I like vasari You get yourself an egg and about 10 assialiants you fire nano-dissambler on their cap ship. and fire everything you got at that ship. Their armor is reduced by 2/4/6 and thare are getting eatten at a rate or 30 hits per second straight to the hull. With that phase missiles from the assialianst skipping through the shields you will kill any cap ship in less than a minute and it will only take two firings of your nano-dissamb

Speaking of the empire tree. sometimes it gets full, and then starts jumping up and down, as fleets enter and exit phase space. This can make micoring in the tree very hard sometimes. I will often want to apply an ability and the target has 8 other ships around it so I target into the empire tree. But when it jumps around bad things can happen. Is there any way to freeze the empire tree so it won't move one me.

[quote who="koda0" reply="23" id="2115339"]I don't think there's actual TEC hate on multiplayer, i just think that the people who chose random are forced, by some pre-set equation to become a "minority" team (a.k.a. Vasari or Advent) so the TEC players have a considerable challenge, given their smaller number. As for fleets, I'll have to try out mass Hoshiko support, normally I have a Hoshiko for every Percheron, but I guess time to change... in the mid-late game,

When I play vasari I do this for my first 4 moves. (quick start) (within the first 30 seconds) Build my cap ship (egg, nano-dissambler rules all!) Send out my scouts if I have any at that moments. Build a mil lab. research Assialants..... after that I get 3 - 7 assialants and go kicking people that are busy build civ labs.... The hard part is to not get to caried away with this and get your civ's up for mid game. it take 4 civ labs for a trade p

[quote who="NeoWanderer" reply="3" id="2093501"] Quoting CenturionJixra, reply 2 You should play it in single player for about two weeks. snip[/quote] Another good indication of "when you are ready" for multiplayer is when you can beat a hard opponent 1v1. or even better 2 hard opponents in a 1v1v1 but by all means feel free to dive right in when you want.

[quote who="Astax" reply="1" id="2076595"]You get the tech that allwos you to build your starbases faster,t hen you build a starbase in his gravity well Also Nano-Disassembler is probably my favorite anti-Starbase ability Combined with Subverter's lower shield mitigation it will make short work of the base [/quote] I totally disagree with the first part. I actually tried this last night, he had a pumped up starbase I put in a vasari starbase, pumped it up

The Egg Evacuator is the first cap ships I get as vasari But what should the second one be. for short/medium or long games? The Planet Bomber? the Carrier, the support or battleships? I like the planet bombers disintrigate ability. that eats starbases. What do youall do?

As far as trade goes, it was my understanding that the money from trade only came from those tiny trade ships coming and departing from the trade posts themselves. And that if you sank other peoples trade ships, they lost that income and you got a percentage of it. I recently put an vasari starbase into the sun's gravity well, it went to the other side of the sun, where all the trade ships were passing for my enemies, and sat there and ate all the money.... yum... preve

[quote who="Shadow1412" reply="3" id="2077087"]Will playing against AI help to get better in multiplayer?[/quote] in the beginning but the hardest ai levels aren't as good as reasonalby good players. It's a good place to start though. after about 20 games agains the computer time to get your feet wet with real hu-mans.

[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="10" id="2056270"] And I didn't know Ethiopians have a dish. At all.. The funny thing is, you're right. Usually you just use your hands and eat the raw meat/vegatable mix from the serving "platter".[/quote] and yes it's delicious!

If you mouse over a the box that display how much money you have, you get a breakdown of all the income you have.

I had some minidumps with Entrenchment beta 2 and beta 3, which I expcected. But last night in a MP ironclad game I had sins1.14 minidump. I thought sins was more stable than this. Anyone else getting 1.14 to minidump?

Can't you use other personalities to test strange strategies? I like stats because it gives me a sense of how well I fit with the gamers I'm playing with So yeah stats Yeah entrenchment I want to see more people playing entrenchment cuz it's always empty there... :(

I say dive right in a play as many games as you can. Don't go into games that say No Noobs but I find even the best people will play large team games with noobs specially if they spread them out evenly You learn lots by playing with good people, and most of them are polite. Only once did someone I was playing with be rude. Most of the best players don't need to be a**holes so they aren't

One more idea, since this is really a 2D game, why not make an extreme varient (not for this version) about the war in the pacific between Japan and US. it's not that far outside what's already going on in the game.... Just have islands be the planets, the lanes between be between the islands and change the names of the ships..... it's not perfect. but and idea.

Sabatoge. I was reading about sabatoging a capital ship, to make its constuction take longer. How about a bobby trap, so when a capital ship, fires it's first ability, it backfires on them. Or maybe when they do something the 'n'th time. Like the 10'th time they fire their forward cannons, it blows up and causes damage to the ship. This could also work by infecting repair bays, so the perfectly working cap ship, suddenly get

I can't tell you how many times I have found someone 1 or 2 jumps away and they upgrade their HW pop. So if someone else is 2-3 jumps away when do you upgrade your HW pop?? After scouting so your sure there will be now rush to you? after you build up a bunch of cobolts/LRF's so your safe? When you decide not to rush? (and in the case of TEC) when you decide to play TEC so you can't rush... Just wondering... &nbsp
