I meant on the space map. Possibly an asteroid field that small ships can pass through but not large ones, completely impassable tiles, tiles that can be passed through but damage ships, that sort of thing.

<r> That's a good suggestion. I can be patient while playing a game but not as much while sitting in a MP lobby; we'll see. <E>;)</E> It's a part of why City of Heroes is the only MMO I've really liked.

That's the problem. In 7 of 7 games now I have won easily with no challenge whatsoever. The AI is competent but it can't think of course. Can we ...

Someone get this guy a tag and a title [:)].

Welcome

I second the motion.

<t> Do pirates move? I haven't replayed any maps which is why I ask. I couldn't tell if they were tiles or mobiles. I'm guessing they must be mobs or people could just memorize their locations on each map.<br/>

As a sidenote, I have not detected any AI cheating whatsoever. I have not seen ...

music- I tend to mostly not notice music in games unless it's bad or absent. For the most part I haven't noticed the music in Supremacy, but there was a moment the other night when I did listen to it and I really liked it. I was on the space map at the time.

I haven't captured any units yet--been meaning to try that out. I have noticed when naming stations/planets if I type too fast it will skip letters. Very strange, indeed.

Fun game, don't get me wrong, but something strange with the way it's using dxinput perhaps?

Will it be possible to add new tile types? Nebula/gas cloud tiles and asteroid field tiles for instance, to create terrain.

So far I haven't repeated any maps, but I was wondering if pirates are preplaced as tiles or randomly generated?

I don't think "squad" movement would work too well on a grid map. Also ship movement costs resources. I haven't tried the biggest maps yet but up to 8 planets I haven't found moving ships to be tedious.

It was a ~20 minute DL for me. The download filled my 3 Mbps bandwidth. I have no idea what the problem might be but I don't think the transfer rate you're getting is normal. Perhaps it will speed up over time.

<t> At first I also found the ground battles to be really sluggish responding to mouse clicks.<br/>

I play pretty much all games with 4xAA and 16xAF turned on in drivers with great performance, including City of Heroes, Kohan 2, Sacred, etc.. I tried turning AA and AF off and got a huge ...

<t> I've played about half a dozen games and Supremacy has not crashed once. Maybe you guys should send them dxdiag reports to help them track down the bug. I'll give my specs for a reference as to what doesn't have a problem with Supremacy.<br/>

AMEN! I would really appreciate it if the game would remember the last name I used. If I want to change it I could but for the most part it would save me from having to type a name in everytime. I could just click the checkmark to use the same name as last time.

<t> I think the "steamroller effect" and AI difficulty should be handled separately. I would welcome a difficulty setting. A percentage boost to resources would probably suffice.<br/>
<br/>
I think the best way to combat the steam roller effect is two part. First, give the starter planet a boost ...

So if I buy the game tommorrow I can upgrade in a couple weeks or so and have the CD version shipped to me then?

<r> I notice some games have an option to order the CD version of a game and download the game right away. It would be nice to have that option before the CD version is ready. Basically order the game with the understanding that it won't ship for a week but be able to download and play right away. I ...

Congratulations! The announcement says download version will be available within a week. What about the box version?

We poked it with a fork, and it came out clean. Have you seen the ad in PC Gamer yet?

That sounded like a gone gold announcement...sorta. Do you have a release date?

That's good to hear. Thank you for your amazingly prompt response. Hopefully I will be playing Supremacy next month! [:)]

<t> It appears in March Supremacy was expected to release in December. There has not been an announcement for a specific date yet that I can find so I'm guessing this game has not gone gold yet and will not be released this year.<br/>

The game looks like fun. I'd like to buy it. When might I ...
