I, Moomew, am seeking a slav...*clears throat" Vassal race, preferably with opposable thumbs, to further my plans for becoming supreme ruler of all known space. My previous conquests include (but are not limited to): doors, toiletry, rugs, mice, and a feeble-minded race known as Hoomans. In exchange for receiving me as God-Emperor of your race, I will require legions of slave soldiers to conquer this sector of the galaxy. You know you want to..*purrrrr*. Bidding starts...NOW. Edit: Since he always seems to forget these sorts of things when he goes off and does these kinds of things on his own..here's a list of the available races to choose from: https://aliens.wikia....endancy's_Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 HHHMMMMMM... Nimbuloids seem interesting, we could probably exist anywhere. Than again, Kambuchka look as tasty as a sandwich. Meh, I vote for Arbryls, they remind me of me drinking too much. And Ents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman4117 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Arbryls: What can I use you for other than for novel living perches and shade? Minions: I demand canned tuna still exist if I am to lead the the destruction of all flesh. In the event of a tie for awesomeness I shall require a thumbed being for coin flip.

Space Voyager Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Arbryls: What can I use you for other than for novel living perches and shade? Well, in the case of civil revolt or interspecies wars there will be plenty of cheap wood available. How much of an impact does race selection have really?

Jman4117 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Each species gets a special ability that is either static, or comes up every 60-90ish turns. Everything else is the same. In the case of the Arbryls, they can block all their star lanes when their special ability comes up. With the Minions, they ignore surface shields when attacking, so they only need 1 invasion module per planet. https://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=95359There's a detailed explanation of each one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hooman! Flip pls! *TAILS* I, Moomew, High Infiltrator Unit of the Minions shall assimilate you all! DEATH TO ALL FLESH!! *OOC Explanation of the game*Ascendancy was a game released by Logic Factory about 15 years ago. It runs at 640x480 resolution which is very awesome for the time but the game is famous for having a complete rubbish AI out of the box, which really hurt it in the beginning. Fortunately they later released an AI patch that we will be using in this AAR. It doesn't make the AI much smarter, but it does however make it cheat more and become much more aggressive against the human player. By the end of the game, we will probably have every race at war with us at the same time and very few side wars going on between alien races. https://img683.imageshack.us/img683/113/antag000.pngThis is the title screen where you can start/save/load a game, play the intro video or quit back to dos. https://img18.imageshack.us/img18/994/antag001.pngThis is the default screen when you start a new game, all settings can be changed from here when you start. Minions are already selected because they are at the top of the list, so let's change some settings around to make the game more interesting. https://img862.imageshack.us/img862/2656/antag002.pngWe're going to choose the next higher density of star systems, increase to the max number of species and keep it on neutral since we have an aggressive patch running anyway and I'd like other options than war to possibly open for demonstration, and blue, cause the Minions are blue and I like blue!

Jman4117 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 https://img824.imageshack.us/img824/4459/antag012.png<Cycle 30>Our first production facility adds to our capacity. https://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2610/antag013.pngWe return to Homeworld. In order to increase in population we require an archaic piece of technology known as an "agriplot". https://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5581/antag014.png<Cycle 45> We complete the agriplot, but have no free worker units to apply to the next construction. Efficiency must increase. https://img850.imageshack.us/img850/8489/antag015.pngAfter 4 cycles. Another worker is created. https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/4161/antag016.pngFaster population grown is still needed. More agriplots are needed before we continue. https://img861.imageshack.us/img861/557/antag018.pngThe agriplot completes construction and we have a new unit ready to be used for other tasks. This one shall build a laboratory to allow our research to progress. https://img815.imageshack.us/img815/879/antag019.pngYes, yes my machines. We have completed the laboratory and we have a new unit ready. Efficient. We shall prevail. https://img863.imageshack.us/img863/1236/antag020.pngMore laboratories! To the stars my minions! *maniacal mechanical cat cackle* https://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9884/antag021.pngExcellent, excellent! We have two new units. We can now build other structures since we are ahead. https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2389/antag022.pngYeeeessss, we continue to have population expanding faster than we are building. https://img577.imageshack.us/img577/4832/antag023.pngOur first research project will be done in 13 cycles. We can then focus on shipbuilding technologies to take the Minions to the stars! https://img683.imageshack.us/img683/8261/antag024.pngExcellent, we have the technology to construct factories in space in only 132 cycles. We will soon build one after our surface industry increases. https://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9176/antag025.pngEngines! A ship needs efficient engines. Chemical reactions do not produce the needed efficiency to propel us. https://img834.imageshack.us/img834/1254/antag026.pngAnother factory on the surface. Still not enough. But we have time before the expert systems sift through the plethora of ideas that our science AIs are giving them for testing. https://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2603/antag027.pngThis factory is to be built on a red square. It is a designation for areas that are high in minerals used in structural processes. This means that this factory will be more productive. https://img607.imageshack.us/img607/9508/antag028.pngAnd another on a red square. Our production base expands rapidly. Death to all flesh! https://img713.imageshack.us/img713/2898/antag029.pngAnother laboratory is to be built on this square, it will further speed our research. https://img860.imageshack.us/img860/8425/antag030.pngOur researchers discover how to move through space without simple chemical rockets. With this technology we will be able to build basic drive systems for interplanetary vessels to colonize this star system. https://img801.imageshack.us/img801/8844/antag031.pngIn order to make use of this technology, we require more technologies to allow for ship hulls and efficient power sources. https://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9281/antag032.pngSince we are loosing efficiency in population growth, more agriplots are needed before we can build more factories to expand our industrial might again. https://img860.imageshack.us/img860/2614/antag033.png<Cycle 176>We have the ability to make a basic interplanetary craft. https://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4281/antag034.pngTo make this new ship design useful we must learn how to tame alien planets. How life may effect us, how we may exploit the building blocks so that we may colonize. https://img828.imageshack.us/img828/1962/antag035.pngTwo more agriplots are built and a factory is placed on the red square. One more on the other square and we shall build our orbital factory over Homeworld. With it, we shall send forth legions of progressively more advanced vessels to destroy all sentients in this sector of the galaxy!

kyrub Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Could you please post a savegame from your game, so that I can look through the game setting in more detail? It's not that the screens are not informative, but I am a total novice in Ascendancy. It looks neat. But the game will get pretty overwhelming once you conquer a lot of colonies, am I right?

Jman4117 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yes, after you start running into enemies things really slow down quite a bit. With the larger worlds that take forever to fill with buildings, micromanagement can be a nightmare. The AI in the game is poor when it comes to building planets, so automation is out of the question. Before I ran into the Frutmaka, I had I think 13 planets, with about 5 more waiting to be colonized in my space. After I start colonizing in choke points and conquering everyone's planets, I could possibly have over 200. Don't worry, I'm not going to post all of them, that would be insane. I'm already cutting out over half of what happens outside of the Minions Home System as is Ok, so, save game. There doesn't appear to be a way to attach in this sub-forum, so I'll just upload it somewhere and link it: https://www.filedropper.com/saves I saved on the first turn and then after each session, so there are 5 saves in a zip file. Unzip into the main Ascendancy directory and they should show up as 1-5 on the load game list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman4117 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Our intelligence reaches for the stars. We have found <Sentient> organics and are destroying them. New vessels are being constructed above <Homeworld>. They will carry forth our assault force. <Execute> <Core Directive 0001> <Eradicate>/<Maim>/<KILL>. https://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9947/antag147.png<Science World> receives its first <Laboratory>. Our science must continue to advance if we are to maintain superiority. https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4996/antag148.png<Cycle 506>We have detected signals from advanced life. https://img863.imageshack.us/img863/740/antag149.pngGreetings, intelligent gases. https://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5079/antag150.png<Sentients> known as <Nimbuloids> control this system. We will continue to explore to discovery the extent of <Nimbuloid> and <Frutmaka> space. https://img855.imageshack.us/img855/8761/antag152.pngA gigantic Eden world is <COLONIZED> in our space. It will produce great prosperity and speed the growth of population. https://img687.imageshack.us/img687/4035/antag153.pngOur other vessel meanwhile emerges from a Red Link into the Wattsenfax System. 4 Passable worlds are present here and will be fortified at the earliest possibility. https://img810.imageshack.us/img810/2245/antag154.pngWe are ready to excavate the ruins on the first planet we took from <Frutmaka>. May it yield great knowledge. https://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5489/antag155.pngThis world is running out of space, we must build <Outposts> until improved technology makes them obsolete. https://img695.imageshack.us/img695/2660/antag156.png<Cycle 525>We unlock ancient technology. Sadly, it's not very useful in our <War> against <Sentients> https://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7228/antag157.pngWe discover a new system. They is a <Frutmaka> world with an <Orbital Shield>. https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/753/antag158.pngWe must disable the shield with sustained weapons fire before we can enter orbit and <Invade> https://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3797/antag159.pngOur other exploration vessel has found an uninhabited system. https://img8.imageshack.us/img8/968/antag160.pngThis system contains the best world yet discovered. A gigantic <Cornucopia> world. https://img806.imageshack.us/img806/9930/antag161.pngWe defeat the <Orbital Shield> in 4 cycles and deploy our warrior droids on planet. The planet is quickly taken from the <Sentients> https://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4052/antag162.pngThe first world taken yields knowledge. https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/441/antag163.pngThis technology make be useful for travel. https://img545.imageshack.us/img545/9440/antag164.pngThe <Lane Magnetron> allows our vessels to destabilize star lanes, allowing them to traverse the vast distances in less than a cycle provided the ship as enough power. It is a one time use equipment, the power unleashed destroys the mechanisms. https://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7272/antag165.pngA small gunship will be built in orbit of <Homeworld>. It has no interstellar drive, but 2 weapons and enough power to traverse the system in a cycle. https://img541.imageshack.us/img541/9572/antag166.png<Cycle 540>Our vessel discovers another unclaimed system. We will continue to seek out <Sentients> https://img802.imageshack.us/img802/4936/antag167.pngDuring the same cycle our attack probe discovers another <Frutmaka> controlled system. https://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1397/antag168.pngWe move to another star lane while staying our of range of the orbital defenses. https://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1997/antag169.pngAnother excavation is started on an otherwise useless world. https://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2907/antag170.pngWe <COLONIZE> the final system in our space. Now, we shall take from <Frutmaka> *evil mechanical cat cackle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 https://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6742/antag172.png<Cycle 548>Another world yields most impressive knowledge! https://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2487/antag173.pngIdle worlds can now convert their industrial output to science. This is at rate 1/2 of the industry rating. https://img121.imageshack.us/img121/756/antag174.pngA world without free population uses this technique to be useful. https://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2397/antag175.png<Cycle 549>The Red Link in <Home System> flashes brightly as a <Frutmaka> vessel exits. https://img837.imageshack.us/img837/8320/antag176.pngIt slowly advances on one of our minor worlds. The orbital missile batteries fire, damaging it...but not enough. The vessel enters orbit and <Invades>. Our other planets are too far away to lend assistance. https://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2036/antag177.pngOur scout vessel discovers another unoccupied <Cornucopia> world. It is imperative that it be <COLONIZED> https://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7404/antag178.pngA new vessel is constructed to continue our <Invasion> of <Frutmaka> space. https://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8753/antag179.png<Cycle 553>New technology is researched. We can now build improved <Laboratories> on our worlds. https://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2426/antag180.pngWe must research Gravimetrics so that we can repair and refit <Obsolete> vessels. https://img218.imageshack.us/img218/4904/antag181.png<Cycle 555>We arrive in the <Angol> system. https://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5968/antag182.png<Cycle 556><Frutmaka> arrive in the <Angol> system. https://img109.imageshack.us/img109/5316/antag183.pngOur vessel opens fire. The <Frutmaka> vessel begins to retreat with light damage. We retreat through the star lane that <Frutmaka> came from in search of more worlds. https://img862.imageshack.us/img862/5937/antag184.png<Cycle 570>We gain lost technology from an otherwise useless world. https://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4003/antag186ywz.pngA weak, useless weapon! https://img641.imageshack.us/img641/4236/antag187.png<Science World> begins construction of an advanced <Laboratory> https://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3673/antag188.pngOur scout forces in <Frutmaka> space secure the <Highbeam> system until <Reinforcements> arrive. https://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5075/antag189.png<Cycle 587>Our heavy industry world builds a <Shipyard> in orbit. https://img27.imageshack.us/img27/695/antag190.png<Cycle 596>We gain new technology from our excavations. https://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8115/antag191.pngAnother seemingly useless technology. https://img848.imageshack.us/img848/6696/antag192.pngAnother <Invasion> vessel is laid down in orbit. https://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8379/antag193.png<Cycle 607>We now have the ability to refit our vessels. <Orbital Docks> will be constructed over industrial worlds and our world in <Highbeam> system.

silencer_pl Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I am wondering has the rapid advancement have any negative effects ?I know that since Civiliaztion 3, rapid expansion had negative effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 It can, yes. I sent that 3 gun ship through the Red Link then started another one in the home system. The enemy vessel showed up about 2 days before it was done and took over one of the minor planets. I never used that ship I sent through in a timely fashion and would have been better off leaving it at home to defend. But for the most part, if you have scout ships it's best to get them as far out as possible so that you can know where everyone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 https://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1747/antag197on.png<Cycle 618><Orbital Docks> are being constructed over <Homeworld> and in <Highbeam> system. With them we can rapidly repair and refit existing vessels. https://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9585/antag198.png<Cycle 628>Our <Homeworld> sentry will undergo repairs from a previous battle with <Frutmaka>. This will only take 2 days due to our superior production. https://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6131/antag201.png<Cycle 629>We discover <Molecular Explosives>. This makes available a new technology that will allow for improved <Factories> https://img585.imageshack.us/img585/453/antag202.png<Cycle 630>Our vessel completes refits. https://img809.imageshack.us/img809/685/antag203.png<Cycle 636>A new ship has been completed. It has <Invasion> modules, but will be refitted into a gunship at <Homeworld> as needs have changed due to unpredictable <Sentients> https://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5030/antag204.png<Cycle 640>Our only armed vessel in <Highbeam> system defends our most important world in <Frutmaka> space. https://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4282/antag205.png<Cycle 641>The <Frutmaka> vessel uses nearly all of its power closing with our vessel. Our vessel <Eradicates> the <Frutmaka> with weapons fire. https://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3194/antag206.png<Cycle 648>The gate ripples and flashes as our vessel drops back into normal space. https://img546.imageshack.us/img546/2355/antag207.pngWe enter orbit of the <Frutmaka> colony one cycle before its orbit shields would prevent our unarmed vessel from taking the planet. The <Frutmaka> in this system have been <Erased> https://img688.imageshack.us/img688/4828/antag209.png<Cycle 653>Our <Orbital Docks> in <Highbeam> are completed and we refit our first interstellar craft. It is given 3 modern weapons and has enough power to fire and maneuver. https://img803.imageshack.us/img803/4389/antag210.pngOur new <Invasion> vessel enters orbit of <Homeworld>. It has its <Invasion> modules replaced with weapons and reactors, and a lane magnetron that will allow it to traverse the Red Link to <Frutmaka> space instantly. https://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3853/antag211.pngAfter two cycles our vessel leaves orbit and moves to the red link. After arriving, it waits for its power to build back then jumps through the red link using nearly all power. https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2015/antag213.png<Cycle 666>A <Frutmaka> vessel enters the <Highbeam> system. This vessel is unarmed and flees from our defense fleet in system. Our vessels manage to bring it below 50% structural integrity before it colonizes one of the other worlds in <Highbeam> system before retreating through another blue link. https://img30.imageshack.us/img30/3606/antag214.png<Cycle 667>Our <Invasion> ship arrives and moves into orbit of the new colony of <Frutmaka> https://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4835/antag216.pngWe take the planet and it appears that in one cycle they have constructed a <Factory>. Is this a technology unknown to us, or is it subterfuge? https://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1145/antag217.png<Cycle 670>Another vessel enters <Highbeam> system. Our vessels are in position to intercept. https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9775/antag218.pngIt fires once on the <Invasion> vessel then moves into weapons range of the gunship that opens fire with its weapons. The <Frutmaka has used all of its power so we wait for one cycle. https://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9909/antag219.pngWe fire once, the <Frutmaka> retreats and we follow. https://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4808/antag221.pngWe move into range and finish the <Frutmaka> vessel. https://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6968/antag222.pngThe heavily damaged <Invasion> ship returns to our planet and the other vessels wait on another <Frutmaka> vessel to come into the system. https://img151.imageshack.us/img151/9996/antag224.png<Cycle 680>The colony ship that retreated before returns and we hunt them down and kill them. https://img685.imageshack.us/img685/8497/antag226.png<Minion Space> as of <Cycle 681>. We pursue the <Sentient><Animals> and <KILL> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
