If they aren't strong enough to handle the agitated aliens on their islands, then they aren't strong enough to handle a guy with the firepower to kill those aliens.Īs I wrote in the Kraken article, The power of your naval unit or units attacking the kraken in their first volley is important. Why they expect you to stop in the middle of a cleansing battle necessary to eliminate the last aliens on your island, is beyond me. If you kill enough aliens, other factions will call you up and ask you to stop. If you move any units, you have to do it one space at a time, or they'll end up getting themselves in miasma and taking damage, or walking into an alien nest. Find one that can attack from a distance so it can't get to them. If you want to kill one, you need to focus on the technology to give you stronger units. Siege worms just rampage wherever they want, and can destroy your stuff, breaking roads and destroying trade caravans. Sea dragons will attack anything in the water. Don't get too close to any alien nests or you'll get attacked for sure. Even if you have done nothing wrong, they could ignore you one turn, and then attack you the next, even if you haven't moved your explorer from that spot. if you don't attack any aliens, then most types usually won't attack even though they'll get right next to you. Not really worth the cost.Īt the beginning. The satellite only affects tiles claimed by one of your cities, and doesn't really affect them too well even then, and it doesn't stay in orbit long either. If you remove the miasma but not the xenomass, it will appear again over time, and aliens will respawn.Īs I wrote on the Miasma article page, The Tier 1 technology Ecology (80) gives you Miasmic Repulsor satellite with its leaf technology of Alien Biology (190) allowing workers to clear Miasma and giving them immunity to damage by it. New alien nests appear over time in any xenomass with miasma. Anyway, point being if you got a super cheap computer, or a really old one, you might have a problem, but not something you can't work around, and if you have a nicer one, you probably won't have any problems.Īliens are a slight problem early on, but once you build some decent military units, all of them are easily dealt with.Īliens keep spawning from nests. If I played games a lot I'd probably have a superior system. This is the first new game I've gotten in a decade. Others have had problems also though, people not getting new computers as often these days, or paying a lot more for something they don't absolutely need. So not the fastest gaming computer of course. My desktop was new in March of 2014, it cheap at about 300 dollars I think it was. Saving your game often will avoid some stress, should it crash on you. With Windows 8.1, Task Manager still appears when you hit CTRL ALT DEL, but it doesn't appear over the game unless you right click on it on the taskbar, on the right most part, not the main part, and select "Always on Top". If I zoom out all the way, and have too many bases and units on the screen, it will sometimes lock up and no matter how long I wait, won't start again, I having to close it. In the settings you can stop the opening film from playing each time, that making the game load up much faster. If I click anything at all while it is loading, it crashes on me. Update! The patch in January 2015 fixed the problems various people were having.Most will put their first city on the shore, so sending a load of evolved gunboats over to blast away its defenses, and then have a melee unit walk on in and claim it, is rather simple to do. I had already wiped out most of their military and would've easily taken out their few remaining cities, but still, seems kind of odd. I just won a game where I captured a city, and surprise, it was the capital, so I won. I would like an option to wipe out all cities, not have to waste time hunting down every unit they might have out there somewhere to win. I see an option that you have to wipe out all cities and units to win. You can get rid of all resource pods, set it where the only victory allowed is conquest, etc. When setting up things look to the top area and you'll see Advance Settings. I play the faction now that has the bonus for Covert Operations, since spying on others is a great way to get technology fast. A worker or soldier is pointless, you getting either of those after a few turns if you wanted to build one. When you start the game remember, don't choose anything you can easily get in the game.
