:) Go Justin!!!!!! I'll play it!!! :) -Teal
Ammunition is hard coded as far as i know. I have been in the files but can see no way to limit or refresh ammunition or fuel for that matter, let alone the foodstuffs and oxygen that i would like to put in the game. -Teal

the modability!! :) -Teal
I had an idea, but wanted to ask what others might think of this: basically i wanted to make each of the power pieces approximate each other, that is the phase king would have 4 abilities and 1 weapon at short range, but have high shields and hull and slow speed, but so would the psi and the tec. The Queen would be the most powerful, with 4 abilities, 2 weapons at long range and moderate shields and hull but fast speed. The middle pieces, the Bishop, Knight and Rook, would have 2 abilities, 1
I will have to check Tkins, but i think it is in the gameinfo gameplay.constants file. Let me check. Nope, not there, sorry. I will have to ask about myself, but if i find out before you I will let you know, okie? Take care, -Teal p.s i think the supply ships idea is good, but i can still see a "string of planets" even from another star system as still being okie to use for the unlimited ammunition. It would involve coding but no new graphics to make it
[quote]is this a joke? advent have strongest fleet but domination is crap wow a frigate every freaking 3 minutes..!! heh[/quote] I am afraid i mistook your comment and so i felt i should apologize. Sorry, i thought you were being sarcastic. But on re-reading it, i believe i read into it, something you didnt intend. Sorry, -Teal
Tunabreath thank you for the interesting and nice post. I have been under a misassumption then all these months, well, 4 months now that i have played the game, and mostly as Advent, i think i have played Tec twice and Vasari once. But i have always thought the Vasari, at least in playing against them AI, that they had a fairly superior position over the Tec and Advent. And I also assumed that the Tec strength was their ability to build quickly and cheaply, so as to counter in numbers what th
Ahhhh... fixed the mine problem, put it back where it was and used fighters/bombers instead. The minelayer i left in as well, which makes it really like 16 chess pieces plus the minelayer and the starbase. And of course all the tactical support equipment as well. So i thought as long as the other races had the same, then perhaps it is okie. But to be truer to an actual game of chess, i think i would need to eliminate those and have just the 16 pieces themselves, and strip everything els
Hmmm.... well you are entitled to your opinion, you think the advent has the strongest fleet? Interesting, I have not found that to be correct, and as for domination as crap? Well.... I dont think i need to answer that. Are you basing your opinion on your experiences? Or your emotions? If you could elaborate in a "rational" manner, then perhaps i would consider what you have to say much more readily? Simply spouting opinions as facts doesnt help. -Teal
Please understand that this is my opionion only, okie? But i play the Advent alot, and to my mind the Vasari are very very tough to beat because of their phase technology, they can phase out and not be hurt, they can jump from planet to planet without using the phase lane, they have pretty high hull and shields and their weapons are pretty heavy. The Tec have alot of numbers, they flood into a grav well and simply dominate with a large large fleet. Not always of course or in every situation,
Isn't there a "last intel..." ability tied to some research? I play advent alot, and thought there was an advent ability that gives you that last time point of view into those gravity wells. Perhaps that ability could be adapted for use by the other races? Although, to my mind the Vasari have a pretty heavy advantage to begin with. I know lots of players like them, but to my mind they are too over-powered and need to be aligned more closely with the tec and advent. I love the racial dif
Actually StikkyPixie I think your idea is very very good!! I like the idea of establishing a baseline for the ammuntion, and your idea of a continuous line back to the homeworld is a unique and interesting one, in this way, the game plays pretty much as it does now, but introduces those instances where if the line is cut, then only a limited amount of ammunition remains to those fleets that are cut off. I like it alot and it sounds balanced and makes good sense. I dont believe it will i
Ahhhh... wonderful idea, thank you very much!! I will take a look at it, it never occurred to me but you are right, it might be the AM or the cooldown. Thank you and Karma for the help!! -Teal
Problems came up with a mini dump as i finished the phase race conversion, i am getting mini-dumps with the mines reproducing over and over until my screen maxes out and i get a mini-dump. I have to figure out what it causing it of course and fix it. Or abandon the idea, which at this point i dont really want to do, so, back to figuring out how to get rid of the mines problem. Well... I will get back to it, and let everyone know how it goes. -Teal
This may have already been reported, or else it is my mod. I have altered some of the files to make a workable version of the chess mod. Made copies of the capitals renamed them, trimmed abilities used on those ships to just two. I moved the mine ability for the advent to the scout, renamed the pawn and was playing a game. I noticed fairly quickly that the mines were beginning to go off the chart, so to speak, it just kept reproducing over and over. When i zeroed in on some of the mines, beca
:) very cool, thank you for the tip!! -Teal
OMG!!! This is Isane!! Yet TOtally Cool :) Way to Go Multi !!!! -Teal
:) Ahhh.... worked last night on the finishing the advent and tech ships (pieces) i went with all capitals for the power pieces, even the King (that i originally thought would be a frigate because he is so powerless) but went with a low end capitalship anyway. I am turning up the restore rates for the King, even with low weapons and slow speed, and am running two abilities on the King plus two support abilities. But with a single weapon. The Queen has two weapons, as well as two criti
:) :) This is Great Isn't it!!
:) Haha, Happy New Year to You Too!! But it is supposed to be a "Serious" idea! Not just for sillies. But then again, not everyone thinks like me. Anyway, i hope we can pull it off and it is neat ... and "serious" :) And if not everyone thinks its the greatest thing since watermelon, then i will just have to play it myself. But then who am i going to get to play the other side? Hmmm.... Maybe the AI will be gangbusters and beat my sock
How do you make in screen shots in the post? Got it!! :) The pic of the map is here: http://gallery.filefront.com/TealBlue/ -T
Ah... SemazRalan, this is wonderful, but im not entirely sure i can open it. I just downloaded and installed Entrenchment, and i think the maps are different. But your work at this is very very much appreciated. I have the new 1.1 galaxy forge and will try it, and it sounds very very nice. I am guessing the 14 planet second and third star are the "Home Row" areas fo the "Board" and as you said lead directly to the 64 planet "Board" star. :) This is wonderful!!! Thank you t
:) Question please, how do you get your avatar to be bigger? I have the little one, one i uploaded, but its rather, well... too little to see very well. So i was thinking that with all these people who have big avatars, could well... let me know how they did it, then i could too. :) I was assuming we had to have the 50 x 50 pixels size to have the avatar show up. But lots of people seem to be well over that!! So please, pretty please tell me y
Hi, I have downloaded and began to play the new Entrenchment expansion, and there is a lot to like, however, i have had an idea in the back of my mind for some time now, and wanted to try and figure out how to do it. Basicallly, i am trying to convert the Sins ships to represent chess pieces, and to limit the number of types of ships available of course, just like in chess where we have one King, one Queen, two Bishops, two Knights and two Ro
