Would make for an awesome DLC! - New bastard options - New resource - sanity points - Fits perfectly with the Martian theme I say go for it!

I thought this post was about Lovecraftian elements in OTC...
Didn't Brad mention that for multiplayer only one side has to own the DLC?
[quote who="Borg999" reply="8" id="3629847"] You really shouldn't need to reward early adopters. Unless a gamer has been living under a rock for the past few years, they are aware that buying a game after release will be more expensive than waiting for the next Steam sale. It's a conscience decision made by the consumer, and by making the purchase, they are acknowledging the pricing reality. No one is twisting their arm to buy the game sooner rather than later. <b
Hehe, I remember that Fallen Enchantress had a bug that AIs would auto-complete all their comstruction when you loaded a save. Could the same thing have happened here?
The trick with Stardock games is to play them 3 years after release when they've got their shit together. I have no problem giving them money on release because I know they'll do their damndest to earn it.
[quote who="zarax999" reply="15" id="3627343"] Nice to see another Freespace fan! As for aliens coming from post-singularity in long time, what would have prevented them from eradicating other societies pre-singularity/killling off sub-strate? [/quote] A hopelessly idealistic belief in free will? The statistical improbability of the number of turinium-convertible planets in the Milky Way? An intelligence report from 65 Million BC mistakenly claiming the planet was
The aliens come from a post-singularity society, having already gone aeons ago through the same cycle the Post-humans & Substrate currently are.
I think if they were serious about it they'd provide some sort of networked AI based on an server farm. Also, an more interesting question is, can they use AI to DESIGN games? One of SD's affiliates is already on the case from what I've seen...
Maybe that's why you don't require much sleep - no need to process all those terabytes of garbage visual information [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
I've yet to see a compelling reason to switch to W10. Also that 10 years old insinuation [e digicons]:|[/e] I hope for his sake he was quoted out of context but I somehow doubt it...
So you're worried that everything will fall to shit once you retire? You're probably right. Time to go full McAfee [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Great read! Btw speak9ng of budgets, iirc ashes has a shockingly low one of around 3M. That probably dodsnt take into account the infrastructural investment put into Nitrous and mr. Luff.
I think the new Star Wars is great if we get Space Balls 2 out of it.
Ive had that conflict since moo2. Maybe the solution is to have 'regional capitals'?
Question: is it possible to release the Galciv2 source code?
So what happens in 2029? Early retirement? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
It seems you've done a 180 on quite a few design decisions (queues, rrsources and the role of the 'minors' to name a few). I'm curious as to how that came to be.
Talk about first world problems... sheesh
I can only wish for all those people to one day run their own business [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

The entertainment value of old usenet dinosaurs like Derek Smart and Cleveland Mark Blakemore is far beyond any game they may produce.
The no. 1 mechanic for dealing with AI governors should be public executions of failed ones [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
marigoldran: Have you tried Offworld Trading Company? Sounds like it's more up your alley given your economy optimization fetishism.
