Learning curve?

[zarkwizard]

Raven knows the game very well.. A side note to number 2...

As long as you own a home world you can't be eliminated.. What this means is.. If you find a weak home world it would serve you well to acquire it. If you take someones home world and it is the "only" home world they had, they will be eliminated from the game. If you own more than one home world, you will be safe. So if you had taken over 10 home worlds, someone would have to eliminate all 10 of your home worlds to eliminate you from the game.

Just because you wipe out someones home world, doesn't mean they are gone from the game.. That might have just been one of their side home worlds, and now you have poked the nest..

For #3 we like to compare the game to a game of survivor. Diplomacy is what ever works at the time... This isn't your kiddy game where you are protected. You can be eliminated, and if you are it's time to learn and move on to the next game. Remember the names you encounter, that's the name that player will always have. Revenge is a dish best served cold (in the immortal words of Khan).

While there isn't going to be just a single player left when the game ends, there could be a lot of players left when the win conditions are met, all the players will get points depending on their ranking, and what they achieved in a specific game, even those that are eliminated will get something. Just play to have fun, and enjoy the game and strategies that you create. Each game starts a new, so you can take what you learn in one, and apply it to a new game.

I'm chomping at the bit, reading all this! I can't wait!! What do you mean about Verisutha and Tsagoth only collecting data, and not to attack them? Just wondering.

heh.. They are GM accounts. They will be in every game. While they can be attacked it won't fair well for you, since they have all the skills, and abilities. I'm not saying they can't be killed, it's just not a good idea to attack them. So if they are in your sector ignore them. They are probably just looking at something, either you contacted us about, or someone else contacted us about and they needed to collect info about the sector they might bring a ship there.

One thing I can't remember if we covered during the beta... When you die and you want to join another game, will you be able to see the other game that is waiting to be created and how many people have signed up for it so far? Or do we just sign up and wait a few days until we get a notification.

I think you already told us this, excuse my mild short term memory loss. It is a pre-existing condition.

Any new games available will be listed, there should always be one. You will see how many people have joined and what the cap is for that server.. An example:

Nergal 50/1000 with the game start time (if there aren't enough players to fill it the game will start at that time)

Look, I don't want to be a jerk or anything. If you're involved in the same game as I am, all this worrying about learning curve and what not is really kinda silly. I didn't play in the beta, but I'm about 99.9% sure I'll dominate the first game. Just saying. Don't be mad because you're dealing with a race of superior beings. Some species are simply meant to succeed whereas others are naturally selected to be eliminated from existence.

Play the first game. Have fun. Don't worry about winning because I've got that one covered. I will be selective about games I play so others have a chance to win too.
