Reply to We don’t like the research mechanism in Elemental Dev Journals Sins Forums

Brad what is the techign mechanism? I see in your latest build there are 5 different "schools" to tech. However, are the poitns split between the trees? Can u research multiple trees at the same time? What is the deal? I recommand u try a game called Armada 2526 if you have not yet. that's 2526 not 2525. They have very nice way of teching. You build a generic research lab, which generate research points that can be used in any school. Then you can upgrade them to specialized buildings

GJ so far! I'm loving the expanding of your city on the map. It's really cool. One question thou, will there be terain changing spells? I loved playing as green in MoM, and using my spells to change the land to make it more hospitable, which in turn made my cities grow to maximum population.

LOL Brad Gnoll untis are just awseome melee str. You are lucky u had the stoneskin otherwise they would have totally dominated you. The drawback to gnolls is they have very small "tech" tree, so not a lot of advance untis/buildings :) Its harder to keep their population happy as a result, and u get less gold cause you cant raise taxes as much. But they are awesome rush race. Also to note in reference tot he planes, its a fun aspect of the game. It's not unique to MoM. I know of

Reply to It's too easy to make peace, AI can be gamed too easily, more mission types. in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

This problem has been aroudn for a while thou it's not unique to Diploamcy thou it may be solved by it if we work it out right. I played a game on 21 solar systems custom map I made back int he day. This was before entrenchment, and basically i did same thing. I would ally with everyone but the guy im currently pounding on. And thus I slowly took voer his land. Then when he was done, I would pick next target.

Reply to Elemental: Quest Discussion Part 2 in Elemental Dev Journals Sins Forums

I believe you should have triggered quests, quests that are triggered by player action. This may not be a 100% but a scale of 1-100% chance to trigger when certain action is made. For example: Quest triggered when you build a certain building or unit in a city. Such quest may direct you to build more of such unit or building and upon completion you get a reward, usually an upgrade to such unit/building. Quest triggered after a major victory or defeat. Quest triggered a

Reply to [Suggestion] 1 capital per star system in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I agree witht his suggestion. Always thoguth of something like this myself. Thou the new capital would be not a homeworld, but the upgrade option can be int he same place af Homeworld, jsut have to chose different option. These System capitals would cost a bit to upgrade, and mayeb not give bonus tax and meta/crystal. And theys hould require Diplomatic research to enable :)

"Each Trade gives 1.3 plus .1 per chain" Unless somethign was change thats not how it works. Chains always worked in multiplications. So I assume this is on the new speed in Sins Diplo? Cause thats the only way i could see this workin out like that.

Reply to Fleet Logistics Expansion? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I must say the logistics tree could use some love. Maybe add research that reduces some logistic cost for various ships, making specilizing a bit more appleaing because it always has drawbaacks. And I would say the cap ship crew thing needs a bit redoing too, like reduce cost for capship upgrades or grant some for free with the regular logistics expansion.

Its a new think that the network egg heads came up with. I guess jsut rerunning the season in the summer doesnt get you many viewers. God forbid peopel would go fkin outside right? But they shoudlr ealize the lack of viewership is simply result of people having enough of the watch-on-our-scheduel shenanigans,a nd they are usign technology to watch it on their own scheduel isntead.

Reply to Stargate - Universe in Everything Else Sins Forums

I must say I loved the chair scene, it was nuts how the chair was just like drilling into the guys head lol. Also to note from that episode, up until it was realzied he was the one who framed the guy, Rush was actually acting likable. I was thinking, hey this guy is kinda alright, they do need him. I guess that was intentional on the writers part.

[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="250" id="2458193"] More then likely its the first planet theyve come across with that amount of power fed into the Gate without it blowing up in their faces. But just like theres thousands of Earth Like planets. Its safe to assume theres 100s if not thousands of Icarus like planets.[/quote] Well the truth of the matter is that SG, like many other Sci-Fi shows, never really fessed up to the fact of how big a galaxy is.
