New Race: Tessellate

Master Belisarius · #1 March 1st, 2003, 01:19 AM

TESSELLATE BETA 2.0.

After a long time working with only 2 AIs, finally decided to start a new one.
Why a new AI?
Well, honestly I was very impresed with the AI that Rollo did for the United Flora, and believed that using some of their ideas, I could create a decent Cristallurgy + Religious race.

The shipset was done by Gryphin and have 2 vital strong points to me: it's very nice and looks very cristallyne!

This is a Beta 2 Version, with the AI files that I'm using in the AI Deth Match 2 Contest. Then, sorry if still the RPG was not included (need to wait an answer from Rollo!).

Please report me any suggestion or bug that you could find!!!

Master Belisarius,
Thanks, I really apriciate your words. I'm playing against the AI now and expect a hard fought battle.
I also would love feedback.

I've started 2 games with this race, a low tech medium galaxy one and a high tech small cluster one. I'll see how this race performs (and since i'm a newbie if they're anything as good as the Aquilean i'm gonna get pasted!)

I'll post my results soon

Against me, they performed well... but as any "Combo" race, they need time to have their potential working. Considering this reason, and that most of the players gave bonus to the AIs, decided to optimize them to play with at lest "low bonus".

Very nice shipset. Reminds me sort of of the Chenjesu, especially the race pic.

Kodos:
If you are going to make an obscure reference, it would be best to say where it is from, so the rest of us aren't left scratching our heads.

Chenjesu. A crystalline race from the great game Star Control 1 and they where mentioned in SC2.

The shape of the body, and of some of the Tessalate ships are vaugely similer.

Heh this shipset is really good, yeah i gave the ai a high bonus for the high tech game, it seems to be holding out well in the low tech game but it's creaming me in high tech game. At first i felt cocky with my temporal shield accelerating anti proton beams dreadnoughts. A Tesselate dreadnought ship attacked a defense fleet of 3 dreadnoughts. one tessalate destroyed 1 and damaged 1 severly. I'm currently winning on points but when the ai comes for me i think i'm going to have a problem

Such is the life of a newbie

Gryphin, seems people really like your shipset. With the addition of 'Master Belisarius's' AI, you are set! ARGH!

There seem to be a couple of duplicate images in the zip!

You're right, I have played both games a long time ago. Really liked SC1, but SC2 was not the same.
