[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="5" id="2117679"]governments are surely a good idea, but I agree that this is definatley something for the empire wide level and not on a per planet basis. makes less sense and creates more micro. in about all 4X games, government type choices affect all cities/ planets/ colonies in your empire. [/quote] Yeah, it would make little sense if you have different governments on different planets. Maybe picked it from the beginning and can't be altere

In fact, every time i start a game, i wonder if i have to go for a mothership or a rapture (which also works great with a radiance) and everytime i pick up a mothership [/quote] Thats the problem with Advent; there are so many combos its hard to choose (although they don't get WMD like Marza).

Siddy: Go for it man. Halcyon, Progenitor, guardian, flak, illu. Abuse the hell out of it.

That's about the only thing that is missing from this game, a campaign!

The autocast in this game is all screwed up. Some micro is necessary. I sometimes dominate pirates when they raid; they are mostly useless and get scuttled. One pirate ship can steal credits (fun).

Advent homing shield is a lot like spider mines from Starcraft; they can detect you from some range and chase you. I think its the best mines of three factions. Sometimes kill my scouts trying to clear them.

Don't forget scouts! They are over powered!

If you are playing Advent, you can check the shield mitigation. You get a little mitigation bonus in your culture. You can also check the planet. If the enemy planet is loosing allegiance; it is under other culture (probably yours.)

TEC voices are ok, but Hoshiko sound a lot like a eunich. Need repair?

Hahah, I think Vasari is suppose to bypass the choke point instead of bust through like other races.

SOSE license plate??? You guys are too serious about this game.

I suggest get Marza as first ship. Get a colony frigate to colonize. Put first point in incendiary shells and 2nd and 3rd into radiation bombs. You should be able to kill militias fast. I usually get civilian lab first until I get trades going.

I found that Advent has the best mines. They will activate from further away and chase you.

Ok Homeworld 2.

I got the game two weeks ago. A friend of my recommended it because he thought I would really like it. I didn't like it too much. I am still playing Entrenchment. What you guys think about King's Bounty?

Starcraft. The battlecruisers are nice. Startrek Armada 1 & 2.

Easy. Cast Reverie and then Detonate AM. Rinse repeat. Did I mention Detonate AM damages hull directly?

So where should I had posted instead?

Starcraft? That was a good game. I hope Starcraft 2 is as good or better.

I have an idea for future expansion or games. How about being able to choose the kind of government for your colony? For example, a dictatorship gives more taxes but is much more likely to rebel. Democracy gives faster growth but less taxes. I think it will be fun to be a dictator; levy heavy taxes and spend it on something stupid.

I am at home.

How many people mentioned Desolator? See Marza dominates.

Haha. Don't play Vasari?

When playing Advent, I hot key one Iconus and disable auto cast on it. That way I have a back up Iconus. The same goes for other abilities. It's good for at least one ship to have autocast disabled.

Subjugators are still good since Advent has no other way of heal other than repair bays. Sometimes I find my fleet beat up if I don't get them. The shield can keep them alive, but I can't get hull back.
