Reply to Unclean Beast player says UB needs balancing in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I played a few Pantheon matches yesterday with the Beast and it was just entirely too easy. I used spit and chased them down until close to towers then retreated. I got the Diseased claws I and Inner Beast until I could get Foul Grasp. Once I got Foul Grasp it was over. Multiple times I would spit then melee and they would start to use a portal scroll and I would save Foul Grasp to interrupt it, then they died. I had 12+ kills in a slaughter match with no deaths.

Reply to Couple of ideas or thoughts on beta stuff in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I haven't played alot yet, but so far I feel like the cost of the Starbase seems right. The research stations + the research itself in addition to building the construction frigate. I do however feel like the upgrades are a little expensive to begin with. Case in point would be the hangar upgrades which are close to twice what you would pay for a hangar bay defensive structure. Maybe drop the cost of the first upgrade in the series and have them get more and more expen

Reply to did you love homeworld/homeworld 2?? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Homeworld was great. I still have HW1, HW2, and Cataclysm. I enjoyed the fuel aspect in the first one, you don't see too many games that use anything like that. I have to agree on the story as well, with Cataclysm being a little below the other two. The story board narration was and still is original and very well done. Less is more I guess. I haven't played them in a while, I can't get cataclysm to run at all, but I might try to reinstall HW1 thi

Reply to Expelled: Is Intelligent Design a Science? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Something I am slightly confused about. Are supporters of ID campaigning to get this taught in Science classes or just in school? As long as no one tries to cram it down my throat I could care less but Science should stay in science class and it seems that ID isn't based on science so... teach it in philosophy class. I apologize if ID has some basis in science, I haven't read or heard about it if it has.

Reply to Expelled: Is Intelligent Design a Science? in Everything Else Sins Forums

Yeah I know it's a bad example, I had philosophy in college back in 2002. But my point still stands. All logic isn't sound logic and just because Sciene does use logic does not mean that Logic = Science.

Reply to Expelled: Is Intelligent Design a Science? in Everything Else Sins Forums

I have read the first two pages of this and I see alot of posts equating science with logic. They are not necessarily the same thing. Science requires experimentation and observation to get results, read: the Scientific Method. Logic can easily be false. Here is a decent example of fals logic. A. If every Tuesday it rains and B. My weekly prescription comes every Tuesday, then C. Every time it rains my weekly prescription arrives. Obviously it can rain other day

Reply to Game design flaw in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote] No it's the opposite. 3 players with 1 planet can have more ships than one player with 100 planets. As soon as there is more players in an alliance, the cap becomes higher regardless of economy, skill, research or anything else. It doesn't make sense. A 2 player alliance playing against a 3 player alliance should not be disadvantaged just because of numbers. The 2 players even if they have a better economy, more planets and more skill should not be forced to have 50% less ships. It just

Reply to Hot Seat? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Really? I always thought that hotseat was a much easier thing to implement. Seemed that it was just a matter of having 2 human controlled civs with the A.I. using the same script. What is the major time sink with doing a hotseat mode? Just curious.

Reply to Military Starbases upgrades in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I believe that you have to have at least 1 defense/weapon for the starbase assist to kick in. Exaple: So a tiny fighter with 2 laser near a starbase with +1 to laser and massdriver and +1 shield and point defense. When it attacks, the fighter would get the +1 laser and +1 mass driver from a starbase but not the +1 point defense or +1 Shield. To rectify this you just add the cheapest form of defense you have researched and can fit to the fighter and voila you have extra defe

Reply to New Game Idea based on Ship Designer in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I miss a good 'ole space shooter. I used to play Tachyon the Fringe alot but it won't run on Win XP and I can't find a work around for it. Real shame too, it was a good game and multiplayer was actually pretty fun.

Colony and Troop Modules in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed that when I made a troop transport with only one Troop module last night that it maxed at 500 pop. Does this hold true with one Colony module and more importantly can I add more modules with miniturization to increase that amount carried to over 1000?

Reply to New player needs a lot of help, please. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

since its fairly new there isnt alot of FAQs or user created manuals around, I'd suggest browsing the forums for a little each day. I'm new to the series as well but I also have Civ 3 and 4 so I'm fairly experienced with turn-based strategy games. I bought the game online and downloaded it so I dont have a printed out manual to use while playing. Though I did take the time to skim it for important info. It is detailed and has a table of contents I'd try looking into that. <br/

I'm with GB17, my game crashes pretty randomly. If I hadn't invested in a new case and fans before christmas it would be nigh unplayable which consequently would be a dog gone shame cause so far I'm loving this game.

Reply to Question re: ship defense in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I was going to mention the space requirements as well. When you look at low level armor techs they all require huge amounts of space. That in itself means that going for 1 point of each kind of defense is harder than going with an advanced form that offers 3 defense for much less space. In a game im playing now the AI all have mass drivers so I have teched way up the armor tree and have the second grad of the third kind, tri something or other. I noticed that it only uses up 6 or 7 space com

Reply to Cloaking in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Sounds like a good idea, we probably wont get it though as the dev stuff I read said they tried to put it in but it couldn't be balanced. As a counter to sensors it could be cool in the future if we get multiplayer.

Reply to So many small tech itterations for same overall tech in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I like the way techs work now, you actually have more choices. And I for one do occasionally use lower level laser techs. for example I might want to save cost on a new frigate so I can producde them faster so I use a cheaper laser that does the same damage as my armament. This is just one example but there are plenty of ways to use the tech system in ways that almost no other game gives you the option of doing.
