Scorched Earth, a 10 / 10 game
« on: November 03, 2012, 04:33:54 pm »
The premise: Abusing champions and dark spire on a 10/10 game.

Ideas: Very few held worlds, directing ai offenses so they must go through a torrent of Dark Spire.

Potential bonus ship ideas: Shield bearers

Wouldn't that be more of a Scorched Galaxy?

00:08:00

The first wave is sitting outside my door (I have cross wave attacks on).

I have stirred up about 700 threat so far. Three dark spire worlds are throwing a fit due to my champ.

Hopefully, I can get them to come to my front door before 30 minutes, otherwise the cross waves will overwhelm me.

00:15:00

Dark Spire at my doorstep. Galaxy threat 2k.

The mk II redux, Scorched Galaxy, is in the works, but I won't start posting till an hour in.

This is part of why I don't do 10/10 games early on, it takes me several iternations to get the right balance of what to do.

In this case, don't agitate three dark spire hubs before the 15 minute mark of the game.

A clever ploy!

I should have known 10 / 10 dark spire on 10 / 10 ai is not at all the same thing...

I can't even step foot onto a dark spire world at 1:15:00 without the galaxy turning into chaos and killing me an hour later.

Exhibit A) Galaxy-destroying vengeful castoffs of an ancient alien race.

Exhibit B) Ponies.


I am attempting to determine what conclusions may be drawn.
