<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
If you have not yet tried it, I strongly recommend playing Supremacy with a friend either via the Internet, a LAN, or in hotseat (i.e. on the same PC) mode. Some of the most enjoyable times I had while working on Supremacy were playing it with other developers in the office ...

Hi theswitch,

Nice to see you around the forum still. Have you tried your hand at creating custom maps yet? Anything to share?

Hi Terl,

Glad to hear you're enjoying our game.

<r> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
Just a brief note, in case you didn't notice it in the other thread. The map editor download has been fixed, and both editors are now working. We appologize for the delay, but you can now redownload the editors from the link in this thread:<br/>

<t> Hi kifvan and others,<br/>
<br/>
I am sorry to hear you folks are having problems with the map editors. I've discussed it with our content designer, and a solution is in the works. He has the map editors working on his machine, so we need to get an archive of that setup to you folks. I ...

<t> I would also like to add that I check the forums daily, to address any issues/concerns/ideas people might have. So we're here, I think it will just take some time for the word of Supremacy to spread before we start seeing a lot of community activity -- it should help that we've received a bunch ...

Hi Husker50,

The map editors use the Java runtime environment (JRE), so you need to have that installed. You can download it from java.sun.com.

Hi guys,

I spoke with the person who's writing the guide for the map editor (he is the designer of all of Supremacy's maps), and he says it should be ready in a few days. I can't do much but keep checking in for you guys.

<r> Hi TheHellPatrol,<br/>
<br/>
The details of the first patch are still being worked out, and so we cannot provide any specific information about what will be included in it. However, since several of you have reported a crashing bug when moving from space combat to ground combat, that will ...

<t> Hello SuomiKp,<br/>
<br/>
Supremacy is designed to be an open-ended strategy game with great replayability. This means that while there are no scripted campaigns in Supremacy, there is an excellent one-player game, two-player hotseat game, and challenging internet game. Once the map editor is ...

Just a quick reminder - there is a live chat with one of Supremacy's Producers/Designers. It starts at 3pm EST, which is under an hour away! If you're interested head into the Matrix Games chat rooms and ask some questions.

<t> Hi ekidna,<br/>
<br/>
Supremacy: Four Paths to Power is neither derived from nor inspired by an older game by the same title. We became aware of this earlier game sometime in the middle of development, and it had to influence on our project.<br/>
<br/>
Sorry for any confusion,<br/>
Vance ...

Hi Ilthuain,

Unless it was changed after I originally implemented it, the initial player troop configuration (after sending troops to a planet) groups like unit types. It works basically as you've stated it.

<r> Hi theswitch,<br/>
<br/>
I've been poking and prodding those responsible for the map editor on your behalf. <E>:)</E> There was some technical difficulty running the map editor on a certain machine, so we've been working on figuring that out (may already be solved, I sent an email a moment ago ...

<r> A few quick responses:<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: theswitch<br/>
Q - could the interface be scalable in the future?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
The interface automatically scales as you change resolutions. If you want more screen real estate, use a high resolution (the UI will ...

<r> Hi theswitch,<br/>
<br/>
Glad you're having fun. Here are a couple responses:<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Q - is damage pre set or does it have a random factor?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Damage is a function of your attack power, hp remaining, and a bit of randomness. So healthy units ...

<r> Hi Zero G,<br/>
<br/>
First off, while I would never want to disuade someone from using our opponent-finder service, until the game is bought by more people, you're best bet is to post in the subforum here that you're looking for someone to play with (or respond to someone who's already posted ...

<r> Hi Zero G,<br/>
<br/>
The map editor should be released in the next few days, and you can certainly create very challenging map scenarios with that. For the meantime, you might consider playing against another human opponent (internet or network game perhaps) -- you might be surprised. <E ...

<t> Hi rta,<br/>
<br/>
1. Please make sure you have DirectX 9 installed.<br/>
<br/>
2. Please update your video drivers (if you haven't already).<br/>
<br/>
3. Please be sure you are running the game on a supported operating system (not Win95/98/ME).<br/>
<br/>
If it still crashes, get back ...
