Oh ya, your right, those guys are downright EVIL. It doesnt matter if Im good or bad, they start wars on me every game. On maxed AI, they reasurch pretty damn fast too. I actually like the drengi more They are just as bad but at least their tech is always lacking.
Hey all, I was totally addicted to this game for a month when I came out, but I left for a while now try other games, so I donno whats been planned for 1.1. One thing that bothered me about the game in 10X is that the minor races are still totally useless. By useless I mean they dont DO anything. The trade and give in to threats, but thats about it. Whats more, minor races usually build up quite an adequate fleet in the early game, more than
yup duck of doom is right, make your own. I dont think ive ever played as a preset race, no point.
have you tried making a custom race? If you do you will see that race bonuses and starting techs are distributed by a "points" system. Each race has the same number of points. You may have seen the yor, with ships two times faster than yours at the beginning. That is because instead of maybe stellar coreography, they chose hyperdrive or whatever.
on higher difficulties, its not so easy. "Genious" comps for example, build starbases to counter your spread, if that fails they simply run you over with ships.
Has anyone else noticed how the Ai never adds modules to economy and influence starbases? I have found that whenever they do build these, they construct anywhere between three to six at once, separately instead of putting all constructors into a single base. I thought it was just the Ai being intentionally noobish at first, but now that Im playing on Max difficulty I find the AI doing the same thing.. (excluding reource bases) Is this some k
haha thats good. Hey that brings up another issue, THE COMP PLAYERS DO NOT ACTIVELY ENGAGE IN LABBING. What I mean is, i have never seen a comp player turtle up, and focus all availible resouces on research spiking. Every game I find that I am the only one doing it, and I come out with anti-matter torps when they are still using plasma IIs... YES even on max difficulty in 1.0X
ARRRG iv always hated the starforce ppl, how could they do a thing like that! Due to the majour complaints about the starforce software, no developper is going to be stupid enough to plague their games with starforce crap for now on anyways. Starforce sucks to begin with! I hear that people simply unplug a drive to get around it, so it doesnt stop pirating by any means, plus, it lags games like hell (X3). This whole thing is stupid, stardock is one of the few developers still worthy
I find defence extremely usefull in the early game, when corvettes and fighters are battleing it out. But by the time Large, Massive ships take over I tend to shed most of the armour. In the late game, weapon damage increases explonentially, while defence PRICING increases exponentially.. so i just dont bother with def. Its always good to have at least one defencive component equipted though, because thats all your ships will need to reciev
KEEP THEM ALIVE! they are worth going to war for! I have found these minor races EXTREMELY usefull. Most of them ahrdly research and, for some reason, are able to accumulate a MASSIVE treasury every couple of months. With some diplomat skill, you can sell these minor civs some crappy techs that everyone already has. warpdrive MKII for example.. 800 or so from each minor race.. x6 on giant maps.. thats nearly 5000 credits for sharing a tech that no one
wow i would love to know as well. When i turtle up for 30 or so weeks and come out with anti-matter torps and a lust for domination i dont want the ai to steal the tech and counter me within a few turns. Any way to protect yourself from tech stealing?
Hi, im quite new to this game so there is quite a bit i dont understand, the majour one is population. I had played and won a "huge" map with 2 normal and 3 semi mormal races and now im playing the biggest map type. In my last game, my population was #1 in the galaxy throughout the whole game but in this new game its been #6 since the start. I have battle cruisers already and i have no more than 500mil on any planet! Whats going on? in my other game, by this time my best planet had lik
