How fast do you think you can beat Error Correcting Mod?

My version has some changes and i was almost killed starting on level 1, now i had 700+ moves and 15 races on my side and i still cant beat them.

Major population mod on all planets, major races and even minor races (start out with 160-240 home planet there no long a pushover to take over)
Orbital batterys are double price, energy and fire power but most planets can only run 10 at a time max)
Federation had a moral mod since they were at a disavantage.

When i Attacked a planet with 8 orbital batterys i lost over a dozen sovereigns in first attack so each planet you go after will be a real war.

Anyone want to test this out?

hehe sounds challenging

I'll try a level 1 large map Error Correction mod game as well then.

PS: Using feds to attack other majors is a big misstake anyway *cough* Klingons!!! *cough*

Dr_Breen,

I think you miss understood

AFC has made major changes to his personal version of ECM

[Flocke]

what about sharing a 1st turn savegame for such a challenge?
+ including modifications if used
that would become much more comparable

[RSE_Dissy]

i can beat any AI with any modifications. just send me the file and i'll have the galaxy conquered in a week ;P

Dissy you having a slow go at the game I gave you to try. I wouldn't mind giving the ECM: AFC Edition a try... maybe a link for res and exe files and I'll let you know.

I have a lot more to go but here what has been done already

Changes

Planet Mod had doubled all planet populations
All Major and minor races starting populations have been changed
Federation moral have been changed so there not so extreme

Structure Changes

1. Orbital Battery have changed from 80 to 150 for defense

Made Minor races ships are now buildable in home system

Try starting on level 1

Interesting mod. Starting on tech 1 as the Roms I have to say the AI is somewhat better, they all ally against me because I am too powerful. Also, a pretty interesting thing happened that I dont think has ever happened in any game of BotF ive played. See screenshot below.

[afc]

Anyone else give me a review?

[Tethys]

Also another interesting note, after both me and the attacking ship were destroyed, the outpost lady (voice) said "Our enemies have failed to destroy us" but the outpost was still gone. This may be inherent of vanilla though.

[RSE_Dissy]

hmmm I must try this when I have some time! Defo need a sesh vs good AI

[Tethys]

I just got my hand assed to me, from T1 playing as Roms... made it to turn 134 I think, basically Feds and Fergs allied against me, then the Cards and Klings.. aganst me... I like how aggressive the AI seems to be

[Tethys]

Sorry to double post, but you might want to look into slightly decreasing ship maint cost (or increasing trade goods output), especially on cruisers. Feds have like 100 cruisers and Im in defecit trying to shovel around 6 cruisers, 11 strikers, and 13 destroyers. Not exactly a walk in the park. AND this is with me intel bombing the Ferg economy, grabbing about 10k every 6-8 turns or so.

What is the Error Correcting Mod? I never herd of it.
