Mr. Haze

I seem to be in the minority who actually like how big the Discord is.

AI Titan with no fleet support, Vatticson? Also a level 3 Titan is hardly high level.

That beam from the halo was the Unity Mass Beam, it's an ability.

[quote who="MayallCommunion" reply="8" id="3122132"] ust remember I said nothing about balance with the new caps. Just that they got the nice new mechanics. What exactly do you get on the discord for the early game? Max first what?[/quote] Fracture and Lethargy, I see very little point in putting points into Scream honestly unless you need a quick fire interrupt on a channeling ability (ie. Marza Barrage), in which case one point would suffice. The synergy between the Pro

Insurgency is researchable by TEC Loyalists as well as TEC Rebels, it's old tech, like, original Sins old.

Truce Amongst Rogues. As has been said, it's possible that an enemy TEC player researched Insurgency, which causes rebels to randomly stage revolts on enemy worlds. Also I'm going to note I don't think I've ever experienced insurgents popping up on my worlds when TEC allies have had the tech in previous games, not sure about Rebellion.

Yeah see the Advent Rebels haven't really changed all that much, they've gone from "kill the TEC, assimilate everything else" to "kill whatever made us want to kill the TEC, we're supposed to be PACIFISTS, dammit! Now you there, go bomb that planet."

[quote who="Pat_22_" reply="14" id="3122473"] Only three? I usually have at least a dozen. Their shields mixed with progenitors are great for keeping your fleet's shields up, and Repulsion has several tactical uses.[/quote] I'd rather spend that fleet capacity on blowing the enemy to hell, what's dead can't shoot back, after all. The Guardians are a buffer, and an excellent one at that, but if you're keeping everyone in a tight fo

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="11" id="3122459"] Quoting LupusVir, reply 7I have not had the chance to try the eradica yet, but I don'y like the sound of the purification ability. I have carefully made fleets, and it does not help to have them destroyed by my own titan. You're not thinking outside the box with it. There's ways to use that ability without damaging your main fleet. It will get a lot easier once Return of the Fallen and that other tech that duplicates d

The most hilarious thing about that ability is that I think it applies to enemy scouts. Every time one passes through your territory, bam, income increase. I actually played around with the idea of possibly suggesting that ability be moved down in the tech tree, a lot of players colonize before finishing off the miltia, meaning that it would give Advent Rebels an (admittedly temporary) early game eco boost from expulsion activations via militia and scouts. Not sure how well th

[quote who="MayallCommunion" reply="6" id="3122413"] Quoting GoaFan77, reply 5 Quoting Sonntagshut, reply 4Eradica has a strange skill setup with an ultimate only woking when the ships dead.... Well in ship Combat the Concordia is useless as well, but I do agree that the Concordia's is more useful. I do like the Eradica more but it does need a fleet for it to heal and boost its damage. Concordia would probably will 1v1 with unity mass. <br

We have about 5 threads about this already on the front page.

[quote who="Pat_22_" reply="49" id="3122232"]Vasari collect Nano-probes from the debris of their destroyed Titan and download all of the combat data into the new Titan and the crew.[/quote] Or they just clone the crew. They do that, you know.

An Advent Titan wouldn't be in a 1v1 situation anyway, they're fleet ships, like Titans should be.

Was the level 6 a Discord by any chance? From what I've seen the empire tree seems to be prioritizing the Discord over the other capitals and putting it ahead of them, regardless of level.

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="4" id="3122160"]It has to do with the sacrificing of ships and populace in order to do massiv damage to your enemies. Al Quaida "offers" people as well in order to terrorize others (basically they are just extremely fanatic believers and are convinced they will be awared in heaven for their sacrifice).[/quote] Well yeah, but they're Necromancers, death is actually nothing to them, and they know it. It's less fanaticism and more... flaunting t

Well there's the phase missile block that was added to their culture effects.

So I was screwing around last night with some friends who wanted to comp stomp, when we noticed something. As you can see here, our last intel showed this planet as unclaimed. However, if we zoom in... Well hey there! Looks l

1. It's actually been changed, in particular the phase jump starting animations, they're kind of like "doors" opening, the rest of the effect is touched up a bit well. They were right to keep the Advent phase effects close to the original, it fits them. 2. Notifications do seem finicky, sometimes they play, others they don't. 3. Did you have vision of those planets?

Your ships gain, I believe, a 25% damage boost when in a planet that's been hit by a Deliverance Engine. You can also combo Deliverance culture with Eyes of the Converted to let you see huge portions of enemy territory. Finally, if you had 6, you were better off cycling them on single targets, that would have kept the culture there long enough to overthrow the planet. However, yes, the Deliverance Engine has always been a joke compared to the other two, especially

1. Personal taste. 2. The only Titans with burst area damage are the Ragnarov, which will usually just spam Snipe, and the Eradica, which's AOE isn't even that strong by itself, it only becomes powerful with other abilities like Malice and Fracture thrown in. As for Disruption Matrix... I really dislike the dot that comes with it, honestly, it's an immensely powerful ability even without it instantly killing Corvettes and crippling frigate fleets. 3. Not al

I kind of like the idea, but the skill would need to be altered since it just boosts nearby ship's fighters, not the fighters themselves. Also don't forget Lethargy-Vertigo.

[quote who="Teun-A-Roonius" reply="1" id="3121754"]Pretty much. I would rather describe the Advent Rebels like a zombie horde but Al Quaida is also well thought of lol.[/quote] The Al Qaeda connection is lost on me.

The code is not "nested in the program", matches can be reloaded when everyone has the relevent save data, if even one person doesn't have the right data, the game desyncs horrendously or just won't even start. The issue that arises is this: "How is the reconnecting player going to receive all the updated data on what he missed?"
