Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

A few more thoughts in random order: 1) I am going to have a tough time playing this game due to my schedule. I don't think there's a decent workaround for this. The only thing you could really do to help me would be to have turns execute once or twice per day or something, which would totally chang...

Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

And again, a full day away at work, come back to find that two perfectly happy planets have gotten unhappy, rebelled, and declared independence. one was my trading hub, and I lack the energy right now to tediously recreate all the links it had... the other was a sector capital, and ditto on that. No...

Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

Today's observations: Rebellions are the biggest issue challenging me. I understand in principle the idea that citizens need food, luxuries, durable goods, and life support equipment. 1) food, luxuries, durable goods - I get that the idea is to manage production and distribution of these. One thing ...

Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

Observations for today: Not really clear on what the limit is for traffic through a trading hub. There appears to be one. Definitely seem to need a lot more consumer goods autofacs than I expected. I have 1/4 of my worlds set to that now and it doesn't appear to be enough. Again, went to work with h...

Re: Bugs

Hey, it seems like when Victory-class starcruisers attack a planet, they end up firing missiles at the satellites at extreme range - and not at the right satellite, so the missiles chase the satellite and burn out before they hit it. So what ends up happening is the Victorys circle the planet ad inf...

Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

By "huge" I mean the distances and number of worlds. One of the issues I had with the windows version of Anacreon is that I could only play the smaller scenarios or the games would become unmanageable. Another observation from today: time scale for the population changing its mind may be too quick. ...

Re: New to Anacreon online - observations so far

Oh, and let me add... for me, to a point the lack of clear documentation is a good thing. It's kind of fun to explore and figure things out. However, that fun only exists for the first few days and of course it makes for a very unequal playing field. One wild idea that might be able to recreate this...

New to Anacreon online - observations so far

1. This is a great game. So don't interpret anything below as criticism. 2. The Game Universe is incomprehensibly huge. Up to a point that's a good thing. But I think there may be a point of diminishing returns. 3. I understand it's Alpha, but information about what does what is pretty hard to come ...
