Emperor of the Fading Suns Forum

Has anyone ever seen an AI player declare Emperor and win? I never have. Until today. The thing that did it, i think, was switching the B2 Palace over to Stigmata, as Intaweb suggested. I think what the AI looks for is an advantage on BS in terms of military strength before it declares. The Imperial...

yes, that's exactly it. Like the obelisk in 2002 . . .

If anyone has made FLCs of ANY of these Brom images, I'd LOVE to have them.

1) Rebel Spawning. What HDI should have done in the first place, having decided that the production/building system wasn't right for the Rebels. The Imperial Survey pages at geniocracy.com (I'm sure the URL is well know) show hotspots of dissent/rebellion on the map of each planet. Each could spawn ...

Yeah, some are failing for me too. Just google Gerald Brom. You'll be awash in glorious sci-fi cheesiness!

Well, you can lead a horse to water . . . A galaxy designer can't make players behave the way he wants them too---they have to want to.

Oops, I meant -10. Still small, but over 100 turns . . .

And I solved the Grappler problem.

COOL! Yes, I want them! (please!) Here's the URL for some other cool ones: an assassin: http://www.cale.com/brom/images/strik.jpg a Blademaster: http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/katrinchen/volume2/brom_raguel.jpg a Knight: http://www.aumania.it/fa/brom/024.jpg maybe a clergyman: http://www.aumania.it...

I don't play either Nova or Hyperion so I don't want to intrude, but just to straighten this out: all the Hyperion.exe file does is to make the Symbiots build ships. If you guys think Nova Symbiots are pansies, give it a go, but you'd all have to have it. Oh, and it ups the quantities in the Agoras ...

Intaweb: The editor and the game set up Rebel units in random galaxies differently. The game makes 0% loyal rebels, and the editor makes 75% loyal ones. Perhaps the rebel status of Symbiots is different too. Regarding the ships, you need AXE to do it but it's easy. get Matt's latest Hyperion and you...

Here's another idea, this one strictly my own! (thanks, Intaweb, for sparking my brain.) Everyone seems to agree that using captured Symbiot units is lame and unrealistic. Somebody suggested setting Biochems as an input so you have an incentive to disband them. This doesn't do anything about the &qu...

I was thinking along those lines too. But a Stigmata presence on BS would let non-Regents abuse their position as well, though not as much before the ban is lifted. The Garrison commander could build assassins and subs . . . of course if the G commander WAS assumed to be the Regent, then any undue p...

Yeah, that's not it, unfortunately. My galaxy.gal is all properly named.

it's a stumper

Whew! I'm not crazy then. Thanks!

Would be cool if they did.

Quote: 3) In the Spartan forum Matt mentions the Regent being able to control the Imperial Guard once he declares himself Emperor. This one is new to me---can you point me to a discussion of how to do this? Quote: All the Ministry forces have been tweaked, especially the Imperial Guards forces. They...

Do you mean, 'don't feed the TROLL"?

There's one under every bridge.
