Antarans beat...fastest way?

Postby Obrab » Wed Aug 20, 2008 11:54 pm

Hi im new to this forum. What is ur fastest against Antarans? My best is 205 turns at pre-warp (i only play pre-warp). On impossible and 8 players (AI, i never played online) and i play all kind of galaxy size but always with 8 players. I pick these following :
(i play the game in french but ill try to translate)

creative, democratic, arthefacts home world, large home world
low g, -20 attack, -10 ground combat

With 4 to 7 titans around 210-230 turns, the Antarans are beat.
Orion is needed here, beaten around 200 turns or less and with luck i can get energy absorber, which let me to build only 4 titans.

What is ur best against them?
Antarans beat : 205 turns, 8 players, pre-warp, impossible, average galaxy.

Then you misunderstood the task. He was speaking of killing antarans, not the Orion Guardian :P

Speaking of Orion Guardian it can be killed on 80s or even on 70s. Just 10 destroyers with emg mercs are enouff....

Hmm. And how can you kill Antarans if you don't have dimension portal, which comes at Multi-dimensional Physics (4500 RPs)?

Ah, it seems I got the trick - Locknar gives you the dimensional portal. And you just refit your BBs with newly captured techs and kill antarans.
Oh well, how about killing antarans without capturing Orion?

I dont understand how u can beat the Guardian with only destroyers. This ship has over 700 hp and 400 shield and he is cybernetic (u kill him in 1 turn?). I cant view how u can kill him without structural analyser combined with phasors pfl and zortrium armor, gotten often around 160 turns, on battleships who hit 300 hp pts each shot and that means i need 4 or 5 of them. Below that number the Guardian regenerates himself and its too late cause he kill 1 battleship each turn, giving an 900 hp shot to them by throwing a kind of big flame lol. Weel i have a question : my tactic seem to be way different than urs and if u tell me that u can kill the Guardian below 140 turns, are u telling me he has less hit pts if we attack him sooner?
Tks for replying my post btw its very interesting. Cabman : what mean zort and emg mercs? I read about housing techniques recently but i have to check what is the perfect way of tech. Im used to build a lot of buildings in mid game for a prod and sci boost while conquering other civs and i wait for these techs i told before tempting an attack of Orion.

Zort=zortrium armour
Mercs=merculite missile.
EMG=emission guidance system- all damage aplied strightly to ship's drive- two missiles go through shields and ...KABOOM.
Read thisguide and other stuff at this site which can help you play more eficiently.

The fastest way, as usual, to beat the game is to use game flaws. First "grow" huge population, then use specific combat "tactics" the AI isnt designed to defend from. You dont need technology for that. Thats why you see some ppl actually recommend things like UniTol races.

The shortest amount of time it took for me to defeat the Antaran Home World was 51 turns on advanced. It was funny I was broke by the time I defeated the game I had 23 buildings scraped.

How you can do that is get a couple of destroyers and load them up with Auto Fire Desrupters. But make sure they are fast.
