[quote who="P4QmA1" reply="20" id="3401396"]The obvious choice for the Guardian/repulsion counter would be to micro a Vasari Kortul with weapon jamming ability toward the offending ships, jam weapons when in range and then stage a timed attack with other, faster ships. As long as no flak ships, or other more powerful cap ships were in the area, this would be a good tactic to use against Advent cruisers with spacial abilities. Now, what to use against a Vasari egg a

What LVL titan was and what race? As for titan and how to kill it? Best bet is if you drain it of AM with either Dunovs Kortuls or Radiance abilities. Depend on LVL of titan you will need more than 1 of them and have more than 1 point of ability invested. Another best bet is bombers. A lot of them. It is a fact that VL titan is hardest to kill since desperation its AOE ability doesn't need AM therefore for it bombers or corvettes are a must have. Rest if you drain the

Thx Zombie and Myfist. What I was asking I guess is if there are same types of ships as in vanila or are for instance scouts from vanila replaced with some utility ship that is supposed to play support role. I just don't want AI scouting me with what is playing role of HC in your mod [e digicons];P[/e] I guess I can DL mod and see it for myself anyway....

I used to have 2 gtx 285 in SLI over clocked. After a while my water pump died and cards were getting really hot and those things started to get left over. Even after cooling problems were fixed those artefacts were left behind until I changed graphics. With new cards those things disappeared. Weird thing is it only happened with start menu and tool bar related stuff. You might want to check if you have latest GPU drivers and use some GPU testing software.

I do not agree they are useless and in case of stalemate Advent v TEC i rather have 3 deliverance than 3 novaliths. Vasari do not come into equation here as they can back stab with their kosutras.

In competitive play a lot of vasari power in first 15 min relies in how map is set up (neutrals, choke points etc) And no picking right race it is not instant win button. There are some threads about who is strongest early mid and late game. Although some would argue that if game comes into late game and vasari are in decent shape they can become unstoppable but only if you play towards their strength and you know what other races strengths are and not walk into traps. </p

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="52" id="3390031"]Maybe we could use regional headquarters, to boost allegiance a bit on faraway planets. For Vasari you could call them "reintegration camps" (where political opponents are re-educated). For Advent "ecclesiastical court" or "inquisitional court (to put heretics to trial). For TEC perhaps "Regional high court" (to prosecute corruption). Right now, allegiance on large maps can drop to 30% on planets that are far away from your cap

Google internet speed test and it should give you links to sites in your country that will test connection for you. As for does wireless effects DL speeds. Most likely it does but how much it depends on what kind of router you have set up and how strong of a signal you are getting. You could try to get someone to set up cable connection test it out and then set up wireless and compare them. Not sure how it is in Germany but here in UK most ISP throttle customer connectio

[quote who="Sinkillr" reply="26" id="3384926"]I'm not sure what this obsession with Deliverance engines is Greg. I have only seen them used once in a 5s game (versus 1 in 10 for novas, 1 in 20 for kostura) and they have had no impact. On the other hand, just the "fear factor" that novas and kosturas cause is often enough for the opposing team to gg.[/quote] HEHE Try it.

[quote who="caffinate" reply="23" id="3384902"]...but TEC is better in early game. Early game is all about being the guy with the most money so you can actually afford a fleet. Nobody does that faster than TEC. Advent will research faster, but that doesn't mean much if you have no money to pay for the research.[/quote] ...actually unless TEC invests in 3-4 ports advent is better off civic labs wise. 1 culture center on tier 2 raised your income by 10%.
