People still play Age of Kings. People finally figured out the code, now they made an unofficial expansion, Love that game. ES is dead, but their strategy blockbusters live on So it's not like a terribly bad year. Then again only RTS' I ever was willing to play and keep playing besides Age of...

a fan made expansion to age of empires 2. Fixes bugs, compatibility issues, basically all the stuff a patch does. It also expands the game with civs, techs, campaigns, and DECEMBER is the release date. forgottenempires.net/december-release-month/ forgottenempires.net/release-events/ Im...

Hi, I've got a thought. You guys know how theres (sort-of) an effective range and then a maximum range, wherein the effective range denotes the range you can reliably hit, while maximum is closer to you firing wildly and hoping it hits? (Example: At 200 yards Archer can pick out the enemy. At...

I have two games going with this race. I'm not sure how the first is going, but the second i tried to win the council vote without firing a shot "Walk softly, but carry a big stick". 2 votes short the first time, 12 the second, and then war! Fail lol. Doesn't really matter, Even the largest AI...

Uni is a cheap pick. The only negatives are 15 turns to assimilate, and missing out on morale - Considering the bonuses of 15% better agents, 50% to food/prod, and not suffering from morale penalties, it's too cheap. But we still love it Also funny you should mention that race, since I asked...

I've a new race, and it's the nastiest production race I ever devised. Take unification, Production +2, Rich Home World, Aquatic, and Large home world for the positive picks. For negatives, it won't matter too much if you stick to the usuals. Repulsive, -combat, -def, - spy. To play this race...

I had trit armor. Reinforced hull I'm sure, I rarely miss that since I always get factories. Cyber comp, mb emg mb not, high energy focus, auto fire ion pulse cannons. But my ships, as best as I remember: AF Ion, Battle scanner, cyber comp, a few lasers for starbases, and high energy focus. Also...

so how does the combat rolls work anyway? Something I never really understood. Heavy Gravity and Powered armor add hits, which is simple for me to understand as: Even if their marine wins, yours gets another roll. If enemy's can survive one hit only, then there is no attrition. If they are also...

I don't get to hear that one much, but this game was a struggle from the start. I decided to use some sort of tech turtle strat, and named my race "Turtles", green psilons. My ultimate plan was to have superior computers, ion pulse cannons with high energy focus with battle scanners, and have...

I can't tell if it does or not. I'd appreciate knowing if it's something that automatically upgrades your marines attack rating or only for loading onto planets. Never mind. I'm pretty sure it does. . while we're on the topic, does anyone know what affects getting techs from invaded planets...

Strange that you can't build ships till you get nuclear drive. I can build ships with the Extended fuel cells and titanium armor researcg area. (I think its the armor. can't refit unless I research colony ship, but hey, I get 4 movement, 4 out of 4 structure and 4 out of 60 armor when I check...

The Irakla, Alkari race pic. They are a militaristic warlord offshoot of the Alkari.. I added transdimensional and uncreative, warlord. Due to their transdimensionality and ruthless attitude, they've become rather repulsive in speaking. Their uncreativeness stems from their reliance on the...

Let the Antarans build up, and then attack Antares or let them come for you! Mind you, they're pathetic for a while but send decent ships later. Takes too long imo Play as uncreative. On impossible. Adapt tactics with your weird tech. Vary your games. Let the eels spawn. Spy and frame the...

hey I have been using the option click to get the moo2 help on everything.. but not enough information is there So. Does a race bonus like +50 defence affect an interceptor? Does a leader in the fleet with +1 navigation increase the combat speed of interceptors? Will ship crew experience...

Thx, Ill build more warships. To clarify, part of the problem was that the computer trades techs around like crazy and getting zortium phasor plasma before me. I end up dominating on advanced, but on average or pre warp starts I have troubles. The space monsters show up too infrequently and too...
