Well HoMM5 turned out to be not fun for me. Getting the client from Fileplanet was long. Starforce copy protection even for the beta. Actually once I found out it was MP only I said nah I don't want this hassle. When its finished (ie has a campaign and its traditional SP maps) I'll check it out. So. Looking into launching and old M&M game or something now.

LoL nothing like other empires hijacking your threads Good Luck you guys and gals starting new empires.

It also used to be Drengin.net before TotalGaming
easy games = less points. hard games = more points.
Yes. Tempting... start a new empire, increase the shogunate or join forces with another empire.. hmm. *strokes goattee*
I have had games of bloodthirsty conquest. After my enemies were subjugated, I told my allies they were next. I've tried the influence route. I was friendly to a lot of races, good trade relations. Kept self out of war, prospered and influence won me planets. The one I haven't tried is the Tech victory.
BTW: status of the mod guide? ETA? Thanks if you can answer! I haven't heard about a single guide, but there is a modding forum. CaretFarmer has been reveailing things one project at a time. I'm not a graphics man (yet) but have been delving into the xml files.
I've become recently acquainted with VDMS for running Dos games in XP. Niice! Should try it out if you don't like dos box.
Bonuses to soldiering from either research or events is what to look for if you want your infantry beefed up.
Well I usually build a couple Econ bases around my core planets anyway for the % bonuses to production and research.
What about NEW colonies that mostly want to build infrastructure compared to colonies that are already fully developed and might want to do mostly research? Infrastructure? Focus on Social Production, orange one in the middle. Research is the one on the right. I'd focus on Social to get stuff built
There's an event with a precursor artifact (at least in the beta ) where planets PQ gets bumped up 5 points. All the Zeros goto 5. Extra research stations... Aye, Starbases do increase range as well as Life Support techs.
hmm.. well.. in a word "Registry" ... thats a bet why it may not work.. I don't remember the entire procedure but theres a way to archive with SDC and reinstall that archive... which would be better (Archive it on your laptop and later reinstall that archive to your home PC)

Heh. Put the presents back under the tree kids...
It would be cool to get one in the galaxy thru an event or anomaly though..
No Tactical. No Tactical. No Tactical. For a million and one reasons already posted in another thread further down the forum.
I generally name mine after swords. Go figure, hehe he. Little ships = dagger, dart, sai, tanto Med = short sword, wakizashi Large= Katana, Broad Sword Huge=Dai-Katana, Bastard Sword. Sometimes I might go for names of jets or ships.
You can always 'edit' your custom race. You couldn't submit a game to metaverse that way but you can still lob on some bonuses. Or jack around with custom planets and up the PQ.
I'm guessin that's the one. Cool huh ?
Stylin compared to the Torians.
Jokes aside, I'm wanting both a Star Trek and Star Wars mod. (several will do *grins*) Also willing to help make one.
There's also another thing to consider say you have 30+ battles to fight a turn, thats a hella lot of time between turns.
