Thank you guys for that info, that helps me alot , I'll try to pay closer attention next time. The thing that really amazed me was that his fleet killed my star base before I could reinforce it less than like 5 mins (cause my phase jump was on the farside of the galaxcy and when I landed I landed on the farside of the planet) My fully upgraded star bases usually own small fleets and hold off big fleets till I can reinforce it. Well anyway it was good to see the AI

Well I guess I that explains the 15 % but how did Advent get 57% shield mitigation and wasn't even in their culture. Well at least it APPEARED to be my culture from the color of the phase lane. I guess now all I want to know is how does Advent get 57% shield mitigation ? If someone could tell me how they get to that total just so that I know that would great. BTW Annatar11 thank you for your reply [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Hi Guys and gals Well I play only Vasari. And do not play much of Advent or Tec. (I'm addicted on phase gates sorry.) So my question is... I was in a small neutral asteriod. I believe my max shield mitigation was 15% ( for vasari with the max culture research in the civil tree...correct me if I'm wrong kinda a noob) and I was in what I thought was my culture influence. In waltzes a pretty impressive AI Adv

Awesome idea's guys!

I'm to much of a pussy [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I can barely beat the AI , how the heck can I beat you animals. I find playing human opponents forces me to play a different way other than I like. Maybe if they had a timer where you cant attack till 10-20 mins giving you time to research and build a sizable force,but I realize that rushing is part of the game and I'll just deal with it.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Saw... its just using the mine layer in battle , thats all he really said and it works pretty good (In single player mode...I havent done it in multi yet) The AI leaves it alone for the most part , it does take hits but I think its from AoE's or secondary fire. If you have 3-4 mine layers in a group you bum rush his healers and support craft which seem to take lots of damage from mines. Then start crapping out mines as fast as the cool downs return a

Sorry for 2 quick posts but I wanted to thank everyone for their input, thank guys[e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Thank you "SAW" that helps alot [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

[quote]I don't get why they are visible without scouts, honestly. It seems strange.[/quote] Exactly

[quote]Maybe put them in a neutral gravwell to slow them down so you can get to a nearby gravwell that is yours. but other than that IDK[/quote] Thats a good idea, thanks for that. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

When you have strong culture where the phase lane is your color and goes thou the enemy's planet and a little down his phase lane. My question is, do I get the culture bonus for my race in that situation when attacking his planet? Just wondering because I don't know how to tell if I'm receiving this bonus (I'm a noob at this game kinda ) . Thanks guys [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Builds way too many scouts. In all my games since I got Entrenchment, one or more AI's build like 70+ scouts thats 210 supply wasted big disadvantage there , and all because I laid like 10-20 mines. I'm not a big fan of mines BTW. I always play Vasari so I can't comment on the others. The mines in entrenchment from my experience take to much micro for my liking. Ya I know I can shif

That's a good point leejaywu , thank you for that [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

[quote]the vasari AI has started disabling all my shield frigates or all my healing frigates, or some combination plus my progenitor (actually, does anyone know which ship of theirs has this ability? i need to make it a priority target). so, i usually start off pretty good, then suddenly start dying vary hard. and retreating [/quote] That would be the subverter. But the LF's have "interference" ablity to, thats nasty. Good luck [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

[quote]anyways, no sweat, you bought it legally, you cannot play, you get a fix from a source wich does have immediate response, stardock wont be mad >.> they already have their cash[/quote] And less aggravation [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="10" id="2106973"]interesting thread. Im wondering what upgrades you all buy most often for your advent SB? and how many SBs you buy I tend to go with 3 pts in shield, 2 in lasers, 1 in hangers, 1 in meteor, 1 in disorient. I drop this on a wormhole and nothing gets by it. [/quote] 40-50 bombers with upgraded phase missle tech would reduce that to space junk in 2 mins, maybe 3

Me to. 73 scouts in my game, and it wasen't just him either. A few hard AI's did it too. They seem to do it more at mid -end gamish. I play vasari so I see them phase jumping all the time , heh takes like 30 secs for it travel there are so many. I thought I was gonna get pounded when I saw the stream heading my way, when they landed they were all scouts which he instantly phased away again, so yup , I have the same problem.[e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Anyone else noticing too many scouts being made by the AI, my last game one of them had 73 scouts!? This started happening right after I downloaded "Entrenchment". I mean if they are doing it for mine fields whatever, but that hobbles the AI. And while I'm at it mines for me are not that effective. They either go around them, or I take the next planet and now they are useless behind the lines. But I got a feeling that its the cause of the scout swarms I'm having. Not a

Thank you guys

Thank you guys , but i did have the crew points , but didnt know about the resources, but I mean I havent gotten a SINGLE UNIT yet, and there were times where I had ample resources ,,,, heh my other games the guy would just finish saying "research complete " and units fell from the sky ,,,,,so something is wacked, cause if I get no units from RA then no sence playing vasari, thats the whole reason why I play that race for the RA units and phase gates. Anyone else had harder than

I,m playing my 1st entrenchment game. I play as Vasari. My usual tactic is to get to RA ASAP. I found after getting to level 1 RA I thought I would get a few units , nothing . So I figured there was a change in the expansion pack . Went to level 2 RA , still no new units. So then I researched the whole phase tree, still nothing . Anyone know something I don't ? Bottom Line is RA is not giving me the units, and yes I researhed the whole phase tree. This is game b
