[quote who="DSep" reply="9" id="2007708"] Note to Seth: I give you a lot of credit for being able to build up a strong empire with a name like the Geckodon Alliance...jk but really, good job.

@ KP: On some level, I understand you. But I'm not sure on what you mean by it drawing data from the MV. Forgive me - I may have a multitude of posts, but I'm still new. [e digicons]:)[/e] ~ Cypher ~

Hey everybody. I have already posted this elsewhere, but I'll say it again - Sorry for the delayed response. My christmas break ended after yesterday, and now I'm in the middle of exam week, so I'm a little bit busy. OK - where do I start? @ CaptainYar: Thanks for the reply.
Hey everyone - sorry for the delayed response - day 1 of exams done. Only 7 more days left. [e digicons]x_x[/e] I could definitely add the AltMeta to the list. I wasn't sure about how active it has currently been, but since there are obviously still some players, I'll see what I can do. ~ Cypher ~
Sure thing. ~ Cypher ~
[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="12" id="2006492"] I was referring to an old bible story, where a possessed person is asked (by Jesus?) what is the name of the possessing entity. The reply is "We are legion", or something like that. [/quote] Ahhh. I see it now. Very nice. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ~ Cypher ~
[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="9" id="2006455"]Someone who is legion. [/quote] That he is, KP. That he is. (though I'm not too sure on what you meant by "legion")[e digicons];)[/e] ~ Cypher ~

Sure thing Taliesin - thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about adding some up-to-date rankings to the list as well - gotta find some time first. I have exams this week, so chances that I can get to it soon are not very good. Thanks again and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
[quote who="Taliesin" reply="3" id="2006431"]~Yawn~ Would you 2 keep it down, Not all interstellar spieces are nocternal you know. [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more! [e digicons]^_^[/e] I'm pretty sure the conflict is resolved, though. ~ Cypher ~
Sole Soul informed me about an overhaul Mod of the DL game by OnlyAnEgg. It's a bit old and supposedly has some glitches, but it looks like the most in depth Mod I've ever seen before, so I added it to the list. If anyone tries it out, let me know what you think - if it's true that there are a bunch of problems with it, I'll take it off the list. Thanks and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
I'm with KP on this one. [e digicons];)[/e] ~ Cypher ~
Thanks for the heads up - just added it to the list now. NOTICE: Most of the links on the list take you to the Mod's forum site. Usually there is a link to the Mod's Library location somewhere in the forum site. Some of the links on the list are straight from the Mod Library. If anyone thinks that I should add more of the Mod's Library location links to the list, I will be happy to when I find sufficient time. Thanks and Best Regards.
Thanks for the update, DSep. I'll keep a personal tab on Bringers of Light, and, when it is finished I will link it to this site. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

[quote who="dystopic" reply="14" id="2006163"]there probably wasn't any need to apologize cypher. pretty soon they'll be talking about the best creamed corn they've ever had, and they'll have forgotten your interjection ever happened.

Hey guys - sorry, I don't mean to interject into any Gerontocrat politics - I'm just bumping this thread back to the top so that it might get noticed a bit more. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
@ Seth and DSep: I really don't mean to interject here, and I don't want either of you two to take this the wrong way, but seriously - this was my first ever post. I was kind of planning on going back to it from time to time to see if I could extract any helpful tips that I could give to newer players. That being said - the both of you need to shut the heck up because your constant slamming of each other, no matter how fun it may be for you, is really starting to tick me off. If you g
@ JustinSane4: Thanks for the quick reply. I'll definitely give your strategy a try. It sounds like it'll work pretty well with how I play. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Thanks again and Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~

@ Audiogoose45: Thanks for the tip on getting the sticky started. I ask around a bit and see if one of the moderators will set up an '09 thread. Thanks again. Best Regards. ~ Cypher ~
I'm not sure if this is really a strategy, but I usually try and get some good industry techs from the other races. Yes, I know most of the colony race is probably over by then, but I manage OK. As for getting an early jump on the colony rush, I usually just let the fact that it takes about 7 turns per colony ship be a fact. I don't play at quite the level of difficulty as you (Tough is my best), but usually 7 turns beats
[quote who="Noctilucus" reply="4" id="2005248"]How about buying morale tech from another civilization? Or of course maximizing your trade income so you can lower taxes which in turn improves morale. Though this is risky: when the vote is cast to limit evil races to only 1 trade route that takes a huge bite out of your income so be prepared that this may happen. [/quote] To go along with what Noc
I actually have a question for the veterans, so here it is: Does the "Flip" technique still work in TA? The flip is where you start off the game just building either all research centers or all manufacturing centers, and then you flip them all to their opposite at some point in the game. I.E. If you started with manufacturing, you flip them all over to research, and vice versa. I know that this strategy has worked in the past on DA, I just wanted to know if the updates
I'm no Thalan expert, but for your question on what to do with the first three galactic achievements, I have three options for you: You could use all three of them to creat one super-powerful planet (usually players tend to put all three on Thala). You could disperse

@ sevenwarlocks: Thank you very much for the reply. It's much appreciated. I think it's great that you'll get a bit involved with the community - even though this website was created initially just for playing the game and learning about the game, I believe it has evolved over time into a site where you can also have some friends. So much has come from one game that I believe that we owe the game its continued popularity.
