Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
I dislike the feature anyway, I'd rather create a new account than rename much of the time.
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
did u guys consider adding experience as another requirement to upgrade commander ? (would prevent com alone with 31710 shields ruining 'new' player)

I think that could be a very good idea. I love the module system but I hate playing all these games where everyone rushes to have their com at level 4 by the 10 minute mark.Wombat wrote:did u guys consider adding experience as another requirement to upgrade commander ?

Imo needs a work around or modules for other units with visibile upgrade markers for enemies (like passive upgrades like most other RTS, SC etc)
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!

Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
Nope, bad idea. Experience is earned through battle. Support commanders designed for building, shielding or other non-weapon purposes would be at a disadvantage.luckywaldo7 wrote:I think that could be a very good idea.

Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!

Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
Still find it impossible to read any text on http://planet-wars.eu/ss/SS-20110611155948.jpg
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
it has been heavily compressed.
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
on the image knorke referenced...
i find it still hard to compare visually how much is owned by which clan.
would it be possible to add some half transparent layer maybe, that would show kind of.. "territory" controlled, by using colored areas?
most simply, filling triangles red between 3 adjacent planets owned by red. in the end, it it would be a single big area with colored subparts. i think it should be easy for the mind to see on first sight which color consumes the most area.
of course this would not be perfectly accurate.

Quantum even suggested using simple vector graphics for galaxy map. And he already made such overview for planet detail screen.
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
ahh perfect!
Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
We could use shiny simple vectors, like in DEFCON:

Using insidious trade move Drone of TZI purchased all influence on the poorly defended KingRaptor's artifact planet achieving surprising technologic victory.
ZKV and IUSP clans combined had much more influence but nobody spotted Drone's plan.
Congratulations!

Re: PlanetWars online campaign BETA iz now!
Maybe you should also post on zerok homepage when new rounds start/finish and make results browsable too. If it is already there then it is hidden too good.
Those pictures are now .png but I dont know...I still can hardly read them even zoomed in:
