silencer_pl Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 That was pretty 'smart' - declare war then suddenly warships take over a system Remindes me of an old AI strategy in Civ 3 and 4. If AI dosen't like you but is in peace, if he is gathering large forces at the borders this means he will attack. I am wondering what the devs were smoking when thinking about the alien races. From logical point of view most of the species in this game couldn't be inteligent enough for space travelr. Come on - inteligent gasses and they need ships ?

Jman4117 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 They also like to stop just outside of the range of my defenses and fire with the first weapons that are available. The range of the two weapons is almost exactly the same. So close that a human player can't use them in that manner and will take fire from the orbital defenses. After the next update there should be something to fix that little problem with range, however.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The <Chronomyst> are potential rivals to our fleet, but we are far more advanced and have more worlds to produce more vessels if they get out of hand. Well, that's about 4 hours of gameplay condensed down into about 60 screenshots. I pretty much took out everything but the major battles, conquests, and tech increases. Occasionally, I would show what was happening on the handful of industrial worlds, but it's starting to more and more involved so details are dropped more often than not. Next installment, I hope to get Plasmatrons on every ship I have and also find that last Frutmaka colony so we can drive them to extinction. The Nanotwirler was rather unexpected and would finally make they advanced shielding from the very beginning of the game practical. I had just researched the tech that allowed for a 1.5 unit generator, and BAM, there's the 2.5 unit Nanotwirler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much took out everything but the major battles, conquests, and tech increases. Huge work. I forgot so much about this game!

Jman4117 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yes, the map is the same for all races. And as far as having planets work on their own. There is a later game tech that allows it, but you generally get poorly built planets from it. The AI tends to just place buildings on the planet at random without paying attention to the square colors giving boosts to different buildings and the like.

Hail to the God-Emperor! https://img818.imageshack.us/img818/2273/antag325.pngWe discover a more powerful propulsion system for our vessels. The trade off is that efficiency is greatly reduced. We are going to ignore this technology. But... https://img803.imageshack.us/img803/9973/antag326.pngIt unlocks the technology for GIGANTIC hulls! We need this! The slots that ships have go something like this: 5, 10, 15, 25.

It takes a full turn, so it's not as fast as the Lane Magnetron, but it is much more efficient if you want to send a whole fleet through. https://img571.imageshack.us/img571/4681/antag396.pngAnother tech is also discovered this turn. It allows the impressive Uberlaser, a weapon that's 1.5x as powerful as the Plasmatron AND it fires TWICE per turn. Making it 3x as powerful, but at the cost a considerable range. This is a good weapon if the game lasts long enough to make effective use of it. The Plasmatron will still be used for bombarding planets due to its range. https://img861.imageshack.us/img861/6092/antag397.pngNow that we have the Uberlaser, we're going for the tech that makes it more useful. The Accutron will give it a boost in range. https://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5092/antag398.png<Cycle 993><Chronomyst> vessel as just entered <Tensoric> system. https://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9153/antag400.pngThe <Animals> come into our weapons range in an <unarmed> vessel. They are <Erased> https://img862.imageshack.us/img862/7492/antag401.pngooookay...I think I have found a bug related to Lush Growth Bombs, seems I get techs just from building Lush Growth Bombs instead of having to have 10+ outposts as I've read about before I ran into this. https://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3564/antag402.pngBut it unlocks the Recaller! This thing is awesome. It warps you back to your home system from anywhere on the map. And since our main refit stations are in the home system we get to bypass all that walking back to a refit base crap! https://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7727/antag403.pngThe <Orfa> <Homeworld> falls. https://img806.imageshack.us/img806/2802/antag405.pngOur <Gigantic> <Invasion> vessel arrives in <Tensonic> system. Our escort opens fire on the <Chronomyst> world, bringing down the defenses for <Invasion> https://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4764/antag406.png<Minion Space> <Cycle 1000> https://img812.imageshack.us/img812/9139/antag407.pngOne of our front line <Invasion> ships arrives in <Hannibal> for refits. It receives a <Recaller> and <Colonization> modules so it can take over unoccupied systems. https://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6972/antag408.png<Cycle 1001>We have signal! https://img846.imageshack.us/img846/7804/antag409.pngSup, flea. https://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6072/antag410.png<Cycle 1002>After 1 cycle, the <Marmosians> contact us. https://img27.imageshack.us/img27/931/antag411.pngA completely empty threat, we'll just laugh and ignore them for now. They are the weakest <Sentients> in the <Galaxy> https://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4833/antag415.pngTurn 1006...I definitely have a bug here, I've had about 10 techs just appear on me, mostly useless. This is one of them. It's a very inefficient engine, we'll keep the Ion Banger for now. https://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5822/antag424.pngBy turn 1014 a huge horde of free tech allows the best weapon to be researched. This weapon is awesome. About 10x the total damage per gun as the Plasmatron because it fires a whopping 3 times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 https://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7540/antag425.png<Cycle 1017>Our forces begin to push into <Chronomyst> controlled systems. This planet has a new type of shield around it that takes 9 shots to destroy. https://img831.imageshack.us/img831/5035/antag426.pngOur new warship is completed in orbit of <Homeworld> https://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4748/antag427.pngA <Lush Growth Bomb> will be set off to increase living space. https://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5134/antag430.pngYAY! Another free tech... https://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5855/antag431.png<Cycle 1018>A pair of <Chronomyst> vessels come into <Elwyssen> system to protect the planet. https://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6429/antag432.pngWe fail to bring down the shields of the planet before we are attacked by the enemy vessels. https://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8498/antag433.pngOne down, the other holds position at the <Star Lane> https://img684.imageshack.us/img684/602/antag438.pngWe get another free tech on turn 1023, and boy is it a nice one. It allows use to repair vessels in the field. Team it up with the Sacrificial Orb, Plasma Coupler and a lot of power generators and you have a beast of a ship that can transfer power and armor to friendly vessels. Just be sure that you repair the vessel that's sending armor or you'll lose the ship. https://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5664/antag439.png<Cycle 1024>Our forces arrive in the <Chronomyst> <Home System> https://img860.imageshack.us/img860/4977/antag440.pngTheir <Homeworld> is bombarded with plasma weapons. https://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6887/antag441.pngThe <Chronomyst> <Homeworld> falls to our warrior droids. https://img805.imageshack.us/img805/5557/antag442.pngConstuction of a new vessel in orbit of <Homeworld> begins. It will be used to conduct field repairs of damaged vessels. https://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3092/antag444.png<Cycle 1027>Another <Chronomyst> system falls to our forces. https://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8783/antag446.pngLooks like that last system was just enough to push us over the edge into a win. There are a few different ways to win. 2/3 Occupation, Occupying all Homeworlds, Killing everything that isn't you, or if you want a real challenge Ally Everyone. I'm not sure the last one is even possible with the antagonizer patch. The AI is just too aggressive toward the player. I've only got an allied win when I played without the patch and as the Baliflids. https://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5892/antag447.pngThe Minion Empire, Cycle 1028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 https://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9510/terminatorarmy.gif Praise thee, !! :: What is the reasoning behind that 42% score, if I may so boldly enquire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 No idea, but I can enable cheats and tweak things and see if I can figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ok, I cheated and took every planet on the map that was remaining, my score only went to 47% Then I started a new game as the Balifids and apparently I can't get anyone to ally me, but that might just be the antag patch. I might try without it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I take my guess that some point of them are research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
