Poisened dagger means you can run away from anybody without boots or anklets. You just need to hit them until you see them slow to a crawl, then liesurly get out of range. I find maim not enough against late game sedna, Beast and TB, but maim with poisened dagger, man it's fun kiting them to your pleasure.

Reply to *** Demigod PRAISE Thread *** in Demigod Demigod Forums

While mp can be fun (or frustrating depending upon whose going to connect), the SP for me has been a great time. For someone who had never played DOTA, at first I found the normal AI to be very hard. It felt like an accomplishment the first time I finally beat a team. Playing all the maps and then adding 1 Hard AI to the mix, I was able to finally beat it, then 2 Hard's and then my friend and myself were doing 2v4 Hard. This past weekend, I have graduated to Nightmare. I can n

Reply to BUG - SP unable to select DemiGods in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

This happened again last night with no map changes and no adding new DG's to either list. It was after 5-7 SP matches, it finally just quits allowing me to add DG's to the FoD at all.

Reply to Super-Fast Healing: What's doing it? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I had the same exact experience with OP....backed up to my crystal, I was oak with all my minions, throwing pentinace, followed by his AOE and slamming with my axe along with an AI rook slamming the ground and Senda's HP stayed within 50 pts of the max the entire time. Something is definately borked. If this is real and can be done by a person, Sedna is way OP.

BUG - SP unable to select DemiGods in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

This has happened twice now...I'm pretty sure these are the steps I followed. This happens after play 4-5 games on SP on one map and then switching to another map...not reproduceable from a clean start. When playing SP, regardless of map size, you have 3 slots to assign DG's...the other two slots are preloaded with 'closed'. When you try to assign a 'closed' slot to a DG for Forces of Light (I was doing hard ai's), subsequently 'kick the player' and then re-assign, it

I'm on 1.15 and have noticed this alot ... don't recall a lot with 1.12 or 1.05, but with 1.15, it's really getting annoying. I'm constantly having to select-all, leave-fleet, create fleet b/c I find my disciples joining up with my carriers, or illum's joining up with my guardians...really annoying. The only fleet which didn't appear to to get mixed up was the purge vessells. The other thing I've found is that while two fleets are seperate, when I give a move order to one, another fle

Reply to [Suggestion] Team start in same solar system in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I play Sins either SP or coop with a friend and I'm so tired of trying to play coop where we never hook up till the very end when we're mopping up. I really see no benefit to buying entrenchment when this feature of being able to co-locate teams isn't implemented. So +1 to OP...and -1 to Sins for not implementing this feature yet after how long?

Reply to Keeping Planets in Strategy Sins Forums

"ALT" key is your friend. It makes ALL things of a certain type do ONE thing. Use turrets, and as previous poster said, put them between phase lanes and planet. When siege frigates come in, press and hold "ALT", select a turret, and then target one of the siege frigates. All turrets that can will then target the siege frigate and it will go down. Rinse & repeat with the rest of the frigates. (This works with any ship, not just frigates) I've taken down 8 siege frigates w/out

I'm curious, I have a WRT54GS with no version # on the label (their FAQ says this is version 1) and when I go to Linksys site, it says the latest firmware is 4.71.1 which is what I'm running and says not to download other versions of firmware as they are not compatible. So, Q for you - which version of the WRT54G do you have and was the v1.02.2 listed as an acceptable version of the firmware for your WRT54G??

Out of curiosity so I know ballpark, with say 1 home planet + 2 asteroids + 1 more planet (either ice / volcanic), what is the expected income when you've maxed out all of these? (I don't typically build broadcast centers till later and think that may be contributing to my low $$)

Lots of Questions after a week of play in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's been an interesting week. I've played several games against the AI (1v1) and (2v2, 3v3, 2v2v2v2 with friends). It's interesting, we've had some cake-walks but then we get some games where each AI just spams major fleets, like 4 caps, 20 Guardians, 30 Drones, 30 Disciples (I'm used to playing Advent, these are the equivalents for each race). We don't turtle, we're constantly pushing, taking over planets and then all of a sudden, these huge fleets come out. I don't

Reply to How to play a game someone else has played?? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

So I guess the metaverse is simply a glorified score sheet where you can track the games you have played? IMO, if metaverse is going to live up to it's rep, it needs to have ability to track the game I played, with specific conditions and others can play it with the same exact conditions with exception they can use their own race. Otherwise, your score & my score are just apples and oranges.

turn off trading if you don't like micromanaging in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I've been experimenting with turning trading off. I for one have better things to do than try to figure out the logic that is behind whether they will accept anything in trade or not. And I don't have to worry about using the stupid trading interface to keep myself from getting 20 levels behind in tech b/c the AI trades between themselves relentlessly. Even the playing field & turn trading off when you start your game. The only p

Reply to Help with alliances in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I went through all that pain to get an ally in one game, they were between me and drengin. When drengin attacked, they "went to war" with them as well since we were allies, but they were pitiful. The drengin just went right through their systems without a scratch (didn't attack them, traveled 1/2 the map to attack my worlds). I ended up taking out Drengin all by myself and discarding the alliance to wipe them out as well. It's my only exper

I can't believe I'm seeing all those anomolies still around & resources that don't look like they have SB's on them?? I had a game I played last night where I was able to suck up 6 out of the 8 resources...the AI doesn't seem to be interested in them as much as they were before.

Reply to 1.1 Scoring Change in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

While I think this whole score thing is just plain silly b/c you never are comparing apples to oranges (if it meant something, we would all be playing the same exact scenario). Scores are just an accredidation for how much you play and it serves as a good record of the games you've played. It really doesn't mean one player is better than the other. Saying that... Galaxy size, # of oppenents, difficulty and planet / star abundancy

Frogboy - when you say you haven't seen it, what can I do to help you out? Eg, if I see it, should I immediately save the game and send it to you? Typically I think that the result is hard to debug when you are seeing the result and not the turn preceding it. I just keep a notepad next to me while playing & these are the things that I saw. The strangest by far was the AI ship being right under my SB...so if I select the starbase, both the s

Latest Beta is buggy as all get-out...need to go back to drawing board in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You've had a good run, but I think somewhere along the line you forgot to regression test. I just played my first game on the new beta and I found: 1. When selecting "build" in the small planet window, and select a ship, the queue remains empty. You have to go to large planet screen and select build from there to get it to work (later in the game, it started working??) 2. Early in the game I had a balance of 600bc, I was making 13

How to play a game someone else has played?? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I'm sure I missed it 'cause I thought the point of metaverse was to be able for people to play each other's games. When I go to a user's account page to see their detail, I can see the result of the games they've played, but I can't figure out how to play that game (but with my race perhaps?) and retain all their settings. Help?

Reply to How does the military resource sb work? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The "plain" military starbase (that you can create w/out a resource) is invaluable for protecting your fleets. You need to research the Starbase Projection part of the tree, and you get a number of killer things to help support your fleets within the area of effect. Note: Each item takes a constructor to enable...only enable those things that make sense. eg, if your ships are missle ships, don't upgrade the beam assist and if the enemy is us

Story: backed into a corner with no where to go in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have played quite a few games, and got comfortable on normal with an economy strategy & started playing tough. I think I lost 4 of my first 6 games pretty bad. It seemed like luck and I was continually pissed off by the AI who was tech trading like mad. I never had anything to trade, they were trading so much amongst themselves and to make matters worse, my economy strategy that played so well on normal wasn't holding up. One day on the

That is precisely the reason to do it. No matter what your justifications are for the system, if 90% of your players (my guess is this number is actually even higher - I would be surprised if any non-developer actually understands the system 100%) can't understand the system, it may be time for a new one. Ultimately I feel

Where is the Nano Ripper on the tech tree? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I give up. I can't find it. It mysteriously appears during the latter stages of the game. Obviously I've hit some combination where it is available and it is such a powerful weapon, I'd like to aim for it instead of aimlessly getting it without knowing how. What is the combination for getting it?
