I love the evil trade route restrictions they always place. In my current game, there's 3 instead of one, which isn't fair. Once I add the Torians into my "angelic" empire, I will make sure something like this doesn't happen again. But, I think the resolutions are moddable, so you can shorten the time. I'm all for quartelly meetings about trial rest
Ahem, your points are, to be as polite as I can, unfounded. It is not a beta, out of the box it has got all those lovely editors choice awards you see lining the side of the forums. Then, the documentation is on the wiki. Instead of complaining, go help by updating it. Finally, the financial figure, as far as I can see, has been pulled out of nowhere. If that's how much money you lost when you should have been working or somehting, that's your own damn
Just click on a computer player and it shows what difficulty they're playing at. The difference in AI levels is documented.
Well, Rusty Garner, as Kalin said every AI is different (although now the Yor is apparently a variation of Drengin AI), they all have different attributes, and different ways of acting. The Drengin are pretty much always going for conquest victory, while the Humans and the Drath always stir things up. Plus, in 1.1 there is a randomised AI level, you select the game level and number of opponents, the game weighs the average level of AI at that level, an
Ahem, you can steal technology. Get it to advanced, and it's automatic. Also, it's the most useful feature in the game, you can see their planets, their capabilities, their financing, their state of the art ships armaments, you can win a war with the information. And if that isn't enough, the expansion pack (Dark Avatar) is Drengin based, with a LOT of espionage improvements. And we have absolutely no need for carriers, because A
We can't do anything without the smartexception debug.err, the game should have installed SDC on your comp, download smartexception from the "free stuff" column, and use the debug.err it creates, copy paste into notepad, then onto here Edit: scratch the comment, didn't see you had replied

Bullshit. They could charge the same amount not more then the stores. thats ridiculous Well, if you actually read the reply before mouthing off, you would realise that on totalgaming.net they charge less, and as Yarlen said, it's the stores who are paying less, stardock are charging either the retail
But most races have charicteristics that aren't actually available as options. To restore them you have to delete the config from the "my games" folder

Ribs... Hurt... Laughter.... The salesmen are EVERYWHERE!
I say it in "Game" the other day, the shops are stocking them a bit, it's just online there's a shortage. I pre-ordered mine a month before
Well, IMO it depends on what stage in the game you are. Early game, when all defences are one, (square root of 1 is 1) By using one of each defense type you get a defense of 3, which works really well with only 1 attack, and is still less than 200bc. Mid game, it seems the game is about switching between attack types to best defeat your enemy, and defense is still good but not brilliant. When you get large and huge hulls, defense absolutely rules. The
1) Cosmetic issue with planets reloading their graphics. Most planets higher than 25 have ocean useable tiles anyway. 2) Why do you have them on both? it's a waste of a planet by capitalising both, but meh. No, I don't think you can rebuild starbases. Reload a save before you did it, else get rid of those Industrial sectors and replace with stock markets. 3) They don't count empire wide anyway, so that isn't an issue. Yes, they al
I had a problem in my last game, I could have gone with the 10 systems with 4 planets each, or pick the >17 planet in each of 30 systems. Nearly got overthrown, and then researched up to cultural conquest. Actually gained more planets, and of course the more planets I gain the more influence I have And Rashingi, as people have said, these are i
One thing I've noticed is that people with a basic grounding in English, speak it rather better than someone to whom it's their first language. On so many games I read people saying "I apologise for my English, I'm from spain/france/germany/italy" etcetera. Then you see the people saying things like "Yo dood, whats appenign man? gr8 2 c u!" and you ask "What country are you from?" "englnd guy!" <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Hmm.g
Yeah, militeristic means he is. But, colony ships add military might, which is because the AI values amount of ships too much. Close borders, is obvious. Your planets next to them. and they think you're puny, and wish to crush you
Make sure the modules are ship assist, not starbase attack or defence, or you're just arming your starbase, not the ships. And, like entropy said, they need some defence to be boosted
Hell, I dislike choosing alignments. I only choose when I'm demonic (from my angelic start point) So I have nothing more to lose, and have gained a large amount.
KI can not use the designs, it must build it's own designs.
Well, I don't think there is a guide. But, it isn't supposed to be intuitive or give you anything to go by, it's just what you like. I used to just chuck wings on the sides, and have done. Symmetry can be a help, and remember not to expect Link on your first try. Hell, I'm not expecting that on my first year. There are also so downloadable ship designs here <a href="http://lib
Damn, this is 2 double posts in one day. What the hell is my comp doing?
They don't include playing the game thats for sure! Yes they do. If you have the disc, you can still play 1.0, the version which won the editors choice awards repeatedly, so it isn't that terrible. And you can have it on as many computers as you like. For those without a disc, create one by burning a
This depends on your difficulty. It will always work, but if you do it on intelligent, they see what you're up to, and prepare to stop you if they dislike you, or live with it if they like you. Either way it's a negative in the relationship. On lower difficulty levels, they merely insult you and remind you how badly they would kick your ass if it was set to intelligent. But yes, if you produce (in that area) four times the influence of the native planet, and their morale is below eit
Astax, while I agree with the principle (that he was upset, and has a right to complain), he had NO right to respond like he did. IE; Attacking people who can play the game, being a hypocrite, and instantly saying "look I'm losing. WTF CHEATS!" You can check the forums. Those that post things saying "Help please" or "Questions from a new player" or anything like that, outlining there problems, and asking for help, get what they ask for. Peop

Oh thats so not cool. Damn timeout
Rangers aren't overpowered by endgame. I remember getting about five in a row, and even when they attacked they weren't a match for the state of the art thalan ships.
