I should mention, there is a mod that will allow the minors to expand, not quite on the level of the majors, but thats 8 more races colonizing at least. Check this thread out, the link is in the OP, iv'e never personally used it, so i can't help you out, but i'm sure Tolmekian will give you any advice you need. :)

^ This. And it's hard coded in, you can mod the UI to allow, IIRC 34 or 36 AI's, but the game simply will never load them. Up the AI difficulty, playing the game straight up on suicidal will be more than enough.

giga ZYW mode? Just the normal method in attaining Zero Year Wins on a gigantic map. All labs, wreck your econ..trade..trade..trade....i didn't want to play with any cheese whatsoever, just a straight up game. I see Motti's pic from post 3220 in your reply, not sure what your issue is here. For image hosting i have always used imageshack . Very user freindly without all the puff of other sites.

After looking again, i only have 2 700% manu tiles, plus the library for 3 700% tiles in total, and that is on the latest DA build. (new rig, new installs) I don't ever recall getting more than one of each, and it seems to me that there may well be more, since i have only colonized 1/4 of the map, well at least, the potential is for more based on the ration of colonized planets v tiles found. You been playing any Demigod SS?

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="3220" id="3060566"] I was hoping to get a 700% manufacturing tile so I could go all factories, but I ended up with a library. All labs it is then.[/quote] I'm doing my best to play it balanced and use the sliders, iv'e got lab worlds and manu worlds. If i come across a research tile, ill lay down a lab, but my HW is doing most of the grunt in that dept. Got a question though, (and if SS is lurking he may well know), are you seeing an increase

Yeah, thats a good point. What i don't what to do with the SCC tho is to build cargo hull full of weapons just to park under it to inflate mil score. I'll build one or two, as the needs arise, just to maintiain dominance, but only so the AI don't come after me early on. I know its a non cheese part of the game, but it makes it too easy to beat them. As for the MCC, its been as it was since day one, and i will use it as such. As for reviving this, if i can get

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="3216" id="3059594"]Who would have thought that we'd end up dumping the chase for score in favor of the old classic games? [/quote] I know, but it's quite enjoyable. Iv'e hung on to my save game and restarted the game..again, and this time im going all classic. Im building on both the bonus tiles, but ive built some factories as well, and am using the sliders to control the balance between building colonizers and researching tech.

Yeah the shills only work if you have really nailed the start and got the SCC plus the ships under it by about, i think april 1st. Ive just started a new game, giga abundant all on suicidal and have run into trouble....big time. I ctrl =n a few times to get some kind of 300% bonus on my HW, i didn't care which, and what i ended up getting was a 700% library and a 300% library!!! i could not believe my luck, or so i thought...Good thing i save a game right at the start, just in

Very Fast tech, and yes its very possible, in fact it's all to easy. But like i said, its not the "normal" play style, its a style used to max your score, and involves quite alot. (its all here on the forums) I don't play that way myself anymore, but once you have your tech really going, you research many, many techs per turn. OFC, 700% libraries help too!

You can still research tech victory in a game with tech victory turned off, it just won't trigger an endgame. You should be able to max out the tech tree by end of year 1, IIRC, it has been a while since i played competitively. You want to be building alot of tech, every bonus tile should be a NLC (or discovery sphere if you can't trade for NLC) and at least one planet, about +15 should do, as your tech cap. Every other planet max out with one farm, one VR and the rest

I'm not too sure on the missions, ive not really done any of the missions in the Anno games, only what i needed to learn the game. the missions act as the tutorial, i prefer sandbox play! That being said, im on about mission 12 i guess atm, but im stuck, so i was lurking about the anno forums, but i havent got back to it since i built new pc, still sorting things out. I'm sure it will look fantastic though ty!

Just wondering about how the kzin used 1/1 tiny fighters (shills) in their high score games, if at all. Motti and myslef were discussing their usefulness in the ToE thread and i was curious how you guys went about them. :)

Get above the 10 to 1 military ration fast and then use them as trade. You could get about 4 ships per planet...roughly, but as soon as the AI got any form of military, they were useless. The shills work only when they are an attra

Max out your population on every planet and build out every planet with stock exchanges. Once you have cleared the tech tree, demolish every tech building you have and replace it with stock exchanges. Your econ will be so extremely over the top, you will simply buy everything and anything you need.
