Lol... ah, ok, well that makes me feel better. I just didn't realize that's how it worked. Thanks for pointing that out... maybe I should sleep better before making a post without thinking first [e digicons]:-"[/e] My apologies.
Alright, this is a bit ridiculous. I started playing a 2v2v2v2... my AI ally and I are doing pretty well as we start things off. So, I start getting attacked by another force and I ask my ally to attack them... Oh, but he won't attack an ally! What the?? As we are on the same team, then, essentially, we are the same unit. If my ally makes a pact with another side, then that side also must make a pact with me. I mean come on, we are on the
Not sure if this is a bug or part of the game that I am not aware about (as I just bought the game recently). I had ship vision with one of the TEC AIs and everything was fine; I could see all of his ships. All of a sudden, his huge armada just disappeared. I looked everywhere and could not find it. Suddenly, after 1 minute or so, it reappears around his planet... So, figured I'd mention it and either get corrected that this is part of the game or realize that
Ah, that's good to know. I wonder if the connection would be good enough between China and Australia...
Just looking to see if there's anyone playing on this side of the world. I did notice the Singapore post but not sure how many would still be playing. Would be nice to organize some weekend games. I presently can't host, though, as I am going through a wireless.
Hey all, Just bought this game about a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it. My apologies if these have been asked elsewhere but I briefed through the manual and the forum and didn't not see them. Here are my questions: 1) What does this auto-fleet ability do? I have enabled it on ships but can't figure out what it is doing. I was hoping that they would join one of my "ctl" groups but that doesn't seem to be the case. 2) Is there a way
I'm in Beijing and would happily join you all when you're playing. Just PM me and let me know when you all play.
Iztok do you know why the battleship regenerated to 17 HP?
Alright, I'm pretty sure this is a bug. I can include more information if needed. I'm on the fourth mission of the Dark Avatar campaign. A dread lord battleship comes and starts attacking my homeworlds. I get together a small fleet of 5 small ships to go attack him... Well, he takes the bait and comes right next to my group. The next turn I attack but only 4 of my ships attack, the 5th does not. He, not surprisingly, destroys all of my ships in his attack
I'm sure it's already been said but HOMM 5 was a huge letdown for one major reason - the AI. When I think about it, I don't think I've ever been as disappointed with an AI as with HOMM 5. And what makes it worse is that, outside of this, the game was well made. I gave it a good 6 months of my time waiting for a patch to fix it but, unfortunately, none appeared to fix the AI. Very disappointing.... sold the game on EBay afterwards.
Yes, SC2 rocked! That game even appeals to non-gamers... I have a friend who still loves it and doesn't play games, outside of this one. Although he only liked the combat aspect. The combat was great fun - not too difficult but required skill to get better at. Every ship had strengths and weaknesses...
Well, yeah, first off, you can't stop piracy. It's not possible, period. People who are going to steal are going to steal no matter what you do to try to prevent it. Shadow has a perfect example with DRM. Companies make this high tech solution that only annoys consumers and does nothing to stop piracy. Some consumers won't even buy these games because of it... they are in the minority but they are out there. I think your #1 is a good point but really has
[quote who="florianh" reply="3" id="1950198"]I started a game anew with the same settings as mentioned in the OP. I spended as much as i could in weapon and defense research, and more factories on planets. The entire time in the game i was number one on the "Most powerful civilizations" list, and i kicked some Drengin, Altarian and Arcean ass and won the game My treasury never reached 30k let alone 150k. Economy was good enough for upholding the military and research.<b
Yeah, the dreadlords can be tricky. One thing you have to keep in mind is that you will lose a lot of ships in the beginning before your tech gets high enough that you can start turning the tide. I didn't even bother with setting up starbases, except for the ones they give you, since they would just get destroyed. By the time I was powerful enough to defend them, there really was little need to even build them. In the beginning, just try to keep your planets defended
From what I have heard here, it sounds like you are investing too much in your economy. The fact that you have 150K proves that... My guess, from what you have said, is that you have built too many economical structures and not enough factories and research facilities. Except in the beginning, when you need to buy colony ships so that you can expand quickly, you should rarely be buying structures or ships. You should only be buying them if you are in a real pinch as
Ah, ok, I really do get it now! The wiki was throwing me off by saying that every shot was calculated... I was thinking that when I saw a hit, it was for one weapon, and that's why I was so confused. And so I was trying to work with that and the numbers were making no sense. I guess my exams this week means my head just wasn't as clear hehe Now that I understand what is going on, I am going to stop calculating so much and go back to just enjoying the game... after my
[quote who="Iztok Bitenc" reply="6" id="1933143"] That may be the weapons bonus at work, with the Luck ability adding and insult. If your enamy has weapons +50% and his ship has 5 plasmas (10 total attack), the shot from the first plasma gun will not be 0-2, but likely 0-7 (2 + (bonus 50% of 10 = 5)). If we add into that calculation the Luck, then the first shot could be even from 1.75 (25% of attack 7) to 7. BR, Iztok[/quote]
Alright, still a bit confused about one thing... why am I consistently seeing very high attack values, especially from my enemy, in combat. The wiki had mentioned that sometimes you will see a high attack number due to bonuses but why am I seeing it all the time? I don't like it when I see 0, 6, 11, 11 and such sequences when the enemy has plasma level 2 beams [e digicons]8C[/e] I'm also getting the impression that researching another line of weapons in order to combat s
Sole, Thanks, I am finally understanding now what is going on. His high defense would explain why tech 3 lasers could work better than tech 2 guns. No more frustration :-)
Ok, well I fortunately had an autosave of this game right before the battle and had a nearly identical fleet nearby whom I thought would be inferior since they had beam weapons rather than gun weapons. So, I guess I need a clarification about how the mechanics of this game works because it does not work as I had thought. And, if this is covered somewhere else, I appologize. You can just refer me there :-) In the battle, he had 5 ships - 2 frigates,
Hey all, Just got back into GalCiv recently and have just installed Dark Avatar. Had a good game going but now I just stopped and am very frustrated... hopefully, someone can explain why the following has happened. I saw that my soon-to-be enemy had a high amount of shields, so I quickly built up the gun technology to counter this. He eventually declares war on me but I am prepared with a group of ships that already have gun technology. So, I had a fairly l
BlueDev had some really good advice there. Here are some other tips: Eat smaller and more frequent meals. If you eat only one meal but it's huge, that is a lot worse than three smaller meals. Don't ever try to totally change your diet overnight. Unless you are EXTREMELY disciplined, it won't work. Like others have already pointed out, you'll gain all the weight you lost and then some. Work slowly and gradually (this goes in contr
Acohen, great to hear that you're wanting to start eating healthier. Here are some tips (I'm studying to be an acupuncturist and we take nutrition courses as well...) 1) Drinking water is definately great. The best amount is to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces each day. I.E. If you weigh 150 Ibs, drink 75 ounces of water a day. I suggest starting out slowly and working up. Eventually, you'll reach the point where you'll crave water
David, Sorry that you are in pain. Have you thought about going for acupuncture treatment? It's quite helpful for relieving pain over time.
Jill, I think a lot of people, including myself, wish we were morning people and are not. I'm only 25 and have no kids... and I still party a lot during the weekend. But then, during the week, I have to drive to school, an hour away, and be there by 9. What I first started doing was getting up around 6:45 but I was always rushed. I then felt like crap by the time I got to school. So, I now get up at 6. I don't rush things... I go very slow
