Hey Soren, How actively do you check the Offworld subreddit ? There's a fair amount of opinions and thoughts about the current state of the game there. I was wondering if it's better to get in touch with the Mohawk team by linking relevant conversations here or if it's not necessary.
Yup, I've been bashing me head in with the CEO Scientific campaign. I just have not had the right combination of buildings, perks, and maps come up to ensure victory. I can absolutely beat almost any campaign with any HQ on Manager or lower, even on Scientific. However, CEO's got a grip on me. It's very difficult, I mean FTL hard-mode difficult. I mean Water Temple difficult. Gah! And the only reason why it is so difficult is because you just start with one less cl

It's true that actual shorting does not exist, but a player could technically 'short' (okay, really, it's 'sell') their existing stock of a resource when that resource is currently experiencing a surplus event, with the intent of purchasing that stock back at a lower price. Given the multiplayer-focus that OTC has though, I expect commentators will continue to say "short" as a shortened version of "shortage". It's just to be expected when an economy of word
Hey folks, Third game with me vs. Cubit32 done. Round 1 Winner:[spoiler]Cubit32[/spoiler] Round 2 Winner: [spoiler]Cubit32[/spoiler] But really, is anyone surprised?
Hey folks, Second game with me vs. BlueTriangle done. We both streamed it on our respective channels, but I think Zultar said he would post the Youtubes of the commented version of the game? (can you confirm this Zultar?). Round 1 Winner: [spoiler]Darthcaboose[/spoiler] Round 2 Winner: [spoiler]Darthcaboose[/spoiler]
It's on like Konkey Do... wait. Join in the epic Round 2 match between myself (twitch.tv/darthcaboose) and BlueTriangle (twitch.tv/bluetriangle) now!
You and me both, [quote who="BlueTriangle" reply="75" id="3534629"] Hey Darthcaboose, Evenings aren't great for me (until the weekends, but we need to play before then), you free any other time? Late morning to afternoon (EST) in particular (sorry, grad school is a pain). Add me on steam: BlueTriangle and on twitter: @BlueTriangleOTI to communicate a bit more directly. [/quote] Gah, you and me both. I'm not sure we can
In full agreement here. I'm surprised at the number of times the game starts and there's already two HQs in place.
Hey BlueTriangle, When's a good time for you? I'm in the PST time zone so lemme know your availability. I'm typically free in the evenings my time.
Hey folks, First game with me vs. Pybro01 done. Round 1 Winner:[spoiler]Darthcaboose[/spoiler] [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUbvGMg6PjU[/video] Round 2 Winner:[spoiler]Darthcaboose[/spoiler] [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hzdOLqBgxQ[/video] Darthcaboose streamed it, and will feature a highlight of the game.
Pybro01, may the best abstracted CEO win! Come 7 PM PST today, we shall engage in a battle of the APMs!
Very interesting. Do these bought-out Scientific buildings lose their special ability to use resources on their tile if the controlling player rebuilds from a Dynamite attack?
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3120611"]The amount of ships you can build depends on your research. However, increasing your fleet supply reduces your income by a certain percentage, up to 75% at the highest level. Thus its impossible for your income to be negative, but if you increase your fleet supply to fast your economy you'll be vulnerable if you need to quickly spend a lot of resources (I.e. your fleet got destroyed).[/quote] Well, provided you've bee
The level of discourse over what "Chance to resurrect: 10%" means over a limited sample space of ships is all said and good. The tech is, in my mind, a 10% hp boost to your cannon fodder, though we'll all be much happier to see an expensive frigate being resurrected over a scout ship.

[quote who="Ekko_Tek" reply="4" id="3125838"]Some of the older Advent voices sound the best in the game (which isn't saying a lot - the voice acting is pretty B-movie like overall) but the new ones on the corvettes are like anime rejects. The TEC voices and lines crack me up sometimes with how cheesy they are: "Secure the passengers!"[/quote] I dunno, some of the quotes are quite memorable. Not in Rebellion yet, but the Vasari had some fantastic voice acting. "Searching a
What a cool concept! Commander view is a bit like the marine commander view of Natural Selection & Natural Selection 2. Can't wait!
[quote quoting="post"] So I've slowly been figuring out how to make other empires like me but I can't figure out how to get my own rating of them up to even positive levels. It seems like I'm at the mercy of the AI doing my missions and sending envoys. I have the other empire's rating of me at around 10 but that doesn't let request any agreements or pacts.

First of all, it's great that Stardock is keeping Elemental updated and trying to wring out all the bugs and feature issues so far. Personally, when I finally scrounge enough cash to pony up for it, I feel that it'll be quite a worthwhile investment based on the feedback and video I've seen of the game. I also enjoy trying to figure out things in a game that aren't documented very well! That said, I've noticed that there haven't been any reviews out yet, which is probably not a bad th

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="1" id="2549435"]Give them cash and/or minerals?[/quote] Giving them resources will give you a maximum of +3 boost with the right research, though this does deteriorate slowly over time. Doing missions will also keep you at the maximum of +3 (I think...). Likewise, keeping your military force strong will stop that negative modifier from affecting your relationships too much. But yeah, they'll need more planets for you to sustainably increase
Sweet, will be keeping Impulse off until next week then, as I still haven't updated it yet!
There is a limit to how high standings will go. If you're playing with humans, you already start out at 10.00 standing. You can use envoy ships to bump up your standing by 1.50 for each planet (you only need one envoy ship on a planet to maintain this rating, but many envoy ships can be sent to a single planet to quickly build it up). Also, I'm not 100% sure about this, but giving resources only gives up to 1.00 standing increase (which can further increased by doing the appropriate research

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="30" id="2519206"] Quoting Agent of Kharma, reply 29 This is free trade propaganda. Free trade is wiping out the American middle class. Millions of good jobs are gone and will never come back. Free trade is also destroying the dollar, because free trade is responsible for the accumulation of the massive trade deficit. The only "amazing benefits" you speak of are to corporate CEO bonuses, and the Chinese. In the sho
I'm not sure how it works with the AI but rejecting a demand for providing gifts usually has dire consequences. Perhaps the AI is more receptive to following demands if the player requesting has a larger army than the other side?
[quote who="wbino" reply="5" id="2504162"] Quoting Darthcaboose, reply 4 Quoting wbino, reply 3 I really don't understand Diplomacy, in a game where there are 3 races, you befriend one side and spend all those points to better a relationship. Then as soon as the third race is defeated then what? Are Envoy cruisers from that point on in a 1x1 game no longer neccesary? And you cant send pirates on missions when there are just two teams left?<b
