Birth of the Federation

The trick is to only gift when you can do it for 3 or 4 turns in a row with maxed gift. Then you can offer friendship with money attached.

It doesn't update on the home page anymore. All we can see is the last 10 threads.

I can't really answer that question as it depends on what mod, what tech level, what race my opponent is taking and/or what race I feel like playing on any given day.

I've always been curious about how old botf players are. I know I'm one of the older players at 43.

I'm up for a team match for sure. Maybe arrange something for this weekend? Me/rf vs the 2 rse, winner to be crowned Botf GODS.

I've stopped testing due to too fast shipbuilding and too fast research. Kinda takes the fun out of it. Nothing personal.

Tethys,

Any word on when you're gonna put out an updated version? I'd like to continue testing but want the changes we posted made first if possible.

I think Zerochance mentioned this so apologize if repeating but I also don't like having to make certain structure on a t5 game on my homeworld. Starting a dom t5 game and I have to make space port, industrial replicators, orbital shipyards, energy network. imho, these things should alrdy be there o...

Ok, was curious why the asteroid outpost only had +3 scan instead of advertised +6 scan. I looked at buildings on dom homeworld and saw a relay station with +3 scan. So I scrapped that and next turn, voila, +6 scan from asteroid outpost. So, scan things should be in the form of upgrades and not sepe...

All I can see is 2 lines of: UDMIII tournament winner. The icon/badge thing is not there anymore.

Not a big deal for me, just that some people were asking.

Ok, continued my t2 kling game and by turn 79 I had membered trade and xindi, both had popped and both were 870 pop. 59 industry structure. I think systems are abit too large, imho. Whatever happened to the days when ppl were satisfied with a 300? Edit: Ok just noticed omarion 2 starting a game as d...

I agree that card needs ram in certain mods, but that could easily be remedied. And for those who might think I'm against ram because I lost a game to it; I won the UDM tournament because of card ram. I'm just against it because it ruins battles and is not very realistic. btw tc, what happened to my...

Anyway, as my fleet of beautiful rom wb3's went down to the vicious ram killing fed, a thought occurred to me: Wouldn't it just be better to remove the ram option from the order list? Personally, I hate the ram. I think it ruins battles and takes away from what battles are supposed to be. And with s...

i would definitely suggest making it like udm/udmL. udmL is better suited to single play, 200+ turn mp games are very rare.
