Two things that forgot to be mentioned 1> Ships with a defense value that is greater than their attack value get a special bonus – when attacked, half their defense counts as an attack. A Battle Axe with 3 attack and 6 defense actually gets to roll up to a 6 for its attack roll when it is attacked. 2>Factors that come into play include looking at how much military might is in orbit of that star system. (regarding resistance to culture flipping). Defenders DO have a go

Well, the other reasons I think wading through the long thread is not only tedious but a basic waste of time is a lot of the earlier pages are no longer applicable due to game updates. Imagine reading a cool tactic in an early post, only to find out that paticular stratagy of pseudo-cheese has been addressed in an update, and that update itself is obsolete. lol That, and current viable stratigies can be a pita to find (like the start oulined on post 1026 or something clost to that numbe

Just finished reading the ANZAC A.S.S. thread. nice reading. One thing that GROSS might want to consider is the possibility of a new thread. Reading an empire thread that is 8 pages is attractive, reading one that is 82 pages long is intimidating, and a lot of good [b] evil [/b] stories will be missed. And after all, it's the stories that is going to attract newbies to fold (maybe). I quit at the end of page 4. granted, it was an early exit from the thread. but I was tired, had my 4th con

I wish i had the option of going to a friends place, but alas the problem is not in my associations, but the local companies.

Why Condoms Come in Boxes of 3, 6, or 12 A man walks into a drug store with his 8-year old son. They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks, "What are these, Dad?" To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called condoms, son.... Men use them to have safe sex." "Oh I see," replied the boys pensively.

[quote]v1.05. The date in the upper-left RARELY matches the actual date of the game. This bug has appeared since I bought the game. Start a new game... say DONE on everything. Click TURN button. No date change. Did the turn take effect? I quit playing the game because of this bug! I NEVER know if my turn took effect or not. Sometimes the date lags behind the actual date. In other words, the date will change, but then you'll click somewhere in the window, and the date will change AGAIN... without
