<t> Someone really knows their 90s/2000s electronica. :><br/> You even chose my favourite Black Dog tracks. Damn, this is wonderful.<br/> <br/> My only complaint is you haven't used any music from Drexciya alias'. If you don't know of Transllusion, Arpanet, Dopplereffekt, Japanese Telecom etc you sh...

Damn... someone really knows their electronica.

My favourite Black Dog track of all time is in there - Psil-Cosyin. Even some Drexciya and Brothomstates too! Excellent choices.

really nice links, thanks. :}

i will of course be sharing these on facebook and taking all credit for finding them.

however i'll think of you guys as i do so. : P

ship movement, planet orbit and the like are fairly smooth, the stuttering is mainly just while zooming in/out and on the minimap. while annoying it's not a dealbreaker.

go on then, just a spoonful though.

watch out for the moldy bits.

<t> i know where this is leading. you think the AI is played by fishman don't you?<br/> <br/> he definitely appears to have sufficient knowledge of the game to play multiple empires against multiple people at the same time.<br/> <br/> on topic - i honestly find racial techs in general a little silly...

<t> ok thanks. : ) <br/> <br/> what i've been doing is setting one to counterintelligence indefinitely and having the rest mainly steal technology and the like, perhaps i should start doing things differently. i didn't notice the counterspy's experience going up even after an enemy spy was caught bu...

<t> yeah it's weird for sure. i think it's because if we play as the humans we imagine we are playing as ourselves. now i like to think that if i really was running a galactic empire that i'd feel bad mercilessly wiping out a peaceful nation of frogfaced friends or cutesy rodents with cat's faces et...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Fishman<br/> That's true only of good things. For negativity, you only need one counter-example.

come to think of it, do spies set to counterintelligence ever gain experience? from what i remember they don't even gain experience when they successfully foil another spies attempts to blow your good self up. i can't test this at the moment but if i remember correctly this should be fixed.

<t> i am in an awkward situation in these games. i generally find peace boring too, but usually feel guilty starting wars myself. basically i enjoy guiltfree fighting. come to think of it, that's how i play most games. when i played pvp-centric MMOs in the past i'd usually bring an irishman with me ...

so i am "like jam" but not genetically related to it?

<t> well, from my point of view there's definitely one of you that seems far happier, more positive and generally more pleasant.<br/> <br/> on topic - distant worlds is different enough in gameplay and style to warrant owning both. personally i enjoy it more than galactic civilizations II, it's just...

<t> seems i had the definition wrong afterall, my mistake. i was thinking more of a vassal type scenario.<br/> <br/> with that in mind it seems that subjugated empires should be completely under your control (your colour). it should be very hard to do of course and perhaps their planets should be fl...

as said above you alter the ship "family". it's at the bottom of the race editing page (design images). :}

works perfectly, thanks a lot! :}

<t> maybe i am missing the point but in my books a subjugated empire should have MORE inherent chance to go to war with you. you beat them into submission then forced them to pay you tribute, so really they should hate you. the only thing stopping them should be your military superiority, but once t...

<t> oh trust me they can make a lot of money. i've seen 5-6 resorts make 10k income in one game and 120k income in another, it just depends who has access to them.<br/> <br/> it seems the more "lategame" you are in respects to how many empires know about you, the more important they are. that's assu...
