This sounds like the 1.8e fleet movement bug to me. Try using [link="http://files.filefront.com/Keyreg/;9530968;/fileinfo.html"]this[/link] and then update DA. If this isn't the 1.8e fleet movement bug, I have no idea. And yes, the .reg file is safe-feel free to open it in Notepad/etc or run it through your favorite virus scanner.

In one sitting running over 150 turns, no problems.I think that locks it for me. The stupid invasion screen is the memory leak. By sporing, you skip it, and bingo no problems.STARDOCK!!! If you can't fix the leak, can you at least give us an option to skip the invasion screen?[/quote] Unless you're running on a sys
They're pretty much all bad. Plague and Disease are possible exceptions to this rule, as far as the player is concerned, as AFAIR the AI still does not prioritize either of the cure techs. In a no tech trading game, this is disastrous to them; and it's still pretty bad if you choose just to never sell it to them. IIRC, you can also get a mega event where all planets in x system or all planets within 1-3 sectors (I think it's 1, I'm positive it's never more than 3) are increase
In the first DL campaign, there are only two uncolonized planets. In the second, it doesn't get much better-there are a total of 4, and you don't have any allies. The third mission technically has 8 uncolonized planets, but as 4 of them are Class 0, we won't count them. Your ally returns to "help" you, though. My theory is the reason your ally is so far ahead of you is because they've taken both of the available colonizable planets in the first mission, for a total of three, and left
Rangers are largely random. I imagine they're influenced more by something than anything else, but I have no idea what it is. Lucky Rangers (which are apparently not the same...but close enough) are influenced by the Luck stat. You can expect a fair number of them spending 1 customization point for Luck or taking the Universalists. Playing Altarians gives you a nice boost as well, and if you really want to see them, you may as well play with all three. But the primary effect Luck ha

[quote]So let me get this straight: If I'm rush-buying a building over an existing one, it will cost less BC if he original building was build ad not bought?[/quote] In essence, yes. When you rush buy a building over a built building, you get the full amount of social production invested into that building (which is always at least equal to and probably slightly more than the cost) applied as a discount, before the rush buy formula is executed. When you rush buy a building ove

Either you're playing the campaign, in which you actually -fight- the Dread Lords, or you're playing Dark Avatar and have Mega Events turned on...and have been "lucky" enough to have your Dread Lords not just roll over and die. I don't remember the Dread Lords ever appearing in an ongoing game in DL, but I could be wrong...it's been a -long- time since I played DL. If the first case is true, back down the difficulty. If the second case is true, try playing without Mega
Sensor range is hard capped at 15 parsecs, so...no. As far as the Galactic Guide Book goes, it's really useless either way. It costs enough to build that by the time you get enough survey ships out the door to break even on it, you're losing a fair portion of the colony rush, and even if it worked properly and reduced the survey module to 0 size, this wouldn't really affect anything as it's fairly small to begin with; really the only difference is -maybe- an extra engine on a tiny or s
@Roller123 That's not funny at all. Thalans are Super Hive...they get to build factory improvements at 25% cost (as soon as they're put in the build queue). This affects rush buying as well. At least, I'm assuming you're playing Thalans. If not, it IS funny. I made it work by using [ link="http://link.com/" ][ img ] Imageshack thumbnail link [ /img ] [ /link ]; essentially replacing the [ url ] & [ /url ] tags it provides in the thumbnail link with the [ link ] & [ /link
@Roller123 The basic idea is, you already spent that 500 on the NLC-you basically just rented it. Now you're taking that money and, because the game is so nice, putting it towards the Hyper Computers. The basic idea is sound. There's nothing really wrong with it. I do understand where you're coming from, as you could get God only knows how much use out of an NLC and then just upgrade it into a trade good for mere pennies, but that's really just how the game works. <br
They don't just "come very close", they're exact. ;) Sorry, had to do it. Rush buy cost = (base cost ^ 1.1) * 6. Of course, one needs to keep in mind that (base cost ^ 1.1) is truncated, as are 99% of the things in this game. I don't remember how I derived it anymore-I just sat down and looked at the numbers one day and it jumped out at me. I had two separate scenarios here, but they don't need to be differentiated, so I made it one. Simply, for a b
As a note, in my above post I meant 488 industry spent, not 488 cost. I think I mentioned that difference already, but I don't want anyone to get confused. And pndrev, your post made me unable to submit my edit. Incredibly annoying. But no hard feelings. I'm going to try making the image clickable this time.

Hyper Computers costs 540BC. An NLC costs 500BC. If you upgrade an NLC to Hyper Computers (and have not previously upgraded the NLC from something else), the 500BC of the NLC will be credited towards the cost of the Hyper Computers-if you rush buy. This -should- bring the Computers down to a cost of 40BC, or a rush buy cost of 342BC. Upgrading over an NLC that I bought, I see the 342BC that it should be. Upgrading over an NLC that I -built- (from scratch, even), I'm seeing a value m
Uh, you might try staying at Tough if you want to do a study of the AI's playing style. Normal, due to the intelligence it is given (but not the economics) just simply isn't representative of what the AI is actually capable of. For instance, on Normal, the AI won't even try to do anything about you spamming influence starbases everywhere to take their planets. As I remember, anyway-I think I had one race (the Drengin, wouldn't you know it) declare war on me some time after that, but t
No, a Counter Espionage Center does not remove spies already in place. Isn't this a Mega Event? I don't remember it happening to me for quite some time, at least since I turned them off, so I'm unsure. If so, try playing without them? Either way, might be worth looking into Counter Espionage Centers...for next time. I'd say just go ahead and finish the game, and don't worry about them too much. Like you said, you can't really get rid of that many. You -coul
And multi-quoting still isn't working properly. @Iztok Valid point. Anyone up for a toggle option for those, too? Please?
@DSep I tried it 3-4 days ago in DA 1.8g and it requires both of them to unlock the third one (i.e. to be able to research it). It specifies in each of them that it unlocks the third one, it just doesn't tell you the other prerequisite you need. What am I doing differently from you, that you're seeing the ability to unlock a tech with only one of two prerequisite techs?
I for one would really like (and make use of) a toggle option at the galaxy setup screen for bonus tiles on/off. (Note: I'm NOT asking for a frequency or value slider, and I don't want one. I like the real life luck factor involved with bonus tiles.) I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea-I love bonus tiles. I even love the food bonus tiles, if only because every so often I want to try a 100B planet again. I'd just like the ability to be able to play completely
You may want to keep in mind that the Peacekeepers don't have planets, and as such can't be wiped out before/without destroying their ships. So it's not exactly a fair representation, though close. Also, they get a ridiculous bonus to miniaturization. In one of my games, they had so many components packed into their ships, they could not have done it without a 600% miniaturization bonus-100% of which they can have gotten from techs, but they don't have anywhere to build the hyperion s
[quote]In my past experience, it works as more of an "Either/Or" method than an "And" method. You can have 2 prereq's, but having either prereq will unlock that tech.[/quote] You are incorrect. You must have both prerequisite techs to unlock the third tech, and in each of the prerequisite techs, it specifies that it unlocks the third tech. It does not, however, inform you of the other prerequisite tech you need to unlock the third tech.
I just had this occur last night, only ship I had was my flagship (don't even think I had my miner anymore), and at full movement points.
