When I heard people talking about the AIs not trading techs for cash, I thought maybe the minors would still play their game...nope


This is true for 1.2 as well. Mid/late game minors will trade tech for cash. But none of the starters.

OK. Now that I've caught up... Good Morning CSF. Busy night on the thread I see. All You CSF lurkers and wanna bes... Drop on by... And I am talking about you Kazzryl.

Hey anybody got any snacks? I'm hungry... LUNCH!

And no I don't need any dead Yor. The metal and gear fluid taste funny.

Okay, I'm going to take another crack at it this morning. I guess I'll just ignore cultural attacks since they made them all but useless. That's too bad, because some wars are just so tedius I lose interest. We shall see.

MWC Statbot is simply amazing

The Chart showing my beginner game count vs Maso count does show me closing the gap.


Rank Morality Count
1 Pure Good 96
2 Chaotic Good 45
3 Chaotic Evil 1

Begs the question why I lost my pale blue face.

Wow, I'm kicking butt big time in my game now!

The top alliance (Torain/Altarian) was getting strong, so I attacked the Altarians and took them down! Now I've made peace with the Torians because they only have 2 planets, and the Arcean military was devasted against the Altarian/Torian alliance, but they have lots of planets. I decided it's a good time to hit them while their down.

The Drengin and Yor are both still around, but minor powers.

Oh, and for the first time in awhile, I'm going to be evil I think. I had some very good offers early in this game...

I can't get over how well I'm doing in this game! No cultural attacks at all either, since those are now toothless.

So down the dark path.....

I got a question for you if you play Evil do you start the Aliens with Good or Evil Alignment.

I think Evil Alignment they would attack you before you are strong enough to defend,

and Good Alignment they would attack because you are Evil.

Good question... Maybe they'll be kind enough to leave post 1000 for us?

Well maybe everybody is too busy racking up Maso wins to notice

I start the 5 original races with their original alignments. I don't know what alignment the new two races are "supposed" to be, so I put the Drath and Chaotic Evil, and the Korx or whatever they are called as Neutral.

Anyway, submitted. That game was a true military conquest, from start to finish.

First I took my my closest neighbor, the Scottlingers with 3 planets. Then I moved the the closest major race, the Drath. By now the Korx had fallen to the Altarian/Torian alliance, and I put just about the rest of the galaxy against that alliance to slow them down. It wasn't working, they had destroyed the militaries of all the other races. While I still had races alive to help me I declared war on the Altarians myself, and kept offering the TOrians a peace treaty when they tried to join to help their allies. That bug is still there because they kep taking it. Not that it mattered, they were too far away to really hurt me anyway. The Altarians had a massive military but not many planets, and their military was scattered over the entire map. I was able to take all his planets before he could retrieve them to fight me.

I then turned on the Arceans who had the next most planets, but no mlitary since they were being pounded by the Torians and previously Altarians. I mopped up all but 3 of their planets, and then declared war on the Torians who were annoying me. I finished off the Torians, then came back for the last few Arcean planets. That left the Drengin in the top left, and the Yor in the bottom right, my evil brothers!

Since 7/10 of my trade routes were in the Yor at this point, I decided to attack the more powerful Drengin first. It was just a matter of waiting for the combat transports because his military could not hurt me. It didn't last long.

I then moved towards the Yor, but for some reason he never rebuilt his military, his 3 planets had no defenses, and my soldiers were about 5-6 times better, so it was really easy.

Anyway, that was my first true military victory on Masochistic without any culture crap to weaken them first. Went very smoothly actually.

The thing I really have against playing evil is I hate the evil interface.

The dark buttons with red swirls I find annoying.

                          
#992  by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 3/14/2004 6:00:11 PM

Paguma, I noticed the races post. In the editor, it lists both of the new races as Pure Evil, but I like the Korx as Pure Good because it keeps a balance.

                      
#993  by Diplomat Technician - 3/14/2004 6:00:25 PM

992 See my level increased to painfull.

                          
#994  by Citizen damoose - 3/14/2004 6:01:24 PM

Use the keys... buddy. Forget the buttons. You could alwasy paint your screen I guess.
