Hi Everyone, I was just playing around to see if it could be done and I edited most monsters to act and look like Borg The Borg cube is as original Calamarain is now a Borg Cube and assimilate system and spawn new borg ships Chodak is now a Borg Cube and assimilate system and spawn new borg ships Cr...

I think he is referring to 'The Rebirth and Newly Announced Games of Microprose with Sergio Costa' from last sunday.... that interview was 7 months ago I think. Yeah I took the time to listen to that interview and birth of the Federation is briefly talked about at 1:14:50 summary: "new microprose d...

Interesting. So in theory it should be able to auto-calculate the damage-spot orientation values? But of course it's a very low-priority task right now and I have no intention to mess with the creator myself. Gamgen is basically the same program as creator just less features. It has nothing for aut...

EDIT: However, we also look for an ancient version of the Gamegen. Creator, used for the original 3D ship designs in BotF. Problem is that albeit outdated it's still a commercial product. So it's sort of an 'undercover' mission.... when I contacted MultiGen several years ago they gave me access to ...

I did a test with 3 AI races allied and all start as enthusiastic and they broke alliances before turn 35.

So I doubt if there is a way to keep AI in an alliance, they just have there own objectives.

you can read about the patch here https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=43262#p43262 but as post warns; There are some caveats to using this patch: :!: It breaks compatibility with existing SAV files! You can't load up your old savegames, nor can new savegames be loaded up...

Is it some kind of a bug, that all minor nations with starships dont use redeploy? instead of having a fleet of severel ships, the ships are in the same system but all without joining a fleet :( It is not a "bug" but it was the only way to allow 18 fleet taskforce for human player. you will also no...

here is an interesting graph from my last game.

final turn here is graph my score was 262316 (it was top score)

it looks like graph dropped after each time I took out a major?

territory shading uses *_check.tga and majors system names is controlled by fnt file ******09.fnt

That is good to know that tutorial still works.
