Re: Wow! I just realized...
Nope, didn't know it.
But a good reason to keep playing SEIV, because even after 4 years you can still be surprissed !!

Re: Wow! I just realized...
Hadn't a clue, probably because *cough* I never lose *cough* *cough*. 
I had just finished a turn when I read this, went back and checked, found all three cases. Thanks for sharing! |

Re: Wow! I just realized...
Yep, I knew this from my days of playing SE3.

Re: Wow! I just realized...
I think I knew the difference between 'One side won' and 'Stalemate', but I don't know if I knew about the red/blue thing.

Knew it. It was more obvious in SEIII I think.

Re: Wow! I just realized...
I've been playing about 4 years now, and I've never realized this. Cool!

Re: Wow! I just realized...
I never noticed it either, until I was browsing the directories of images and saw the names: CombatWin, CombatLose, CombatStalemate. Even then, it was hard to realize in the game -- which one am I, the blue one? But my shipset's purple, howzit I'm blue now? And what are they doing at the back there, they were 'sposed to be in the front.
The ImageMod adds new pictures, using the same theme. I'd like to see totally dissimilar ones, like CombatWin would be a view through a ship's front window (main viewscreen?) of an exploding ship, while CombatLose would be a view of a burning, wrecked bridge, with an intact enemy ship looming through a cracked window. Stalemate could be both, I guess. Then there'd be no doubt at first glance what happened.
[EDIT]
Was it more like I described in SEIII? I don't remember. Then again, the only screen I ever would have seen would have been CombatLose.

Re: Wow! I just realized...
Nope, never paid attention to the graphic. This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing your new found insight.
