First of all, thanks everybody in the development team for this great game, I just discovered it (where have I been the last 10 years?
) and I'm simply amazed at how good it is, and it's only a .43 release!I've got a somewhat older windows PC, so to be on the safe side my first game had 50 star systems & 4 AIs, which I'm very pleased to say I managed to vanquish after 'some' struggle and 'not a few' hairy moments.
When it happened, however, I totally missed the historic moment. I didn't notice anything inside SitRep, and since there were a couple of (previously unhinabited) gas giant systems out of scanners range which my scientists informed me could have been terraformed & transformed into strongholds of the Panarchy!
I madly rushed there with the nearest available ships, to get at least some info on the pending - and dreaded - sneak attack!
Nothing there after all, but there were plenty of red faces all 'round at my general staff meeting that day, I can tell you that!
Are there plans to have a 'Victory!' pop up message after defeating all enemy empires?
I seem to remember in MOO there was a 'congratulations' pop up whenever a victory condition was achieved.
Maybe a few words from the empire archivists would be fitting for FO too.
I've also noticed (but not researched yet) the singularity of trascendence tech: its byline reads 'Brings Victory!'.
I'm assuming that when the tech research is complete FO will indeed show a pop up and declare the game won. Maybe the same pop up could be used in both cases (and for other victory conditions too, of course).
Anyway, for my second game I'm playing a 150 stars galaxy, 8 AIs game, and I'm close to turn 300, and things have started to slow down terribly, I just searched the forum and found the Speeeed! thread, which led me to discover the 'nighty builds'. I'm now downloading 7278-test. I'll check things out with that version of FO, and will write on the Speeeed! thread anon!
Cheers,
Mike
