[quote] The rule of thumb is that every planet adds 6 minutes to the game. So a 10 planet game will last 60 minute. A 20 planet game 2 hours. 100 planets, well you get the idea. This isn't your typical RTS with map sizes very limited. This is more akin to a game like Civilization where a large map can mean a game that lasts months. But you can still play a small map on fast speed in about an hour. [/quote] lol, yeah
[quote] What I mean is that one race can emphasize on lasers and range, another on fighters & bombers, while the last on guns. Follow up with one rase using alot of shields, another w/ armor, etc. Conquest Frontier Wars made a good point in this. [/quote] Renewing all units would be go-go? No way, the last thing we need is to make the races less strategically dynamic. What we need to differ the races from each other is unique units and research items. ;:[!] What th
Yah, now you mentioned it, I could just use the empire tree to see which units I have selected instead of waiting for and installing a mod which shows it. Thankx for mentioning the empire tree, Ron ^^.
[quote] I'de also like Double-Click to select all units of type rather than alt-click. Is there a way to set these things up? Would you want double-click to select: * All owned units of type on-screen at current zoom level? * All owned units of type in the current gravity well? * All owned units of type, period? That third option feels to me like it would be counter-int
Btw, could anyone answer this?: What is more ICO art? Character portaits? If not, can we then plz have some more of them so players in a match dont use the same, also because they are beautifully drawn? ;)
[quote] Losing your homeworld is just losing a planet, the game doesn't end because of it. You can always designate a new homeworld for the same bonuses [/quote] But you have to develope the planet from scratch if you take it back ^^!
ok, tahnks for the tip ^^-*
I dont know, I just assumed it would be possible because the game has an Enable/Disable mod screen under options ^^.
ehm, should I backup the whole SOASE folder? :/ Will you make this into a mod that can be activated/deactivated after the next patch? :)
And remember that this is large scale 4xRTS, which means that the units do have a different balance system than a normal RTT(= Starcraft RTS type games). :CONGRAT:
[quote] [color="#FF0000"]"Don't turn this into Starcraft or Dawn of War!" Blah blah blah. [B]Please, there's a reason why those games are so successful.[/B] [/color]Just because you consider yourself some 'hardcore grognard' who can 'deal with imba' doesn't make the game anymore fun or unique. [/quote] ;:[STFU!] EDIT: The last thing we want is the units to die at the rate they die in Starcraft. ^^ But I know, I also want a 10 year balance sup
[quote] MAKE THE VASARI SAY "HOW SINISTER!" HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my heart is broken.... [/quote] Yeah, I saw a video with that in, I want it too! :O Btw, what is ICO art? Character portaits? If not, can we then plz have some more of them so players in a match dont use the same, also because they are beautifully drawn? ;)
Hmm, I think you can right click battle reports to scroll up/down on the list and then left clik on the portrait picture to zoom to location.
[quote] ....the point of the empire tree and seamless zoom is to make minimaps obsolete. [/quote] Ahem! cough* cough* What about making the "shift" key the "zoom-fast-button" instead of the current "zoom-slow-button"? lol Or just give the secondary zoom speed key (default "shift") a bar for how fast it should be, either faster or slower than regular zoom, totally up to the player, but ill bet that 90% will choose it as a fast zoom
Sry, but where do I find the replay on my computer? :) Cmon someone, I havent got all night ;p Brrg, gGWaAaaaHh! I get epileptic seizure! Where dos I find the replays? This is most urgent. No matter how much I hate my enemy I cant be unfare! X[Hhha..!]
Ok, Np. :)
Bump* I think I should remind Stardock of this one as it is pretty severe gameplay wise. Where can I upload the replay? Edit: For the note, it happened after I loaded a singleplayer game, I think. Not sure how soon after, but yeah..
;:[Yarrh!], don't mess with the pirates!
[quote] Well after playing about 10 games, I've come to realize that there are some pretty big flaws in the game. 1. Its too slow, and takes way too long to finish a game, and I've only played on small random. I played one multiplayer game, and my opponent disc. after 40 mins. Probably due to pirates. 2. In all 10 games, I've fought my "actual" opponent twice. The other times its all been me vs. pirates. When I see them come with like 15+
Can we expect new research items to require more than 8 labs? Im with you all the way up too 50 (hehe, or maybe 30) labs for some heavy research items, if it would be best that way for large maps ^.^ :D
^H^H^H??? Ehm, I didnt have the Phase Stabilizer! They travel by normal move speed in between two planets that werent connected. Conected like planet A-B-C, the capital ships went by normal speed (ala, not phase space speed) directly from A to C, skipping B which, if you measure from A against B, C was 45 degrees to "east" compared to B.
Ahh, phase stabilizers you say? Ill check and edit this post. Edit: nah, I didnt even have access to Phase Stabilizers. I have the replay though. It was 2x capital ships. Im off to school. ^^
Sry, I meant between a astroid field and a planet. Nah, I called them back halfway (when I noticed the bug) to make them support some defense defending against a pirate raid. Has anyone any idea how I upload the replay file?
Just noticed this, some vasari capital ships tried to travel bewteen 2 stars which didnt have any phase lane connection. How can I upload the replay?
[quote] In case after case we were told that Europeans just don’t like “futuristic” games like this. [/quote] So they go after appearance when it is supposed to be sold? tsk tsk. Almost as bad as with the lame after lame movies we recive to watch, basicly kills creativity in an unnecessary way! ;:[..*] It is all FPS and blood for the christian Germans then. LoL, I cant help it, but lol... Which reminds me, I got a all brand new level for U3, the fan maps
