Space Voyager Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is there a way to enforce a diplomatic solution, more in tune with the flowery feeling we so much love in this report of universal love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not really with the AI patch. It makes them all really aggressive and biased against you. I could probably change it back to normal and put that diplomatic "building" up on every planet that isn't building anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not groovy, man. As long as we all find love in the end I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 https://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1374/antag136.pngDude! We've learned some more stuff from the ancient alien ruins, man! https://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1559/antag137.pngFar out! It's like, lasers or something.. https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/552/antag138.pngIt's an uberlaser! But we're gonna stay with the rainbooows, man! https://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1673/antag139.pngScience dudes think that this new tech will allow us to build a better planetary defense, but we're going to hold off on that for a while. https://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1728/antag140.pngOk dudes, time to get to work! https://img839.imageshack.us/img839/8510/antag141.pngGroovy! https://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3094/antag143.pngAwesome! Our protester ship is ready to go out and harass the man! https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7019/antag144.pngAnd now we can smoke and fly until we get more people. https://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2994/antag145.pngNow we can change our research over to that new defense tech. This will be awesome! https://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2289/antag146.pngSeems they have that ship continuing to come our way... It comes in and takes the little planet, but we're already examined the dig site, so it's not a huge loss. https://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9947/antag147.pngThis is an example of the Endless Party. This is normally a 5 day growth rate, now it's 3. Far out! https://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5079/antag150.pngAnd we get another advanced tech! https://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4540/antag151.pngNot useful on its own. Maybe it's a prereq for something else more useful in conjuction with another tech. https://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8761/antag152.pngOur first large protest ship returns back to the home system.  https://img714.imageshack.us/img714/4035/antag153.pngWe can refit with the supplies for more hippies then send it back out to fight oppression! https://img694.imageshack.us/img694/2245/antag154.pngAwesome! We can get it ready to go again in only 15 days, man! https://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5489/antag155.pngOh high sandwich oppressor! We still have a ship guarding here, so we deal with them before they can try to attack one of the planets here. We have much better power and can follow them all the way across the system and still fire the rainbows! https://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2660/antag156.pngOur other protest ship is ready, man. Time to send it out to fight the oppressors! https://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7228/antag157.pngOk, the first giant ship is on the scene! Excellent! We make them abandon the planet when our protestors show up! https://img217.imageshack.us/img217/753/antag158.pngOur hemp powered science outstrips all of the inferior oppressive aliens by far!

Jman4117 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 https://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6959/ascend000.pngOk, man. Our old protest ship has been refitted and has fresh hippies and nugs. Time to get back out there harassing the man! https://img828.imageshack.us/img828/9914/ascend001.pngKay, we're gonna jack the max pop up here so we can have more people and not have to wait between building things... https://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5170/ascend002.pngAnd we're gonna try something new. We're gonna start givin' out free grass to all the aliens that stop by and maybe we can get them to be bros with us again and we can end all this violence, man. https://img842.imageshack.us/img842/3403/ascend003.pngOk, that big giant thing? It just arrived to protest Swaparaman tyranny in Eumenides. https://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5632/ascend004.pngWe're gonna have to wait on a ship better suited to dealing with the orbital junk first though. https://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5132/ascend005.pngOur refitted ship enters the red link seperating our home area from the rest of this dangerous universe.. https://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6990/ascend006.pngDude! You totally have harshed our buzz! https://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5403/ascend007.pngYou're gonna do it again, aren't ya, man? https://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6605/ascend008.pngNo..they just went down the red link toward Gridsor.. https://img210.imageshack.us/img210/6245/ascend009.pngRainbow Blast exits the star line from Gridsor. The Swaparaman oppressors taste the rainbow! https://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3421/ascend010.pngOur protesters land on the planet. The man totally is harsh here and kills 4 of them, man! https://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8599/ascend011.pngRainbow takes down everything but a lone missile base. It fires on our protesters, but nobody is really hurt. https://img577.imageshack.us/img577/6546/ascend012.pngOnce in orbit, we decend to the surface and get shot up by more Swamparamans. https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5564/ascend013.pngWith the system secure, we travel through the star lane to Bindacia. https://img833.imageshack.us/img833/2920/ascend014.pngBack in Gridsor, we start building a small ship just in case Rainbow can't return in time to defend the colonies. https://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3821/ascend015.pngThis is going to be leaving the system, just standing guard against attacks on our most important system: Gridsor https://img695.imageshack.us/img695/9238/ascend016.pngRainbow Blast emerges into the Bindacia system and clears the first planet of orbital debris. https://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9669/ascend017.pngLooks like the oppressors have fortified this planet, man.

We drop off some hippies in the Masticon system and they get to work. https://img560.imageshack.us/img560/1155/ascend023.pngGroovy! https://img43.imageshack.us/img43/914/ascend024.pngOk, this ship is getting obsolete, it's one of the first rainbow ships we ever made... https://img444.imageshack.us/img444/37/ascend025.pngIt has the first gen drives, ion bangers and quark express reactors... https://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8077/ascend026.pngNow it's much better! It has a new piece of tech that lets all the guns shoot twice. Meaning that this thing has 6 guns on it! https://img850.imageshack.us/img850/2327/ascend027.pngOur protesters go into the red link to go after the last of the Swaparaman oppression. https://img695.imageshack.us/img695/835/ascend029.pngAfter 8 days, our ship is refitted and ready to go back out! https://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9391/ascend031.pngThe giant ship that was used earlier for protesting needs to be restocked with hippies and nugs, this is gonna take forever! https://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8271/ascend032.pngOur rainbow ship enters the Masticon system...time to clear out the orbits of these planets, man. https://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6206/ascend033.pngWith that done, we go through the link to Unterwelt.  https://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6955/ascend034.pngThis planet is dangerous. It can destroy any ship we have. We're gonna have to do something about that.. Our rainbow fires! Eventually the guns fall and our colony ship can approach the little husk planet next to it. This has an artifact site. We want that.. https://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7881/ascend036.pngWith one of our more mature planets maxed out, we start handing out free weed to any passing aliens! https://img262.imageshack.us/img262/3448/ascend037.pngOk, our scout has found some more alien ships.. https://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3253/ascend038.pngOh man! This is BAD! We're gonna have to get out of here! Whew! Our scout tries to get around them, but they come down and want to fight...We take two hits and are shot to hell, but we make it back out through the red link...

Far Out! https://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5759/ascend042.pngWe get this thing that lets us look down star lanes or something. https://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4521/ascend044.pngThose pesky Shevar keep harassing us man.. https://img577.imageshack.us/img577/4710/ascend045.pngLuckily, they can't really hurt use. https://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4356/ascend046.pngOk, new game plan. We're going to build really fast ships back at our home systems. Then we're going to rush them to the front to be refitted in mear days! https://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5466/ascend047.pngWe're going to make two of these for now. https://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4395/ascend048.pngThat Shevar ship falls to an additional shot of rainbows! https://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1254/ascend050.pngAnd we start a 3rd ship. https://img638.imageshack.us/img638/3441/ascend052.pngWooohoo, man! https://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3604/ascend053.pngNow the science dudes want us to research some more filler techs just in case we've missed anything. https://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1719/ascend054.pngOk! We get some people out to Syntor to deal with those sandwiches! https://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2451/ascend055.pngWe lower their defenses and drop off our protesters, the planet falls! https://img6.imageshack.us/img6/78/ascend056.pngThe Swaparamans come into Bindacia.. https://img196.imageshack.us/img196/369/ascend057.pngBut the Rainbow Blast is in system and quickly stops them. https://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8634/ascend058.pngOur task force continues to move through Kambuchka space. https://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7337/ascend059.pngAnother world falls to our hippie heroes! https://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8320/ascend060.pngAnd another, this system is ours. https://img199.imageshack.us/img199/508/ascend061.pngNext stop: Menthol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeni Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Is there a way to enforce a diplomatic solution, more in tune with the flowery feeling we so much love in this report of universal love? If you really want to promote universal peace in Ascendancy, don't use the AI patch and play the Balifids - the last time i played them, i never colonized or invaded any planets, i just tried to make everyone ally to everyone else (it took 3000 odd turns..) It's just a coincidence that they look like rats with forked tongues  P.S. - if i was going to play tree-huggers, i might have picked Arbryls, since they are trees, even if their power isn't nearly as useful as Gaiafication.

Jman4117 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I tried changing over to the unpatched executable to see if I could get peace, but everyone still wants war even with several planets building alien hospitality. Only people not wanting to kill me are the Oculons. I hope to eventually ally them, but everyone else seems out for blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman4117 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Haven't played this one in over 2 years I believe. The AI isn't very challenging, just super aggressive. Once you get to the point of having the plasma cannon it just gets super boring and tedious as you trample over everyone and mostly micro manage your planets since the AI can't even do that right. If I start up a similar game it'd probably be MoO2 since that's just basically sci/prod/ag sliders to get you what you want so you don't have to just micro everything, and the AI isn't garbage in it.
