Re: Happiness...driving me to dispair

I always thought the natural decrease was a tendancy to become unhappy over time. Isn't this what drives the planet to indifferent on turn 3 with no other events ?

Re: picking up troops after ground combat

simultaneous.

It definitely used to work. And definitely does not now. I just ran a test to confirm what I am seeing in PBW games.

Stangly enough, if you give a fleet orders to pick up troops...

picking up troops after ground combat

In SEIV I used to be bale to capture multiple planets in a turn by setting a fleet to capture planets, then moving the fleet to a planet, then ordering it to pick up troops from the same planet, then...

Re: problems capturing planets in SE IV Gold

you know, I wonder if my problem is that my main fleet are all missile armed. They launch all their missiles in an attempt to wipe out the WP, but since there are 30-odd ships, they end up glassing...

Re: problems capturing planets in SE IV Gold

yep, tried capture planet as the fleet strategy.

I dont seem to remember having any trouble with before Gold.

Looking at the combat replay the troop ships just run straight for the corners.

problems capturing planets in SE IV Gold

Has something changed? My transports with troops on board keep running away and the rest of my fleet glasses the planet. I never had to put weapons to troop tranports before. Do I need to do this now...

Re: Official statement of cheating on PBW.

I was unlucky enough be burned in games reuined by both of the recent cheaters. Probably lost 30-50 hours? I'm not bitter about it cos I know this dort of thing will inevitably happen occasionally,...

Re: A couple of point defence questions

seems to me then that a PD ship should have something like a Napalm bomb in addition to the PD cannon, so that it is prevented from running away in cmbat, but has nothing that can target enemy ships....

A couple of point defence questions

I feel like I should probably know this alerady but;

If I have a ship loaded with PD;

Re: why can the AI build more facilities on a planet then it can hold ??

it's not obvioous from the description is it ? Turns out it is one of the most useful advanced traits once you figure out what it really gives you.

Re: Defender NOT Going First in v1.49 Strategic Combat

I wonder if random might actually be better? As you say at least it's fair, and it might help break some of those warp point stalemates and make the early/middle game a little less defence-oriented?

Re: Defender NOT Going First in v1.49 Strategic Combat

argh. This is a _such_ a painful error. I had based a couple of recent strategies in my PBW games on this being fixed. Back to the drawing board I guess. Any response from MM yet ?

Re: Defender NOT Going First in v1.49 Strategic Combat

I ran a simple test with 2 human-controlled empires in a regular game and it appeared to me that the defender (regardless of player order) was going first on warp point battles. I ran the same test...

Re: to email or not to email

think I'll just make a practice of asking the host of any game I'm in to say whether it's ok or not. The in-game comms can be almost impossible to do anything other than make basic treaties.
