Reply to Fighter ai in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'm personally a fan of games that let me just have control of the force. No AI is going to do anywhere near as good a job of running a fleet as I am unless there are no tactics in the game whatsoever. So what I want is a responsive AI that does what I tell it, when I tell it, how I tell it. Sure... many people won't be able to function in that environment... well, give them some nanny AI to babysit the player then. Because that's really what those AI's are for... bab

Why so bitter? *chuckle* roflzorz. a question that answers itself. The irony of your words is as usual... priceless.

I think there is expanded scale... they have multiple worlds... The big draw back of traditional RTS games when you expand scale of course is that the whole economic and production systems stops making sense. I mean, why am I training people 1 miles from the front line and immediately before a battle? Some sort of requisition system makes more sense with production and economic facilities at a persistent base deep in your own territory. We'll see what happens

In war people die... define your moral code before you cite numbers. I don't get this, what do you mean? I was referring to the discussion that USA had done some wrong things as well. To me 3.000.000 dead in Vietnam and 800.000 in Cambodia to stop an election is a big wrong. No. You're being too general. Define the circumstances in which a given party is responsible and under what circums

Reply to Preposal - Super-class Capitol Ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

super ships are ok so long as they have a solid counter. Much of the strategy of these games is fleet composition. if super ships do everything well then it takes no skill to use them. Big ships typically are very powerful but are also vulnerable in a few ways... being slower... harder to dodge enemy fire... hard to chase enemy units... Best used almost as mobile bases to bombard enemy installations in concert with the rest of your fleet. So you might wa

3.000.000 Vietnamese people got killed in that war. Even today thousands of people get killed and maimed by duds and mines left in the country. Not to mention the 700.000 killed in Cambodia during the same period by USA bombs without even a declaration of war. And how many japanese died when fire bombed their cities... and lit off two nuclear bombs over two of their cities? How many germans died wh

Well, the problem with the states in Iraq is that they do sadly reinforce their tribalism to some extent. You have it broken up by religious sect and ethnic group. When what we really want is for those factors to become irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It might have made more sense to split Iraq into many places with special disregard for ethnic groups or religious differences. Obviously some areas would be dominated by one group or another... but breaking Ir

SoG, very well... what is your long term solution? As to the US taking a long time to develop... it only took about 20 years really for it to solidify. Mostly it was states... but those states were solid. The civil war really made it clear that the Feds were powerful enough and willing to prevent any state from going against congress. Which happened less then 100 years after the founding of the country. Perhaps the solution instead should have been to work on

they don't need to be able to understand it to be able to predict and use it. Does a cave man have to understand how fire works to cook his food? No... he has to know it eats wood, the wind can blow it out, it needs some access to air, and it can hurt him. That's all the cave man needs to know about fire. Does he have to know that what's really burning is liberated hydrogen from the carbon hydrogen bonds in the wood? Does he need to know how many moles of oxygen will

Reply to Pirates Attack Way Too Much--Incredibly Annoying in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

you should have the ability to bribe the pirates... hire them like mercenaries... for a set period of time you get a certain number of their ships that will obey your orders. Upon the end of that contract those ships if any remain... return to the pirate base before going weapons free against your forces.

the evil ones are hard sometimes because you feel bad but a well written evil character will have a perspective in which he's admirable or redeemable. Especially one that you play. They have their own internal morality which is different from most people but it still makes sense and they hold to it more closely then the "good guys" hold to their own.

Maybe the Chinese are... are they a close US ally? No... so what's your point? And as to the US doing it, prove it. Think of the random 'dissapearances' that happen in the more remote areas of the country. that doesn't prove anything... just because people disappear does not mean anything is happening to them... they could just be leaving their homes or family because they want to start over.<br

TGE that is such a Kantian perspective and personally I hate Kant's philosophy I dont care who's philosophy it is, or whether you hate it or not. You can't convince me killing people is right, in any circumstance. That is why the UN has war crimes, and almost all of them are basicly about the same thing, killing innocents is wrong, and I would extend that to say that killing anyone is wrong. <br/

I originally thought you hid your brain in the garrolous garbage, but now I'm starting to think you dont have one... my intelligence is beyond your capability to impune it with any credibility. that you don't grasp that or don't realize that the point is obvious is most telling.

Tbh i don't like the the whole story about a bear attacking a man. Its not all muslims who are terrorists. And im not saying terrorism is justified but i do understand why some people in the middle east get upset at times. Not all bears attack people either... But if a bear attacks a man and starts eatting him... does the reason effect what you have to do with the bear? No matter the bear's reason you'll do the same thing to it.<br

We are peace with Canada, we are at peace with france, we are at peace with China... these countries are not going to war in the forseeable future. Well, I'd question you on China...but I get your overall point. Actually that's basically the one part of Kantian philosophy I like (to a certain degree), his foreign policy. Kant predicted that a "league of peace" would form among democratic nations in which there would not be
