Ok to kill the debate Jerusalem belongs to me... because I evolved out of protoplasm that was left on a rock where jerusalem would be.... then I crawled up Eve's leg and died
you know... the only similarities between the books and movies were the names.... Everything else was utterly different.
In the movie the reason we attacked the planet was because they had tossed a meteor that killed off geneva (I think). And we didn't nuke it in the sense your thinking. We nuked it with very small tactical warheads that they would just pop off and would have no residual radiation.
just did the level again... I had an army of dreadnaughts (your technically only supposed to have one) and battlecruisers. They attacked me with destroyers...
I didn't loosse a single ship.
Next map they had about 50 battle cruisers which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact I was supposed to save somthing that was under attack by about 80 frigates. That was nasty and I decided to quit.
I was playing through homeworld 2 again and one of the major points they liked to tote was that it had "adaptive AI". but their form of Adapive AI is to have the ai scan what your fleet contains and simply increase the # of ships they have in proportion to what you've got.
For example. In one of the missions I did a little toying with the stats (via notepad it's really easy) so that my fleet contained somthing akin to 50 battlecrusiers (biggest thing in the fleet. Mops the floor with everything else). First thing that happened was I got attacked by a HUGE fleet.
But the AI adapts to the makup of your fleet so my titanic number of battlecrusiers was attacked by about 100X their # in Interceptors (the most basic unit in the entire game) This promptly turned my game into a crawl and If I had let it the battle would have taken about 12 hrs to complete because the battlecruisers don't have much in the way of antifighter weaponry.
Would it be easy to change the AI to be a bit more adaptive than the above example?
BTW if your looking for a brutally difficult game in terms of single player Homeworld 2 is your baby.
um on the decompression thing from a few topics back. No you wouldn't get sucked out into the sky from a window being blown open. everything that was light and not nailed down would. and your ears would start bleeding because the pressure change was too fast... this would probably also give all the passengers a serious case of the bends too. Then if they were to keep flying there wouldn't be enough o2 content in the air for the passengers to breath regularly. Thus the little yellow facemasks drop.
on the subject of tazer vs shoot to kill... A tazer if it missed would probably have a higher chance of accidently messing somthing up in the aircraft. I mean your sending 75,000 volts through an aluminum airframe... I don't think that's going to do much good.
no we should all worship RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON!
Not only could he probably make a cold fusion reactor out of bubblegum and twine but he goes to other planets!
The japanese are generally a sexually repressed culture in most ways. anything pubic is considered bad but they have no problem with breasts. It's kinda funny because somtimes when you get on a train there you'll see a guy reading a hentai mag, this is a middle aged business man doing this not some young 18 year old.
Never had an attraction to twi'leks...
I picked Paragus because all it is is cut, walk, cut, walk, talk, walk, cut, stab, walk, stab, stab, walk, cutscene, door opens, stab, stab, walk, hand cut off, walk, stab, stab, run, BANG, flee.
Jerec... Why would you fight sombody who's just taken down eight people who you personally trained and would probably be beaten by? And besides he had a Super Star destroyer and didn't use that thing. he just let it get blown up by kyle.
I loved in astoinshing Xmen when they found colossus.
"Peter, you feeling good?"
"I am strong."
"then I've got two words for you..."
Next thing you see is wolverine flying about a mile strait up.
