Re: [Despaired]The search for a Space Empire V like

Re: Sword of the Stars

Well, you can always try the demo: http://www.fileplanet.com/165574/160000/fileinfo/Sword-of-the-Stars-Demo Please note, it's quite old... it was released just a bit after the 1st expansion, Born of Blood and just barely gives you a subtle idea about the current game after 3 expansions. Also keep in...

Re: Sword of the Stars

Ok, so nothing for me. Actually, you are sadly mistaken my friend. Do not be fooled by the sliders. With all the expansions, Sword of the stars: Complete collection is an EXTREMELY complex game!! The original post was made based on version 1.0... 3 expansions later... it is a game so deep and rich ...

Re: turning freeorion into an mmorpg

See also Sword of the Stars which has the ability to take over AI slots at will in Multi-player mode, and most of the other multi-player suggestions you asked for... but it's NOT MMO... and it's also NOT an RPG... lol

Have you tried Sword of the Stars with all it's expansions? It's a very solid contender here...

Well it does have RTS style combat... so I can see some of the confusion... but it's definitely turn based... ;)

Re: Eaxaw: Artwork

This is good, but I think it needs a bit more "duct taped" parts... maybe a hybrid between the 1st and 2nd sets of artwork?? Here's some other concepts of duct taped ships: http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee226/nagachief12/a799ea85.jpg http://i.neoseeker.com/a/murderofcrows/zuul_attack_...

Re: Moo3 technical error - baffling me

The natural solution would be to run the game on a single core.... But I don't really know much about these things, or how you would go about doing that. That's very simple... in windows XP anyways... simply press ctrl + alt + del. Next, click on the processes tab. Select the appropriate program fr...

Re: Sword of the Stars demo

1.5.2 is pretty much the final version of SotS + Born of Blood expansion. Play the original demo to get an idea how much work the developers have done since the game 1st went gold. Now, once you add A murder of crows + Argos Naval yard expansions... your version becomes 1.7.1!! So, you can just imag...

So you're saying the full version doesn't suck as much? I should hope not. What does it do to fix that annoying randomization feature? Well, #1... you have core technologies that are 100% for EVERY race... #2 You have tech exchange (sorta) and you can salvage technologies from your dead enemy that ...

Re: X4 = dead?

Are you getting paid to do this Zanzibar? I mean, seriously. You are advertising this game in every post you do. He also has that werd logo.... Anyways, I don't think SotS is horrible. But what I played wasn't very good either. It has a lot of good points. But overall it lacks strategic depth. The ...
