Awesome savegames wanted for trailer footage!
« on: October 01, 2019, 10:07:48 am »
Hi there! Do you have a savegame where there's cool stuff going on, showing off an awesome empire, or big battle, or something you built in interesting defensive patterns?

If so, and you don't mind sharing, we'd love to have those savegames so we can use them for new trailer footage.

Thanks in advance!

Here's a save; go to the planet Prime to see a battle with the Botnot Golem and a bunch of player ships vs a Macrophage.

Not very exciting compared to some, but it's a start!

Here's another game with a bunch of player ships (including a few Arks) about to fight the AI and the Dark Spire. Take the fleet on Riese and attack Corvus

This save has a HUGE battle between the Nanocaust and the Praetorian fleet. Sit back and enjoy the carnage!!

This one is a battle between the Dark Sire and the AI Overlord (beginning with Phase 1)--lots of crazy battles going all over the galaxy

This one is pretty amusing. The setup is a LOT of Praetorians, the Devourer Golem, and my solo tackle drone combat factory. You can micro the combat factory around to aim the tackle drones towards the Devourer

This one shows off the Hive Golem. The adjacent planet "invincible" has a fleet you can reinforce with, as you will need in order to actually take capture the planet

I *just* hacked an ion cannon in this save, and I have my shield starships protecting it as it wreaks havoc on the AI controlled planet

Misnamed save (should be called "what ion eye") but this is pretty cool because the ion eye is activated but my units are protected by siphoners (shield starships). Good one to show off bubble shields

This one begins about 10 seconds before 2 incoming wormhole invasion waves (separate planets simultaneously). One on a fortified planet, one on a backwater planet--good to show off scary wave

Great, Badger and Zeusalmighty, thanks for the saves! If anybody has any more saves that I can use those would also be appreciated. Cheers!

This is a good save to show off late game tower defense. Hunters have to attack me on planet Opal (adjacent to starting-save location) to protect their mark 7 planet.  I have powerful turrets and spiders are very noticable in slowing the AI down. (Devestators are cool fyi, just rolled them in an ARS)

(Edit): The action on the opening planet with all my fleet will attract the Prateorians if you give it a minute. Very cool fight, I have quite a powerful combination of units and nice tech. But the Warden recruits a Botnet and Widow Golem to the fight ... place your bets

Good show match potential for fighting an AI HW. This fight will go in the AI's favor pretty handily without consideration, but I have the firepower to do so (especially if you spam metal debug)

Context: I decimated the Warden and Praetorians on the adjacent planet and the time is ripe to swoop in before the HW reinforces

I submitted a save as a bug! You could use that.
