[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="18" id="2445988"] How do I get to the "sandbox" battles. All I see is the campaign option. When you launch the game, select "new game". In Twilight it is the top button, I don't remember exactly where it was in the earlier versions. [/quote] Okay, something was unclear earlier. I was using "campaign" in a more generic sense. I realized that when I saw the "Campaign" button a few down from the "New Game" b
[quote who="Space Cadet Stimpy" reply="14" id="2445277"]Jeez, harden up! Where's the rule that says you have to win every single computer game you play? If thats what you want, use the cheat modes, you can finish all research in one turn. Of course then you'd have to find something else to pi$$ and moan about, though I get the feeling that wouldn't be a problem for you.... [/quote] It wouldn't be such a big deal on a tactical scale. You win some, you lose some.&nb
I tried my idea after posting that question without checking back here first. I had actually figured out the NO part of that because it wouldn't let me select something without a prerequisite completed, but I had not figured out the top line part of it. I think I pretty much have the idea now with research. The big problem with campaign games is that they are really long and drawn out making "practice" games annoying. I get the hang of research & have 3 or 4 resour
I am still new to the game so I haven't gotten into messing around with everything. I have not adjusted the spending percentages so my research is at either 33% or 34%. Another question: Can I select a tech to research that is 2 steps out as a way of guiding those extra points of research when the prerequisite tech is completed? (Example: selecting Aquatic or Heavy Gravity world thereby pulling the research through Advanced Colonization)
I went back and looked at a recent autosave. I had 9 flasks & a research capacity of 9, I also had 2 large and 3 small shields with a military rating of 23 so I think that means that size correlates to place value. How is this value determined? I take it that a research center is 1, but does each bonus raise it by the x00% so a research facility on a 300% bonus give 1+3? Do planets have any base contribution. I think I saw something somewhere that ringed plan
Could you elaborate on that? Can I research beam, missile & mass driver simultaneously, but not defenses? I don't seem to be able to do that. Why would researching 1 area prevent me from researching another if I have several research facilities? How can I complete something and the next in line after it in the same turn? What exactly determines the tech output? I set up research on every planet I colonize. In one game, I even found a planet t
I just recently purchased this game, and I am quickly getting frustrated with a few issues, mainly research. I keep going into the research section & selecting certain things, and see at the bottom that it says it is researching the last thing I clicked on. I know it can research multiple areas because I have had it tell me that research has been completed on multiple items in the same turn, but when I go back to check on progress of other items, I see that research had stoppe
