Some of these remind me of MOO3, especially newbutton1 and 9. Not that that's a bad thing. I'll play around with them as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for making them.

Well the semi quasi somewhat standard thing is to have a a small number of discreet grades, Very Poor to Poor to Average to Rich to Very Rich, occasionally with Ultra Poor and Ultra Rich or something... I don't know if FO is doing the same but it's a fair guess for those willing to listen to a talki...

Gonna have to go with a solid "Hmm" on this. I'd say tone down the percussion a fair bit (less volume, maybe more variety, or possibly do something else entirely with the space), try reducing the tempo of the whole thing a little, and it might make a good racial map track... But yeah we're...

Right, so I guess there's a good reason why "tentative approval" is called tentative. ;) Sorry for taking so long to get around to this, but basically a final decision has been reached and that is that everything is going to have to use the same license, that being BY-SA. If nothing else t...

Pfft, 3D is soooo 5-years-ago. 4D is where it's at now. *nods*

Happened in my MOO3 multiplayer games all the time. Wouldn't exactly call it rare, heh.

So uhh, I guess no one else thinks it'd look better if the gray O was continuous under the red cross eh? (Sorry, had to ask. ;)

He's posted enough that i'm confident that's not his strength. ... Ouch. Heh. I don't mean to get in the way here Zach so I'm just gonna say this then disappear again... I sympathize with Eleazar.

I'm all for diplomacy anthems -- Civ4 does that wonderfully, and even has multiple different ones for each race depending on what era that race is currently in -- but they're necessarily much shorter than tracks for other categories (30sec - 1min), and at their core are basically an optional element...

Mongoose has a ton of tracks completed Some of them are better than others. ;) @eleazar: The only guaranteed places for different things to be playing at the moment are 1) game title screen, 2) galaxy map, and 3) combat. The first can't really be race-specific, since you haven't chosen a race yet a...

It is interesting how the show moves through such paradym shifts, eg end season 2 where they settle on a planet and then the cylons capture them. Overall, I just want to get to Earth and see what happens. Perhaps earth will be really powerful and waste the cylons (we don't know what earth year the ...
