[quote]Me and the Monk have had the same problems!!! He created the names: the Monk (2 spaces) and Mr. Peebuddy (Extra space) which makes them diffrent names which look almost identical. He then impersonated us and misrepresented us. When logged as the Monk he made many harrassing comments to myself and other players, cussing alot and even being racist. IRONCLAD/STARDOCK, if you are out there, somewhere, reading this post I sincerely hope you will do something about this!!![/quote]
[quote] Or if we have enough on we'll skip pubs altogether and play inhouse so we're sure of a quality game.[/quote] Im a vet with many non strat games and I agree you do get a better game but the mind some of your friends stop playing , well by that time there probably will be less on IC because many people work like how you say. Community standard wont raise unless people are willing to play newbies. I would love to get a game with some of you though if even to see a good replay and a
I actually understand it being annoying if you are playing someone completely new thats why Ive avoided MP but I agree what the person said about if a newbie gets trashed and watches the replay they will learn. With that said if any of you are in a forgiving mood and need a newbie to fill a place feel free to pm me :)
I will adhere to that as well , in game I play currently as foxfire but Im trying to sort my game out by getting better at sp. Anyway /signed :)
Hi , Im about to go afk and have another game.(Think Im hopelessy addicted lol) . Anyway before I do this I was just looking up stuff in the strategy forum and I really need to ask this dumb question now and get it over with: What do the following abbreviations stand for? 2 Kols/1 Marza/1 Sova/1 Dunov/1 Akkan Maybe some arent abbreviations I dunno its just theres still ships I havent used as TEC yet. Is the Akkan a battleship or something?
[quote]I can't clearly point what ships are "worst" for me, but somehow I don't like revelation. It's not hideous but I just don't like it as much as others.[/quote] Each to there own I guess :) , I actually like the revelation, maybe it was just the name I liked and the first time I saw it I didnt know what kind of abilities it had so I was kinda worried. All that could have added to me thinking its something special I guess and it may not be.
Im not getting involved in arguments but duhman02 your summing up made me laugh there lol
lol nice way to play the game :). Hopefully I will have some really memmorable stuff in future.
no edit button again, will make this my last post to let someone else feedback . I ended up losing but not before I took out 1 of the factions, I think I did it all wrong just at the start of the middle game.(one aspect I neglected diplomacy and was fighting all the ai for a while and that slowed me down, I got an ally but I took to long to set that up and all the fighting on all sides cost me bad!) Possibly spent too long building a fleet when I should have kept getting colonies fast. Either wa
Ok np yw :) . I am learning the game and just maybe its because Im getting better but I am still playing that map and the fleets going about are massive :) planned to have it finished but its total carnage now :) have cruiser and am about to try and get a 2nd cap ship online and try and win but I must admit this is probably the longest Ive sat on one map . Think medium maps which up until now it was either huge or small I tried, well they seem to give the game a good balance. You shoul
Ok playing your map now :) I paused it at the momment to feedback, thus far Im enjoying it :) Heres the thing everything started fine, no defeat message like the other person recieved , for me at least. I have capped maybe 4 systems so still a bit to do, I see enemy ships but Im not sure if its just like the rogue ones. There were some roids seemed to be owned by another faction though. I need to get more planets capped to be sure if the enemys there and working correctly so will need an hour or
Okay xtanto Im on your map now :) just want to be 100% sure though, I goto sp then flick through map types and in custom maps there is no picture , just where the picture is it says custom and the map name is new-0 Im going to check out the text file and see if I can set a name so I know 100% its your map, if it is Im on the latest patch and am not getting any problems with instant defeat, just gonna make sure though testing now :) Cool about the backstory why not :) Just wande
nadirxyz just reminded me when he mentions gciv 2, lol cant BELIEVE I forgot to mention this! at least I think I did, I like it very much but requires alot of micro management. I got gciv2 + dark avator + dreadlords. I dont even think I have played all the expansions yet. Wow! just noticed someone mentioned populous man that game was EPIC in its day, I LOVED it! Takes me back to an old game that involved strategy where it was like these people you had to control and they could have lik
[quote]No, it isn't. That setup is as "top as the line" you can get without paying a retarded amount of money for components that give you a 2% performance increase. [/quote] I agree about spending 5k to go top of the line but the fact is I know someone with a top of the line PC, I however opted for the slightly cheaper option and my system still runs everything well and we both need to upgrade at the same time. Offcourse top notch components are good but the actual performance inc
I was all for ladders but seeing how people are looking for ways to exploit the game currently well if there was a ladder it would need to have admin monitoring peoples stats and stuff to try and weed out cheaters and I cant see it getting taken as seriously as would need be. Heres hoping though :)
Yeah DFM , I must admit I laughed when I read your post its just I have a network in the house an have to remember family passwords and what not. Your best to register yourself in future since no doubt you will have a whole set of passwords in your head that you can remember :). I agree about the password thing. However I imagine IC has their work cut out atm, and they are getting asked for numerous changes.(Games hardly out gets great reviews and people are opting to get it hacked up, the passw
[quote]I only play alone, in SP, taking my time to develop the other, more civ-building dimensions of the game (as the thread's OP mentions) : I paid for it, and that's how I like to play it.[/quote] If it doesnt work out so each faction is more than watered down rubbish in the end that makes them near identical I will probably do the same. I would also like to get together with somepeople online that like playing a game on normal speed that are willing to play a game in multip
I agree with Fractallicon and by the time all the so called balance tweaks are done the game is going to be speed orientated.... utter crap.
I'm in a clan already but I think this could work well. Good luck!
I will give it a try just to give ya support :) but Im too new to be able to reccomend MP stuff, I will test it in SP and keep an eye out for any bugs :) Downloading now.
[quote]Especially if I've turned against a former ally. [/quote] I like the whole betrayel aspect and out with a geniune crash there is no excuse for hanging up, I lose in strats alot and I never do this. Keep going though and soon nothing will be unique about this game.
Really need to sort the edit button functionality but just to finally say I 100% agree with you redmaw. Anyway Im away to have a game and dont want hassle but I Hope a good game doesnt get ruined. Fact is every faction should have really strong abilities which players should have to learn to counter. (Sure there are extremes which have to be dealt with but the fact is many times if a player just gets outclassed then people complain and the game gets wrecked, maybe Im just a cynic but Im thinking
[quote]You guys are taking the whole rebalancing thing way too far. You routinely listen to the most vocal of people and ignore everyone else. It's getting quite tiresome.[/quote] Yeah while Im a newbie and havent called for any balance changes , I worry that what you say is what will happen. This is why either IC needs to really do prolonged testing where balance is concerned and also how it affects the game as a whole. I liked the fact that all the factions had real strengths, It does
No edit button again but this was inevatble to happen , people moan about units perhaps from a context limited to how it effects there chosen faction and that has a knockon effect to all factions abilities because there is a severe imbalance to the nerfed faction . Same old same old wish except in extreme cases people would not shout so all the specials end up rubbish and you need a degree in warfare strategy to use any abilities usefully.
