RE: steam

<t> Hi Elliser<br/> it's a great game after all. Such strategy games esp. with Mech/BT based are really rare and have a lot in common with chess or other (old) board games. There are surely times when I only played it once in a year, but then comes times when I played it five times a day. With good ...

RE: Vulim Empire Coup

It took me 17 tries and a 16 times of "Get my girls back" expensive recoveries, but I worked a way out and they paid dearly (in the ...

RE: v1.2.8 patch rereleased

<t> Hi Larkin<br/> why was the GME modified so severly?<br/> before it had bigger punch (1*9 vs 2*4). Now it is a GMH2 with double heat, lighter & faster reload and only about half the range. Now the weapon lost (to me) it's complete meaning as a GMH2 is in any way a better deal.<br/> Before it ...

RE: Is there a way to replay a campaign?

<t> Hi Larkin<br/> The hard way is to start a new group I guess (as the Campaign "bytes" are stored in the group; right so far)? That leaves open to export my jocks to this new group, fetch some money to buy my custom made titans and have my will. Without the knowledge what a Bit/Byte/string means H...

Is there a way to replay a campaign?

<t> Hi<br/> ten years ago I played (with the same team, maybe the same jocks) the city Assault. Today I'd not even remember playing it or any mission. As I'm very happy with my team (the experience of my "old school" boys is pretty nice) I'd like to play it with them.<br/> Is there a way to reenable...

RE: Cheating and lessons learned

<r> Hi Timtek<br/> (maybe you will read this after such a long time...).<br/> Running with a slow (melee=ultra short range) titan in a mission with open plains unluckily with LR opponents with high skills is a picture for "suicide is painless". Even low skilled opponents shoot you down, but give you...

RE: For anyone interested...

Hi jureidinim
just read your ToS blog. Sounds a lot like the Outreach chronicles of BT. Fun to read even when they stopped in 2005 :-) (but the site is still active which is rare!)
Cheers

RE: *** RELEASED *** - Rise of the robots - *** RELEASED ***

Hello jureidinim
It was a bit spooky but really get me into the story. Great campaign! Not too heavy (I'm elite level with 1-2 assaults depending on the mission) and never boring.
Cheers

RE: Squirg's first map!

<t> Hello Squirg<br/> the map is everything I want from a "king of the mountain" battle. I've been in with 2 Assaults (Elite jocks) and apart from being unable to reload/repair (time to get there is much more than opponents arrive): it's too easy. While I find Ghstbear's 6:1 ratio really mind blowin...

RE: Vulim Empire Coup

<t> Hi Ghstbear<br/> I guess it's easier to retrieve my jock/titan instead of figuring out the cause/solution. Can you sent (PM) me the aftermath, so I know the end of the story? I'm glad I came out alive at all (with all my long time jocks) and only a few (own) titans destroyed!<br/> Cheers<br/> Sa...

RE: Vulim Empire Coup

P.S.: There's still a rebel fighter somewhere (never met one as my titan is quite slow) as it is in the AI engine visible. Must I meet with him to get infos?

RE: Vulim Empire Coup

Hi Ghstbear
I'm sure I received the message destroyed (after the first CLG shot did only damage it heavily), but I'm unsure if I received the "Grab all you can" message. It only takes 4000sec (Assault...) to go back; as no opponents are alive I'll go for it again and report back.

RE: Vulim Empire Coup

<t> Hello Ghstbear<br/> I've played your scenario and the story is quite interesting and fits like a glove to the TOS history and the thinking of that age. As Hero class only squad (and only 200t assaults at hand) it was damned hard on some missions (the Gen. Rescue mission e.g.) as the opponent rat...
