Hey all, I just happened to be wandering by with this bottle of spirits and this handy box o matches. [e digicons]*_*[/e] So what are you all up 2? [e digicons]:dur:[/e]

You can lan plenty of people on the same copy, the limitation comes into play after the party is over. If player 2 and/or 3/4/5/6 (assuming you are player 1) want to keep the game, update or play online after the lan. Then you have to shell out for the serial. When playing lan, all you need is to have everybody on V1.05 and it should work just fine. One copy would be all you need in this instance. It wont even request the serial [e digicons]:dur:[/e]

Get the population increase early on and look at the results after the match. You should see a clear difference between yours and the AI(unless you play against a researcher) Research like that (also including mine upgrades and whatever race speciffic things you have) permanently increases your income rate. Basically that means that the longer you wait, the more income are losing. Not getting these early enough can cripple your mid/end game.

I will add my txt voice in the fight to release hardcodes Some things I would love to be able to change, but I would probably end up completely destroying the game mechanics. Oh well, thats what reinstall is for [e digicons]:waaaa:[/e]

Playing lan you can hook up as many copy's of the game as you can find network space for, from a single copy. To update the game to 1.12 and beyond plus the ability to play online, you must have a serial key for each copy you want to use. This is only fair to the people that created this game and anything else is just piracy.

Are you sure it was set to hard. I have all of those achievments and I played politics and non politics(same result) I also played those games on random maps, so no reason that would be the problem. Were you still allied with 1, 2 or more of the AI when it was defeated? [e digicons]-_-[/e] Oh BTW. you can get a discounted serial key if you ask support nicely and show them that you do own the game(when bought 2nd hand)

Congrads on your victory. Are you taking on 3 or 4 next. Hard isnt much different from normal. Just a little income boost to the AI. You should post some screenshots of your conquests or.. defeats for that matter.

Question : If everybody starts with and can only have exectly the same stuff. (1 frigate factory 1 cap factory ect. ect.) Doesnt that practically eliminate the possibility of playing tec in this game? Since tec ships are usually only good in quantity and not always quality. Or am I misunderstanding the setup. I prefer to play tec, but don't prefer to be automatically ownd every game Otherwise this mod sounds like dota for sins. (Will be playing this with some friend over

It does, thats why it works that way for the most part. There is some degree of "intelligent" targeting as your ships try do do the most damage to particular types of ships they are effective against, but when you have your ships or fleet selected, right clicking on an enemy wil focus fire everyone in range on that poor sod [e digicons]x_x[/e]

You can always save the game. Quit and reload, with changed player relation settings. So when you are happy that your defences are up, you can unlock teams for the rest of that game. Personally I favour the FFA style as I find the AI treats you like an AI if you play like it does. [e digicons]8|[/e] Hope thats not to cryptic

I play Tec on huge maps. After colonizing about 1/3rd of your home star. You start getting mass attcked by practically every other player on the map.(usually) The trick with Tec is to beef up your economy to the point where money and resources become irrelavant(I usually end up with 50odd creds/sec 6-10 metal and 4-8 crystal(map dependant) no matter how high my upkeep gets. Every time you increase fleet capacity, you must and I say again MUST upgrade your economy. Either by upgrading

If they look like strange random blocks and all kinds of funny things. It the devs way of saying that you really are not quilified to scratch in them. That......or its in binary form and you have to convert it before it is readable/useable [e digicons];)[/e]

You can set some specifics, but not much. Attack priority, research, infrastructure and so froth. Basically just the overall style of play the AI will try to implement. Not how it reacts.

Is there anyway at all to switch firing controlls from focus to spread fire and back. (in game) Since you can mod that setting already, would that not be an easy thing to add to the interface?

[quote]How do you move on the Z axis?[/quote] No default key is mapped to this. So go to keybindings. Find the key for z axis. I find it works best when used in conjunction with the alt key. You can then switch the axis either above or below the playing surface. Have fun!!!
