I have beat Eric and Elliot again! hehe!

Combat is looking good... bit of an off tangent question though.

Does the music in the Combat video come from the game? I really like it, and it really helps the atmosphere when watching the video (and as an extension, when playing the game! [:)])



dingbat911 -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 12:10:09 AM)

XD I wish I knew!

I best mention at this point before I get asked a plethora of questions cause I got the video up. I have no relation to Code Force or Matrix games(though feel free to make offers [:D] ), I just have the youtube account subscribed!

However I am interested myself, as it is pretty awesome music, Care to enlighten us :P

Now that was impressive.

Good Hunting.

Another question:
Are the scrollbars (1:50 in the video) the same as in the release-version?
I think they are a bit out of style, as everything else is black and there are only these windows-standard-scrollbars.
Same with the dropboxes.



ASHBERY76 -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 12:23:56 AM)

The actual Combat looks a bit fast and spammy,but with the scale of the game it is kinda expected.The setting up of ship design and supply is where the depth lies.

I do not like that you get those huge buffs from conquering Aliens.It should be scaled down.

Nice find and awesome video, the game is looking great - I can't wait to play it. I imagine there's a high possibility of going on my shelf of classic games, which is reserved to the likes of MoO 2, Space Empires IV, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Jagged Alliance 2, M.A.X, Civilization and Planescape: Torment... a very exclusive crowd of games that means a lot to me :)



EisenHammer -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 12:32:16 AM)

Nice....the game looking good.[:)]



Webbco -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 12:40:54 AM)

Great solar flare effects with that sun...don't your ships get damaged being that close?!

Yes, that's the music that comes with the game. Although as you probably already know, you can customize the sounds and music.



Grim.Reaper -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 2:01:07 AM)

During these battles, do you also have fighters that come from ships or is it only ship on ship battles?  Thanks!

Thanks for the info:) This one is peaking my curiosity.

The videos in no way do this game justice. Although this latest one is my favorite. If you are tired of pre-made space scenarios, and want to customize them for your own playing style, this game is perfect. I like to sometimes play a peaceful system and just concentrate on building and expanding, without wars. That's simple.

The entire opposite is also simple. You can set a game up so that the minute it starts, you are at war with everybody. [;)]

Your not making it easier to resist this game:)

Then you probably don't need to hear that each time you play the game, Microsoft sends you a $100. [;)]



hadberz -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 3:08:53 AM)

The editor is great, you can setup a galaxy however you want. Planets, ships, pirate fractions, whole systems it can all be added or removed with click of the mouse. [:)]



Baleur -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 3:16:07 AM)

Can i start out with a surround on the Ikkuro homeworld with a "bowl" of my own empire, forcing them into submission from the first minute of the game? [:D][:D]
Furry slaves, obey!

Yeah, when I use the editor, I feel kind of like God. I drop planets, ships, asteroids, and boost my finances to the top. It's one of the coolest things about the game.



wodin -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 9:29:04 AM)

Had a sort of old school feel to it.....I really liked watching it...makes a change from over flashy graphics...old school to me means great playability and depth with acceptable graphics....the only thing I noticed was it seemed to be a free for all...any formation\tactics used?

Yeah. If you watch the time/date during the battels you will see that they are taking several days. It looks like the time is set as year/month/day.
The space battle (2767.10.25; video time: 2:46) involving the troop transport ground invasion takes 25 days.
The narrator states that the colony isn't very well defended with troops so it will be easy to invade. The ground invasion during the space battle, from the time of first transport reaching center of planet to the successful invasion popup window, takes 8 days.
Those "lore/story" times seem reasonable.

I noticed that every 3 or 4 days the day counter would skip a day without a longer interval passing.
Is this is an odd way it is programmed or is it to do with some sort of lag while using some game elements?



Gertjan -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 5:08:10 PM)

Wow you must be responsible for those over 2000 views on youtube for the previous videos!



Wade1000 -> RE: Combat Video is up! (3/23/2010 5:14:01 PM)

Nope. I looked at them just once or twice.
