Hey guys and girls! Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I've been away from playing games for a while because I've been working hard with my small team to develop our own products.
Right now, we're about to enter beta for our first major release, a pirate fishing RPG (really) called Rule with an Iron Fish. It's more on the casual end of the spectrum than the hardcore strategy game some of you were probably hoping for - but we think it's really fun.
Some screenshots to whet your appetite:
Please drop me a PM if you'd be interested in taking part in the beta and thanks for reading!
It always felt weird that when I stop auto combat it doesn't feel like it's stopping in time.
I've looked at how many turns are actually played when hitting auto and immediately ESC to cancel it.
Your current turn is played by the AUTO and then the AI gets a turn, so far so good, but then, the AI gets ANOTHER turn, without you getting one, and only after that, the autocombat stops.
No matter how I look at it, this is a bug, the enemy takes 2 turns in a row.
Is it possible to somehow display a stack's strategic combat value? Attack-Defense-Ranged numbers, kind of like a wargame counter. Either on the icon, on the screen somewhere for the active stack, or available with a click or CTRL-something.
In case anyone is interested in hearing my kiwi accent, last week I appeared on Polycast for the first time in 6 years.

The other day I stumbled upon a game that I hadn't played in a long time, since my elementary school days: Gemfire. And I realized that it had many similar elements to MoO1: the tactical battle screen, the relatively simple province management / economic system, the random events (plagues, earthquakes).
I see that Gemfire came out in 1991, and MoO1 came out in 1993. I wonder if the people who made MoO1 were at all influenced by Gemfire. They are both unusual for grand strategy games in how streamlined their mechanics were.
So I downloaded the mod from the link in the main thread. I extracted it to the Mods folder. When I start the game, advanced options and Load a Mod, there is EiTB v12. I choose it and it begins to load...
but then I get an error stating: GFC error: Failed to intialize the primary control theme.
If I press Ok, the same error occurs again and then Civ freezes. Any advice would be great, thank you.
So I'm going for my first time on hard
Average I had a pretty hard midt game vs frogmen and their amazing size in planets. (i am playing Psilon)
I'm looking for more tips to do or way to optimize my science/production output best possible way.
Tips i use so far:
Ultra rich >>> planet reserve >>>> Ultra rich or artifacts or rich planets building ships
Rich building ships or putting into reserved
I try to build up factories fully on my starting planets before going to research.
in the beginning i check to see if i have more than double factories than population and then i adjust it slightly to give more population.
Once a planet is up and running fully i shoot of some population to nearby new planet to get them up to 33-49% population so get benefits of max growth bonus
Should i do this as soon as i make my 2nd planet or wait for planet 1 to go up first ?
i recently changing my starting technology to aim for away from robotic technology and instead reduced waste and improve eco Restoration as well as factory cost. i think it more useful in the very start and reduce the cost form Imp. Robotics
Should i predump some science from the very start and ride the small 7.5% bonuses while building up me very first planets ?
or wait until my first planet is fully operation and start science there ?
Anything else good tips to do ? i usual play the longs strategy which is why psilon fits me so nicely.
expand as fast as possible avoding war
Then rinse and repeat "get production up. research for better production."
Break out the big fleet and run over the enemy
