I have to agree on the point that, if defences costs more than a whole new third tier grade grand FLEET, and can't fend off a full first tier fleet, something is unbalanced, either costs and/or dmg done by defense installations... Still with 1.02, if you want to win online you really need to focus on zergish fleets instead of enjoying the otherwise nicely done research trees and planetary development... a shame really.
I still think its one unit that negates a whole slew of things in the game. I know I can win online with them, rather easily, and against the AI, easily, but I don't want to, thereby making it my opinion... :P I think the game is full of nice stuff that you as it is, if you want to, completely pointless besides researching up to Siege ships, get 3-5 planets in order to spew out new armadas if one gets lost, and there by beating anyone who decides to go deeper into research and
Reminds me too much of rushing.. Thanks though for retuning the siege ships.. :) Now, onto carrier fleets.. :P
Hopefully more companies will follow suit with the release system too! :)
edit: NM!:P
I seriously hope that this also means that the AI will build, well, something else too? Mixed fleets? Because atm it seems the AI is broken.. hopefully though, lesser HP on the Siege units will mean it gets a lower ranking on its build queue?
Skip research, pump out either siege units or carriers..
Well, since I was bored, I went online... :D :D :D Siege ships work there too!
But, at this point this RTS is rather busted because with one or two cheap strategies, you can win rather quickly... Hint, want a quick game, spam Siege units, or spam carriers.
Yeah, but, it would be nice to see the AI doing *something* else at above easy settings imho. And, its totally out of wack if a fleet with 2-3 cap ships alongside most of your points in ships, numbers of gauss platforms, and numbers of hangars just *can't* kill a siege armada before it twacks the planet.. And, "tons of defences", theese were my chokepoints, which are recommended in the FAQ's, behind I've got my other planets, full with civs and very little defences.. the AI won't g
Atleast for me! :( I just got the game yesterday, and gotten a few games in so far, each ending with the same thing. I like to build planets up, then move to the next juicy one and tear it apart, and rebuild. Though, about 30 minutes in in each game, the AI tosses theese fleets of 14-20 Siege armadas on me, and totally wipes out my planets before I can do anything about it. In the last game I thought I'd make it, were expandin faster, had the pirates paid off to go aft
