And Mottikhan wants to borrow some beer, hell the way I feel right now You can have it all as well as all the hard stuff as well. I am never drinking again.(I think I've said that before) Woohoo! Just pour it in the transporter mesh in back of your computer. The one with the power switch. <img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n171/tm66524/
it would have been a 120K plus game.....dammit! Major bummer! The Arceans are a good race to play. I've enjoyed playing as Drath, but lately, I'm taking a shining to the Drengin. They're pretty good in the military area, which is right up my alley. I would like to join your evil empire he is Grandhuntsman Please do. The link is in my sig below on the Tyranny of Evil Graphic. Hover your mouse cursor
But on the other hand, anyone who gets banned can always choose to buy the game again and create a new or similar login. That's probably not in the cards in this case. I offered to buy the Gold Edition for him if he'd return. He appreciated, but declined my offer. It appears that the matter is closed and wrapped up pretty tight. Nowhere to go but forward from here. <i
Welcome to the Evil Empire, particlewave! Zort Mipz the Vivisectionist? Napanee, about 200 km east of Toronto, 300 km west of Montreal and 200 km south of Ottawa Just outside of Kingston. Hey! On a galactic scale, we're neighbors! Can I borrow a cup of Guinness? (I'll give it back slightly altered when I'm done.) <img src="http://inlinethumb
MottiKhan: If you would excuse me, I think you are not really following the argument very well, your replies don't seem to tally well with the points made. I'm sorry for the late reply and if I wasn't being clear. There are two issues here. One, the OP, which is a continuation of a prior thread bemoaning the realism of an all factory or all labs strategy. The question was if the strats should remain. I answered "yes". As it is, the
I don't see how the ability to control each production type individually would make the game auto-win. The AI would be able to to this as well obviously, so you would be on equal footing with it, and at higher difficulty levels, it would get all the same bonuses it does now. I am really not sure where you are coming from here. You might be right, but I can't see a way to lose if you can get all of the advantages of using the all labs and all factories st
The people arguing against me are defending a game mechanic that is clearly not being used the way it was intended to and that is clearly inferior to the ability to set each production type individually up to 100% both on global and individual planetary scale. It just seems like such an obvious solution that I don't see how other people and designers do not see it... If you have the money for it, you should be able to run both research and production at maximum capacit
I don't see how "this is a single-player game" argument helps make a point. The point is that there are features that an individual player can use or ignore. Just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean that you need to project your "reality" onto others. Play your way and mod it however you want. Leave the rest of us to do the same. And what the heck is a VR holodeck anyway? As you've never
All-tech and all-industry--should it remain in game? Yes. It's a game, not a VR Holodeck. There are lots of aspects that we must mold ourselves to and adapt, not try to change the rules because we don't agree with the "reality" of it all. If this were a truely realistic game, we'd be bored out of our minds. I don't know why some of these features raise such a cry of disdain from some people. Adapt or lose. <a href="http://
Aye
wow That pretty much sums it up for me as well. Your story is incredible, themocaw. I actually saw the people, ships and battles in my mind as it unfolded. If you write Sci-Fi or fantasy novels, I'd like to buy your books. If you don't, you should. <a href="
Smaller team sizes would probably work out well, especially in the beginning. I'm sure the rules will evolve as team play becomes more and more popular. Time limits are an interesting thought. I can go along with them. They could be adjusted as the league matures. I can see committing to a league, but it would have to include those of us who play DL as well as those who play DA. (I've been reading the stuff about the new 1.7 .xml file at the core). If my scores are lower b
bu ten i cud rit li ths nd ud undastan wha i men.... if you think that's acceptable then we could just go the whole hog and resort to grunting at each other and sniffing each others rears to communicate! OMG! You had me spitting coffee at my monitor with that one! <br/
I was going to play it out longer, but I guess I pushed too hard on the last enemy and they caved before I intended. I know what you mean. In this one, the last AI, Torians, just declared war and surrendered to me in the end. They wouldn't accept peace, even when I offered all of my tech, money and trade goods. I wasn't pushing them that hard either. I had even gifted a planet with two galactic achievements and some of my military to them a l
my ac works, but i will tough it out without turning it on. 40C today with the humidex, gross. That a 70C change from winter(158F). Drinking too much Beer, getting dehydrated,need water(cough) 40C today? I didn't know what that meant until I put it into a converter. 104F! Your profile doesn't mention a location. Are you in Australia? Raining like a big dog here. The western Hill Country is flooding. Water rescues, lakes coming into hous
i've been staying clear of the political / religious topics. Me, too. (For the most part, anyway. I might post a random nonsensical blurb in there when I'm really bored.) I don't think I'd be able to add much there anyway. It's not really appropriate for a gaming forum in my opinion, but can do you do? if Stardock were to show a bit of divine beneficence towards ES it would be viewed by many as a positive thin
Sorry guys, but ES's fate is not up for debate I think we all understand that. We're not debating, we're pleading. True enough. It's not our place to demand or try to apply any kind of logic to it.
I like parties, but can do without alcohol in most cases, so you can count on me if you need a designated driver. If I take a drink though, it means I'm going to stay wherever I am for a while, so be prepared to put up with me. I don't like getting drunk, so It's usually one drink or a max of two when I do. My wife likes Strongbow, but only has it once in a great while. She'll usually just have a few sips of whatever I'm having. Between the two of us, we can make a single
Well thought out and nicely said, Mumblefratz. I'm one for forgiveness and clarity. I haven't been here long enough to have witnessed what happened in Evil StormBringer's case. His being banned was and still is a source of great confusion to me. Perhaps Evil Stormbringer and those who were offended enough to have banned him could forgive each other and start over with a clean slate. I'd like to see that kind of maturity reign on what should be a fun gaming forum. W
I would join you guys, if I felt I had time to actually contribute something. Hehe...You're one of us, ElWhopO. You just don't realize it yet. You can make it official any time you'd like. Click on the Tyranny Of Evil logo in my sig below and click "Join Empire". You know you want to. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Cool.gif" border=0 al
NO SICK JOKES PLEASE Awww...You know us better than that. OK. I'll behave just this once. Summer has started here too. It's a tad over 150F and down to about 99.999% humidity. It won't be too long before we'll need our air conditioners. My sister-in-law's car recently lost its AC. I'll have to remember to call her up and say that
Speaking of which, who wants to join my campaign for Earth to become a PQ 11 in the next revision? I think its a pretty good place, all things considered, and all that liquid water...mmm, mmm, good! What's this? Earth as a PQ 11? I'd have to respectfully disagree. How can intelligent, much less industrialized life exist on a planet that's made up of about 70% water? And 97% of that is salty? A PQ 8 at best. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/
Great concept, ghostwes, and well thought out rules, ghostwes and neilo! I'd love to play in a tournament where an impartial Ring Master hands out the assignments like that. The win/loss scoring idea is nice too, since it would really level the playing field. I'd also say, play within one level of your regular difficulty. For instance, I play suicidal. It wouldn't be particularly fair if I decided to go cakewalk for the tourney. I'm not sure what difficulty would be one step below

Whaddaya mean "already"? It's been numerous days without a coup or at least an attempt to take our leaders life or position already! My, my. Where does the time go? And beside that, my army of spies sent distrubing reports to me....there are rumours of his evirulness being somehow entagled with some "Do-Gooders"-empire.
