Birth of the Federation

lol roger that

Here it is:


Thunderchero 361 turns seriously? I wouldn't waste my time dragging it out that long.

Here is my hall of fame for planet mod, added to vanilla:

okay can't insert pics to this forum? hmmm

Just my two cents... I keep trying all of the mods that come out, and I keep going back to the original vanilla version. Plain is best. The Planet Mod is faster, much faster than plain. It's plain on steroids. Massive increase in population potential for the plain game is fantastic, the best mod eve...

crap/spam

Just curious.... was gonna do a poll, but didn't want it too official, more of a discussion. I find myself playing the original 1.0.2 English version the most, followed by the Planet Mod almost as much, then the All the Ages mod on occasion. I also have installed and have played the ultimate dominio...

Anyone else notice this? Starting at level one, I can win the game playing any race, except the cards. I've tried several times now, and always fall way behind the other races in everything. Production is too low, research is too low. I even get attacked by Intel lol! The cards getting attacked by i...

Hi, and thanks for the post. @drokmed: you'r strategy works fine against the AI only. I'm not so sure about AI only, but then again, I haven't played against another player in at least 10 years. A Human player would only have to build a single fleet big enough to destroy one of your outposts and the...

I should have been more clear... when I said outposts are overpowered, I also include starbases in that category. Overpowered outposts and starbases ruin the game IMHO. Unless the starbase is actually larger than the planet it's guarding, it shouldn't be able to defend the planet. After further refl...

OMG this is ridiculous! Over the years, I keep trying mods on these forums, and they ALL have the same exact strategy... The strategy for ALL mods on this forums are: 1. At start of game, build no more than 2 scouts, and send them out to explore the map. 2. Build transports, and have them build uber...

Dusting off BOTF... it's amazing how I keep coming back to this game over the years. Just read this thread, I think I'll give this mod a try. I'm a little concerned that weaker ships/longer battles means all enemies retreat before you can kill them. I don't want the game dragged out too much, I'd li...

I think he has been searching for Hades3D :lol: I think you are right. I wasn't aware of that one. I just discovered the multi installer 1.0.2, and the mods that go with it. I think people confuse that as the original. It is not. It includes patches and mods. I still have original cd's, and install...

Battles have always been in 3D. :? Wrong. Uninstall your botf, and install from original vanilla cd (I have several originals still). No patches, nothing. I don't even bother with any patches. Vanilla with no patch is perfectly stable on my XP pro SP 3 laptop. Keep it original version. Start a game...

the first one you're looking for is the planet Mod: english: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=8 Thanks, that's the one! i don't understand what you mean with the second statement. Doesn't you Botf run Battles in 3D? 3D Battle is mi...

Hi all, I'm back to the original game. I like it a lot. There used to be two mods that I really liked. I'm looking for: * mod that increases max population of system (a planet can be 255 each) * battle in 3d That's it. Anyone remember those, and which ones/where I can find them? I've read through th...
