I lost my cap ships few tiems and I still won the game by a long shot :O Losing cap ships happens, especially if you are playign at 5am.

So what you are saying when I get hit with missile barrage, because I don't come on the board and cry like a baby so it would be changed I am somehow supporting your argument that it is overpowered? You realize you make no logical sense. I may have been pissed in the heat of the moment, but that doesn't change the fact that unlike you, I was in a position to counter it. I had ahead of time realized I would be facing this missile barrage, and I had planned accordingly. 
Dude I had a game last night where a guy tried to missile barrage my fleet of illums, he couldnt even break shields lol. Guardian + shield regen totally coutners it. As a matter of fact it's easiest to coutner it with Advent. I almsot felt bad :/
thing is unless you hit a cap ship with it you won't kill mroe than 1 frigate. The channel is 8 secodns but if the target dies befor eits over it's interupted.
I like option #2
Malice was not changed cause of CB. It was changed because of the recursive nature of damage calcualtion which bogged down the game engine. Malcie was also nerfed, by having it only affect x amount of targets. That nerf might have had something to do with CB. But even so Malice with new duration was not really useful in conjunction with CB, the timign would have to be so perfect only the best of the best could use the 2 in conjunction.
It is very hard. I want to use it with 2x malice, ie 2 motherships. If I get it to work ever I'll post replay.
It was my mistake. Of course I'll get angry at myself. I don't see why a game should be changed because I made a mistake. I deserved what I got.
Copper is still pretty fancy, I say Tin
Wait you had a lot of illuminators, but you failed to kill marza? I see no problem here.
[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="8" id="2123741"] Well... what race did he play, and what was his playstyle like?[/quote] I beleive I chronicled it here . The following morning I woke to the thread about flak being posted on the forum.
Yeah but the 10 damage is not a lot because it's 10 damage per shot not per second.
Lot of players know how to use Advent offensively like that. Post a replay and someoen familiar with Siddy's play style can try to assess it. I only played against him once that I know of. Anyway only time not to take Egg first as Vasari is if you are facing another Vasari, and you are confident you won't mess up. ANd possibly if your home is connected to enemy home. There you have options, usually siege cap or antorak.
Sins nubmers tiny? Only 4x game with more people online is Civ4. Sins actualyl ahs very healthy popualtion things considered. Hell you can even get a game at 3 am on weekday.
Dude you went vs Illuminators with Assailants are you mad? To even survive 1 on 1 basis, you would need to get all your tier 1 upgrades. Which isn't actually that much more expensive given the fact he needs 2 more labs. But on top of that Yous ohudl also have more assailants than he has Illums. And in a close game you probably can't, but getting tier 3 damage upgrade would give you an edge definately. Also you had no Egg, that's like autolose because you
Yeah Apples are more hardy, but Oranges are more round.
Depends who uses them. If you know how to use em they are the best by far.
What are you talking about, the longest route is not connected to every planet, that's the point. Also in Entrenchment you can build trade ports ins tarbases for uncolonizable areas. However in vanilla your route will go across gas giants, storms, suns, magnetic clouds, wormholes, and asteroid belts. Only Dead Asteroid wills top your route.
so lrms+flak living on their own is somehow a sin, but carrier+anything living on it's own is ok?
Ahh yes the Miens, yeah they do do that. Almost forgot. I am nearly never faced with a mine field that needs clearing. I usually kill miens as they are laid down, and have a few scouts for the oens I mis.
Silly you, other races are useful and equally fun to play.
I have replays in my replay thread . Most are there for their comedy values.
Total garbage for MP as only a fool can't tell the fakes from the real thing. I guess theyc an eat side bank damage from thigns liek cap ships, flak, and other illumiantors. Since you can't really cotnrol what otehr banks shoot at.
the files included with the game are in bianary it hink you need to download the TXT versions, go to the download option ont he website and get the moding package, it has a fodler of the stuff
