Oh wow, I can't believe this thing is still going.First off, hello, wake up, if anything Each race has its own increadibly overpowered ability, I did a LAN party for two days straight with three guys and 7 AI on very hard, guess who won? me, guess what I was? TEC, know why? I had more money than I could spend even if I created Macros to every single planet and frigate factory at those planets, want to know how long it took me to get all that cash? roughly `1-2 hours. Yes, one of them was Vasari,yes he had RA, yes some of the AI was vasari, dunno if they had RA though.As for the advent, if you get all their culture stuff, it makes the game increadbily lame for most other people, providing you can do it right, you can pretty much kick out every other culture off of every other planet, and when they destroy your planets, they cant take em.So what if the Vasari get free fleet? Advent get increadibly annoying and overpowered research and culture capabilites, and the TEC get more money than anyone ever needs.If you people can't play the game to its fullest, don't go whinning cause someone else knows how to use their race effectively.Wow if i'm correct you're playing against your friends and AI.We're talking about real players, with real skills. Please try to play tec against a person playing vasari who actually knows what he's doing.Do not bring any of your "omg i pwns AI, so i know what i'm talkin about!" bullshit.The game is over when 1 team has RA and another doesn't. Unless it's caught very early and a whole team does rushes on phase gates.
My, someone is mad, possibly because I am actually posting facts? Resorting to insults are we? How foolish, do try to be more mature. Your post is comprised entirely of assumption and insults, do get a life, here is an assumption of my own, my friends are probably a lot better at you at this game, simply because they can keep their temper after reading text, thus making them better strategic players, and now I shall group you in the same group as AI because I can, the latter is basically what you are saying, and thus I shall not even attempt to wrap my mind around the issue of explaining things to you.
Moving on.
Your post is false, simply because I am a 70% Vasari player, 28% TEC player, and 2% Advent player, thus I'v used RA, and several times.It is not, 'cause this was a direct response to
it really does seem like most of the people,(note:Most, not all), whom have simply strolled into this thread crying for the removal or alteration, have NEVER ACTUALLY PLAYED AS VASARI AND ARE SEEING THIS ONLY FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE OPPOSING PLAYER.Your reading skills lack. I wasn't stating that you hadn't played Vasari, but that we I and other people had played Vasari a lot. I was also suspecting that you had not done enough to actually base your strategy around exploiting the unbalancedness that is RA. Try it?Also, I don't think discussing all relative percentages of what you played and definition questions and (a misunderstood version of) the lore makes much sense in a gameplay balance thread.I'd prefer it if you stated why RA was NOT overpowered, who knows, maybe we haven't thought of something...?
My reading skills don't lack, you stated that "The realization that RA is overpowered comes from exploiting it" The percentages were to represent that I almost always play as Vasari, and thus, have exploited RA, and I know how powerfull it is, I also know a few ways to counter it, thus making it not nearly as powerful, one of those ways is to actually exploit the money reserves of the TEC.
