some non-TAS speedrun of huge, dunno if its what you want to see. http://speedy.sh/KQMRw/SAVE1.GAM Very nice save, thanks. But, once again, it is absolutely freerolling, when telepathic – AI is helpless against telepathic. I suspect my speed of conquering AIs “from scratch” is not optimal, thus I a...

This patch works fine with any dosbox, dospet, D-Fend Reloaded, and even with free dos or dos 6.22 at any virtual machine software. The only problem I can recall is that some MOO distributives lacks some files (but original moo still works though :)), and after adding those files all works fine. Lik...

I expected some update from my support team, but it is delayed, consequently VDC update is delayed too. Luck pick wasn't ever used/important before v43, so, cost it 1 or 10 picks was irrelevant. Maybe now it would be reasonable to make it cost somewhere in 5-8 picks range? It would fit this new sit...

Could you please provide two different saves(two turns before antarans attack in 43b) that illustrate your point, one with low probability of attacks and one with high. It shouldn't take too much of your time to reach 68th(in small pre-warp) turn. What fun it will be in doing that? :p At least make...

If you want you can “earn” 9-10 attacks from those 10 almost each game, or you can avoid 8-10 of them each game By save/load only. May i take it as a compliment? Because i did that without save loads, and as you can read upper above at least Darza tried that perk too. :) I've tested this in 43b. Us...

This stages i like too. --- One Antarans battleship is beatable quite early, if it is not way too early, because it is shooting stationaries first, so you don't even need superior initiative, just some iron to be built. But 2nd BS will destroy all stationaries at first move and shoot fleet, so two B...

I will even do some math for you. At 70th turn all AI will have two colonies in average. Even if player have only starting colony then there will be 15 colonies total. There were only 10 antarans attacks in 43b. So 5 colonies will survive antarans attacks in any case. Using a bit of combinatoric we...

There is no luck factor here, all that is completely in your hands. How much Antarans will attack your and how much AI opponents, it is all managable by your play. Yes, save/load and you can get any number from RNG, all in your hands. It is only real way to manage number of attacks on you. But you ...

Now i got your point Angra, sorry for misunderstanding and peculiar humor. I don't argue that i can't win Antarans or anything like that, i was arguing only to this point: Antarans assault fleet should be beatable with your own defense (fleet or stationary). Not only outruned by making new planets f...

In Irakly's VDC now small galaxy is stretched to medium size, so fuel will be needed sometimes, but that is minor question. The main is that once you are slowed down by researching needed stuff in prewrap, AI is tripple times more slowed down by his bad algorithm, so in this particular case prewrap ...

Not prewrap, standart average setup with free colony ship for each, postwrap or advanced maybe too, didn't tried that. Prewrap is too easy exactly like you said. I don't see the way of complete freerolling at average startup in small with 7 AI. You need some tech and some fleet, so it takes some tim...

Actually, today it is even easier. You may place open dosbox window with moo2 anywhere at any virtual OS in the net, opened 24/7 with network game in progress. And just access it remotely anytime from any place (with any computer or smartphone, been in other city, etc) to make a move, while your opp...
