This is a pretty nasty racial combo...

Will, isn't that pretty much true of any game against the AI? All you have to do is 'barricade' yourself into a few systems and research? Even with a bonus the AI is awful at research. It follows a pre-planned script and cannot deviate from it to react to actual need except for one or two things like mine sweepers. If you were playing against at least one human opponent I think your game would have turnd out very differently.

Jimbob:
No, it isn't that game. It's a different PBW game.

And one in which I am doing almost as well as Fyron, I dare say.

I can safely say that I'm definately not doing as well as either of you...

I would really like to see your .emp or general plan for that type of empire SJ.

Fyron · #6 July 18th, 2002, 09:18 PM

That's only cause SJ offered to sell neat toys to me, so I didn't attack him.

j/k Well, that, and the fact that I am between his empire and the rest of the galaxy, so it would be rather problematic for others to attack his homeworld (supply related problems).

You know Dumbluck, upgrading our treaty to a T&R treaty would help a little.

Quick Question for those who use Temporal:

Do you just head straight for Temporal Space Yards, or do you research Space Yards 3 first? Seems like you would have to in order to build Space Yard ships (I don't believe Temporal has a SY ship component).

It seems like a waste that you have to demolish your SY 3 in order to build a Temporal yard.

I'm just wondering if anyone found it effective (or feasible) to go straight for temporal yards?
