Re: Anacreon Gameplay Guide and FAQ

To clarify what I meant about tech: The industry total might go from 1000-2000 while the CG cost goes from 500-1400. So the net production goes from 500-600 while in % terms CG uptake increases from 50% to 70%. The percentage looks scary before it gets connected by trade, but the planet net industry...

Re: Anacreon Beta II Discussion Thread

I just noticed the names of the fleets at my capital Voltanis. :wink: I am Ashes of Aelion.

Re: Anacreon Beta II Discussion Thread

Clearing a planet defended by 5500 Gorgos with 1700 Gorgos and 1 ship screen fleets:
1
2
3
1&2: vanguards got eaten by GDM.
3: used stingers instead and split the Gorgos a few times.

Using GDMs helps prevent landing transports and capturing all of the defenses instead of destroying them.

Re: Anacreon Questions and Answers

I don't think there are other bonuses, just a greater chance for, say, a transuranic world to have major or abundant trillum. The organic bonus is legit though, I first saw it mentioned in a thread somewhere on this forum. I can't seem to find the post right now, but if you look at a cave world and...

Re: Anacreon Beta II Discussion Thread

I just remembered another exploit while I was trying to get 1 Gorgos to an orbit out of range of HM at an independent. If you start an attack, set the orbit low, then retreat, the ships will dive unmolested. You can resume the attack when they are under the satellites and in range of whatever would ...

Re: Anacreon Beta II Discussion Thread

Helion and Vanguard explorers - Vanguards are not really a combat unit but they are cheap to build and are neccessary for mapping the galaxy in the early game. Helions are by far the fastest unit in the game and are as strong as a Stinger but cheaper (they do lack missile defense, though). Some pla...

Re: Bugs

A change in industry distribution temporarily results in zero production of some types. That is why hostile environment planets rebel.

Re: Anacreon Questions and Answers

That is the java console dump. The program iterates for every watch. If you leave out some smaller fleets of the same size at the same time they will have different sizes later. I don't understand why that is. My only idea is that every single ship has a state.

Re: Bugs

I have to congratulate Xiphyr for taking my capital. This epic war is bringing me a lot of fun! :-D The only problem is efficiency % gets killed for a long time. The industry factor is 100/(200-%). So a planet with 20% will be running at 56% while still consuming at a flat rate. I think efficiency ...

Re: Anacreon Questions and Answers

Just for funsies, here is how many ships (Eldritch, Gorgos) you would have after a period given 12k industry, notwithstanding rounding errors in game. Ships remaining of type Jumpship after 10 days: 135466 Ships remaining of type Starship after 10 days: 12835 Ships remaining of type Jumpship after 3...

I've had that happen twice on regular planets. So it's not only trade hubs.

Re: Anacreon Questions and Answers

I calculated the IC and net IC of a few planets at different tech levels. Higher tech pops have higher net per billion, but decreased population makes a planet at antimatter and 11b pop have the highest net total.

Re: Beta 2 Map. [spoilers ahead]

Nice. I thought it would cost an arm and a leg with regular ships.

I'm curious what happens when this ghost fleet from SC arrives. :lol:

It would take about 3 months to take that back with the few Gorgos I have on that side.
