[quote who="ubernaught" reply="3" id="1891300"]Alot of it has to do with how conspicuous you are early I suppose... If you are playing as the Drath and get attacked early...it's quite hard to defend planets. Low pop growth can be a real killer, which is also a bit of an anchor on the economy.It took me a couple of games last week to get a start with them, just bad luck on the colony rush and a shouse tax income made me easy meat for the Drengin/Human. But if you start enough scraps

EDIT:IM SORRY I USED THE WORD OVERPOWER LAST TIME, I CHANGED IT CAUSE IT DOSENT REALLY EXPRESED WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. My Last Game with the drath was the must boring game i ever had. I was the mus underdevoloped race in the galaxy, it was very early in the game so i was not worried, but then after some time playing and the yor and the dregin almost a week or two from declaring war ( i didnt knew they were going to declare war, i just assume cause of my non existent military an
[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="3" id="1890261"] Quoting LordCarlos, reply 2Yeah well i was just thinking, if you can make a better custom civ that uses all of drath abilities than drath should be changed. Yes of course custom have to be balanced against the standard civs but if you can just make a custom civ just like the standard but without the negative points then what are we using standards for?, wich brings the question, really what are we using standard for?, for all you
[quote who="MarkWarren" reply="2" id="1878430"]Speaking of anaylsis, I came across a thorough analysis of the attack versus defense of DA last year, concluding that defense wasn't viable because it simply wasn't effective enough. I've played a few games and it generally works just loading big guns on big ships. But, I wondered what the general opinion of defense is these days? Do they compare to the strength of weapons in general?[/quote] Well this might be a one in a life time thing,

Today i was playing as the drath for the first time, first of all i must say, its a dificult race to play, im mostly used to play thorians and yor in TA so i love the one per planet improvments and because i play as those races i tend to have good low mantinamence factories wich makes the first part of the game quite easy, but this factories the drath have wich i belive (correct me if im wrong) are the standard ones are very baaad. Well lets just skip to what this post is for, there a
Well i think i will ahve to wait till the next phase. Thx.
Cool thx for the quick answer. Ummm well i dont know if i will have the money but i will try to pre order. Another question, is there a time limit to pre order sothat you can participate on the beta?
I just wanted to know if the beta will be Open, Close or Open for people who pre orderd. I ve search a little (Not much i must say ) and i didnt find the answer.
First, as soon as you research "space weapons" you can construct Star Fury and if you have "space weapons" and "interstellar construction" you can build defenders. What i think the problem is that you are researching a tech, and the tech definition says you will unlock that ship, but it also says what others techs you need to use it, so i think you should research those techs or just make a new ship. When you say that even when you make a ship from a template you can build it,
I once found 3 PQ26 planets as the yor on a large map, 2 solar one after the other with 3 PQ26 planets and 2 PQ12, needless to say i was thrilled.
JEJEJEJEJEJ, the guide was great i just couldnt make a good start. But now its all good, im controling the galaxy right now, i have an inmense production capacity XD , as a matter of fact i im so strong that i completly destroyed the arceans even if they had medium against my smalls(the fact that i had 18 planets against his 5 had nothing to do with it). A very bad thing hapend, the altarians surrenderd to the yor, now the yor control 1/3 of the planets and he thinks that i mig
Ok a little primitive but i think that can word XD , Never thought of it that way.
I tried your advice Loud and it work like a charm, i never liked to focus on military because then my reaserch and my first 2 worlds development went to slow but on the other hand i ended up with most planets i could grab. For the first time the machine(Cripling) didnt get a couple of planets of my sphere of influence. Well even when i did that and the colony rush went better than any other in my life, i was still stuck, i had the bad luck of being to close to the kryn and the
I read TA101 and i find it very helpful, as the Post states i try to win the colony rush, but i just cant seem to pull it off. Mainly the problem is i cant seem to build ships fast enough. When i play the yor i can build all my ships quickly and even if i cant put all my planets to work quickly i can still colonize a lot of worlds. With the Torians i got all my worlds working very quickly with thier 1 per planet improvments but still it takes them 21w to finish a colony ship and eve
Yeah man i know what you are saying, and let me tell you this is the business of the future, having such a good game that people will pay you to play even if they dont need to. I hate Battlefield for making you connect to the internetto play a singe player, forcing your cotumers to make what you want is not a good way of getting thier money. im tired of this gaming companies promising things they cant give and then expect us to buy thier games(most of them are just pure evil). <
Is always dificult for me to decide wich planet wont be able to support a starport cause all my planets are avg i hardly make a especialize world. Wich sends me to my next question, whats better? having a lot os especialize worlds or having lots of avg worlds.
Thanks for the advices and for reminding me of the wiki, i was about to make another post about how the fleet combat works but thanks to the wiki i don need to. I know a balance is important i just wanted to hear a couple of opnions, i always like to have lotsof hp so i always get xithanium hull plating and micro repair bots, but i will have to start putting more defenses on my ships. XD
The question is, should i put more modules to increase HP, or should i put more defences on my ship? when i first discover the hp increasing modules inmediatly i though of a balance between the 2, im the kind of person who likes balance XD. But i was wondering what did you guys think of it, and what are your reasons to put more a or less of each.
thx for the answers i always try to have a couple of core worls as my main manufacturing place and my border worlds just as temporary manufacteres. When i play terrns i alweays construct starports but this seems to be changing now that im playing yor. One more question.is it worht it to put a starport in a planet with no factories? ive put some starports this way but even the costructors are dificult to make.
Goo day, i wanted to make a litte quetion(Noob HERE XD). Are starports needed in every planet? OK, i know there are planets that cant afford to have a starport, like class 3 and 4 planets that arent dedicated to production, but considering a normal planet class 8-12, do you guys think that this kind of planet should always get an starport or they should only get a starport if they have 1 or 2 factories, or any amount of factories you want. Discuss.XD
The only way to not loose the transport is by having 2 or more in a fleet. Example:if you have 4 transports with 4000b troops and 2300 are lost then 700b tropps will land an stay as colonizers and 1 troop transport will survive. I belive the system works like this so you have to contruct new transports or you would just build 20 or 30 and go back and forth conquering what you can. So the best way to go is cargo hulls with the modules and a couple of engines to make the
I already Contacted Support 24 hours ago, and i remembered that i read that if they didnt answer me in a 1 hour time i could post a thread about it. Im sorry to bother you, i just wanted to know if anyone knew about this and could help me.
Hello i will like to know if anyone has a problem like mine and if they managed to resolved it. Each time i try to install dark avatar in stardock central i fails, it seems as if one file is curropted but when it fails to install the file instead of stoping or trying to install again, it tries to redownload the bad file it over and over. When i try to download and arhive and the game tries to install the game it just stops in one archive wich i thin is curropted and starts again. Dr
