Too many things going on for a casual player like me to keep up with @__@
Supabish
I think the current income penalty for supply upkeep doesn't make sense. If a massive fleet gets taken out the supply upkeep should drop, not stay at the same level. This allows for recovery and a chance for the player to come back. Instead of having set upgrades I think upkeep cost should increase as a function of number of ships active and also decrease accordingly. What do you guys think?
[quote who="aaa11" reply="4" id="2708589"]well, cutscenes would be nice for story purposes sins has a nice backstory but its a pity it doesnt go anywhere[/quote] Instead of cut scenes, they could use the game itself to tell the story. Build a campaign mode and tell the story as you play. That is infinitely better than cut scenes for me since not only do you get the story but you're directly living through it. It's like watching an action scene compared to you
The description would be better off stating some kind of specially engineered shape rather than talk about aerodynamic profiles. I was just bored any way, don't take this so seriously :p
The TEC's second tier auto-cannon upgrade description says it boasts aerodynamic profiles which increases penetration. Um... last I checked we were fighting in space... which means no air. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?
I'll start up a new game and try those tactics out, thanks!
Some very good advice, thanks a lot guys. I am playing my latest game after my last post right now, and utterly annihilated the Thalans xD It would have taken much longer had I not found 2 Lucky Rangers. Those pesky Thalans fell hard from the top spot.
You see, the problem is that I have basically done what you have written. Everything was solid (I would always be leading early on) until the AI decides to cheat then it's no longer a fair fight. I think hard EVERY turn, doing absolutely everything I can think of. I said in my first post too, how I had more resources than any AI yet they managed to dominate my race in about 5-7 turns. Seriously, W.T.F.
Hi all. I've been playing casually for quite some time (since DL came out) and, playing the updated ToA, I am having difficulties keeping up with the AI. I was playing in a medium galaxy, 3 random opponents, all beginner difficulty. They were pretty easy to deal with in DL but now it is entirely different, especially the Thalans. In ALL my random games, whenever the Thalans are in, they dominate every other race. Just now, I have just quit another game because there was no point to ke
The patch is up and running! Thanks for all the hard work Stardock (and gang :p)
I really appreciate your assistance Seabass. I'll keep waiting. In response to Fistleaf, I do play other games in the mean time, but they don't quite satisfy me the way Gal Civ does :D
Hmm. The only reason I've stopped playing it is because of the botched economy. I was hoping for the patch... for quite some time now.
Ehh... EU has been up for a while and UE still isn't up. I'm no programmer but is it really THAT hard to update Impulse with UE CD-keys?
Hmm. UE still isn't ready. Anyone got any idea about the issue?
The EU is up and running. I'll hang tight for UE.
It has been a few days... but nothing :(
The issue still isn't resolved :(
kryo mentioned that it should be up and running in a few days.
So it seems I'm not the only one with the Ultimate Edition problem. I'll wait and see.
Done that, but didn't work. There is no option for the "Ultimate Edition" so I tried selecting the individual ones... to no avail. I only have one key but it doesn't work for anything I selected. Well done Stardock!
Hey folks, I've bought a copy of the Ultimate Edition and trying to update it. The problem is the game doesn't show up on Impulse in "My Games" section. Any help to get my game updated is greatly appreciated.
Go to the Research screen, click on Fleet Logistics, and upgrade your Supply level.
I feel they should increase the fleet supply for each incremental upgrade. This will allow for more ships, which should make for more spectacular battles :D
I second that, Stevo. I'm in Sydney and I downloaded the patches through my uni's proxy. No hassle at all. I reckon its the topic creator's own issues for his relatively slow download speed.
This is getting ridiculous. Ironclad and Stardock do not spam. At all. I applaud the companies for their services and their games. The fact that staff members are here, keeping in touch with their userbase is evident enough of their dedication. If you need help, Ijustwantapatch, ask for it nicely. No need to be a total ass about it. They are willing to help you.
