1. The only visible advantage of artillery. However, most of the time artillery kills nothing.<br/>
2. Not really. Build a few tank battalions and see better results.<br/>
3. Again - casualties from artillery are almost non-existent.<br/>
4. I ...

<t> Some of you seem to be looking at artillery from a completely incorrect perspective. <br/>
<br/>
1) Unless the enemy also has artillery, you are immune to retaliation.<br/>
<br/>
2) Artillery reduces YOUR casualties. There is no better weapon for reducing an entrenched enemy unit's Readiness ...

The 1MT warheads on the Hellraiser about about equivalent to a solid round of bombardment from an artillery regiment, with the additional downside that they create radiation. Not worth it except perhaps in an absolute emergency.

<r> As I noted above, the game manual indicated that a planet with zero surface water but still having atmospheric vapor was possible. I would like to attempt such a scenario <I><s>[i]</s>because<e>[/i]</e></I> it's a challenge and because it would require the utilization of wind traps. If the game ...

To reiterate, yes it is necessary, because that is what I'm trying to achieve.

<t> I just want to chime in here again and say that I spent the better part of an hour trying to gen a planet with no bodies of water whatsoever, but I couldn't arrive at a combo that had BOTH a truly waterless surface (no ice either) AND atmospheric vapor. One of the posters above said that this ...

Thanks for the response. If there is water vapor on the world, will this be reported as a Trace Amount during planet generation?

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
The Shadow Empire manual mentions that it is possible to build Wind Traps on planets that don't have surface water, but still have trace water vapor in the atmosphere (p. 200). <br/>
<br/>
So here is the question: is it actually possible to have a planet with NO surface ...

<t> Hello all, I'm not sure if this is a technical issue or I'm just missing something. I'm running the stock latest version - no mods. For my latest game, I have corporations OFF- not sure if this is contributing to the problem, since not a single Private Investment card has appeared.<br/>

<t> Apologies for the necro. I haven't posted here in YEARS, but I have occasionally remembered this AAR (and its goofy low-res Photobucket images) with fondness. Imagine my astonishment to log in again after so long, and to see that this AAR has now earned nearly 22,000 views. I think this has to ...

Very good AAR. You are very descriptive as to what is happening, and your screenshots are clear and well presented. Looking forward to more!

Looks good. And looking forward to more.

Really good AAR. Short but very well told and presented. I read the whole thing in one!<br/>

Really like how you created the solar system<br/>

Far beyond the borders of the Republic a few desirable worlds have yet to be claimed by any empire. One such world is Erkoohos in the Dathumir system, situated to the galactic east of the Naxxilian Federation. Erkoohos will provide a highly needed source of luxury organic ...

We have finally unlocked Fusion technology. Although these first-generation fusion reactors have power output equivalent to our enhanced nuclear reactors, they are far more fuel-efficient. More importantly, they run on Hydrogen, not Caslon. This is a key development ...

Just one... the Ancient Guardians.

The next closest contender is of course the Ita Supremacy, but my tech is now surpassing them in certain areas.
