• I've just noticed that since this game is in Advanced mode, the eggs aren't shown on the scanner. Is this a good thing?

• Hmm. I don't really thinks so. It could serve to make the game different in an interesting sort of way, but I think preferably they should always be shown?

• Yeah. For some reason I decided that in Advanced Mode, neither eggs or flags should be shown. I don't what my logic was there, as it will make all the missions much harder for the losing side. I'll change it.

• Yeah that was my thinking too, when a player(s) suddenly and unexpectedly find they have lost it might be a little frustrating. At least if they can see the eggs/flags they might have a chance to react, but at least see how/why they are losing.

• Steve, one small observation, the Queen Alien has a human voice. You might want to change that at some point in the future. :)

• Damn those pesky aliens! Thanks for letting me know. Any offers to do some Queen Alien sounds gratefully accepted.

• So far I've managed to kill 3 of my own units. :(

• I thought that was monkey doing the killing, lol. Oh dear.

• i was wondering what was going on. I saw Clarke shot down by friendly fire but it didnt get recorded in my game log and i didnt know if it was explained in either of yours what happened. I thought Deadlime had managed to kill the other two as again it doesnt show in my log.

• in advanced mode now your log only shows things which you actually saw happen.

• much more realistic :) I was thinking about your Terminator suggestion. You could use this in your SNAFU type missions. An unknown assassin who is actually a Terminator. Once the other players find out who the assassin is they would need to team up to kill it.

• Not a bad idea mate. You should join in with the mission creating. :)

• would love to mate but time seems to be against me at the moment. I just about manage to take my turn every few days recently. I'll try and keep up though and post idea's if i can.

• Just had a small problem with my turn in that my PC ran out of memory when I killed Alien 9, causing the alien to explode which set off the grenade my unit was carrying. I've sorted it now. Just thought I'd mention it in case you wondered why Alien 9's death wasn't mentioned in the log.

• What's happening here guys? I'm holding back from taking my turn because Monkey says he had I problem with the last turn. Looking at the log it says the Alien Queen was killed, yet she is still alive but seriously wounded...

• I was just waiting for confirmation from Monkey that I should formally kill the Queen. Shall I just do it? She should be dead, but just want to make sure everyone agrees.
  
  Sod it, I'll just do it. Done. :)
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Lol. I shouldn't imagine he will complain about that. Am I ok to take my turn now? :)
  Posted by Deadlime 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yep. Feel free to try and wipe each other out. I need all the advantages I can get!
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve, did you get monkey's message about my units (4 and 5 I assume) not being killed by a grenade blast? I'm holding back from taking my turn until they are manually killed or whatever. :)
  Posted by Deadlime 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• I did but I've not had chance to do it yet. Give me a few hours - stuck at work at the mo. :)
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• No problem. :)
  Posted by Deadlime 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Done now.

• After almost 3 months of play, it's finally come down to 1 man vs 1 alien.
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yeah, this has been another good one. If you manage to win that will be quite some comback! You were down to 2 units before myself and monkey barely lost any.
  
  For future games I think the Alien numbers should be increased to 12 (11 + Queen), but we should drop the impregnator feature. What do you think?
  Posted by Deadlime 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Sounds like a good idea. I think the impregnator feature is interesting in general, but it tends to unbalance the games if the aliens get a few kills in.

• Great epic game. :) I was undecided at the end what to do; grab an egg and run, or try and kill the last alien. I figured if I grabbed an egg, the last alien would easily hunt me down.
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yeah I really enjoyed that one. The only downer for me was monkey killing my Queen so early on.
  
  I think at the end you had little or no chance whichever descision you made. I was ready to either track you down or run away, depending on what you did. You did well to take it to the wire after looking all but down and out so early in the game.

• You and Frazzmac seemed to be having an epic battle at the top of the map. I was just lucky that you ended up killing each other.
  
  My one saving grace was that I did get a shot at your alien in the penultimate turn, and it missed by what must have been a pixel. Maybe if it had hit, what could have been... :)

• I've made this change now, btw. Forgot to mention.
  Posted by SteveSmith 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Great. It still says "Units on side 1: 10" on the game settings, btw. :)
  Posted by Deadlime 15 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks. The mission description is just a bit out of date. Will be fixed later. :)
