wow, a trip down memory lane today. So some interesting points to know/remember for those that have been around the forums for a long time. 3 years ago last week was the start of the Metaverse League. The MVL started with 15 players, maxed out at 36, and averaged about 22 players at any given time. Neilo was the Commissioner of the MVL for 6 rounds, myself for Rounds 7-9 (and the Bonus Round that took place before the Season 3 Dra
Which version are you using of TA. I seem to recall that the European version was a lil more bugged than the US version; though I'm also dredging through memories from like 2 years ago to try and remember lol. Also, is this from a fresh game or from a saved game. Saved games, if you load a saved game and then Ctrl-N to restart, or have updated the version, tends to result in a lot of funky behavior. I will say that I don't think its an actual game issu
its been awhile, but the system is set up where there is an attack roll, from 0 to your attack value. Each ship is also rolled individually (as is each weapon type). In short, you got extremely unlucky. Defense works the same way if i recall correctly, with off-type defenses being 0 to 0.25x (where "x" is your total defense value of that type) Wanna make sure you always score a hit? Take the Luck Bonus. It automatically puts your Base Value at 1/4 of t
Its because in DL there are no actual "passive" racial traits (or at least, they are few and far between); while in DA/TA the races have 'native' abilities, in DL they only have abilities equal to the amount of racial points allocated to themselves. Interestingly enough the Drath abilities (arguably amongst the strongest starting abilities of the DL races) were mapped over to the Krynn in DA. What are you possibly seeing with the Drath in DL is the "under-the-hood" diploma
Firstly, what version of GCII are you playing. The MCC only gives the economic bonus in DL and DA. In TA, it works as written (culture flipping planets that are at 4xInf immediately) Secondly, a "known" issue in TA (and I'm not convinced it was fixed) was that the AI (of all races, but its very noticeable in any race that got major tech tree changes) is a two-fold problem; they 1) won't colonize in another race's sphere of influence in the first colony rush (ie for some reason
After loading up TA, and adjusting the Aggression slider to 0 for the Drengin it did indeed result in a + Peace-Loving stat to be placed in the Relations screen. My guess is that the numbers from TA were in DL/DA "under the hood", they were there and could be altered slightly by events/discoveries/tech/gameplay but usually not big enough shifts to say change a Militaristic into Peace-Loving (e.g. The Drengin start with a 70 aggression level; I'll have to check the exact number but I'm
I'd have to pull up the game to look at it, but I'm pretty sure if you go into the AI editor (that is the in-game start up section that allows you to customize the AI's intelligence/behavior) you can edit their militaristic tendencies and make them pacifists. and im almost certain that in diplomatic relations its *their* militaristic/pacifist standing that matters.
When making a ship style- you should only be focusing on the hull designs, not any functional components (ie engines). This is of particular importance in TA where the tech trees can be radically different, thus even if you had say the Drengin set up to use your custom designs, if they had technology on them that was incompatible- they would not be able to use it. anyhow, the TL/DR version: just make all your hulls/designs. leave the functional part for in game.
wow- every once in a great while, I pop my head in here. I can't believe Maiden got that 2.2 million point game. Especially, since I remember when only a VERY select few were managing to get 1 million point games. And by very select, I mean like 4 people. craziness I tell you. of course, it went that way with the ZYWs at first too- I can remember it starting at like 20k, then 30k, and just kept getting higher and what not. Anyhow, hope all is well. I
Dethadder had metnioned in a different post that he didn't know that I still stop by now and then (I do); mostly its to see if there's any pressing questions that I can answer for someone, or any news on the GC front (ie Brad's dev post). Still waiting for that day in the future where KP and I can create the Klingon Empire in GC3 [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
@Maiden: if you update an "active" game, most times it won't let you submit it later. There were a few patch exceptions long ago, but with GCII being pretty much in finished form, thats no longer the case. Anyhow, do what Jack is suggesting- start a new MV game and retire, that will let you know if you're able to submit correctly. If that doesn't work, open up a ticket to support. Unfortunately, the game you had won't be any good. sorry :-(
in short, im a lvl 80 Tauren Druid (Feral Tank/Restoration- though lately I spend more time in Resto); I play too much World of Warcraft, but I'm having fun with it right now, and I don't let it get in the way of having a social life.
congratulations Heroes of the Kzinti on the continued domination of the known Universe. always, Silverbeacher- ((currently Silver's soul is contained within a strange cow-like race that roams the grassy plains of a distant world, where he fights off fanatical Humans alongside some green-skinned creatures from some red world; until that world is subjugated he will fight on))
rough start: only 80k. But I can resumbit once, and hopefully I can not make some of the same mistakes, like forgetting to have weapons on my ships to blow up those orbiters.
OK kiddos. I finally have a day off tomorrow, and nothing to do. So I think its time I crank up the old girl and take her out for a ride. So: DA or TA? and what setup should I go for? Mind you I haven't played an actual game in almost a year now, so let's not get too hasty. I think I'd crash and burn on Suicidal. I could prolly be okay on Maso though.
[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="23" id="2132628"] One finger? Well, damn, guess it's not me. Not that it matters, but you could be included. I know I can write down a lot of names on one finger. Especially if I find someone with a particularly large finger. [/quote] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
Y'know KP, I'm not sure if you were around back then, but I miss the good ole days when I first joined these forums (Sept 2006), when people didn't act like they owned it; when trolls were dealt with- not by responding and fueling their rants- but by ignoring them (and reporting them); and you had genuine respect for those select few players that seemed like gods in this game (Mumble, Wyndstar, Purge, Mag). I can list on one finger how many players I have respect for. I still li
hey Cypher u were saying a while back about the Big Ten having potential but not being able to compete? I'm pretty sure I watched State kick UConn's ass last night. I mean, I could have been dreaming, but the news reports seem to confirm this for me :p
