In my recent games of Rising Tide on Normal, I've found some really fun things with the AI that I thought I'd might share: 1) They really do know when to strike. Even on Normal, they know when your forces are away before striking at your cities 2) Al Fallah really hates Emancipation Victories...

How is this even possible to achieve in any sort of game? Inevitably an AI always declares war on me just as I'm about to complete building a gateway/mindflower/beacon and I have to defend myself by sending my troops in larger numbers to destroying their equally-powerful troops and take over...

Ok, how the heck am I supposed to acquire this achievement? It's the only thing stopping me from 100%ing this game. But no matter how many times I have to defend the Homeworld from enemy attack, the achievement never pops up. What do I need to do exactly? I have had my fleet on and off the...

Title says as much. Sometimes during a battle, several planets spawn offscreen with all sorts of doodads within. It becomes downright a whole mess when you use a Warp Gate and suddenly you end up in this spot or if the enemy ends up there as you can't attack the ships within (because you can't...

Has anyone tried doing this? Epic map, Impossible Difficulty, Domination Victory and no cheesing the game via a local Barter planet? Because I've done a few runs with it. It's not too difficult to get the ball rolling and cheesing the enemy fleets in less than 10 flights. Especially if you're...

Like my Wonders thread, how would you rate each leader in terms of usefulness? Here's what I think of each (in order the game provides): 1) Samatar Barre - Reduced costs of cities? Uhh yeah, I'll get back to you on that one when I'm actually getting around to building cities rather than...

I feel like I should show the greater world the various Starships videos I've created on my Youtube channel! Well actually so far I've only made two videos but my first one is rather bad, so here's my good run: 1o1_SRulcfo It's a run on Hard, Large and with Bolivar at the helm. The whole thing...

I admit, whenever I start a game, I play Supremacy (and mostly a hybrid Supremacy and Purity because I'm sick of the Supremacy look and voices for all my games) and I don't start the game until I get a wonder I want. Some are OK, others just are not my style of play and I restart. Regardless of...

Title says most of it. But my game crashed for some reason after I had overloaded it with some mods. The mods are not important because the main issue is the game crashed and I had to close to desktop, end the process via task manager, all that jazz. Now I restarted the game and first thing I...

I hate alliances in Starships. Seriously, I really do. You're trying to build up your Federation, cheat a little with Barter planets for extra metals and the whatnot, then suddenly Vadim and Hutama put aside their differences and become Polyslavic or whatever they want to call it. Suddenly...

Normally when I play my Civ games, I stick to Chieftain/Settler/Wuss and remain at that level. But Beyond Earth somehow has made me move out of my comfort zone. For the past few days, I was playing a rather intense game on Vostok difficulty. I chose an Epic Duel map (grasslands), Normal Speed...

Who thinks these are overpowered? You find one, take it over and put a Warp Nexus on it. Then once you have 5000+ of a resource (easy to come by really), you simply fly to an asteroid field or a place without a Nexus, sell those resources until it costs 1 to buy or sell... return to the network...

Or IV. GAME IN PROGRESS Anyway, a group of Dwarves set out for a new land as they got tired of the previous lands. However, in this expedition of Dwarves, a few of them decided to plot murder and take the fortress for themselves. Will they succeed like has happened in previous forts, or will...

I just got back from playing a Standard Map on Citizen Difficulty (yay me for being a wimp!) where I finished my game in under an hour. I played the the Usurpers and throughout the game, I stumbled upon a boatload of Unity Rovers. Using my only Unity Foil, I managed to upgrade these rovers...

I have a few questions about the XML files of nuke plants: I want to know how I can modify the production value of the nuke plant. I want it to be able to provide 10% production to the city it is built in. I know how to remove the meltdown feature, but I don't think it sounds that much of...

Just a few minutes ago, I declared war on the Dutch. With my technological superiority, I knew I could beat them, as the difficulty was Settler... I put up a small blockade, because one of my transports is damaged from hitting those boats and my Battleship and Destroyer cannot get close to...

Although this is on Settler and an Islands Map, don't you think that this is a good starting location? Rice, two clams, Gold, cows and nearby Stone EDIT: Even better: The Corn is in range of the city, and there's a source of crabs up for grabs along with 2 Clams. The sheep is good for...

I moved up to Warlord today. Islands, Huge, Epic I was playing as my favourite Civ, Gandhi of India and I thought everything would be fine. Built Great Wall, Pyramids, Founded Hindu and Judaism, and couldn't found any more religions. Tried to focus on a mix as it was Warlord, not Chieftain...

I see all these threads about how they've lost their good units in a battle, what I am proposing is a Prisoner Of War (POW) system. Unlike Surrender or Death where the unit is on the enemy's side, a POW system is more realistic. The soldiers cannot fight and they're capturable like Workers...

Move this is this is in the wrong forum. I used the Worldbuilder and created a city in Afterworld and I was beginning to populate it and all that. I tried to create a flood plain and get the city underway. I fortified my Gravebringers a few squares away and guarded the city with combat...
