my problems aren't with the military prowess of my enemies. but the lack-of enemies. I dont want to have to be the bad guy that declares the initial war. id like to be caught off guard by an angry race of aliens. that dont want peace. aka, Marauders, Voraptoid, Klingons. ya know angry aliens.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:41:01 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55751.html#55751 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55751.html#55751 If thats the case i'll just have to play a game in a small quadrant see if that changes anything.
For me, perhaps by chance the last two games I have had every major race apathetic to me then a few receptive then the odd brotherly. But all im doing is either flat-out refusing there treaty's or countering with resource tariffs of 5 or 10%. They insist on wanting to colonize my space. Come to think of it. It may be due to my "Only Breathable" colonizing option? well if i wont let you in, then Attack me if you want in my space! Very rarely does the enemy declare war on me.
forever I was in 2nd place with all the empires receptive to me, and the Eee (in 1st) on the edge of Amiable and at war with all the other races.. but leaving me alone i slowly built up a fleet to help against the Eee, but i waited and retro-fitted my fleet, and Sabataged the Eee, yet they continued to remain amiable, Even when i finally decided i had had enough peace-time research and attacked the Eee, they only wanted to allie with me. I even felt bad for trying to kill them. While they attacked every other race. but again maybe its just unlucky games or my playing style or something.
So far im the galaxy's most charismatic species.

Edit: I mean.. Im glad the galaxy is filled with friendly and helpful aliens and all but ... why do I have all these war-ships?
One or two aggressive races in every game is always nice. Ones that are especially hard to please or ally with. especially if they ally with other races, Gotta love trying to manage war on many fronts.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:42:21 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55750.html#55750 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55750.html#55750
The aggressiveness of the AI will depend a lot on how close they have colonies to your colonies. A number of the attack routines cut down on long distance attacks due to supply concerns etc. It'll also depend on how strong they view themselves versus your empire and if they consider you one of their primary enemies.

I'll review some of the attack conditions and see if I can encourage a bit more risk taking for the next update.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:54:04 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55749.html#55749 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55749.html#55749

I'll have to play All vs me Then I guess. Id like to have the Odd Alien friend though. If I custom made a bunch of "warrior" empires would they be less friendly towards me?]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:08:59 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55747.html#55747 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55747.html#55747 I know the BotF (Birth of the federation) was an Awesome game. lent to me by a friend and i've since returned. But once properly modded is an amazing startrek experience. Especially if you can get involved in the online community. The fact you can only chat with other Races you've met even human players was a neat feature. especially if you "Roleplay"
But enough of that Old game. im going to need to do some research on how to play this game over web.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:43:25 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55746.html#55746 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55746.html#55746

After you've been playing awhile and start to *really* get interested in different mods, you'll find that a whole bunch of them start out with Balance Mod (or parts of it) and edit it from there.]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:05:18 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55735.html#55735 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55735.html#55735 I come here between turns now that im addicted.
Your mod is fantastic. I was thoroughly disappointed by the weak AI after building my forces up and getting used to the game dynamics and then meeting little to no resistance in my sweep through the quandrant.
Now im not sure what to expect. Expect i have found for the most part the AI isnt nearly aggressive enough. when i do finally decide to goto war, they definately better-defend themselves.
One question for you. Is there a way, other then the All vs You option, to make the AI more aggressive? Before your Massive and all that. Im dieing to meet a hostile race that simply does not want to cooperate.
For now, I make it up, As much as I like being friendly to most alien races. we all need that one race that very much needs to be fought, with everything we've got. fire a hot, phaser shot, and make the alien scum rot!]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:28:30 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55734.html#55734 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55734.html#55734 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:52:11 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55733.html#55733 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55733.html#55733 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:19:57 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55732.html#55732 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55732.html#55732 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:07:23 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55731.html#55731 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-55731.html#55731
