unforeseen events

[administrator]

what u think about random happening events like:

• solar winds (your starting fleets travel with warp +2)
  
• gravity leak (your starting fleets travel with warp -2)
  
• ruler-party (you get an additional 200 MP)
  
• mass-disease (u loose 200 MP)
  
• fanatic admiral (all your ships get +2/-2, but not below ?/1)
  
• bully-parade (all your ships get -2/+2, but now below 1/?)
  
• travellers-tales (u get 2 additionall com-links (with coords) which where not in your com-list allready)
  
• computer-virus (u loose 2 of your com-links)
  
• ...
  

to mention only the ones which came just to my mind.
they will appear randomly in a period of about 2 weeks?? (maybe some are definite, some go away after some time)

[peace of love]

the unforeseen effents that accured to me are more then enough ....

I like it, but there should be more good than bad ones...

arrrgss, unforseen events... i have so much of them


( these ones are the last four unforeseen events, i better not tell you what happened, you will be totally upset, so i keep it secret ... psssss. )

but you mean foreseen, unforeseen events, as i understand you.

i know that is funny hbut its poison for tactics!!

you can plan youre moves and... blam... all plans useless.

( and even planning with humans beeings is much like that... so play with humans->unforeseen events!!! (more than needed )


(as u see, we are three admins, at the moment )

unforseen means real
if there comes winter and your tanks cannot move anymore, that's unforseen too ...
otherwise this game is as i think much to strategic and mathematic ... humans like games where they have to have luck =D

So I'm not a human???

[Bilerator]

hmm why ? don't you like luck ? are you a mathematic ?

[Hobbit]

All organisation can be detroyed by random and as Dürrenmatt wrote the organiser is hit by unforeseen events the most!

So build them in, then everybody, the mathematic and the lucky gamer will have their
chance.

and then you don't know what will happen in battle

commander is always running to our school's pcs because he is looking forward to seeing his br..
i don't want to know what he would do if there were any unforseen events in the game

but why not ?
makes hobbit have a chance against wiz

[Hobbit]

Seems good if I had a chance against wiz
But the unforeseen events would maybe hit me, too.

[peace of love]

so wiz is a mathematician ???

peace

[Bilerator]

yes, as you are ... might you be wiz ?

there is almost no randomness in this game, so you can calculate the points you will get before you attack ..

more luck would be good

< that's only my opinion>

[peace of love]

but there is luck allready in the shuffle of fleets and in the multiattacks...

peace

[Frederik]

Personally I like mathematics.
(Always 'disable events' in games ).

If there would come such thing as 'cloacking probe : to cloack all allied fleets in its range', the agressor cannot see what is awaiting -> have to guess and will be lucky if his guess was correct.

If events are implemented, maybe some research can be done (or probes build), to make their impact smaller?


Peace : I think wiz is a magician.

[Hobbit]

But isn't a magician a gamer?
He can explode everytime producing some magic...
I think there's too much mathematic in this game, I prefer randomness...

me2

btw : Wiz is Neon from Matrix and we are agents ... so we can only do what is possible in this game, and wiz can do more and so he wins all the time

[Hobbit]

And then there are some failures in the game and we can win sometimes, too?
I think the big admin should build in some of his unforeseen events and so we'll have some "déjà-vues"!

[admin]

i think we should not build in any other unforeseen events in the battle engine, than there are already with the shuffle.

but maybe something with inventions that are found by fortune.

or another galactic storm, that pulls all fleets of all players together into the center of the galaxy , har har !!!

[Bilerator]

hmm ..

inventions found by fortune ? then only ones that you can normally invent .. otherwise there will be unequality
