The new edition looks promising, but the Steam requirement is a deal breaker, unfortunately.

Blue Monkey I personally find it more sad than serious. My comment was just an observation and not really intended to spark a debate. So I'll just leave it at that.

Darza Your post for reference: Responses: The mod is more my notes on experimenting with changing the game. I don't keep a record of everything I change since I will alter things several times experimenting with it. I'm also a lazy record keeper. :) In each new version I tweak things...

Darza Thanks for the response. I think we are straying too far from what Gidoza was intending with this thread, and I don't want to hijack it. So I will answer you more specifically on the thread for my mod.

He'll be back. ;):lol:

The river generating programing in the random map generation is garbage. A way around this is to mod the things that require rivers so they no longer require them.

Darza I have not played a stock game of MOO2 in several years (except a few turns of one somebody posted who was doing story line about it). I play a mod that is quite a bit different from the stock game. You don't seem to have read much of what I wrote, either. Or else you would have known...

Gidoza I like your idea about beams getting better as you travel up the tech tree. In the game, the beams do hit better as you advance up. A Gauss Cannon does hit better than a Mass Driver. But the improvement isn't enough to balance out a poor computer and lack of hitting specials. I think...

Gidoza Battle scanner is a must for beams, it's a major programing fail that this wasn't incorporated into their AI ship design templates. I have seen the AI use some of the later specials affecting beam weapons, but it seems they prefer the defensive specials more than the offensive. Thanks...

Glad the info is of use. The site does have it's navigation peculiarities. :) From the home page, http://www.combinedfleet.com/kaigun.htm scroll down to the (TROM) section. You can then select the general ship class and then it should show individual ships arranged by their class. Clicking on...

That's odd, each ship of the Fubuki class I checked showed where she was around mid 1942 (except those that had been sunk by then): http://www.combinedfleet.com/lancers.htm Are you sure you were looking in the right place on the site? The ship movement tabulation is one of the most useful...

The AI ship design program probably is programed to prioritize certain ship specials and avoid others. Troop pods are not very useful specials, I cant remember seeing them used by any AI before. So maybe the AI isn't programed to use that special. They do build ships with transporters, and...

To tell you the truth, it may be wrong about using decimals in the racepick costs. The tool I use to change these is called pickhack.exe. and I just checked to see whether it would do decimals, and it does. I might have tried to do this and found it didn't work in the game back when I first...

Gidoza Welcome to the forum. Don't own a Mac, never have, so what help I may be able to provide will be limited. I cant remember ever seeing mods for the Mac version, either. I just had time to take a look at your race traits doc. in your list. Some interesting things there. One thing that we...

El Justo What's the "X" rating at the bottom right for? Is that part the "top secret" material reserved for VIP review only after hours? ;) Nice job, BTW. Ahhhhh...but they look so much better from the front. :D
