Each ship probably has a bunch of texture maps on them which reduce the file size...instead of drawing each individual pipe and armor plate, they make a color swatch or something in photoshop (or equivalent) and smack that on there...saves memory and stuff....I despsie texture maps....they are impossible to do in Maya!!! -Phal
Maybe there were a few Advent Dudes standing by to mitigate the effects of it...
Stalemate could be the second expansion and then the third could be Checkmate (as in end game)... :)
Demigod Starcraft II COD 4: Modern Warfare II No brainers
Haha isn't that a good attention getter though i made up? lol :)
The much awaited and very secretive Stalemate is going to be hitting Impulse next for pre-order and access to the Beta. Stalemate is the second "micro-expansion" that Ironclad is adding to the original game. Everyone get your credit cards or PayPals ready because the Stalemate needs to end!! <
Haha...see England was Indifferent towards me then so I landed two full armies to attack London...easy. Then I massed 3 full armies to kill Scotland and Ireland. The US is now in existence and it is not powerful. The East Coast will be mine!!!!! Ceylon is also under a rebel faction's control since the Dutch were wiped out...I have a navy fleet and a transport fleet going around Africa now ;)
You people on these forums can't make up your collective minds. Flak sucks. Flak owns. Flak is OP...
Hehe whateves... I just wiped out the Dutch and I've taken London but Scotland/Ireland still stand and their colonies...England will go down soon!!!!!!!! I think one more region and I have my 40 regions...but who said that was where I stop...
Yeah I destroyed a few schools...and haven't upgraded some...but i did need to upgrade 1 to get the last few techs...I don't get why schools cause clamour for reform....wouldn't the lower classes want to be educated....
That's sad...wanting to ban someone from a game forum....that's the sign of the apocalpyse...
Haha...well that's what I just did actually. The French don't exist...they rebel a few times but they lose as normal. I have 36 regions under my control and clamour for reform is killing me...i have like 5 techs that still need to be researched then my 6 or 7 universities are behind destroyed...no education for Mother Russia!!! Funny how Spain watched me destroy France while I remained friendly with Spain haha -Phal
Hehe...I still hate doing French homework/projects...etc....
Haha bugs....gotta hate them... In my Russian campaign I have no intentions to invade Poland or Sweden (b/c I have Polish/Swedish/Russian/Irish blood) but I do intent to completely surround their empires with mine lol....that's not intimidating at all. I'm going to send a fleet to the Inuits eventually once I wipe out the Prussians. Morroco is going to die soon too. :) Spain doesn't like me b/c i'm at war with their lover France b/c France attacked my lover Poland (and because I utter
Haha....I've only tested the game for about an hour with the two latest mini-patches. I started as Russia. Its around 1710 maybe idk. I took Ingria from the Swedes and persuaded them into a peace b/c both of us had four enemies (barbary states included). I wiped out Georgia (the country lol) and Dagestan. Crimea...what's that? That never existed in my history lol. Ottomans are about to lose two cities once i start up the game in a few minutes.... Yay!!
[quote]I've had some bizarre auto-resolves, though. Probably ended on the extreme end on the RNG. I remember I didn't want to find some battle, forces were close to evenly matched and a full 20-unit army on each side. I hit auto-resolve, and I won losing only 200-some men, out of ~2.4k. I don't think anyone could pull that off manually.[/quote] My autoresolves when besieging cities are highly disproportional many times. Sometimes its 1500 vs 1500 about and they lose all 1500 and
I auto-resolve everything!!! haha. My laptop is good but it's crashed during battles so I just let the AI do it in a second :)
Other than a few bugs and maybe semi-dumb AI at times its good. Yeah that Greece city I'm not bothering with by sea since Venice has a bigger fleet than me. I don't have a single ship yet and they have about six so efforts would be wasted via sea. And the reason I decided to attack Ottomans was because they had three Cities/Towns in my LOS that had one unit of defense each so I couldn't pass the oppurtunity up. And the Ottomans are spread over 12 (now 10 hehe) territories
[quote]They have an interesting start. No colonies anywhere, no access to water. Plus, you have to make sure Austria sticks around otherwise we wouldn't get our Arnie.[/quote] Actually Austria does start with one Trading Port in the gulf of Italy next to Venice. It's pretty much hidden and I didn't realize I had it until I realized I had a bunch of overseas trading options. But, until expansion they only have one port. For my Austrian story...I'm
Hmm Austria, I have not even started an Austrian campaign. I beat the British campaign on Normal. That was fun but it didn't register it in my stats as a Campain Completed. Maybe in between classes I'll think about the Austrians...
Yes indeed :D
[quote]You can also re-fill your units without having to retreat to a city. So it helps keep the action moving.[/quote] Yes I love this feature...especially in the fight against Indian tribes in the middle of nowhere (Plains Nations??!? who decided to put that there....its the Black Hills and no gold mines...wasn't there a gold strike there once? even though it wasn't founded at the time of the game yet I think....wow I rant good night) -Phal (again)
[quote]I'll give the game a whirl.[/quote] Def worth it...its a great game to study to or read to...do a turn read/study a page... We'll see how well this theory holds up on Monday when I get my Crime and Society test back....gulpage -Phal
If you wait a few years you can read mine. I'm working on one that is an alternate Earth and another is in a series in the future about Mankind following the life of a soldier.
Hey guys, been a while... I'm on a roll with Sweden!!! I kinda abanoned my Brits campaign due to the laggyness...I have 14 territories with the Swedes. I'm allies with Russia but they may be planning an attack. Almost all major powers are friendly or indifferent. Its only 1726ish and my eco is great. The Polish have been wiped out, so have Denmark and the Inuits by me :) Good times. FearlessDefiance, you still on your Brits campaign?
