erjee

ah thanks for that correction, thought they were anti capital.

LRM's do capital damage, that means they are anti CAPITAL ships, so when he masses LRM's counter with light frigates.

Here is the first 4vs4 multiplayer replay! Download here: [link="http://www.2shared.com/file/2804337/6849430d/4vs4.html"]replay[/link] [link="http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/43712/4vs4-zip.html"]mirror[/link] It was a 4vs4, the tactics and strategy were still a bit rough with so many new people though, but the teamwork was good. Some nice battles, including a 3vs3 fleet battle pirates are really strong it seems now, not just a mere nuicanse. <br/

Micro pays off early game, where generally you have your cap, and about 10 frigates, if you micromanage focused fire on his frigates first, and micromanage your capital ship abilities you can win the first fight easily if the other doesnt do this. Late game it becomes less important, but the earlier smaller battles determines who gets which territory, and are very important.

In the beta it saves every 10 minutes, so a crash should be at most a 10 minute loss.

Wow! That was an epic game indeed, lots of capitals, big battles, and exciting upto the end. I thought emperor redlab and astax were going to win at first, but when there fleet got decimated at your asteroid they were on the run from then on. Also cool random map with the star in the middle, its just not very cool that it takes so long to travel around the sun, good place to fight with your carriers.

Emperor redlabs blunder was that he was really slow to colonize, 3 planets including his HW at 30 minutes. BTW this is Dutch from the chat, i think redlab means me with whom he plays? Nice rush all in all, but if red had expanded faster he would have given atleast a better fight, also him and 99 didnt communicate at all.

1vs1 is around 1 and a half hours, 2vs2 with equal players, is usually 2 hours minimum to about 3 hours. Oh yeah, its pretty hard to find a game, on the weekends there is usually a game going on, but it can take several hours to find enough people to get going. But that should change with release.

Good to see another multiplayer beta tester. Becouse the last few weeks have been very quiet :-( But as they said, dont expect to find people in the ingame lobby, the chatchannel is where you go to see if anyone wants a game. But with the problem of different versions, which has been resolved now, the last few weeks were not very busy multiplayer wise. A few months ago there were way more people, we even got a 10 player game going once in beta3, too bad it cra

Would be nice for a direct download link, i never had a problem though, becouse i also bought galciv2. But for newer customers it can be quitte confusing i guess, the fact that you have to download it through a client program.

Cool, i know you americans wont read this now since it is still night over there, but im in the sin chat channel now. say 6 pm GMT, that is 10 am for you guys?? Well ill be there.

Cool game to watch, you really were the better player there, taking on 2 of them. But i liked how orange agreed with you evil plans and then proceeded to backstab you. But i think 3 player ffa never work, 2 weaker guys gang up on the stronger one, and it can take forever to grind him down.

Yeah was fun, i have the replay btw if people are interested. (Im Dutch btw)

But we are starting one now aswell i believe.

For you it starts next week, the European Union decided this week is better, dont ask me why, all i know is, wintertime went in today for me.

lol what? Antartica??? Damn thats cool, wonder what your ping will be though

Today its the start of winter time, so the clock is set back one hour, nobody mentioned that yet So game starts in 6 and a half hours in stead of 5 and a half...

I wont be able to play saturday, but sunday 4pm GST I can (11am EST).

[quote]erjee: who are/ were you in the game? cant remember that name in either game. ps. first game crashed after about an hour, so nothing too big to report. second game crashed after ... I'd say about three hours and was pretty good. had some nice strategic decisions and tricks in it. [/quote] My ingame name is Dutch. So another game for sunday? Same time?

here we go again.

heh game crashed, need to remember to look at it for espionage

Maybe we will do a direct ip game, wait here for a few minutes for more details...

So were pwned now becouse ico is down now we wait...

Bump: 2 more hours for the game to start.

just saw some of the previous videos you made with the webcam, quaility is not good Very hard to make everything out, isnt there a way to capture it with something like fraps and broadcast that?
