It must be your first attempt in the game in order to be counted in standard competition.That's not cool: we can't try different strategies! :-\
You can try different strategies. Just when playing for the first time, use the one you consider the best strategy. Your next tries will be for consolation standings.It must be your first attempt in the game in order to be counted in standard competition.That's not cool: we can't try different strategies! :-\
*Because subsequent tries are easier, AI most likely repeats its moves, you know what to expect when playing for the second time.Easier, easier...

Mart? These two are our core audience. If they want to play your work over and over after the first run, you've succeeded, and I see no reason to not just change the rule on the fly...
Next time, at least?
After downloading/installing 3.5 and 3.5d, the game says it's version 3.5cI have the same, 3.5c when I use 3.5d exe file.
Error in patch or error in Vishniac, could someone confirm?
The Gaians have initiated the Ascent To Transcendence."Another question with a slight spoiler
God; this, finally. "Where?"

[Edit]
Added version for unmodified alphax.txt, which should work with Firaxis patched exe files, and any version, that did not modify alphax.txt file
patches by: scient, kyrub. Also official, like Planetary Pack, GoG, etc.
GOTM1804[UA]
UA stands for Unmodified Alphax.txt
Installation and checking is the same.
= = =
- Do not change folder name of GOTM1804 to any other, or change the structure of the folders/files inside after you start the scenario, and
- Do not remove the folder GOTM1804 from scenarios after you started to play. That would screw up the game.Well the Thinkers didn't say that in the selection dialog box, so I'm guessing there's some text that didn't get changed.
Umm I switched between 2 different laptops due to running out of battery power, in MY 2371. They both had GOTM 1804 installations on them, but slightly different toplevel directory naming conventions, due to different times I installed Yitzi on the machines. I think you're saying that when I switched machines, the main alphax.txt got used, not the scenario alphax.txt? ...
Other main change is, that research rate is down to 20%, this is why we have meaningful late game, it does not rush with 1-2 techs per turn.
If you were giving +6 research for Thinkers, but I was only getting +3, doesn't that mean I exceeded the difficulty of the scenario? As in playing with a handicap. If the only substantial change was a penalty against me, I think my time should stand. But, I don't know what else you changed.
Oh well! And if tech is that slow, I have no idea how Kyrub managed his time.
And it's Kirov.
Also making Aerospace Complexes free to maintain, is a pretty cheap shot, given what you did to fusion labs, tree farms, and hybrid forests. So now I know the basic secret to Kirov's success: for whatever reason, he happened to make Aerospace Complexes and go the Orbital Power Transmitter route. And I'm betting pretty early on. You made a "golden path" one way, and an egregious "tar pit" the other way. Mart, how about next time you just tell players about these kinds of major changes, instead of griefing them?
I value my ability to make choices as a player, which means, those large sucky fungus beds and dry patches of land are getting terraformed.
They often died on missions, which I think is a bit stupid for having +4 Probe. I couldn't seem to frame Deirdre for theft either. My team would succeed, but but they'd still be allied and unruffled. I wonder if Yitzi changed probe team behavior in some way?
Stop making things up about my game, you always get it wrong.
It seems you don’t really know what happens in a good gameplay.
Of course I had those Tree Farms up and running very quickly,
in this scenario it’s crucial to popboom early, grab that Governor office and put the Trade Pact in place ASAP.
An average player could school you about that.
QuoteI value my ability to make choices as a player, which means, those large sucky fungus beds and dry patches of land are getting terraformed.This is a preposterous statement.
A good score is clearly beyond your reach and it’s you, not Mart, who is wasting your time.
As for access to information, in my first attempt I knew much less than you do now.
On the face of it, it seems irrational that first you blame Mart for wasting “5 hours” of your time and then proceed to play it over and over with made-up conditions
and that you have actually yet to prove that you are NOT the worst active player alive.
In particular, it seems you need to find out about the clean mineral limit and how to collect much more than 20mins/turn per base.
You will never win against humans at such a cap.
There’s one thing I commend about you – your commitment. I used to live and breathe SMAC for many years and I love the fact that this game still maintains its alluring charm. So keep playing, but also keep growing. If you change your tune, I can help you vastly improve your performance.
As for framing, there's one very little known fact that to make a frame attempt successful, you can't be at Vendetta with the victim of your probing mission.

Joy.
Things like this make me think that most of a game's rules should have source code available. I read the "decompliation coordination" thread last night. All that heroism from at least 4 people, did not result in sustainable effort over the long haul.
I wonder if the Civ IV ecology is any improvement.
If they insisted on having this rule, what they should have done is make it impossible to attempt a frame job, that cannot possibly succeed. As well as saying, "you can't frame because you have a vendetta". Not good game design. Oh well, not everything in such a large game will be optimal. Nor maintained over the product's life cycle. Hence the need for source code to be available.
And this kind of thing makes me wonder why I should be singled out for 'rudeness'. Although, it was in a different thread on a different subject.
When you don't disclose what you did, how would anyone know? I actually wondered if you had just cheated your way through the thing somehow.
I recently play only Caveman2Cosmos civ4 mod, from time to time. It is in the making for many years now, but for several years it is quite good in early game. And since maybe 2012, I only was able to reach Classical era only, starting from: Prehistoric->Ancient->Classical, I think it is like that. So the game complexity is tremendous there, but it can give a civer really enjoyable game.
Civ4 is like that, I remember reading about optimization of trade in that mod, but I am not sure what is the current state over there. They probably got something better, since standard maps play ok in Classical era.
Another thing, who would mod Planetfall further? After many years mostly people need to change their project.

I'm ready when you are.
