I use this strategy against hard/unfair AI's, and dominate... i mainly go TEC, 2 fleets of 8 capital ships each supported by a small squad of repair/command cruisers. Capital fleets consist of (3 kols, 2 dunov, 2 marza, 1 akkan)x2. On map with 35-50 planets, ill expand till i find a nice choke point, mostly building that first 8 capital ships and economy upgrades, once the first fleet of 8 is up i go with a star base at that choke point and wait for the inevitable onslaught

As one great general said " War is not about getting killed or dieing for your country, its about making the other poor bastards die for thier country! ". War is hell son, and this game is about war, survival, and killing. Its kill or be killed. Civilians die in war just the same as military, even in todays era of smart weapons. Just think of how many millions of civs died in ww2 and you'll be fine with nuking planets... You sound like a Borg or Ne

Once i setup the Fronts, research begins on the max number of capital ships. 2 fleets of 8 ships - 3 kol's, 2 dunov, 1 akkin, and either 2 marza or 1 marza / 1 carrier. Seems to work well vs 4 hard/unfair ai's. Also add in repair ships and command cruisers for support and the 8ship fleet is very tough. Overall a very good post on setting up shop with TEC. Also adding in some 40hull/s repair structures behind those gauss and sb's is good too. This is also with the M

Try the Mad Scientist Mod for Entrenchment, it makes Capital ships into true Battleships, i can win majority of games vs 4 unfair AI's with mostly capital ships, 2 fleets of 8 ships. Similar to a WW2 battleship, only thing that can really hurt them is carrier spam / sb / or another large capital fleet. Add in repair ships to support the capital fleets and the AI is no match... The key is the mix of ships you use, always have to have the support capitals like dunov's, vasari

Couldnt agree more, Vasari do get boned on the repair bays in Entrenchment, maybe cause thier SB is a floating death star... not sure, but the repair bays are just about useless, they cant even out repair a pirate raid never mind an enemy fleet attack. The only good thing is they do stack with the carrier repair ability for a total of 45/s. Entrenchment TEC are very tough with multiple repair bays covering each other...

Cap ships seem to fire on more targets too, a bunch of level 10 cap ships and some repair cruisers is something to fear !!

Once you wipe out the planet the mines stop homing and you can use scouts to kill them.... or maybe once you kill the unit that created them, something like that...

Just finished a MAD game, way to make a great mod even better !! 1 minor detail i noticed, Fleet Page - Ice Planet Upgrade Research - the info card details have the same text as the Desert Planet Upgrade Research. As always, great mod, keep up the good work !! On a side note, i kinda like the regular graphics with the Volumetric Explosions, it got kinda hard to micro mng those massive battles with both the Explosion mod and Graphics mod...

Using the latest Entrenchment version, i also see the same happening, usually works after a couple mins, not sure if working as intended or a bug... This only seems to happen on a newly colonized planet and first structure built is the phase gate.

Bummer, this version seems to be a dump fest, never got dumps until now, cant make it 20mins into a game now, as soon as enemy scout shows up it dumps....

[quote who="Neilo" reply="14" id="2058524"] BTW, what do you guys think of my new avatar? Kinda reminds me of the Nazi eagle, on a swastika, not that i think that was your intent. [/quote] Exactly what i was thinking, scary isnt it ? you must be a ww2 buff as well...
