Archmonarch Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 What I mean is the 3:1 ration is an (admittedly faulty) approximation designed to indicate a single Klingon unit is stronger than a single unit of any other government. The two versions say the same thing, just in different terms.

metadigital Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Only in your world, Archie. (A ratio of 3:2 would be the same as a relative attack strength of 1.5.) But that's okay, let's stick to the ruleset that we can all read, eh? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 SNAP-a-doodle-do! This game is going to be a lot like that two-player game where you swap pieces between black and white, depending on what piece is next to them (my brain has temporarily ceased to retrieve information from the long-term archive, at this time of the morning, so I cannot recall the name of it). Federation switching hostile enemies to neutrals, Borg assimilating enemies, Dominion infiltrating them ... ... Ferengi trading with them, means that they can't be attacked, whilst the Romulans are cloaked, and Cardassians are amphibiously moving in the retreat phase ...

Othello. Though degenerate primitives tend to refer to it as Reversi. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed-li-dood-li-o! I woke up with this information at the ready. So my point is that the game will resemble Othello (Reversi), what with the Borg assimilating Dominion-infiltrated Romulan spies ... I think the Romulans need to have the (German) spy power. I am just not sure if it is for all the orders of that turn, or just a particular unit ... Looks like the Ferengi are an excellent spy network, too. They would work well co-operating with the Federation; I guess the same goes for the Romulans. Cardassians, though, what is their special power?

Only Cardassian have that ability. 1. The Cardassian player can build units in any supply centers he controls, not just his home supply centers.
