Re: game #2 of Neptune's Pride 2

Mostly correct, Joe and I have a brief war after I took care of Inquist, but we didn't get anywhere. Pretty much trade stars back and forth around my border, eventually I got lazy and agree to Joe's truce. Inquist's attack forced me to chase him down instead of build up against Joe, and Joe notices ...

Re: game #2 of Neptune's Pride 2

Sorry, I just got lazy. Feels like the back and forth against Joe would take forever.

Re: XCOM [spoilers]

I think I am going to start a new game. Lost one classic due to 8 countries leaving and the current classic ironman is tanking after I lost 4 soldiers in one mission and 2 more in the same month (FEB). No money for new soldier and don't have anything to sell.

Re: XCOM [spoilers]

man you are making me addicted to this game again. Do you know if there is a screen to see the past events? Like when a research or construction is done?

Re: x-com

are those stats only available for Ironman? Don't recall comparisons like that. I should play ironman, but I am too much of a loser to do that

Re: x-com

I think if you "lose" it's consider as completed a game. Might be faster than play all the way through if you care that much.

Re: x-com

are you playing with second wave options? Training Roulette is pretty cool, but haven't gotten an over powering soldier yet.

Marathon and classic is kicking my butt

Re: Neptune's Pride 2 experimental

I thing rare gate is 10% and common is 30%. Level 4 scan/hyperspace might be good, especially with dark universe.

Re: Neptune's Pride 2 experimental

Bad password? I am ok with 10 star start, but I think there should be 5 econ to start so new players dont screw themselves over. Was think of cheap research and expansive exp to counter exp rush, just feel so boring. Science was expansive to account for cheap research, and lvl 3 exp should still giv...

Re: Neptune's Pride 2 experimental

24 hour wait feels right to me. With 18 hours if I submit and start a new turn around lunch, the deadline for next turn is at midnight.

Re: Neptune's Pride 2 experimental

I think in general 3 turn to production feels right. I like the idea of 6/18. I am thinking maybe for next game we can set resource to be sparse, and science crazy expensive but start with 4 science on homeworld. I actually would like to see all research be cheap, except for experimentation, which s...

Re: game #2 of Neptune's Pride 2

By disable I mean setting it to No Research. if you do that it doesn't even show up on the list of tech for that game, not sure if the preset level still impact the game.

Re: game #2 of Neptune's Pride 2

I do agree with Joe that experimentation seems to make research less strategic(?). In the other game I found everyone rush experimentation and are not willing to trade it, even for weapon. It's a nice idea to have random starting tech advantage, but not sure if I care for the exp after 2-3 days. May...

Re: game #2 of Neptune's Pride 2

ok, so I can see 2 stars outside of my starting allocation! I don't know if somehow Jon and I have opposing astrological sign or something. I am going to stop picking green, but of course now I said that green will be the best color in the next game.

I have no objection with external players.

Re: going to be starting up a Mohtalim game of Neptune's Pri

I don't know if I like the 12 hour ticks. Maybe I just need to adjust my play style for turn based game, but in realtime game, since it takes multiple hours for the ships to get anyway, I can position ships near by and move them to defense when I see enemy ships moving. Last turn Jon was able to tak...
