<t> Absolutely, we refer to that as yaw and bearing. I might have a bearing of 180 and a velocity of 2000m/s, but I could be facing ninety degrees port or starboard of my vector.<br/>
That is very handy, and often necessary in fleet engagements, especially for the flank guards.<br/>
Add to that ...

<t> I also agree with Dan about the 3D.<br/>
I insisted on 3D at first.<br/>
Once we started to experiment with task force sized fleets, ie a battleship and appropriate support, the game quickly became complicated enough that I shut up.<br/>
The thing to remember always is that everything is ...

One other real nice thing about this game, is the minimal time commitment.
I am working two jobs right now and cannot commit to a game of ATG.
I can usually come up with an hour or two a week and that is it... this game works well for that.

<t> I personally feel that Dan should keep making the game more user friendly and not bother with AI. Right now, The game is playable and fun. In this game, a particularly difficult decision is whether to shoot early and try pick off your opponents lasers, or to wait and try to give him the "meat ...

Think Asteroids, but these asteroids gather into groups and shoot back!

<r> I have played a couple of games with Dan through the development process.<br/>
This game is stinkin fun!<br/>
It is very difficult to perform a credible fake with Newtonian physics dictating every movement, and fake you must, in order to achieve superior concentration of force at the decisive ...

Sorted, thanks Lazy!

Hi Vic, could you please help?
I have reloaded my windows, and I cant find anywhere to download the game file. I have my serial number.
Any thoughts?
Meanie.

Horses consume supplies, it is not much, but everything adds up in this game. Don't put them on units unless you actually need the mobility.
Try not to do anything for nothing, or put another way, try to have more than one good reason for everything that you do.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>But your distribution hub sends reinforcements to your combat HQs, right? Which lowers the staff experience? So you don't really save anything there, other than perhaps controlling when the experience hit happens. <br/>

I ask because I've tried something similar, and ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>If you are so paranoid that you suspect everyone of cheating, that is your problem.

Direct distribution is what happens when you assign a city or group of cities directly to a combat HQ.<br/>
This method ...

<t> Hi guys,<br/>
We have started to use halftracks extensively in our multiplayer games.<br/>
In the early game, I just transfer 3 rifles out of a garrison unit and drop a halftrack on it and presto chango, we have a moble unit with decent recon that retreats with small losses. These units help ...

<t> I wish to clarify something. I am not implying in any way that a person who edits a game is likely to cheat. I, and most of the guys that MP would agree, feel that if the game creator does not edit anything, then there cannot possibly any suspicion of ill-doing. Even the slightest wiff of ...

<t> That is why this is a "wishlist".<br/>
The discussion on guerrillas needed to be a discussion on it's own, as know one really seemed to understand them until we took them mainstream, in a big game.<br/>
The rest of my mutterings are merely my opinion, and the rational behind them.<br/>
I ...

<t> Quite often when a suggestion is made to change the game (for better or worse), it is pointed out how easy it is to do it in the editor.<br/>
First thing wrong with that, is I like to spend my game time gaming not learning how to edit the game, but that is just me.<br/>
More importantly though ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I think it is pretty well-documented that research is too expensive in most MP games, and that very few research options are ever pursued. I think the problem is with PP's.
