What kind of tools would the community need to develop a multiplayer mod? Please let us try. How hard could it be to create a simple lobby system that allows players to connect to each other. You can already fake a MP game on a single computer by allowing a friend to control an AI. A simple lobby system could make this possible between multiple computers. I know nothing about programming. Someone else please provide the technical argument explaining why programming a mod like this

The worst thing about SE 5 is the turn times. With only 5 empires, after about 100 turns, you can be looking at several minute turn times.

[quote]The GeForce 9600 GT costs like 150 bucks. With that card every medium-fast PC sold in the last 2 years can play Crysis at medium details at least and all other available games on high details.Yes, it costs a little but its just as expensive as 3 games. So if there are like 5-6 games using this kind of graphics I'd upgrade.The Crysis demo actually defaults to the high settings on my 9600, and I haven't had any problems with it. The framerate is acceptable for my taste, but people who are p

I haven't played TA in over a month and a half. I remember Brad talking about some super-duper AI improvements that were supposed to be implemented. Have these improvements been implemented? All I see in the patch notes are "TWEAK: Various AI changes."

The wattage of a power supply isnt as important as the amps on particular rails. I believe graphics cards utilize the 12v rail. 350 would probably be sufficient with a strong 12v rail, assuming he isnt running a dozen hard drives as well.

I get random crashes just about everywhere too. Usually before or after an invasion. The crashes seem to happen more frequently if I am playing a game that I saved before I won. I often save the game about 5 turns before winning, so I can go back and try different things. I've also heard that loading a saved game of the game you are playing (while you are playing) can corrupt the save. Its supposed to be fixed, but when I do this, the crashes seem to happen more often.

I saved the game immediately before invading the last planet and it didnt crash. Same thing was happening later when I tried to conquer the Yor. Saving immediately before invading seemed to prevent the crash again (crashed over a dozen times before I tried saving immediately before the invasion).

I just eliminated the Drengin empire, and as soon as a movie began playing notifying me of my accomplishment I crashed to the desktop.

I also have the x3100 and was getting many random crashes in DA with the 14.31.1 driver. The SOFTWAREVP command did not work for me when using the 14.31.1 (fonts flashed rapidly). After updating to 14.32 the crashes have stopped (note: this driver was pulled because it gave users a lot of problems, but its mostly bug-free for me). however, i am still getting a lot of random crashes in TA. No error messages or anything, just crashes to my desktop. You can find a link to 14.32 h

I didn't pick the "creative" perk when I started my game. Does that mean I don't have it, or is every race inherently creative to some extent? No message said I received these techs due to my creativity. Also, there is no reason to suspect they are Arcean techs. I dont think this is due to the creativity 'boost' because I received about a 12 instantly. That seems like way too many.

While playing Krynn, I encountered the Arcean empire. When the initial "you met" screen popped up, I decided to "speak to" the arceans immediately. I wanted to trade technologies with them, however, strangely none showed up for trade on their side. After closing the diplomatic trade window, I received notification after notification about NEW techs I just learned. Must of been about a dozen new techs. Is this a bug or do the do the krynn have some kind of technology that occasionally lets them s
