Re: lack of resource bug

What caught my attention was during a long war with the modded Xichung. It was a tough battle and then it was like they just gave up and I walked over them. I went back to a save game and observed....

Re: lack of resource bug

I have the mod pack loaded because the AIs fight better, especially the Xichung (all AIs should fight as good as they do). The lack of resources for the AI doesn't usually occur until near game turn...

Re: State of the game: experience reports (long)

Let us take a tiny non breatheable planet with 50% production. You don't get any population bonus so it will only produce 400 minerals. That 400 is one shot each turn. Use it or loose it. Instead...

Re: State of the game: experience reports (long)

Lucanos. The increase in empire storage to 10,000,000 is not my suggestion for a solution, but the means I used to test my hypothesis. I posted a separate thread with ideas. I agree that the AI...

Re: Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

You have some good points. In the mod I am designing I added a new vehicle called space plane or basically a large fighter. Only 80 tons with a max of three engines or enough for bridge, crew...

Re: State of the game: experience reports (long)

I have found that the AI is a terror at the beginning but strangles itself through poor resource management in longer games. I think the reason is that it does not build storage facilities and the...

Re: Are some techs/wepons useless?

One defense is armor. It is cheaper to research than shields and offers more protection per space (a level III generates 150 points for 40 tons while 40 tons of armor protects 160 points). It also...

Re: Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

Marty Ward,

I initially thought the same. But a difference exists. Weapon plateforms are for defense. Troops are for planetary assualt. The normal planet defense is handled by the...

Re: Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

Alpha Kodiak, I agree with your assessment, but I am not sure if the AI does. I also want to improve the ground combat side because for me it is the biggest disappointment in the game. If I can...

Re: Mod Packers - Research File Issues - EA & Toron

God Emperor, I agree with some of your statements. If you research troops, you should always research Troop weapons 3. I have added that to all the AI research queques. The same is true for mines...

Re: Suggestions for better AI resource management and better Ground combat

You just gave me an interesting idea. In SEIII the production facility would innately provide all of the storage capacity, but I also like the idea of additional storage facilities. If a production...

Suggestions for better AI resource management and better Ground combat

Re: odd 1.30 observation

In the settings file for the AIs, I noticed some blank Tabs at the end of the lines. Sometimes blanks have hidden characters that can case failure when uploading a text file into another program...

Re: Is anyone actually playing this vs actual people?

Too me, multiplayer IS hotseat, as the internet is too impersonal and too slow and not as fun to me as face to face. But then I grew up on board games. Get together with my friends and we play...

Re: Game Locking Up...Urghhh

I discovered what was causing my hang/game crash - a corrupted components file, specifically the small ion engine. Under the preq tech of propulsion, a space was added after the 1. This caused the...

Re: New Features You Would Like to See That Would Have to Be Hard Coded

Barnacle Bill,

I absolutely love your suggustions on diplomacy and treaties. Did you send them to MM? I consider colonizing in my system without my approval an act of war. I know the AI dosen't...

Re: Up to date beta patch info..

C4

I will defend myself since you quoted me (out of context)

I think MM had a choice. Continue to work with the 50 unpaid beta testers (hey that got a free game and got to play it for x months...

Re: Up to date beta patch info..

Freyland,

Your attack is uncalled for.

If you had been a fan of SEIII you would know the history behind SEIV. SEIV was delayed many times because it wasn't finished and MM has a high quality...

Re: Be patient!

MM has been working on this for a long time. MM didn't want to release the game until it was finished so the date kept on being pushed back. This summer, many of the fans put a lot of pressure on MM...
