Many a player have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by using superior tactics. Others have lost miserably when they were winning. My favorite 4X games would have to be the ones where you can design the units and tactically command like sword of the stars or masters of orion. I've lost a game (in sword of the stars) where the computer learned to use deflector shields to counter my missle dreadnoughts. I was winning 90% of the galaxy was mine! But those fucking deflectors took out all my missiles. Lost 60% of the galaxy, retaliated with combined arms tactics of heavy beams and missiles, won the game. 4X games are very subjective, sometimes you get fun games other times you get murdered or a boring game.Mr.Kill Ultrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268643990509769899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432771188531629231.post-23104045596468260672012-10-25T19:06:24.246-05:002012-10-25T19:06:24.246-05:00*raises hand half-heartedly*
Er... I've playe...*raises hand half-heartedly*<br /><br />Er... I've played Call To Power 2 and some Sid Meier games.<br /><br />My main problem with 4X games, or at least the ones I play, is that there always seems to be a moment when you've established your borders, your economy is sorted out, and you have smashed your enemies grand armies in a terrific battle, resulting in their loss of a hundred turns worth of building and research. Suddenly you are no longer defeatable, resulting in your long, drawn out, inevitable takeover of the world as slowly one-by-one your enemies fall before you and all they can do is send musketmen against your tanks.<br /><br />OR one of your enemies does that and everything is lost before you've reached the industrial age. The same thing can also be said for a lot of map-based strategy games. TV-Tropes probably has a word for it but call it 'The Threshold Of In4exorable Victory'.fattolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315995076317496087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432771188531629231.post-458761217465867152012-10-25T17:45:57.095-05:002012-10-25T17:45:57.095-05:00Well, that's less than one subscriber per vide...Well, that's less than one subscriber per video.

I usually don't build a big fleet very early on, but of course I do research new military techs. If someone wants to mess with me, I can whip out a brand new fleet rather quickly to make him reconsider XD<br /><br />And I don't think starbases are useless. They are awesome. I like building and upgrading them. But everytime I build one in the campaign, the Dread Lords basically send an entire invasion fleet whose sole purpose is to destroy the base.

It makes no sense to use a device for locating live wires before cutting into a wall or using nails makes for a valid detector.<br /><br />What makes matter worse is that the device is easily able to be spoofed to create fake evidence. It's even been shown that the tv show it was first used on was creating false positives. <br /><br />I'd give more credence if they were using a portable spectral analyzer. Of course those take a fair amount of expertize to even know what the meter is showing you. Keep also in mind a small Spectral Analyzer is usually about 1 foot by 1 foot because of the large screen they usually have. If you have no idea what the info it is displaying you will have no clue what you are even looking at. <br /><br />These various hand held 'ghost detectors' are basically the result of the Movie GhostBusters making people think that some handheld scanner instantly adds credibility to a paranormal investigator. <br /><br />Now for as far as his 'Ground breaking evidence' I highly doubt it's actually anything would paying money for.

Oh well every gamer has his own play-style, I tend to want to get military and weapons first. I also found that star-bases had shit weapons and hit-points and got them blown up since I don't bother to put garrisons on them. Some gamers are lucky/skillful enough to avoid pitfalls introduced in patches and changed game mechanics while others are not capable of such things. Also I never conjectured that you or I thought that star-bases are useless. +30 to morale or +30 to production or +255 to influence is fucking awesome. They are sitting ducks though (even with offensive upgrades).<br /><br />To be Truthful though, they did increase the upkeep costs and research costs. In Dark avatar I generally had 20+ guns on each ship by turn 100, in twilight 2.03, 8 guns on each ship by turn 300 while owning 9 planets in total. We also can't rule out the fact that I suck though.
