ACDG5: Demogame, anyone (especially newbies)?

[Mart]

Testing first setup, but I already have more than 10 things to correct.
The map is already done, only minor changes are needed, but I still have to see late game to know more.
I should be doing the second trial game this weekend.

Thanks.

Once you know the initial visible squares for our faction, a screenshot could keep us occupied.

Just FYI, my video card died. I hope to get my PC going asap but I might not be able to post the next few days.

Here is the file:

And by the way, as you might already be aware, it's a Mac game save file.

Bodissey,

Thanks.

In the preferences menu, change to NO tutorial messages, NO design units automatically and NO autosave each turn.

Move one of the colony pods south.

Save the game as "practice, 2100mid1.sav."

Zip the save, label it "practice, 2100mid1.zip," and post it.

In your post, be sure to briefly summarize what happened, i.e.

"Moved 1 CP S"

What is your operating system?

I just edited my post. I play on Mac OS X.

It was the matter of fact way that it was stated: "of course the Angels had to be so stupid."

The "of course" hurt!

I apologize for any emotional distress caused.

[Bodissey]

As requested,

• I changed the prefs,
• I moved the CP one space south..

There is no Mac/Win bug in SP, only in MP.

In your applications/utilities folder, there is an application called Grab.

I'd like you to do a screen capture of your desktop using Timed Screen Capture (this will produce Untitled1, then use Selection Capture to take a piece of the first screen capture ("Untitled2"), and save Untitled2 as "grabtest." Make sure your box is around 600 pixels wide ('poly won't accept anything over 800 pixels wide).

This will produce a TIFF file (which can't be uploaded on Apolyton).

In Preview (located in your Applications folder), open grabtest.TIFF, Save As grabtest.JPEG (be sure to adjust FORMAT to JPEG) and set quality to least.

Post grabtest.jpg.

I've posted mine.

Well done.

Now build a base with the unmoved CP and move the scout 1 space SW and pop the pod.

Save the game as "practice, 2101end.sav", zip the save as "practice, 2101end.zip" and post.

Be sure to briefly summarize (especially the results of pod pop!)

Do you play SMAC under Classic or have your downloaded an OS X version from Firaxis or from Brad Oliver's blog?

The truth hurts most of all!

Do you have an answer my question about naming individual units?

[Bodissey]

"Here you are, my master…"

I play with a Carbon SMAC and a Carbon SMAX which I downloaded from the Brad Oliver's blog, to my recollection.

Turn Summary
We popped 50 energy credits from a Unity Supply pod!

And U.N. Heaquarters will issue a new Scout Patrol next turn, although we could rushbuild the Recycling Center right now.

And here is the save.

Maniac, Was it much trouble naming individual units?

How do you mean, trouble? Do you mean if it was hard to keeo track? If so, not in the early game, but the more the game progressed and the more units there were, the harder it became to keep track of what unit was were. I think units weren't named anymore in the end, but I don't know for sure - I more or less stopped participating after the Angel suicide.

Did we start playing already?
