Hi , wish I had added to friends the people in this MP game. Its just I told them I was new and they were really good about it, In fact I even suspect thats why they didnt bid the pirates on me even once and only on the other guy on my team (He was obviously a good player) , he carried me at the start(Name was ttf or tff or something) and fought both them and ended up wiping out the first guy(THINK he was quite new like myself) I botched my start game well at least I think I did

Hiya I saw you in IC :) my IC name is foxfire I no some guy was like no I aint doing huge map because it takes to long but I was typing back to you. My proposition was I would play the huge map but if I had to go in say three hours then save the map, or if it was the case you were clearly heading to defeat me I would just amass my fleet and leave my PC on so you could finish me off. I added you to friends and I can understand your frustration if everyone is opting for the fast fast fa

Yeah agree about the time thing :) nothing to add to the thread since Im new myself but as tec I have been focussing on getting a big fleet up early and perhaps neglecting things such as trade ports so this thread helps me as well. People say TEC is good for rushing but I currently aiming to sort my TEC middle and end game so I can play them more than just rush orientated. None of my friends have this strat YET but thats how we play as well on other strats , we all sit back and build massive fle

Thanks , hehe so many things to consider! Good point as well though.

[quote]Sabotage Reactor, Demolition Bots, Designate Target![/quote] I just got sabatage reactor and designate target yesterday, I think the reactor one was expansive and I think they did make a differance , especially the designate target one. Im sticking with TEC now as well, because arguably everyones saying they are the most balanced , I would love to try the other factions but I dont want to learn to play vasari and advent and then all of a sudden they get nerfed so Im sticking with

Awesome that really helps alot. Nice to know all my options, I will try for long chains. Im away to have a game now :-) Appreciated all!

[quote] if you have a tradepost on two asteriods the trade income will be more than the asteriod income[/quote] Wow seems like Im missing out by neglecting them then.......thanks! I also added 1 more question in my initial post and thats me sorted to try a whole host of things in game :) and Im away to play the game for the rest of the night. Its regarding military weapon and shield upgrades and whether they affect all ships past, currently building and future ships. Cheers for

Hi I have noticed some talk about trade outposts and as TEC I havent been bothering with them. Im just wandering what people think regarding TEC, my logic was that initially it takes some time to get civ infrastructure up on 2 or 3 planets and if I want to get up the military tech tree fast well is a trade OP not costing 1 logistics slot? Also say I do build one how does it work for example say I have simply 2 adjacent planets : TOP@P1 <-------

Maybe I will try that as well beejmin. Dunno I kinda like it atm, I will see how my next game goes, notice you won on that 4 way map as well :) I was doing great and procrastinated during my middle game , neglected diplomacy and ended up stale mate for a while and then because of that lost. The one thing about the pirates that is a pro unless Im wrong about the fact they attack ai like they attack the player is that I sometimes put bounties on the factions head who is the most threat to me. Even

Maybe Im off the mark but you know when you goto play a map is says small random or something well if you look nearish to the lower end of the screen there should be a button change map types and it goes something like small maps, medium maps, huge maps so to get bigger maps press that button and it cycles them by category.

The reason I like xtantos map is it in my opinion feels more real, I get the feeling there distance between factions and feel like Im actually exploring . Plus since I practice on it; it has helped my start game alot. The way the last map worked out it clearly showed what lacked, my middle game. I actually like the pirates , adds some uncertainty to the game :) but I would be interested to know if its possible to wipe them out as well? Currently I just get into a bidding war an

edit button gone nuts again but I must admit the wiki mentioned seems really consise and well layed out, easily accesible. Good job!

I just checked a thing similiar to a wiki and half the links were dead, the wiki mentioned on this thread well the link isnt dead and I like the design so it has my support . Would be good to have it all in one place I agree though. I would like to have a list of other sites that have all the good wikis+guides + strategies.

[quote]A suggestion ... if your worried about the fighters invest in the Kol battleships flack ability, get a chunk of flak cruisers (against computer advent I like to have 15 or 20 of them for a mid sized fleet), and get some fighters... the secret about Advent fighters is there are a lot of them but they are made out of paper... like a fleet of Origami Cranes. There are about 7 to 9 bombers/fighters in a squadron with a handful of health each. If you have a Kol or 2 and your own fighters you c

Jayswimmer I was like you initially , I like long winded and good campaigns but tbh the amount of ways to play the game of your own accord is better than a campaign and thats the first strat ever I can say this with. I would rather have seen a campaign in this game as well but the battles are so epic that no 2 games are the same, give it a chance , I have recommended it to my friends but thats what Im worried about that they wont play it for long enough to see it has got some real epic gameplay

Thanks , hate having to ask things like that but now that I know where to look I need never ask again. Appreciate the feedback :). I have actually played a few games now but I was mainly just focussing on my start game as that kept putting me waay behind but the last map I played I checked the graphs and it was just beggining my middle game that let me down , thats why its really handy to know where to look for those ships and more importantly , I will be able to follow the big strat guide on he

If you havent already done so: start the game Goto iron clad online Enter your login name and pass, if you havent got a login and pass click create account , once thats done goto step 1 At this point you have an account, enter details and click login Next just at the bottom you will see players if theres none there do add player and choose a name, think it has to be unique Maybe this is where you are going wrong but you need to left click on the player name then clic

Sorry about double post but no edit again :(, anyway thanks for the workaround by using the router so I take it 100% with all thats been said theres no ignore, thats a shame.

[quote]Me and the Monk have had the same problems!!! He created the names: the Monk (2 spaces) and Mr. Peebuddy (Extra space) which makes them diffrent names which look almost identical. He then impersonated us and misrepresented us. When logged as the Monk he made many harrassing comments to myself and other players, cussing alot and even being racist. IRONCLAD/STARDOCK, if you are out there, somewhere, reading this post I sincerely hope you will do something about this!!![/quote]

[quote] Or if we have enough on we'll skip pubs altogether and play inhouse so we're sure of a quality game.[/quote] Im a vet with many non strat games and I agree you do get a better game but the mind some of your friends stop playing , well by that time there probably will be less on IC because many people work like how you say. Community standard wont raise unless people are willing to play newbies. I would love to get a game with some of you though if even to see a good replay and a

I actually understand it being annoying if you are playing someone completely new thats why Ive avoided MP but I agree what the person said about if a newbie gets trashed and watches the replay they will learn. With that said if any of you are in a forgiving mood and need a newbie to fill a place feel free to pm me :)

I will adhere to that as well , in game I play currently as foxfire but Im trying to sort my game out by getting better at sp. Anyway /signed :)

Hi , Im about to go afk and have another game.(Think Im hopelessy addicted lol) . Anyway before I do this I was just looking up stuff in the strategy forum and I really need to ask this dumb question now and get it over with: What do the following abbreviations stand for? 2 Kols/1 Marza/1 Sova/1 Dunov/1 Akkan Maybe some arent abbreviations I dunno its just theres still ships I havent used as TEC yet. Is the Akkan a battleship or something?

[quote]I can't clearly point what ships are "worst" for me, but somehow I don't like revelation. It's not hideous but I just don't like it as much as others.[/quote] Each to there own I guess :) , I actually like the revelation, maybe it was just the name I liked and the first time I saw it I didnt know what kind of abilities it had so I was kinda worried. All that could have added to me thinking its something special I guess and it may not be.

Im not getting involved in arguments but duhman02 your summing up made me laugh there lol
