FG: Galactic Overlord 4: No Cowboys Allowed.

[Spaced Cowboy]

oh and I wasn't tired, just trying to finish up a half day at work so I could spend the rest of it on the links.

okay looking it over, bonus.... yours is the only one that is fu'd up.

I will redo your battle in the morining....as far as losses were concerned, I take losses from the ships in the line that had losses, and if I run out, then I move down the line (at the end of the three battles).

We are on a one day delay for me to figure it out. The update will be up early ~8AM CST, I do not have the files at home. (Man that was weak).

[Skanky Burns]

Orders in now.

[GeneralTacticus]

Well if thats the case I didn't lose any frigates at all, they all just lost 1 hp each

Thankfully, it doesn't work that way. Damaged ships only come about if there aren't enough hits left to actually destroy a ship.

As for the rest; I second Kuciwalker's request for the battles to be put in code blocks; they're basically unreasable otherwise. If all else fails, you might just want to take a combat from a previous game and use it as a template; that's what I did.

[GeneralTacticus]

Orders sent, btw.

[GeoModder]

Thank you for the honesty, Whoha. It appears I'll survive another few rounds.

Someone tell me again why the ships' hitpoints need to be doubled. It looks to me that doing so confuses combat calculations more then the benefit players get out of it.

Spaced, it looks like you missed my orders in your inbox...

[DrSpike]

So we are waiting for the corrected first round? Ok, I'll send orders after that. Don't want to confuse the GM.

[Skanky Burns]

Hitpoints were doubled when combat rounds were doubled. This way battles would not end up as "every dies, again" affairs, at least not to the extent they would have been.

[GeoModder]

And single round combat was dismissed because... ?

[Skanky Burns]

Too greater chance that one fleet would perfectly pick tactics to destroy the other fleet.

[GeoModder]

Mmm, I'm more in favour of 'empires' lasting longer. I think it would be better to let an attacker gain a base if his losses are less then the defender. But that's just my opinion.

It comes offen over surreal that a fleet combat covers ALL bases from the defending empire all at once.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, I've corrected the battle. Whoha still loses all of his fleet and has one more BP, geo loses and extra LD.

I'll process what I have, xcept for Doc's order of course.

[GeoModder]

Yow!!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Everybody's orders are in, except DrSpike and LJ.

[Ljube]

My orders will be in in three hours.

[Ljube]

Orders will be in tomorrow morning.
