Anacreon Source

Out of curiosity, inspecting the Anacreon webpage: it appears that a lot of the Anacreon base functionality, barring the Core Library on Github, is implemented in Javascript files which can just be downloaded straight from the browser. I've attached them as a zip file here for others to peruse at th...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

If high-tech defenses are ineffective, that is a separate issue which should be addressed rather than increasing halfLife across the board. High tech defenses are indeed ineffective: despite their longer half-lives they are much more expensive to build, still resulting in lower numbers overall. A m...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

It is with great pride that the Empire of Sol announces our arrival as an independent and autonomous people. The 16-period old Empire of Sol somehow spawned right in the middle of Imperium territory, after which it proceeded to capture undefended production worlds left and right to form a minature ...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

As I see it: without considering bugs, the most important balance issues to address at present are: 1. Planetary defenses still aren't good at actually defending planets! The meager defensive bonus they provide cannot justify dedicating 5-10% labor towards their construction. Even after the Era 3 Re...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

Yes, IMO. Capital ramjets have always been faster than capital starships. Not sure about "gunship speed" exactly, that would make capital ships both fast and powerful, even if they are confined to a nebula. Plus, if the bug/exploit allowing purchasing and using ramjets in clearspace isn't addressed,...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

Well, looks like some others agree starships should have increased speed to 1LY. I feared it would have been quite the controversial change, powerful as they are already. I think their ability to form doomstacks is offset somewhat by citadels, which if buffed will present a credible threat to slow m...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

Aside from that, I just thought of another minor suggestion as I got to the end of this post. How would people feel about the ability to bombard a planet to kill population or to blockade its trade route? As it stands, we have two hostile acts: attack everything in orbit and attack everything in or...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

Oh, excellent news! Nebula overhaul sounds great, that should hopefully fix the current bugs with ramjets being unable to path etc. With regard to fleets being able to path outside the map: It would be even easier to just put a single rift zone polygon around the entire galactic periphery, just outs...

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

Yes, if some production worlds are both importing and exporting it generally means there is a shortfall somewhere in the network. Trade networks won't be 100% efficient because some worlds will overproduce and others will underproduce. The method outlined in the first post can actually be improved: ...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

Well, I was present for the last bit of the stream for Q&A. George said he does plan to continue work on Anacreon once Part II is released, which will hopefully be within the year. As it stands we can still populate this thread with ideas.

Re: Imperial Propaganda News Bulletin

Terran Propaganda Broadcast IV: Here is a galactic map as of cycle 4404. In the 61st year of the Imperium's foundation, the might of Terra reigns absolute and unchallenged throughout the galaxy. The Imperium has undoubtedly replaced the Hegemony as the True Great Power: its dominion of a thousand wo...

Re: (Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

New Units Here's an example of what could be added to the Core Library , with regard to introducing new units. All I did was copy-paste the existing data and change a few values. Warptransports I realized the jumptransport required jumpdrives, which obviously the warptransport shouldn't have: so to...

(Future) Era 4 Development Discussion Thread

In early 2017 (around this time last year) we had the Era 3 update, which: 1. Fixed the double capital/no-capital bug. 2. Fixed the graviton launcher overproduction bug. 3. Combines multiple alert messages of the same type into a single one, instead of infinitely stacking them. 4. Introduced the Bea...

Re: Anacreon Era III Discussion Thread

The Imperium welcomes the Soviet empire to the galactic stage.

May your civilization fare better than the last two empires that went for the Communists-In-Space theme. So far it seems to be doing quite well: alive 38 days and counting, with a modest jumpfleet and a few small trade clusters set up.
