So, what motivated you to do this?
I dunno.. just wanted to
Going back to races, is there going to be e.g. more than one robot race?
Graphics: you say something on the site about animated 3d sequences....
The Robot race is a Primary racial trait.. one of the options chosen when designing your civ... it's the only robot PRT, The battles will be animated in 3d
That's gonna be frustrating to watch! pull out! pull out! the other races will have to get along killing them
Can i ask about resources?
I'm gonna have to go soon so lets try and get through as much as we can
You said there'd be 4, one global can you move the others around?
Yes
And the ai's manage that for you?
That's what freighters and mineral packets are for but you have a manual override
Does each unit have a fixed cost in types of resource?
Just thinking of maybe trying to get a galactic monopoly on something
I didn't go into depth enough with economics any happiness or moral effects then? that's what i meant about the atmosphere i'd prefer not to live in a dome, i'd be happier outside
Basically you sell the 3p res. for $$$, and the amount of $$$ you get depends on the galactic availability... stockpile one thing to drive the market price down
Ok this sounds cool
If a planet doesn't need a dome, they build regular houses... btw, domes are just a explanation for not having to worry about the atmosphere
If you have a stockpile on a planet, can I steal it :)
Yes
Good good
Any examples of how the AI is going to play?
Hard to explain
Will they think ahead at all?
Very hard
Different AI personalities?
Somewhat, but not VERY far ahead they will be aggressive, defensive, etc..
A big problem with Civ AIs was predictability copy from our review "you will be able to draw lines on the map", how is that going to work?
The AI will be quite unpredictable... there's a lot of randomization in it
How will the player use it?
It's useful for drawing border lines, and you can also have a arrow on that line which is useful for depicting attacks best of all, you can send your sketches to other players great for coordinating attacks
Hmmmmm! AI's can understand these lines then?
It sucks, but it's too hard to get them to make sense of the lines... I mean, you could draw a smiley face and screw it up
Lol
What else can you sent to someone else? mico rmanagement lists or something?
You can also send messages..
THE END
