[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="3443806"] I shouldn't admit this but for me the community is the whole point. if not for the forums I wouldn't make games. [/quote] psst. you're my favorite developer.

I'm very partial to the Drath. The population growth penalty was their only real drawback and their super ability was incredibly powerful and satisfying. Pulling the strings while you prepare yourself for domination? Who doesn't like that. Sad to see them (presumably) gone, but I don't see how their ability can translate between single and multiplayer. Super Diplomat and Super Organizer have the same issue. Second to that, the Arceans are interesting. Many racial tec

I would politely caution you guys to avoid the mistakes you made as GalCiv II evolved from the base game to TA: equating complexity with quality. A lot of the parts and textures grew busy in an attempt to improve them, but they just ended up being looking overdone and unattractive. That's opinion, of course, and the visuals won't make or break this game. I look forward to seeing more!
[quote who="Cyong_" reply="1" id="3433428"] Funny thing is, GalCiv2 worked pretty will with touch even not being optimized for it... I have done more than a few Twitch.TV live streams of gameplay like that using my Surface Pro 2, as well as in person demos of the Surface Pro for on the go gaming. Playing GalCiv2 on my Surface Pro is actually what got me an invite to the Surface Pro 2 launch event to talk about gaming on the Surface Pro. (Civ5, DotA, GalCiv2, WoW, Portal 2, etc) [/q
After all, can you imagine what would happen if you tried to make some sort of City simulation game today? People would expect to be able to zoom in on individual citizens and have breathtaking visuals but also expect it to take place on some giant map. The designers would have to either have to make the map you play on be really small or cut down the amount of detail or cut down the visual fidelity of the world/buildings (or a combination of all 3). It would be very diffi
So many people wailing about Wail. It is really not that hard to counter. Use a Kostura to go directly to the high population planets, or to disable Temples of Communion. Use Novaliths to reduce the populations of threatening planets. If the population is low, Wail does no damage. Wail is an emergency weapon that is very self-destructive to use.
Yep. Why is Advent Rebel so much better than Advent Loyalist? Primarily because of Wail and the Eradica -- and think about how uncompetitive AL is compared to Vasari and TEC. I don't believe that either are overpowered at all because you have to look at how they work with the faction as a whole.
TEC and Vasari both have strong counters for this ability. Even though starbases can prevent the loss of planets from bombardment, Novaliths can still kill the planet's population. With a low population, Wail is not a threat. Focus your Novalith's fire on planets with high population, based on the bath you're taking as you invade. If you are Vasari, you can use the Kostura to either disable the temples used to cast the ability at planets adjacent to the planet you plan to
Obvious troll?
I absolutely loved Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance, and I am very excited for Demigod. But I have to ask: does Demigod run more smoothly than Supcom?

I hope you have more!
Rather than starting a new thread, I'm also having an issue where anomalies are not rendered.
Pretty simple. It appears as though an exit from the game back to the desktop via alt-tab leads to a crash for the game when I return.

[quote]Well, since everyone knows that Star Wars happened "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", the movies are not really Science Fiction as much as they are Historical Documents. Sci-Fi channel, IIRC, doesnt focus much on biographies or re-creations of historical happenings, so it probably doesn't like airing the movies.All kidding aside, it probably doesn't want to pay the licensing rights to show the movie.[/quote] best reply ever
[quote] Gallente? UGLY? Have you ever SEEN a Minmatar or Caldari ship? The Megathron is the best looking ship in the game![/quote] The Hyperion, Thorax, Myrmidon, and a few others are cool. The rest? Eh. Certainly not the Megathron.
[quote]Eve sounds fun, but is it only PVP?[/quote] No, but you can be attacked anywhere. There's a system in place that effectively outlines where PVP is open and allowed, and to what degree, but it's not perfect. If you're careless you can be attacked anywhere. If you're careful, you're safe. It is a lot of fun, but you have to realize that you're a noob, or you will die constantly.
Too bad Mass Effect won't take that long to beat. I wanted to buy it, but seriously, I'm reconsidering. I'll still play it though.
I actually just started playing EVE recently, and I like it a lot. It is extremely cutthroat, but if you remember that it's a game, then you don't bitch when you're destroyed. I've fallen into several traps, and you know what I say afterwards? Good job. Then I end up talking to the people who took me out. You know what they say? Thanks for not complaining. All of these things are part of the game. Are personal attacks? Not really, no. Would I care if you cursed me out o
Mmm, Hurricane. What I really want is Sins ships in Eve. Specifically, I want the Rapture Battlecruiser. Delicious. Anyways, do the Gallente last. So ugly.

You need to make sure that the fleet you are attempting to bring to the Marauder (or transport away from it) is ready to jump when you trigger the ability. The duration is low enough that if it turns off before your ships reach the end of the gravity well, they'll take the long road. It sounds like this is what happened to you. Additionally, the Marauder cannot use this ability on itself.
At the moment, China and the United States have a necessary and symbiotic relationship, regardless of political and ideological disagreements. This may eventually change as production current in China shifts to other Asian nations, including India. What is not often realized is that the services China provides to us can be, in time, replaced. However, what we provide to China may not be replaced so easily. There is a lot of concern about China's rapid growth, but realistically, it is
I keep it on, lag or not.

Continuously excellent.
Oh boy. They're all pretty nice, except for the revelation, but I am partial to the Desolator and the Rapture. Awesome.
