*SMACK* I almost forgot a good one! Star Wars - Galactic Battlegrounds! It was simply Age of Empires 2 with a Star Wars skin, planes added in, and better AI. We still fire this one up now and then and laugh hysterically when we blast a group of peasants with a Air Cruiser. [e digicons]}:)[/e] I had initially bought it for 20 dollars a long, long time ago (not in a galaxy far far away) but lent it out. I picked it back up again about 2 years ag
[quote who="Tom Porter" reply="13" id="2085236"]I've seen normal AI use them and place them in meaningful locations and I've seen some AIs not use them at all...I chose to write it off to the type of AI: aggressor, fortifier, economist and researcher. It would make sense that the fortifier would do it and the economist or researcher as funds become available later in the game.[/quote] I never thought about the style of AI they would be. I always have my AI's set to
I had a game going with all Hard AI and one normal AI. The normal AI was my ally. Everyone else was set on FFA. The ahrd AI acted as it should. My ally however was absoultely idiotic. He had major planets being asaulted (that I had to guard for him) and refused to ever build anything but extractors there. His tactics were ludicrous. He would assault 3 capital ships that had an average level of 5 and had 20-30 smaller ships in support with his level 1 capital with no support. I say he
Fromt he games I have played : Normal AI - Barely uses mines and when it does they are in extremely low numbers. Hard AI - Uses mines often and in quantities from low to medium. Unfair AI - Just needs to stop it. Mines everywhere. They even snuck some in my closet. I check the bathroom......you know what I saw? Mines? Yup, they were there too. I looked in the dishwasher.....you know what I saw? Mines? NOPE! BUT THEY WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME! COMING OUT OUT OF THE OVEN!
I have many stories I ahve collected in my lifetime. Some are scary. Some amazing. Some are just...well...puzzling. Some are too awful and graphic for this forum. I have had no where to re tell my stories for other people to enjoy. I only ever really get to speak about them with my wife or a few of my remaining friends. I am going to change this. If this is well received I can post a story about every week for a good year. Some may just be text. Others will have pictures to go along w
In many games I find myself fighting in these areas. Usually it is small battles over the extractors there. Sometimes it is because it is a vital passageway. Nothing is worse than sending in your carrier based fleet and noticing a minute later that strike craft were docked and unable to launch due to the storm. *facepalm*
I have to list these two as they are my all time favorites. Call me a loon, but whatever. Shining Force Shining Force 2 Both on Sega. I loved the game play. I loved the story. Shining Force CD had an amazing story. With it's two parts (one per CD) that were 20 years apart it was just great to come back and see all of your old characters from the first part grown up. With your two main characters (The ones you named that represent you) teaming up at the very end
I have tried to get my wife to play SINS. Lord knows I have tried to get her to play many games. I just cannot break her of her World of Warcraft addiction.
Left 4 Dead was....adequate at best. It was a great...and I mean great Multiplayer game. This game was never intended for single player mode. That being said..... The games was released with rediculous amounts fo bugs. My wife bought me the game on the day it was released and I suffered greatly through all of them. If it was not one thing, It was another thing. Skipping cresendos, bloacking survivor paths, rage quitting. It was nonsense. Bu
Inspired by the "Greatest Disapointment" thread. What games did you run across in a dollar bin? Download from Gamers Gate for 50 cents? Have a friend give it to you because they were simply done with it? How many of you looked at those games and thought "This is going to be the biggest waste of time.....period . Then to your surprise BAM! It is the most entertaining game you have played in a while. What games woul
