So, I was at war with Umber, and a couple of times I talked to him to try to negotiate peace. I noticed that the first time I did, he had about -8000 gildar...then later we spoke again, and he had -14,000 gildar! How was that happening and shouldn't it have some negative effect on his empire? He was kicking my butt by the way.

Oh and thanks for that referral, how funny, did it not occur to you that I might have checked Google already? From the sketchy information available (even on Stardocks own site) it seems us Europeans have access only to the Kalypso owned version (mentioned above) which I think aren't curently patch supported which beggars the questi

Now that the caravans create money and not food, how do we make up for that lost food in the game? Will there be more food resources? [quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="4" id="2826083"]As i understand the changes in caravans in the release notes for 1.1 beta, caravans will 1) generate money, not food. and 2) distance (length of trade route) will not affect amount of guilders generated. 3) upgraded roads will generate additional r
What's making everyone think there's no AI in the 1.1 beta? the patch notes clearly say that the AI is now multi-threaded, so it should be better. It's just that Brad's very latest changes won't be in yet. But they still improved the AI. Where is the confusion coming from

Really the only way I would enjoy MP in a 4x game would be play by email, that would allow the time required to have a good game.
[quote who="LTjim" reply="35" id="2825014"]As I said above and have said before in previous threads on this subject, SEIV allows for pre-scripted choices that do not change in a battle, and certainly not turn-by-turn. One can establish targeting priorities, formations, preferred firing ranges, etc. and the battle proceeds without interruption to completion. For example, say one chose to research missiles. Those might allow greater ranged fire than beams, so the ord
[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="33" id="2824988"]Okay, let's say for sake of argument that the choice was between HD-quality space battles and tactical combat. Now, I can see myself becoming tired of using tactic C to beat tactic A, but I can't say the same for watching brilliantly-rendered ships shooting at each other. Especially when the ships you go up against may have different weapons, may choose different angles of attack, and so on. You're not going to be able to sit a
