Heh. Well Flonne is barely tolerable herself. Do you have Laharl or Etna too ? Yes, well Etna was by far my favorite character from that game, but in keeping with the theme Flonne took over The Space Pope's record. I have 3 characters: good, neutral and evil for whenever I feel like playing a certain way. At least I planned it that way.<br/
Given that they try to convince you to play a few more turns when you try to quit... I wouldn't expect them to put a feature like that in unless it were manipulated to display time more slowly to get you to play even longer than you really intended.
I would assume that random means random. Well, as close to random as a random number generator can be. I would expect to see a variety of intelligence up to, but not exceeding the game difficulty level you set. So... yes, there probably will be many inbetween the minimum and maximum levels of intellect.
Your argument lacks any logic. I think it is quite reasonable to ask why not changing a ship's parts would cost more than changing them even if the replacement parts are cheaper. I don't however think that this is a very problematic point. Although this occurs most likely because the cost of the upgrade is based on the value change in the shi
Just noticed this and thought it was serendipitous that I happened upon it before it was gone. This character was originally the Space Pope from Futurama (the source of most of my references thus far), but I've been doing a Disgaea theme recently... My apologies if you felt this was a waste of your time, but what did you expect with a title like that?
just a question...sorta on topic...do I have to post a loss to get the "Wounded in Battle" medal? I was wondering that myself. I was going to try it, but I have seen people with defeats posted and did not have the medal. Perhaps it is a certain amount of loses, or... well, there probably isn't any point in speculating. I don't think I've y
Setting a character to default will indeed put those icons up under your posts, even previous ones you've made. I kind of wish you could have collective stats show though since I plan on running 3 characters... oh well.
If you want the starbase to be able to defend itself, research 'Starbase Fortification' and toss constructors at it. For military starbase power to lend to nearby ships, the starbase conquest strategy line is what you want.
For some reason I feel like keeping this thread alive. Anyone want to hijack it for random~ish thoughts? For some reason I feel like keeping this thread alive. That was mine.
The in game description is vague, but I did notice that it was written this way on the wikipedia site: Omega Research Center: Increases research on planet by 50% Not under the center itself, but under the galactic acheivement listing. I would be interested to know for sure, but one tile usually isn't a big loss on a tech capital pl
I had this event happen twice to me while trying for my first political victory in a game where I forgot to turn tech trading back on. luckily spin control center had them willing to pay me to end the war soon after it started. I thought at the time that it was actually another race paying them off to go to war with me or something, but they said they made it more clear in 1.1 when this was the case. I haven't received this yet in 1.1 so I don't know if it falls under that category or not. P
Ah, if you upgrade from a core design, save it under a different name. If you use the same name it will try to overwrite the design and it won't let you save over core designs. I didn't get from your original post that saving was the problem. You can upgrade from the core ships if you want, or just start from scratch, either way, everytime you upgrade a ship model, give it a different name when you go to save. What I do is design a base model with the extras but no functional parts
Designing ships is very important to victory in this game. You can create new ships or upgrade the existing designs in the shipyard (the upgrade option when clicking on a ship will only bring it up to a different design). If you are unable to place anything on any ship design, make sure that you remove the parts that are already on it because most of the time older weapons and various systems take up far too much space to be efficient. Generally concentrating your research on a particu
Engines are pretty cheap in general, and once you get really high up there, they get really cheap at the hyperwarps. Your relations with the receiving AI improve sooner and you start making money sooner, so it's worth it for me. As for the AI taking a long path around, I think it's just a flaw with them. Sometimes they can't seem to decide where to land a freighter, or maybe they are maxed on trade routes. I've seen freighters pass by back and forth then eventually land on a pl
-Population does not effect production or research. -Population provides you with tax money because that number represents tax payers. -Population affects population growth on that planet, because it is based on a percentage. -Population relates inversely to approval because people don't like to be overly crowded. -Population provides you with soldier to fight with (defending or a pool to load your transports with) -Economy Starbases do not
That's how they work for me too. They are very powerful fully upgraded but only within thier circle of effect like a military starbase. I tried building a few in random spots deep in the enemy territory as well and my borders stopped at that circle, even when not encountering much opposing influence. While near planets however, when fully upgraded 1-2 often provided enough influence to cause revolt, even the Thalans with +40% loyalty. I can't say if their base influence has anything to do wi
... huge pleasure planets. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd pay far more than 80% tax to live on one of these. Of course I probably would stop working all together and not have to pay any tax that way... <img src="http://images.star
Trade goods, galactic achievements and captial buildings do not gain these bonuses.
It can probably be done fairly easily on a huge abundant map. I've been close to 20,000 a turn on a gigantic but with occational / uncommon settings for planets. (don't remember exactly) Basically I just had 1-2 farms and 3+ stock markets on every planet, max trade routes, tax at 80%, etc. Nothing special, just a lot of it. That game I had most of my planets setup for just economics. I only had starports and decent production on a very small number of planets. One planet produced my entir
The game doesn't have problems with small amounts like 20,000 BC, so I assume there is just something you didn't notice that happened. I've almost been up to making that in one turn and never had problems either. If I were making more I'd be tempted to see if I could see what happens if you go over a certain amount, but it didn't look like I was nearing that point at all.
It's a bit complex, and the name is 'misleading' but the net effect is that you can in-fact add more components to all of your ships. The maximum space on the hulls will increase, but you will note that many times the components get somewhat larger as well. Why they chose to do it this way, I can't say. Maybe it is more convenient from a programming perspective. Either way, it will let you stack more things on your ships.
The ethical choices were designed to work that way. It's often easy to do something selfish like steal something instead of working hard to earn it. There are unseen consequences that can arise from your decisions though. While there is no galaxy police that can punish an evil empire for their actions, you will note that the United Planets often brings motions against evil races. Evil races put their own advancement above others, while good races will sacrifice opportunities like tha
I never upgrade a starbase's sensors. It is a waste. Not that the starbase is a waste, just sending constructors to upgrade the sensors. Also, sensor only ships are maintenance free . I know it looks like there will be maintenence while you are designing one, but if you put no weapons on it, it will drop to 0 after you save it. The same is with constructors etc. It is a hassle to keep up with a lot of these IMO, but dropping one on the same tiles of your starbases (s
Are you sure the other AI didn't blow up their resource and take it or just take it after it was blown up by the owners' enemy? It could possibly have been a part of a trade that for some reason they accepted also. Supposedly the AI's treat other AIs and the player the same way, and supposedly they don't give starbases to aid another in a war anymore. I don't know if the above are always true, but I thought I'd ask if there was any other way they could have attained it sin
@Devs: Why is there the option to surrender? Is anybody not playing to their last dying breath? I kind of wondered this as well. If it is only there for the AI to utilize, why can it do things that players don't have access to like warning about another race, etc. Not that I feel the need to be able to do so since I wouldn't expect the AI to
