I will attempt the end game of my policy of zerging the ai...

I will provoke an ai homeworld with a cross planet attack post on a 15 planet game so as to try to empty the galaxy completely.

This is 10/10

Errr.

Ummm.

Huh.

Have fun?

That will be a ride to say the least.

A shortcut, if you prefer:

cmd:enable cheats
pull the lever

Hell, I did that on an 80-planet map. On 7.6/7.6. It's not all that difficult, at least until you have to face all of those guys (it was over 6k ships for me, but I was saved by the scrap-threat-into-carrier logic going nuts)

In 5.071 (out earlier today) this is a somewhat more dangerous proposition.

I would try something like warp in the clowns with a really high parameter for the "scaling factor" on 12.999/12.999 AIs, but I have a feeling my game would crash.

I'm pretty sure just for laughs I typed warp in the clowns on... I don't remember if it was 7/7 or 10/10, but it was a screwing around environment nonetheless. Right at the start of the game, there were in the neighborhood of multiple tens of thousands of ships? I just quit right then as an "I surrender."

so far I've emptied everything but the MK V's...

[half the galaxy has V's]

At this rate, I just may post the results of my 10/10 game*!

*It takes cheese to a whole new level. Super stinky.

chemical_art · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2012, 12:23:20 pm »

Yes, this was only possible in 5.070.

Yes, it takes stinky cheese to a whole new level.

Yes, it will probably be the only time I'll ever earn the achievement "Double Godlike"

keith.lamothe · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2012, 12:53:36 pm »

You've earned your "Cheesemaster" achievement, at least

...

P-U, what did they make that cheese from?

Victory at AIP 34. Crazy.

How many homeworlds did you start with? Was this before or after the modular fortress command station no AIP oversight was fixed?

In any case, good job. 10/10 is tricky, even if there was cheese and oversight abuse involved.

chemical_art · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2012, 03:28:44 pm »

The crazy thing is that with a better type of bonus ship (sieges are off the menu again, great against forts, terrible against everything else) I could have had a slim chance of victory without so much cheese. There were 5 V fabricators, 2 core fabricators, a IV factory, an artillery golem, an ars, and most importantly an armored golem on one planet. If I took just that one planet instead of the two I took (three if you count popping the warp gate) I could have maybe won with some trickery...

well, before 5.071 at least.

Well, to say the least, I put about as much cheese as I could on one map without disabling waves altogether or handicaps. This included the fortress king oversight.
