That is more than one person could do.
