Hey now....
I also heard that racial and cultural bonuses apply only to SHIPS, and UNITS are not affected.

Which would mean you need a seperate list for ships. It would also make sense to have a list for each unit.
Since some units use standard componants (SATs, WP, Drones) and some (Fighters, Troops) have their own componants, and some (WP, Troops) are on planets and subject to bombardment, but one type can only attack a similar unit (troops).

Instead of trying to define WEAPON, use the expression DIRECT FIRE WEAPON (componant).

That should exclude Seekers, Stellar Manipulation, and INTEL.

But... I'm sure someone will nit pick it to death.

Boy you guys are smart!

Where did you get all those words? From a crossword puzzle site (ie a crossword dictionary)?

Don't have much time, so will have to make this short.

It is one of those words. But which one?

Against the Religious Talisman
Stealth / Scattering Armor, ECM, and Experience: don’t help reduce hit probability.
As such, don’t use ECM or Stealth / Scattering Armor against that race. Try to keep your Experienced ships to use against other races..

Don't do that. That will encourage huge lengths of one word Posts.

You always want to use fully trained ships. In fact, all of your warships should be trained ASAP. The training will give you a 40% bonus to hit the enemy's ships. They will fall faster, and have less time to make use of the Talisman.

I got it! I got it! It's an error of... ... ...... ........ .... (

) duplication!!!!! Cultural traits are mentioned right underneath racial traits, where each culture affecting combat is listed. Later, near the bottom of the Attack modifiers, the "cultral" modifier Category Space Combat is listed. Quickngruvn indirectly touched on it on Nov. 16, 16:33 when he noticed that racial and cultural traits were combined. He fixed your typo in his correction (which came from the double entry), but didn't notice it was mentioned twice.

Quikngruvn · #97 November 20th, 2002, 04:13 AM

Damn! I could have sworn it was 'dysfunction'!

Kudos, Krsqk, 'cos if I were a betting man, I'd put money on your guess....

[kicks self for not getting it after hint #1

[edit] Feh. I can't even get the emoticon working....

Well, I was torn between despumation and deoxidation.

Kamog · #99 November 20th, 2002, 06:48 AM

I agree, looks like Krsqk got the answer! By the way, I'm really impressed with your list of words: how did you come up with all those 11-character words that start with 'd' and end with 'tion'? Did you manually look them up in a dictionary, or did you write a program to generate a list?

Krsqk · #**100** November 20th, 2002, 03:20 PM

Well, I started at http://directory.google.com/Top/Game...s/Dictionaries ...I don't remember which site I used, though. I don't waste my time hunting for words. (I use it trying to fill 59 systems with converted atmosphere, max conditions, max value planets, with no non-star systems, no asteroids, and sphereworlds on every star.)
