Being "minor" doesn't mean one doesn't have the drive to out-expand the "majors" -- think of it like history. At one time, the USA was a Minor country and a breakaway from the mighty Major empire of the British would u still say America was a minor power? i think what alot of people are saying is that minor powers become majour ppowers but are
i always thought that a demo after a game release was stupid (i always thought that designer knew game wasnt as good as they had hyped so releasing demo afterwards due to it turning people off ) and i almost never get a game where a demo is after wards ( i never buy a game with no demo and never will)
one of the games i onced played i GC1 i ended having minor race owning half the star map (conquering a couple of majour races ) and im sure when you have that much power u become a majour power by default
its not the same for me, i like to get a box when i get a game
well seein im from the UK and dont want to pay fron internation shippin, so i m having to preorder ffrom a place over here
i think if u had an actual option of blockade then u would have the effects happening on a planet aswell (which is asmost the point of a blockade)
so i think if ur a good civ then u could blockade a evil one to get them to change there ways (for example force them to end a war with someone)
also is there a Demo planed (and does anyone has a ETA)
i hope it doesnt become a tekkan gma eand they produce loads
graphics arnt that great for the PS3 (the series is starting to wear away , they should of stoped at 3)
A couple of days ago when i was just having a general thought about space strat games and there battle, And i was wondering how everyone imagines (or they think it be like) how space ships and a space battle would really be like and wonder wat game u think is the closest to this. for example ddi u always imagine it as a episode of startrek (someone some ships die with the smallest shot and others can take hundreds, and also y its always the portnassel plasma leaks from) or do u think it was more
best way to think about it instead of a tank factory is a shipyard (as in a water one and not a spce one ) a ship is going to need alot more specific and diffrent resourses (modern warfare need alot more technical equipment and the russains have always been known for doing things the simple ways) Update- was thinking about WW2 again (hehe thx ugleb) and was thinking about when US sent supplys over to UK by convoys and i thought that w
as Frogboy has said before, they have tried and it blew up in there face. also the people which are goin to play multiplayer have a higher chance of copying the game and finding ways to get round prevention methods, this also means more of a loss for stardock (remember kids, dont get pirate games)
i like to take a more simple aproach to this and imagine a blockade happenin to a a city or castle instead, and if u had a blockade one of them , then no more tanks or catapults (or any other type of military hardware) could be built. a way of making the game have more depth (without to much hassle and taking away fun ingame) is by makin resource like food and can be distribuated from system (and is transported by invisible freighters like MoO2) . This would mean that you would be able to h
... Galactic Federations? If you're really feeling like making it a challenge, program hooks into GC2, so you can play the galactic strategy game (GC2), then go down and manage the individual battles (GF). I think that would be the ultimate Strat Gamer wetdream so something like total war then (that is a great game and i dont care wat the
well if you think of ye-oldin day s, u didnt have to be right outside a wall to blockade a castle, (a gd chance of gettin shot by arrow). u could be the distrance of say behind the moon (all u need to do is amke sure no ships get past you, and most lily they will be unarmed convoys)
one way of gettin round the small fast ship factor is to have a minimum ship limit to slow down producytion, or have it ever ship u have blockading it slows down 10% or 20%
i agree with u there Ugleb except, if u are on ur last planet, it is mostly overall game over. also some ppl might rase and build a couple of ships at start of game and quickly blockade someone which would almost end them Update just had a quick go of MoO2 and the way they have done i relise is really good, if u blockade a system it also cuts of freighters which means if u block a planet with little or no food then the planets population will starve (also with GC2 if u h
but if u could build ships to counter a blockade, then a blockade would be far little tactical, for example if u knew a empire was goin to build something big like a battleship, then u could quickly blockade that planet, stop that production unitl u could get reinforcements .
well seeing the only real way your going to play the mulituplayer is if u already know the person, and games wont over all be totally resolved (person when they started losing would just give up, and the winner wouldnt have the joy of a total annilatiion) . also a company doesnt care about the actual profit value and only reall the %. so if they spend an extra 10% of time and money into multiplayer and only sell an extra 5% its not as high % (which is the thing a comapny cares about the most)
last game i can think of that added to much was MoO3 and look how that went
one extra thing i think they should of added in MoO2 was if u were veiwing your colong (to buy new buildings or ships) then if u looked up towards the sky where u could see ur starbase then u would also see ur fleet slowly orbit the planet (i know the grpahics of couldnt cope it)
u should try it, i downloaded mine from kazaa, im not recommending it, just adding some extra info
ive decided to have a quick go off MOO2 again, and relise how much i love it, for all of u that havnt played it you should get it . And on a non related topic, kazaa is a good place to download software and songs in general
well im sure extremism would only really count as extreme evil, so you could find alot of big factions grouping together just to desroy a smaller one edit-- i think if you could have the galactic council make a pact to fight someone that would be quite gd, the only disadvantage is if ur bigger then each race speratly and they do a pact on u, ur going to quickly loose your advantage
