Well, I do not agree - it's embarrassing (to me), when you play 10 hours and then: Game Over, try it again. Just decrease the score by a reasonable amount wouldn't make it that easy to make huge scores in Metaverse, while giving you a chance to finish the game. Furthermore, If the "winning" AI get's removed from the game, late game colonization takes place, which makes it even more interesting and possibly harder to finish it at all. but that's of course just my opinio

I agree with Geoelectric, a swarm should at least be 'somewhat' useful. An instant idea: Every ship in a stack destroys 1 HP of the attacker. That said you could have 60 Star Fighters to kill one Overlord, which would be fair considering the costs (60 Star Fighters cost 1800bc, 1 Overlord 1500bc). Of course this needs to be fleshed out. Only some thoughts.

I think Morandil is right: there is a reason why the Drengins attacked the other races, isn't it? So if they desperately wanted a specific system, why should they make peace only because you ask them? But if the attacked ones surrender the system to them, the cause of war has vanished and peace can be made. Well, I don't KNOW this... :) but it seems logical to me (whatever that means *g* ).

@Astromarine This are indeed very interesting ideas. I think they would make Espionage even more nescessary. Furthermore it would provide new strategies to counter far superior ship technology, say if someone has Overlords and no one else has, you had a chance to destroy it's ability to build new ones. And of course to prevent this, it has to put money into espionage, which would hinder it's technological lead. Only problem, this maybe would take to much time to implement... :notsu

Well, I don't know much about Java, but isn't it possible, to download the whole page, so that you could look on it offline? When I browse the site and then go offline I can look on all pages I've visited. Isn't it possible to "download" an "visit-all-sites" which then could be looked at offline? If not then not. just wanted to ask. :)

Hi Folks I'd prefer (B) or the Cash Back Project. (B) is "something like" (F) and (G), but I suppose it's easier to adapt the AI to it (maybe I'm wrong with that :)). If you want to micromanage a particular planet so that it builds it's battleship faster, just don't build a social project. I think that one is a fine one. :) Cash Back Project on the other hand, has many opportunities for further implementions, e.g. you could enhance the social cash back project "furnit
