noob review with 2 questions
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2019 5:19 am
last time I played orion was in a different century, I think it was on a 386 or maybe a commodore 64. it was faster
I am on an asus x64 w10 lappie atmo and am able to wirelessly cast realtime multiplayer games to my 42" plasma and don't even get any audio lag
I like to play fast, but quite enjoy a long game, so long as I don't fall asleep waiting for the turn to update
so, I have increased the system count from 200-250 and reduced the tech ratio from 2 to 1.5, I know I know I should reduce the system count to like 150 or something
now, as a nub, the default setting is 2ooo hahrd, I die around t120 so I reduced the aggression a bit
in my 1st 5 games I was able to create dozens of microfreezez, and after I successfully crashed the game once, I slowed down
race conditions, you see
o yes
FreeOrion_v0.4.8_2018-08-23.26f16b0_Win32_Setup
I had to go dig up the installer for that, as the exec wrapper doesn't contain the proper details. details
registering at this site was fun too, because EVERYONE knows that five plus three is eight and NOT 8 amiryt? lol
so atmo I have 2 q's
I am on like gane 8 turn 390 or something and just about to make dragon teeth
I just finished making that planetary phasing cloak and noticed a real pitb… it doesn't appear on all planets at once, and that's cool, it seems to propagate from nearest to farthest but actually, it propogates from newest to oldest
I capped a gas giant then followed up by capping its companion. later yellow invaded and I beat them off, reinvaded the companion, recapped it.
but I am unable to recap the gas giant no matter what I do to it, it remains with 1 shield 10 def and 13 troops
so after dozens of turns wasted on this silly gasbag, I raised that shield and it went up on the enemy ai controlled planet, next turn it went up on the companion etc, this happened in several spots in my empire, and now those areas are effectively stealthed unless I can dev the tech, but even if I do, how can I conquer un unkillable gas giant outpost? amd 2nd, Is this the expected behavior of the phasing cloak, or a record keeping glitch ?
I wont be posting more questions to the forum till I have a better handle on this game, so I will be reading the forum instead
I can hardly w8 to go mp online with this but I need skillz, so sum1 pls help out a promising nub and gimmee a few hints re my 2 questions?
btw no, the enemy planets we have NOT been in contention for do NOT have phase shields
thx
