Wow.  yer gonna slander yer opponent.  How original an' imaginative.  Fire the cannons!  (rolls eyes) You be a clear cut example o' what is wrong with politics an' politicians these days. 

Why do ye feel th' need t' run a mudslingin' campaign, Avast me hearties! Why dont ye focus on what yer platform is.  Why waste th' time an' energy slanderin' yer opponent when ye could be out thar talkin' t' scallywags in yer district about YOU?
Shiver me timbers!

I bet ye would suprise alot o' scallywags if ye went that route an' said somethin' like, "Im not gonna talk about me opponent, what he stands fer or what he is runnin' on.  Im here t' discuss what I would, what I am runnin' on."  Not only is it refreshin', but its honest an' pure.  Thats th' kind o' politics this country needs.  Load the cannons!

Yep.....me sentiments exactly.  republicans suck.

Its been a boring round....so nothing unusual for IC

@Valenka: i disagree with you about Quantams needing to be made better. They have loads of race points already if you add them all up. They already have a role to play. Wardancers need improving but not a whole lot. Their speed needs to go up and their ops need to be reworked. Whats the point of giving them reduced portal times anyways?

I am not 1 dimensional in my train of thought. There are other issues that need to be addressed in this game. That being said, this post is specifically discussing a new unique operation for each of the premade races, balancing them with Partaxians.

Render.... what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

"and your idea is poor, agree standard races need a superpower like paxes have OH, but those you have mentioned arent good/original/briliant enuf"

These are good and original. There is no operation or spell even remotely close to what these do. If you read each race description you would see that they fit the themes perfectly.

"and to keep it balanced, custom races should be able to pick those powers too (at a high price of course)"

Render....do you think before you start typing? The whole idea here is to give the other 4 pre-made races their own unique operation. Right now Partaxians are the only race with a unique operation. I think your missing the entire point and spirit of what Josh has proposed. LOL

@Valenka:
im pretty sure the coding of the game doesnt allow for altered building times for specific races. Im not 100% on this. This is also why we have construction science. Quantam already has 70% science bonus, i dont see it as a neccesary addition. Lets stay on topic and discuss Josh's proposed unique ops/spells. Improving the races actual attributes is a discussion for another thread.

The Camaar's race description said they 'steal other technologys'. Maybe we can apply the same basic concept of Josh's proposed Quantam operation of stealing agents and apply it to fighters, droids and bombers instead. This operation could steal a small % of one of those 3 units at random. This could alleviate the difficulty in coding, cuz Josh's original idea may be a tricky thing to code. My proposal seems to be more about stealing technology as opposed to stealing an operation which is more akin to stealing someone else's tactics.

The arguement that a Quantam stealing agents will start succeeding with ease with every casting is somewhat absurd. The amounts that would be stolen arent large enough to affect the next casting's results significantly. If the units being 'attacked' are restricted to just agents, wizards and soldiers (at random mind you) then i cant see this being overly devastating to an empire. I beleive with the right tweaking of numbers this operation would be balanced while adding a new element of strategy to the game.

We also have to keep in mind a few things about these new operations Josh has proposed...

....They are restricted to just the respective race. This will limit their use significantly. How many Partaxians are in each family since the introduction of Octarine Hurricane? Still just 1 or 2 at most. Youre not gonna see an entire family of Quantams, Camaar or Wardancers soley based on their new unique operation.

....These races also have other spells and operations and we only get 7 at once and 1 back per tick. Lets not forget that. The Revalon is the only one that i can see being used almost constantly....however....with the way Josh has it working currently, that wont be an issue. The longer it lasts, the less it will be abused.

....the difficulty to succeed with the aggressive ones he has proposed should be somewhat hard. We all know that using an operation is not a guaranteed success. In fact, i think the op system is buggy now the way it is. How many times have you failed No Fear or failed to get an Electric Storm off when you know you have more wizards with a 70% bonus to boot?! LOL

I hope that these proposed operations will be looked at seriously by the mod team and Ps. With the right tweaking i can see these being great additions not only to the respective races, but to gameplay and strategy as well.

it wasnt a statement about the mods or anything. Just lame in general thats all

trollface

lol

Its a crying shame that this thread ended up being 90% troll bullshit.

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. This game is dying and the mod team is one big dysfunctional mess. Instead of voicing your concerns about the this game and it's future, its turned into a 'who can be funnier than the last guy' competition.

I like to be a goof as much as the next guy....but seriously this is pathetic. Maybe there are people that play this game that actually give a shit what happens to it. Maybe most of you dont. Yes, im probably being a bit too serious....but....this is a serious problem. It needs to be taken seriously or we risk losing even more players.
