MOO 3 Never heard of it what is it (whats is stand for)? :notsure: . . .

AI . . . this is for you and all the sneaky things you do do! I've started playing on more challenging levels (its about time . . . hehe) and I must say that on occasion I've seen the other races pull some pretty cunning stunts. Snail Trail. I was way too busy making money to notice a procession of Drengin Constructors to a newly conquored cornor of the map. When the time came to invade that super isolated region (it was a large map) I set an auto course right into 4 defencive
Hi ! I'd like to see a slightly different layout regarding the minimap. You see when another race gives you a planet or it flips or whatever . . . I'd like to see where it is. I know I can do this manualy but on a big map with dozens of planets under your control it's all too confussing (I'm easily confussed). Also in the trade screen a minimap with a highlight system or resource wand would be awsome! Once again its just a big map issue . . . Because you can't always back out
Theres a little applet type of thingo at the bottom of these pages which flips my work computer out . . . makes the screen blink every second or so. Not sure if thats related? :notsure:
Yiha! I'm a member of your tribe! Ouch . . . heya those drop bears have claws, yikes! Wrelease the wrabid, wraging, steroid enhanced, salavating 'Bunyip kinda type looking creature' . . . I'll be keeping her on a leash most the time. A 'virtual' Lammington for all . . . down girl, down its not real food. LOL . . . ehm. But seriously, I was wondering about Star Building and Galaxy Building Tech, what useful applications come from that . . . any obsessive terra formers here. :n
Thanks, its good to hear they're not very commonly built by the AI (sigh of relief) . . . :)
Not sure if theres an official 1.05.xx fault thread but yes I was able to simulate your CTD. I've hardly ever used that button . . . interesting.
LeegleechN - SNAP! I had exacly the same thing, I just loaded a Previous save and everything was cool. Wow freaky. :notsure: I also notice the star screen was blood red and the AI chat screen had the words Test . . . something or other in each box? [Message Edited]
I pretty sure I have the latest drivers, I'll have to check. Just befor the crashes I was trying uncolinize and destroy planet colonies that were causing too much cultural impact (so I had time to tech to beyond human). Anyway after I built a transport on six of my planets (that where seriously flipping everything around them) I evacuated the colonists, I clicked on details then destroy colony, then 'YES' . . . I did this for all of them during which at some point it would CTD. This hap
Mmm . . . thats interesting. Same here, I mention it because I read something where someone said it was a 'good' idea to post your losses as well? My biggest opps was when I gave my Terror Star to the Dreg's (you know just for fun!) They had fun with it thats for sure. ;p
I was wondering what the straight out score deduction is for lossing. Some of the best fun I've had have been in close games that I've lost (I'm starting to play at more challenging levels). Has anyone psted a highish score that was actually a loss? I'd love you to tell me the sorry tale that goes with it? (:(
hard to say what that will convert to, especialy considering I have no idea how the scores arer calculated . . . but it sounds like a great score, well done. Can you turn the addblockers off and resumbit?
Take me to your leader, I like Australia and New Zealand (I live there), I come in 'peace' LOL to kill, Kill, KILL! >:( . . . in a passive kinda way :) [Message Edited]
Interesting . . . I have a query, do our alien friends build Terror Stars? I haven't seen them do that yet, although I haven't survived long enough on levels past intellegent to find out . . . :p
Thanks folks, these suggestions worked like a charm. As I teched all the way to Nirvana the Dreg's were doing some Zen type research of thier own which freaked me out a bit . . . They had things like 'The Dark Side' and 'Mass Mind Control' . . . how kewl is this game! wOOt!
Ray CBS, um . .. no sry, I was talking about how sometimes when a Ship or Technology has a L - O - N - G . . . name there's no word wrap around (e.g. Omega Research for the Mickahel Gorbichov Fashion Scense etc or a ship called yada yada 1328 (only you can't see all the numbers and you have others with similar extensions)). Its no big deal, I'm being padantic, I guess you could just rename the ships but the techs are another matter etc . . . Off topic 'Why do the Dreg's always want to
Hiya, I DL'ed the SmartException and ran it in the background as you suggested and sure enough after the game crashed it was there . . . Only thing is I clicked on the buttons and they didn't do anything? I searched alround for the log folder or file . . it did dump a ***.exe.cra file onto my D drive but I wasn't sure if that was what you were refering too because the SmartException caught about 5 crashes in all (are they all loged in this 3k file?). Anyway the White window aft
This patch is pretty kewl! Still CTD on occasion but otherwise pretty stable. A tiny bug I noticed tonight was regarding the Omega Research Centre it says . . . This massive center will give us a 50 109322144mprovement to research Another thing I noticed was that a fleet of Constructors arriving at a spacestation all together apparently give you the option of upgrading as many pods as you have incoming Constructors . . . I thought gee whiz cool and happily added te
I might do that tonight thanks one and all :)
I like the Starbase Idea, thats genius (thats probably why I didn't thing of it . . . hehe) Thanks. Heya your from Australia (or New Zealand) too . . . kewl.
Somebody up there loves me! Thanks very very much to whatever angel edited my above indescession (I couldn't since it was over 15 minutes), Cotal is Latin for a Fool ya know . . . My spouse was the one who installed the game for me (as a B-day prezzie . . . suprize!) Anyway I think she entered her details (opps), its all straightened out now. (how embarassing) :notsure:
I love Researching Trading exploring absolutely every planet and Teching to victory as a "Voyeristic Pacifist". The only problem is victory comes too soon. I try and give away stuff (systems and non-millitary research) to the other races when I get the '97% culturaly dominant advice - i.e. victory in 12 mths pop-up' but its always too late. When I try freaky stuff (fire sales of resources innfluence and systems) to stave off a premature victory the program seems to gag and crash. This
Thanks very much [B]CariElf[/B], I'll do that 4 sure . . . :) Also re Big David's post : "Has anyone else noticed the interest rate charged by Terran Manufacturing in the latest v1.05 version?" - yes I did (do you mean the top one or the third one down, I can remember) the third one down is like totally ridiculous, I was after a quick Exchange last night and wanted to pay it off befor someone else built one, and the third choice was 756 or something bc plus 151 per month for 69 mo
#48 by Citizen jus4golf - 6/16/2003 2:55:53 PM I notice from the metaverse that your last game was posted on the 14th using version 1.04. Have you tried the new version? It seems to be working for lots of people. Yes I'm running 1.05. I'd like to add that the game does play alot better, is smoother and the AI in my opinion is a little more forgiving (also some graphical issues fixed). The only problem is that after about 3 hours of running it, I get frequent crashing to
HI I can't seem to edit my post anymore. This is a problem for me at the moment. :( This is wierd I can edit this one . . . but not past ones. No little Pen and Pad symol on those ones. "Oh shsit" I remember now . . . you only get 15 minutes to edit any post. Well, I have been asked to edit a post by some dude and I can't . . . pluck! [Message Edited]
