I'm no fancy programmer type, but wouldn't be easier to just set a priority list. Like say, you want giants as your top priority so then a list would look like this: Priests Angels Catapultasauri Giants Tower health #1 ... Having the list continue down as necessary. In this scenario they'd prioritize buying the units followed by everything else on the list in the order you specify. Let's say they can't buy angels because the war score isn't high

I'm always in the single player and/or LAN play (usually just with my brother against AI). I just find that I don't care how long my games take or if I'm not doing things with the most efficiency. If I went into an online match I'd surely tick my team off. It's been this way since my first RTS Age of Empires 2. The only game I've ever played online was Starcraft and that was only to play Evolves, if anyone remembers what that was, and the... hrm, I can't recall what it was called, but

So I was looking at Rooks list of achievements and seen "Kill 10 Demigods with Hammer Slam in a single game" or something along those lines. I boot up a single player game and focus on Hammer Slam. Long story short; I get 29 kills by the end of the game, more than 50% of them with Hammer Slam. Yet I didn't get the achievement. Anyone know why?

I don't like pirates just as much as the next guy and blaming the economy for not spending is a weak foundation to stand on. The thing is, if people aren't spending the economy becomes stagnant and are only adding to the problem. Just something to consider.

I know you're all hard at work on getting things like this fixed. Just needed to vent after almost getting all of UB's achievements twice now and losing them. *sad panda* Was that part of the .055 update or moving them later? Not that it really matters as I'll be playing the game either way, just curious.

First I lose my profile due to some unhandled exception (never did get a response on how to fix that) and now all my achievements are gone after I recreated the profile again. What's the point in these things if I can't keep them for more than two days?

I've ran into a few bugs now too, some other people have seen and some that I can't find anyone else has ran into. All in all, I really like the game, just disappointed that the game isn't running smoothly. I can't say I've actually seen anyone in here answering people's questions either which comes as a surprise. Just other players verifying the same problem or problems not getting any responses.

Had just gotten done with a game, went to look at my achievements, and I got an unhandled exception error. It gave me a log, I closed that, ran the game again like I normally do after I get an error, and the game was acting like I had never played it before and wanted me to create a profile. Did that and seen that my profile had been wiped. Know how I can pull up that log again and paste that into here to make it a little easier for you to know what happened?

Was just doing a tournament in single player and we were losing, even though it had been a close game the first 30min. And then I realized why. All three of my CPU allies were just sitting in town not doing anything. Even after the enemies pushed me back into my camp my allies would still just sit there and not attack or do anything. I don't know what the problem was and my only guesses are one of three things: The enemy was 6-7 levels higher than they were, all war effort upgrades we

I've only been playing single player as of now until I feel like I've got the basics of this game down and tinkered with the different Demigods. When setting up a game it'll show a color next to each Demigod but I can't figure out a way to change my color. I'm not liking having to be yellow all the time.

I haven't been to these boards since April but I remember seeing a post that showed profile picture replacements they were working on. I know it's vague, I want to say that among the pictures was one that looked like Solid Snake and another that looked like Mila Jovovich. If anyone happens to know which one I'm talking about, was that ever finished?

Hey thanks for the responses. I just put 100% production and kept them just barely at or a little above 70% happiness for a long time and kept keeping it at 70% until I was exhausted of funds. Everything you all mentioned were things I was doing. Except for leaving spaces open. I always want to push planets for everything they're worth. I'll give the Yor another go without cramming planets up though and see how that works.

Have a 10 meg connection here and even before the tweaks I was getting 1mb download speeds. Now I'm getting around 1.3-1.4 and I love it. It was one of the first things I noticed about SDC when I downloaded Sins. Hardly any sites let people download that quick and I'm impressed. Definitely the first place I'd look to when wanting to download a game.

I did do the economic techs early. 4% taxes. 6 population on all planets other than the capital planet. Guess the only thing I'd be able to adjust from there is not constructing buildings right away. Thanks for the responses.

Am I missing something with these guys? I've been trying to figure out how to play with them and I just can't figure it out. My morale is always dropping like a rock, causing people to leave, which then lowers my income, and low income means I can't support ships. I do put one of those morale, one a planet improvements on them but morale just goes *BOOOM* and dead. We're talking within the first 20-30 turns this is happening in. Any suggestions or should I just stick with races I understand? &gt

Played a game just now and it crashed (not concerned as I've been crashing every now and then before ToA). Loaded up the quicksave game and noticed that the way the prebuilt ships have an auto upgrading feature now (which I love because I constantly forget to upgrade ships myself after researching new techs) actually caused me to have two copies of the same ships. To clarify, I had a Stary Fury M6 and a Star Fury M8 on the same list. All the ships that use this upgrading feature did t

Thanks for the responses. How do I check if there's a moon on the planet? I can't say I've ever recognized them. Didn't know about the rings on the planet being better for research, that'll help out. I never find asteroids except for the ones that start by everyones home planet. Is it possible to blow up the planets that can't be colonized to make asteroids? I think I read a thread about people talking about it and I know events that do it. I almost always pick neutral. Never t

Is there any info I should be looking at to know what a planet will excel at? Outside of bonus tiles I've noticed that I have say, 2 class 4 planets and build the same exact structures on them, and we'll assume that neither has bonus tiles. Now, one ends up with 40 military production and another has 26, both receiving their social production bonus. Obviously that one getting 40 production is/was better off at being a production planet. The other one? I don't know, could it

In just one game on a random 4 player map on Unfair difficulty I encountered all of these in one sitting, so I imagine they can't be too hard to reproduce. I kept telling myself I'd save the replay and then totally forgot once the game finished. Sometimes when ships are told to go to a planet they will and then turn around and immediately go back to the planet they came from. I had an asteroid and the enemy had a desert planet I had been trying to siege, when I finally took it and tol
