You played Beginner and jumped to maso... no wonder you got creamed, try crippling or painfull first that will teach you most of what you need for maso without mashing you up too much

There are lots of tricks to win Maso.

There are actually walk throughs in most of the Empire Threads.

1) Early Game expand as fast and as must as you can.
Spending should be set to 100 % and taxes to give you 100 %
moral.

2) Save the game, enable cheat keys, find a good starting position, and restore saved game.

3) Diplomatic Bonus helps dealing with Aliens use you 10 points to give you a 50 or 60 % diplomatic bonus.

Consider using research.inc party.

4) If the Aliens starting going hositile bribe them to be your friend.

5) After you got all the systems you can get stop build ships
build wonders, planet improvements and research...

6) Trade with minors for all the techs you can as long as the are around.

Also the you are interested a succession game should soon start on the Diplomat's Forum the Embassy.

Players take turns on a game posts results.

Also you can ask questions, browse maso guides...
on this board.

FYI I was playing beginner games at the start of this year.

What I did is read for tips, increased my level until I reached maso.

As I disembarked from my shuttle after the completion of the invasion and surveyed the ruins of this ancient Drengin city one thing became clear to me. War is cool. Not less than a hundred yards to my left, a hungry moose was ecsatic with delight, screaming something about never going hungry again. Strange. I moved off the ramp toward a smoldering hulk of a Drengin corvette and peered into the cockpit. The officer was incinerated by an unfortunate lucky shot from a Terran disruptor. I noticed behind him, mounted to the bulkhead was a ccm hockey stick. Right handed. It was then I began to wonder. Were we wrong?

More to come......

The suspense is going to kill me. Snacks like stories.

I got a response from carielf about my crashing problem this weekend.

"Congratulations, you found a very rare and unusual bug."

It really made me wonder what was unusual about it!


                        
#3711  by Citizen Evil Druid - 7/20/2004 6:46:32 PM

Paquma the entomologist. How lucky to find such a rare and unusual bug.

Some people have all of the luck.

Moser hands Paguma a can o' bugspray!

Well, since I can finally finish that game I started on the weekend. It's not submitted...


                        
#3714  by Citizen NewfyScotian - 7/20/2004 10:20:52 PM

Newfy said to stop by and say hi... so HIIIII!!!


Hi Chris, stop by more often. We will still consider you a CSF member when you are in KIWI land.

Takodoe take a look at this http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?id=69135&BID=GS&page=1#176776 Link There is a basic strategy that I use when playing Tiny/Maso/Rare/tight.


Somewhere in this forum I posted my strategy for tiny/rare/tight maso. But the search engine for this forum sucks and I can't find it. I only play the tiny game because my computer is extremely slow. I can get a game finished in about 2 hours if I am lucky. Some people that play large/huge MASO are able to get them finished in less than an hour. I have heard rumors that there is a strategy that can get a game finished in about 1/2 hour. I do not believe it but ... you never know.

Personally, I still find that a game with the AI selected to give NORMAL skill level is more challenging than any other type of game. My reasoning is I like war and not diplomacy. When playing this game I do not trade or culture bomb. I fight with everyone. Sometimes they surrender or offer bribes. I feel this is more fun than the wimpy style of culture/diplomcy and trading them to death. So the question is why do I play MASO? right now I do find it challenging and I am starting to get into battles. There is a bit of luck in winning due mostly to a good start.

Perhaps I will return to normal every once in a while to get that true military victory feeling.

Yes, I am back from my vacation and I am very tired. I may play a game tomorrow but I have a lot of RL and outdoor work todo.

Congrates to Technician on his first place position

Paguma, I hope that Carielf fixed your problems. You should get a purple heart for that rare bug!

                          
#3717  by Citizen Takodoe - 7/21/2004 1:48:00 AM

Thanks Loads Newf! That's going to help alot!!

                      
#3718  by Citizen Takodoe - 7/21/2004 2:06:23 AM

........."ADMIRAL!!" The out of breath commander shouted from the shuttle pod door. "There's a priority one communique coming in. For your eyes only sir!"
I tore myself away from the wreckeage of the Drengin Corvette and ran back to the pod passed the still extatic Moose. "Dissmissed commander." I said to my Number One, entering the cockpit and entering my security clearance to accept the transmission. What I saw terrified me.
While this invasion was under way, a Drengin task force had made a quick, deadly strategic attack on Earth. My heart sunk as I read the report. The damage was total, key personnel were taken and all invaders left the Sol system with very low losses. I shed a tear as I closed the report and archived it. The Drengin Empire dealt a severe blow to all of mankind and committed an attrocity that would never be forgiven. After this day........there would be no more Molsen Breweries on Earth.......


More to come....

Say it ain't so ...

Newf goes to the crypt fridge puts the last 27 cases and 1 bottle of Canadian under lock and key.

Installs the life size hologram of a drooling Damoose outside the door. This special hologram recylces once every 4.5 hours. That should fool everyone.

The sensor will also detect if the real damoose enters the room and turn off the hologram. Thus no one will ever know if it is a hologram or a damoose patrolling.

Newf then proceeds to the BioEngineering department with one Molsen Canadian and commands them to reverse engineer the recipe or become SNACKS

                          
#3721  by Citizen NewfyScotian - 7/21/2004 6:56:26 AM

Special bulletin:

Be aware that some unscrupulous characters are relabelling Bud light to look like Molsen Canadian. Rumour has it that the people doing this heinous deeds are Weyrleader and Exhalted Druid. Perhaps this is a shameless attempt to further demoralize the CSF for snack attempts on their persons.

The CSF can not be blamed for SNACKing for it is our nature and a beer soaked snack with its back turned is ... well ... a tempting sight!

Oh, oh, ED, they are on to us. Weyr quickly picks the lock on the fridge (those undead don't know a thing about locks) and grabs a box or two, ignoring the hologram that looks more like a drooling errr...., well, whatever, and quickly makes for the exit.

True, very true, but we do know snacks and what makes people want them!

Damoose sent me a private email and changed the location of the beer. Then he stole your stash of bud light that was disguised as Molsen Canadian and put 27 cases plus 1 beer in the lockup.

We do not mind you drinking stuff that even gives Labatt Blue a good name!
