Re: High level design thoughts

I agree, Empire of the Fading Suns was one of the greatest Wargames ever on the PC along with Moo2 and SEIV.

It had the focus on planetary developement AND planetary combat, while space combat...

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

Well, I hope you go the way of "small numbers" and not 500 Million or so.

MOO2 showed that managing abstract population icons are much better than dividing population numbers in small...

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

It depends how much understanding the game makers have about the basic mechanics of a good turnbased game. For example Edi said it already. If you ever played age of wonders, there where 2 different...

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

"Fairness" is just an hollow word and its a straw man argument. In reality of game design it depends entirely on the quality of the ruleset if something is fair or not.

Or do you imply that...

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

Great, a new 4x game in the works. Bravo! :up:

I am a big Fan of Space Empire IV (but not SEV because of the real time combat and the IMO unnecessary 3D engine) and MOO2.

What I think the new...

Re: Realtime or turnbased tactical combat?

I agree that SEIV is stupid in this respect. But with the change of some rules, there could be found a proper solution for this problem without the need to change to realtime. A rule designer have...

Re: Realtime or turnbased tactical combat?

Thats good to hear. Ok, its not what I would really prefer (a similar system to MOO2 but with sligthly improved graphics) but its better than the standard realtime system I assumed in my first posts....

Re: Realtime or turnbased tactical combat?

No, sorry to say that it does not settle my concerns. For example Captain Kwok writes that it is possible to pause the game every x seconds. Well this means that I have to press the pause button...

Douglas,
You mean you have infos about the way the realttime tactical combat will be?

Re: Realtime or turnbased tactical combat?

The primary reason for switching to realtime combat was for play balance. In SEIV, the turnbased nature of combat gives a HUGE advantage to whoever gets to shoot first, which is usually determined...

Re: some questions about SEIV

Thanks for your answer. Did you ever play a single tactical combat with in about 130-150 ships and 600+ fighters? Then you should encounter the same problem. I am sure that this is a kind of...

I really dont like the way SEIV displays the "names" of upgraded ships. The window at the right do only show the original shipclass. This is an unnecessary information. The game should display the...

Re: Ionic Disperser do not work in 1.91

Re: Usefulness of the bigger mounts
