Emperor of the Fading Suns Forum

I'm sorry I let you waiting for a reply so long but I've been swamped in work lately and must inform you that I cannot participate in a new game anytime soon.

I'm interested in a new game, what patch and starting conditions?

Russel: you should check out the subversion patch Tibeius is working on. He's got some radical ideas and the church/league/symbiots will become forces to recon with throughout the game. Perhaps you could get some inspiration for your own patch.

When I was testing if hospitals heal units faster than other units I stumbeled on a most interesting detail. Using a mapeditor I put 2 rebel megatanks next to 4 of mine. I also placed a rebel destroyer in orbit. When I attacked these units mine took damage and started healing at 2 point/turns and at...

I'm currently playing my first PBEM efs game ever (fulcrum) and, very surprisingly, am ranked first on the powergraph.

about the research points.. The upkeep of your techs is substracted from the output of the labs. So if you have 100 points upkeep and 4 labs, each lab will have 75 points left for new reseach. Units outside cities will heal at 2%/turn, inside cities they heal at 12%. Dunno about the hospitals though...

There is a trait where loyalty is increased when a noble is present in the palace. (Not sure if this one was broken) That is the only case where you'd need nobles in all your palaces. Though it never hurts to spread your nobles around a bit as you dont want all your eggs in one basket. As for lettin...

the biggest advantage of a ministry is that u can use 2 space stacks to attack or defend. 40 unitslots instead of 20... makes some difference to say the least. If you have good allies and are confident that you'll keep the Eye for some elections to come you might want to build it up. That is.. if th...

assault guns work well to. Anything with a low close attack damage will do. So, yes, you just have to hope they'll survive.

To road or not to road, good question. U must assume space-superiority for the enemy, if he doesn't have that, you don't have a problem to begin with :) This means that you'll have very limited transport capability. Leaves the question on who has ground-superiority. If you have this roads are your f...

In my games my elite fighters get hit by ranged space attacks. U could easily test this with mapedit, set up a few elite fighters and a few green dreadnoughts and watch the fireworks.

Yes, as much as possible. Sometimes the coast won't allow it though or resource markers come out 'wrong'. Like a mine having both metal and exotica. Then I improvise.

I've been having a lot of luck capturing nobles lately. In my mp game I'm now up to 8 nobles. I've captured these with assault guns (nova patch), these have got a lousy close attack and will only damage the noble 9 out of 10 times. Dont use too many units.

Okay, I've finally almost finished a game of subversion and have a few thoughts about it. The upgrades of sevaral spaceships to their stealth counterpart require the wrong units. For example, the stealth invader requires a lander instead of an invader, same for carriers. The normal stealth units can...

Better still is to get rid of windows ME. That solves all kinds of problems..
