Oh has anyone besides me ever got Peacekeepers when you have only laser and stinger techs? That sucked. all my star bases and ships went boom Duh
Duh
lol Geminisama my games are long in the gianormous galaxy. And it comes up every time. And yeah I research the engine techs to get even more free space for even more weapons and defensese. It happens every tiem it seems I have had only 1 game where this one never came up. Duh
Current game in the humongus galaxy with scattered stars on challenging. Colony rush over and the Evil and Nasty Monkey men (Korath) declare war. so I start producing armed transports that are much faster than there ships. I start hunting there spore ships (one spore ship can just ruin your day) I end up taking a bunch of 7 planets and one whole system. I cannot hold these planets because the Koroth is about twice as large as me. I think about ask myself what would Patton or Chukov
or better yet take your fast fast ships to another part of the galaxy where the nasty people live and tear space up. Duh
Your right about the eyes wonder. One game that I did win with peace keeper I eventually got the black hole and doom weapons made a fleet of dreadnaughts with a speed of three and hunted there buts down with my Grendal class. I have had two peace keeper events. One they just ignored me and another they slaughtered everything in space and did it to all races. Duh
I hate you. Just imagaine going from speed 7 to 11 to speed 5 period. all ships have to be rediesigned. There needs to be some type of tech to research to repair the rips Duh.
Aenar, sorry my friend but it was orginally written in the time of Vitorian England contempoary with Kipling and his world. What your confusing is that it was read here in the US so time way after it was published. Read the book you will thank me Duh
any race can have eyes of the universe exxccccellllent. Personally I think eyes are one of the keys to winning game. I have one Question though. How many squares is the area of effect for Terror stars. Am thinking way to use them might be as mines. When the go boom do they destroy all the other little ships in the area of effect go boom too. There sorta stationary ok if they blow other ships to tiny bits they might make a good mine field too. There might be some uses for them be
Vangko how about a altarin dregin cross, poo flinging peacenik space monkeys... oops thats the French Green party.
[quote]Heh, the current game I'm in- I got sweet fluffy Koraths. Made my job a lot easier- I'll just try to cripple the Drengin with spying. [/quote] Heh one time I got the sweet bunny muffin Dregin. "MMM I could hug you for ever. Thats what we are a hugging kind of race." I dont know which is more disturbing. "How may I pleasure you today" Or Huggies for everyone. Duh
The Jagged knife and the I league sucks but there not impossible. I try to station at least one 1 troop ship on each planet. It makes taking them back much easier I usally focus on the ones with wonders and such. I pretty much play only Gigantic galaxies so the speed limit of 5 really screws those games up (and it seems to come up in every one just the time I am putting out speed 11 ships). I cant rely on JIT (just in time) builds but have to have a long tail of troops and ships following my
Well, Terror stars sound fine but what of Leibinstram (breeding room). Whose to say that after you conqured the planet the amount left over are your surviving soldiers. Terror stars sound cool but in Large plus galaxies I wonder how good they would be. it might be best to have some Cheap light fighters and a sensor boat stationed around the boarders to prevent that. It only takes just six constructors to make a terror star? Thats pretty cheap to wipe out a system. As far as the dr
Yeah that works for pre invasion. Espically letting them cook in the farms. Try using the spy for recon on what planets to capture first. Target there money plants first. "Heh Heh how is evil monkey man going to pay for all those ships." Right now Boobsalot or what ever the silly leader's name is, whats thats the Altarin leader just got assianated and they blame me. I was feeding them ships and tech early in the game to keep both flavors of evil monkeys off me. Hows that for grat
Then why would I one want to trade tech with anyone. If most races dont use my style of production or research facilities then why trade it to them. It should be a discouragement to being attacked... Isolationist rule. LOL Duh
Well personally I like playing my made up race better The Rooseveltian Empire. Super Isolationist (yes I know its wrong but its so wrong its right) with +30 in mil and civ +10% Plant Quality and + 1 luck Other than that Terrans. Duh
Nope not at all. Just a werid game. Get aload of this, I am ranked 1st in everything but approval rating and its in the 98% but I am ranked 5th of all remaining races of which there are 7. I control over 30% of the galaxy far larger than anyone else. When I capture a planet they are way behind me in development heck some are still Tereforming (nuetral rocks). Doom Weapons and Industral sectors are a tech that most races have. I guess in long games the computer has a better chance at being
Well I keep one spy on hand just to peak at the others planets to find the juiciest ones to pick off or in what order to pick off. Duh
Well, in a game Gigantic, Painful, all race slots filled, Krynn and those Dregain wannabe evil monkey men (I forget there name). Anyway the Yor turn good. Ok this is diffrent there down in the far corner away from everyone with a nice sized empire. So oh well thats nice. Up pops the Diplomancy screen. the Yor says "How may I pleasure You today." being half ass sick and with a twisted mind I can see the Yor holding up his appendages with new attachements one for pleasuring m
Personally I think democracy will evolve into something or die. Democracy works up until the masses start voting themselves bread and circuses... withness Athens. Duh
Well ya'll I cant see anyone who plays this game can be a kumbiyah Lord come by here type. This game has taught me. 1. a nice sised military is a good thing. 2. a nice sized up to date military is better. 3. Never make a peace treaty with someone who poisons your planets. 4. Altarans never last long. 5. Never make a peace treaty with someone who likes skin. 6. Never make a peace treaty with a bipedal frog. 7. Use multiple fleets whe
I had peacekeepers three times. First time I was not at war with anyone. They did not bother me I had Black hole generators at the time. Then the Korath attacked them and they wiped everthing floating in space the Korath had. The second and third times I was at war and not high enough on the teck tree to do any appricable damage to a single peace keeper ship. Both of these times they killed everthing floating in space. Basically I think they will kill if they dont think they will be
no the weirdest is him starting a war then surrendering with the froggers (Torians). I official changed his name in my game to Konehead. Well I did rename the leader of the Koroth to Evil Monkeyman petty I know but it makes me smile. Duh
I was playing along and had just got Xeno Ethics. Still had not run into the Dregin. A couple turns later there was the notice that the Dregin aligned with good. About 10 turns latter I ran into the Dregin. the Dregin started out. Pleased to meet you. I would love to snuggle with you all day. My people are a snuggly bunch, thats how we are. At this point I was drinking a DR Pepper. I had to get a new keyboard. I have never seen that happen. I was werid him asking for h
"That said, there are some sources of tension but I doubt it would spark a world war either. One is the increasing tension between Russia and the United States, but that will probably change when a new president gets elected." I dont see that happening. The Soviet collapse was deeply humiliating to them. They are going to keep throwing there weight around. I would not suprise me to see Latvia and the other Baltic countries swallowed again by Russia with the EU and the US standing by
My question is why? I mean if we can become pure engergy.. how would we, um kiss dah girl friend, drive a fast car on a curvy road, cook the best ribs or play computer games? And really who wants to live for ever? Duh
