Compilation of ramjet bugs for Era 4 fixes

1. Already known: Ramjets can't path in certain almost all nebula on the map. Capture 3.PNG 2. In the few places where ramjets CAN move, they are able to move from light to dark nebula. Capture.PNG 3. When purchased from a Mesophon world, ramjets can be added to any fleet and move at that fleet's sp...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

Pictures! That is, without doubt, the single largest mass deployment of fleets I've ever seen. While I captured Auroran trade hubs with a few fleets of 2-3M Minotaurs, Bug King was busy converting the entire SE to their empire color in the span of the 5 hours for which this war raged from Saturday ...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

It is the decree of this Imperium that all worlds outside of a cluster are hereby offered freely as gifts ( genuine gifts, stated plainly and publicly here) to other players. The many past wars left lots of scattered, unconnected worlds cluttering up the map, sometimes even right next to other playe...

Re: Imperial Propaganda News Bulletin

The first Cycle of the Great War was a resounding success. Imperial legionaries conducted themselves admirably on the field of battle, unwavering as the formidable Auroran forces broke upon their lines. Total casualties on the Imperial side add up to some 500k Helions and 100k Minotaurs. In contrast...

Re: Imperial Propaganda News Bulletin

Terran Propaganda Broadcast III and Declaration of War: It is the 47th Cycle of the Imperium's foundation, and dark times are now upon us. Greater powers once again threaten our sovereignty, and we stand ready to answer the call to arms. It is said that history repeats itself: true words indeed as o...

Combat Simulator

Made a quick Excel thing to compare the space forces rating and SCI WU costs of two fleets in combat. Others may find this useful, to guesstimate the outcome of a particular engagement based on SCI WU costs (as suggested by WTV) rather than the space forces rating, which can be unreliable. Not exact...

Updated front page. Latest map available courtesy of Wayward Device. The Imperium recognises and upholds a new alliance with the noble peoples of Windsor. Windsor is the Imperium's closest neighbour in the East descended from ancient Britannia, a similarly infamous power on old Earth whose sphere of...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

I've discussed fleet capture and fleet transfer in various bug reports dating back to 2016. I think fleet capture is a serious defect in the current combat model, because it makes it paradoxically risky to use fleets to actively defend your planets during an enemy invasion. IIRC, Bug King mentioned...

Re: Imperial Propaganda News Bulletin

This Imperium utterly renounces any and all treaties, pacts, alliances, guarantees of independence and offers of protection extended to the rogue nation Alliance of Free Kingdoms. We have shown mercy to these miscreants in the past, after they initiated conflict by invading our worlds. Instead of de...

Re: A guide to trade cluster construction for the civilized emperor

I've just read through this in full (it's excellent of course) but do you not use the 100% on all import method? Huh. Learn something new every day. I've honestly just discovered this was possible. Thanks... I actually thought the percentages had to add up to 100% and was sitting around with a calc...

Re: A guide to trade cluster construction for the civilized emperor

I think that it is also worth discussing planet placement relative to other players: If your neighbors are well-established, try to keep your capitals and hubs outside their maximum achievable jumpship range. Remember that any planet they control within range of a capital can become a jumpbeacon in...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

Oh, yes I do suppose these work units might be a better metric to test which units perform best. We were going with matching the space forces rating of the two fleets in the first test (from memory it was around 868k vs 1M), and seeing how the Minotaur/Helion combo performed so well then doubled the...

Imperial Fleet Combat Report, Cycle 4376 PHASE 1: 500k Minotaur-class gunships preceded by a vanguard of 600k Helion-class explorers engaged a Hegemony defense fleet of 22k Gorgos and 11k Megathere-class starships. Result: Decisive Imperial victory with 100% enemy casualties. 500k Helion casualties...
