Solar Conquest v0.97e

[Falconeye]

Anyone know any clans that host this?

I don't believe there are any specific clans that support the game but I think I've seen a few hosting bots for it.

 

[gtsimos]

I rate maps only to how much i enjoyed them so i give this map a rate of 5/5

 

[TKF]

Yea the upgrade bug is still present in .89c, Laser upgrades dissapear

I cannot replicate the bug and I can't see why they should disappear.

I use triggers to eventually reveal techs as you research pre-requisites. You need to research Spectrum Analysis first before it appears. I had to do this since I added so much techs in to the game and at some point no techs could be research cuz of only 12 icons if you pick the wrong ones.


If you find any bugs I would like to know.

 

[SoulFire]

Some suggestions:
A hero unit in the space and on the ground would be great (Commander) with different auras and support skills. (maybe a final tech or an expensive unit and tech). More upgrades for the civilian buildings because I hate building a lot of those.

Personally I don't think the game needs a hero unit, it has enough depth as it is with all of the other features. But I agree with the extra upgrades on civilian buildings for a LARGE cost of course.

Since the game operates with pair numbers, I can possible double the food costs of civilian structurtes, or simply halve the food produced by the terrotories while doubling income. In that way you need less civilian structures. Also increased the cost of them.


And I have no plans of adding hero units in the game. But I plan to add a quick recenter ability to the camera controls (F2), so you can instantly pan there you are being attacked last time (last text notice).

Another thing you could possibly do is create a function that merges all previous civilian buildings into one big one. In Vampirism Beast for example once you build a gold fountain it takes all of the previous gold mines and gold wells and incorperates their income into this one building.

 

[The_Seeker]

I have two suggestions here that I think you should really consider:

1ark Matter ships recently recieved a buff reducing the damage the take from laser(fusion craft) attacks which led me to believe you were moving toward a rocks, paper, scissor attempt at spacecraft but with later versions I haven't found this to be the case.

I propose you add a vulnerability to Dark Matter craft along the lines of:

Tenuous Plating: Dark Matter Plating, while energy absorbent, is extremely tenuous to physical stress induced by explosive ordinance. All Dark Matter Craft take an extra 20% in damage from rocket attacks

Currently I'm pretty sure Fusion Craft outmatch most of the Fission Craft (Mostly in the lower tiers, Fission Capitol Ships are really versatile and I use them often) and laser attacks are already super-effective against ship plating so I think this addition would balance space out in a nice rocks/papers/scissors

Fission<Fusion<Dark Matter<Fission

2: I think it'd be an interesting addition if you could somehow put a land-able asteroid in the center of the asteroid belt with extra CPs on it or something. This would make holding the asteroid belt essential to controlling trade and fleet passage throughout the system as one could mount a sizable defense of Ground to Space Weaponry on the surface of the asteroid as well as your normal space defenses.

I'd wouldn't give much space to the surface of said asteroid as it'd be a bit unbalanced stacking tons of GTS lasers there late in the game. I'd say leave enough room for say 3-4 cannons and maybe a few other buildings with a bit of space in between.

Game's coming along great either way though, I've always been impressed by this map.

No, if it get hit accidentally by orbital bombardments you suddenly lose all income in one hit. And also it's an unrealistic suggestion to the game. If someone attacks your civilian buildings they shouldn't be able to take all your income on one blow. It looks wierd if all your people live in a huge civilian block.

This isn't vampirism.


Edit_1

I plan to change some of the high size models ingame to reduce map size a little for adding more models and add more ships into the game (which also includes more imports of models) and some editing and adding features into the map. It might take a couple of days....


...

Edit_2

I have changed the food system radically for 0.90, also with several adjustments and a new orbital defense structure.

I have changed some of the ingame models with a better one and one which takes less space in the map, also able to import a new ship model which allows me to add more ships without using the same ship models to much over and over again (as you might have noticed when you have played, you see that same models are used several times for different roles).

Ship Model nr7

Model exported from Cruiser Command

If you have any good ship ideas and ability suggestions (and not garbage suggestions), I would like to know it asap before the release of 0.90.

 

[lief1]

How about a mothership which can actually land on the planet becoming a building which can train marines and workers and then can later lift off and is a ship again.

 

[The_Seeker]

Just shooting ideas out there to maybe spark something innovative, but this just came to mind:

How about a Super Capitol Ship that's so large it has its own interior that could be boarded and fought over. Make the ship be an immensely powerful space combat vessel with it's weakness being the ability for your enemy to board and destroy it from within.

Maybe have a Control Point or two within the ship and allow structures to be built inside? A city-ship idea via Stargate Atlantis.

I know Oblivion's are currently meant to be the end-all capitol ship, but maybe offer two different paths to space superiority with Ion Tech's strength being the devastating Ion Storm Effect and the other specialization being a near-Antarion capable ship.

((It also seems that this is perhaps TOO similar to the current Antarions so maybe you would have this replace the Antarion entirely; since the battle station is already mobile it would make sense to simply change it so that it is an immense ship rather than a manned building. Maybe change the Galactic Cannon model to the Antarion model? Gives it more of a death-stary purpose by making it entirely geared toward planetary/fleet anihalation))

 

[Lungdrache]

Please, when will come the next update?

 

[Lungdrache]

Can you give me the Model of the ship:

 

[Falconeye]

No, if it get hit accidentally by orbital bombardments you suddenly lose all income in one hit. And also it's an unrealistic suggestion to the game. If someone attacks your civilian buildings they shouldn't be able to take all your income on one blow. It looks wierd if all your people live in a huge civilian block.

I wasn't trying to insult your map or anything I was just giving suggestions.

 

[TKF]

I wasn't trying to insult your map or anything I was just giving suggestions.

Sorry if you felt that I responded hard. Wasn't my purpose of intimidating you. Suggestions that in this case could be unrealistic in maps like solar conquest.

How about a mothership which can actually land on the planet becoming a building which can train marines and workers and then can later lift off and is a ship again.

No!

Please, when will come the next update?

Any moment, Lungdrache. It's being released with the new Battlecruiser and tons of adjustments.

The camera thing was much more trigger intensive that I could have imagined. At least it should work somewhat now, although a bit buggy sometimes. Right click to activate it in F2 menu.

 

[lief1]

It would be neet if there was a damaging system; attacks on a ship have a chance to hit engines, stopping ship movement, weapons preventing attacks, sensors giving miss chance.

 

[The_Seeker]

Hey...can anyone see these posts? I just joined and was wondering if my posts are simply overlooked or there's some technical problem not letting me post

 

[H3lios]

I really don't like the idea of consolidating economy. If you clump all your buildings together in a huge line that is waiting for an orbital attack or nuke to land on them well, that's your own fault. Spread out your buildings and it won't be as bad when the lucky Vanya barrage hits your planet. I do however support an EXPANSION of the economy system where more civilian type buildings could be produced for different effects. Perhaps even a population system or something.

 

[Arisato]

aargh, when someone is experienced in playing this i'm sure he'll win, Q _ Q i always lose to huntere15, is there anyway to balance this , coz whenever who's fast then they win, Q _ Q

 

[H3lios]

That's sort of how you should win >.<. More experienced players should have the advantage over less experienced players. Changing the units around to suit noobs is bad because either way, the experienced player will just take advantage. Not good, Not good, Not good! Just play more and learn to get better!

 

[DarkKnight]

Or you can ask huntere15 to teach you how he beats you every time =D, people who are good, if they're not total idiots, tend to like to teach their skills to others, if that doesn't work, just play with someone else XD, or become his ally.

 

[Hunter9G]

Or be a sinister little bastard adn turn everyone against him. no matter how pro nayone is, no one can face 9 other players all at once and win.

 

[H3lios]

New Feedback!

Economy

I really disagree with the new civilian buildings layout. There was enough space on all the planets to accommodate lots of civilian buildings near the starting area. Reducing these buildings and increasing their effective is a poor idea IMO and should be the choice of the player through the proper economy upgrade. I suggest making the upgrade come by default and simply making the player pay the cost of the building again. There should be a choice between few, powerful buildings and lots of smaller, less effective ones.

My suggestion, leave the buildings free and give players the chance to upgrade for double economy once for the same price and then make the building take up 4 economy slots with another upgrade. However, the 2nd upgrade will require and upgrade from the economy research center.

ULTRA MEGA HUGE DEATHSTAR TURRETS IN SPACE!!!!1one

They cannot fire on planets anymore. When I try to shoot any planet it says "Cannot fire on neutral units." When I have 100% upgrades and research.

 

[TKF]

The reasons of halving number of civilian structures is:

Advantages

1. Easier for noobs, they tend to not use all their available food
2. Less skilled players are actually a little more threat then before
3. Spending less time by building tons of civilian buildings when you get food available
4. You can have the economical benefit of controlling more planets and still having 100 food as maximum limit
5. Less space used
6. On planet Novacia, you have more tight building space than other planets, so less civilian buildings gives more room which is precious on this planet

Disadvantages

1. Less civilian buildings can make your population in the game less visible
2. Your economy reduction over time happen much faster when you have less food then food used
3. Less civilian buildings makes it easier for your enemy to destroy then

But I consider the advantages for this greater than the disadvantages. You can relatively quickly build up your economy if you would lose some structures.


About the planet buster cannon bug I'm going to fix it asap.




And about the other suggestions I'll consider them....

 

[SasuhKun]

I did never said this, but... thanks TKF. So many cool maps developing (Yours, Naruto battle siege, Avatar, Lords of Middle Earth) But I am too busy to play them D:

and I like Solar Conquest so much... ç-ç

 

[Hunter9G]

Also for the civ buildings, make thme have more hp and more armor then regular ones, and instead of destroying them, ahnialating economy if oyu lose a cp, just make thme degrade in level of upgrade (like inside Empires and Heroes).

 

[TKF]

Sorry about the quickfix delay, but it did take the entire night to figure out why the menus were unselectable. When heroes have 0 vision range, they for some odd reason become unselectable by using F1 and F2. I didn't know that until I guessed it. Weird blizzard bugs.

0.90e being released tomorrow.

 

[Jargalhurts]

Thanks to TKF and Callez for making this epic map. And i have to say that units and buildings need more MODEL AND ICONS. it's really confusing to use many spaceships with the same icon. You can't really tell which one is which. And planets need some balances. Some of them has wide space, some are tight some have big-ass doodads that block your camera and so on. anyways 4.5/5

I'll consider adding unique icons on ships later. I try to keep the map size low as possible to improve download time. Maybe in a few future version we have new ship icons, at least for each model. I try to keep the map below 2.5mb.


The planets terrains are different and has advantages and disadvantages. For example on Novacia, you have little space, but the many bridges makes ground invasion harder as you can fortify positions. Behind the bridges if your enemy makes a landfall. At croturnal you have wide open space, but it's easier to make ground invasions on croturnal as for more attack angles.

The point of the planets is to be diverse and different. so each one requires differnet tactics an skills to conquer.

 

[Jargalhurts]

why did you removed things like desolator nodes, laser fences and repair drones?

 

[TKF]

why did you removed things like desolator nodes, laser fences and repair drones?

Desolator nodes were quite useless and I didn't see the purpose of building these, also to make space for Planetary Missile Launcher and artillery, I had to remove the most useless structure the Ground Defense Builder had, so I ended up with removing desolator node. If I would readd them again, I have to remove a defense structure.

I couldn't fix the laser fences cuz it's known to cause fatal errors. Continuous lighting effects are bound to cause fatal errors and thus unacceptable and therefore removed.


Repair drones were way to easy way to fix your capital ships into the enemy front line. Normal builders are slower and not that easy to get to front lines. I could readd them again, but them they would cost a lot more due to the speed. If I would readd it, it will be a repair cruiser or something.

_________

0.91 released. It features Good vs Evil mode where there is enforced 2 teams in the game which cannot betray each other, a fun mode.


I did a couple of changes which I couldn't possible test alone, so I need your feedback on it:

1. I reworked the Planetary Laser Defense triggers, if it doesn't work let me know. I need to know if it works since i cannot test that alone with no players.
2. Good vs Evil autobalancing. It happens when a player leaves the game and when the odds are about 3:1.
3. The new ships

 

[TheOverWhelming]

The lag should be reduced, a lot. It becomes impossible for me to actually play a long game in this effectively.
From what I understand, it's from the towers trying to hit other planets in the Boundary areas.
I suggest you pause all the turrets on each planet after a few seconds of it being "finished" then have some sort of check to see if an enemy enters the planet so you can unpause the turrets. Of course, it'd be a good idea to have a check to see if any enemies of a player are on the planet every bit in case of bugs or in case of a player unallying another one on the planet. This'll reduce lag when attacking a planet considerably.
Oh, and clean up memory leaks wherever possible..

 

[Hunter9G]

I'm getting alot of complaints in game about mutagenic lifeforms. if two peopel pool resources to one of them, they cna rush it effectively enough to be the only space army there and just launch mutas like crazy on all planets.

 

[Carter_117]

hey tkf, im just saying but biological warfare is quite rigged if used well, trust me not a noob and i was playing with some quite good players, however one guy has just bio rushed for the past 4-5 games and it seems unstoppable, i managed to old with gattling turrets on the last game however it seems you spend so much money on defense and you lose a few points you tend to lag behind, and he managed to do this to EVERY planet except for his of course, and then while we were either dead (everyone else) or extremely weak (me) he just sends down a huge wave of akulas, so please make bio harder to get, cost more or just put it up further the line. as in middle late game it is pretty balenced, thanks

 

[Arcmage]

Surrender is broken. The player who has surrendered can still attack the person they surrendered to by simply manual attacking and there is nothing the other player can do except manual attack back (which means that highly expensive warships can be easily killed by lots of little ships). The player who was surrendered to cannot unally his vassal and cannot kill him in any way his only hope to use normal weapons is if both players agree to a treaty then break it. I nearly got obliterated this way luckily after destroying all my fleets the other person made a treaty so I could break it and I managed to win. Vassals should have an anti friendly fire system and there owner should be able to use a command to defeat them instantly (otherwise there is no reason to except a surrender)

 

[TKF]

Well, I can put biological higher up the tiers since I've added spore destroyer which infest planets.


I'll add anti attack for the surrendered players so they are not able to attack the players they are slaves for. You have control over a player which has surrendered.



About the leaks it's not much I can do. I've cleaned every possible leak I could find, but having 30+ periodic triggers which the complex games depends on takes its toll on the gameplay also the numerous numbers of units, asteroid auto mining system and GTS system and transport units to planet system. The map has so many features that lagg is unavoidable.

 

[Hunter9G]

The problem with bio was not because of its low tier tech. the problem was really that the player was being fed resources by a person on another planet (me). he simply siphoned resources at intervals, both minerals and currency, and was able to easily rush the tech. this could arguably happen with any tech that you can get though, so thats not important.

The riggedness of the mutas is the fact that they spawn form eggs at .75 seconds. raise this to 2 seconds and also make the evolution for mutagenic beasts longer to get.


on another note, i found that atlas were a bit too powerful. when i played against arcmage he had about 4 all together and i did absolutely nothing with my goliaths. this stems form what i've said earlier about being fed money by your fellow planeteer.

To solve THAT problem it is probably best that you input a tax on currency (putting it on minerals would just make it too expensive) at about 15%. that would deter people from willingly feeding resources to each other

 

[H3lios]

Well, making a change to biological warfare isn't the problem here. The problem is that fighting against two economies is an uphill battle that only a very skilled player would be able to win. If you really want to nerf two economies, make some kind of trade system for people who just want to share resources where the players will have to use either space-based or land-based transporters to move resources. This would nerf resources in the way that they must be intercepted and can prevent players from simply pooling one another.

On land, players with trade docks on opposite sides of the planet could have some system where a truck is loaded with resources and drives to the player on the other side of the planet. To prevent exploitation, players have to build these docks on any sector save the middle. For the resource trade docks in space, they must be built near planets.

Easier for noobs, they tend to not use all their available food

Then they should either read the quests or figure it out. If they can't figure it out after a hint in the beginning that says "Build civilian structures to increase your income" and "Capture more territory (Circles of power) to allow for more civilian structures (Food)" then they really don't deserve a chance to win anyway. This can be added into the hint system in the beginning and amended to the quest log.

[*]Less skilled players are actually a little more threat then before

Seriously, as I said, if these guys can't figure out to build more civilian structures at the beginning then they don't deserve help, especially something that alters the game so drastically.

[*]Spending less time by building tons of civilian buildings when you get food available.

The upgrades I proposed will solve this problem very easily. Allowing players to have many civilian buildings which are not upgraded or few civilian buildings which are upgraded 2 times over.

[*]You can have the economical benefit of controlling more planets and still having 100 food as maximum limit

I don't think I understand what you mean here. However, what I think you're saying is that you can have more economy from having more than one planet because you will never hit food cap. In response to this I propose simply raising the food cap to 125 if maxing out at 100 food was ever too little.

[*]Less space used
[*]On planet Novacia, you have more tight building space than other planets, so less civilian buildings gives more room which is precious on this planet

My solution of allowing civilian structures to be upgraded 3 times over solves this problem. You have the choice of either consuming 4 population in one building, 2 population in one building or 1 population in one building. Those kinds of options will easily solve the space issue on Novacia.

The option allows players to use more or less space for population as dictated by their own will. Both options can be advantageous depending on the situation.
[/LIST]

1. Less civilian buildings can make your population in the game less visible.

1. 
   
   Yes...
   
   
   

   Your economy reduction over time happen much faster when you have less food then food used
   [*]Less civilian buildings makes it easier for your enemy to destroy then

   
   This is a serious problem. I owned a huge chunk of someone's economy with specialists and a single bombardment because he didn't have the ability to properly space himself out. My proposed solution allows for players to properly space themselves out and at the same time conserve space while keeping the relative complexity of the economy system (Which is a good sort of complexity XD).
   
   
   

   But I consider the advantages for this greater than the disadvantages. You can relatively quickly build up your economy if you would lose some structures.

   I consider the advantages of my solution a better option than this one which leaves these blaring disadvantages.

1. 
   
   So, here's what I suggest.
   
   Manual Trade
   

   Have players use convoys to trade resources rather than the F11 menu.

   
   Thrice over building upgrade
   

   Return economy to normal and allow players to upgrade civi buildings twice over. 1 population taken -> 2 population taken -> 4 population taken. Two population comes free, 4 population comes with an upgrade.

   
   Improve help system
   

   Affix the economy system to a quick hint in the beginning of the game and into the quest menu.

 

[Hunter9G]

or just do what i said and tax currency...

also i forgot to mention the tactical missile launcher built for defense drone fails. the missiles auto destroy on my own planet half the time, and oter times its too weak to do any damage at all and dies before reaching a target.

 

[TKF]

The riggedness of the mutas is the fact that they spawn form eggs at .75 seconds. raise this to 2 seconds and also make the evolution for mutagenic beasts longer to get.

No, the spawn rate is 4 seconds. If you don't have a strong ground presence it's your problem.

The problem with bio was not because of its low tier tech. the problem was really that the player was being fed resources by a person on another planet (me). he simply siphoned resources at intervals, both minerals and currency, and was able to easily rush the tech. this could arguably happen with any tech that you can get though, so thats not important.

.....

To solve THAT problem it is probably best that you input a tax on currency (putting it on minerals would just make it too expensive) at about 15%. that would deter people from willingly feeding resources to each other

Problem is that you cannot detect resource transfers in warcraft when giving resources to another player. Instead I will add a 30 min restriction of pooling to allies to prevent super rushes at start, or maybe completely remove gold sharing ingame and with leavers resources if this seems to be a very big problem. I will not add more running triggered systems as I also get complaints of super laggs. This tends to occur in full house games where everyone has 200 units as the warcraft engine isn't made for so many units.

 

[H3lios]

Also, I suggest allowing players to scuttle their own civilian buildings to move them around. It's fairly annoying to have to shoot your own structures if you need to make a repair or want to relocate.

Removing gold sharing would serious impair the strength of joint planet players which would open up a whole new can of worms in terms of balance.

Hunter, you do know that i think the first time he rushed muta all by himself and killed everyone in less then 30 minutes..., im just saying that i think it should be a little bit higher as TKF has suggested considering how uber it is in the early game, and yea i also agree the mass beasts is kind of hard to beat :\ and i also found some of the mutegens wall jumping my titanium walls. i died once by that and it was pretty frustrating. just suggestions xD

 

[lief1]

You could also make it so currency is traded in increments of 1 that would really annoy people and deter giving it away. Or even make it so the only way is to buy an item and only transports can carry it so you need to move them manually to the other players- no triggers sued that way and it annoys people too so that's fun.

 

[Arcmage]

I just played a massively long game with H3lios and I noticed a few things that shold be changed. The most important one is that planetary shield generators should not stack (if you try to build more than 1 over a world it should die), I had 2 pretty much indestructible worlds do to having about 4 planetary shields each and 30 GTS lasers. Secondly I would recommend making it so certain units cant use the warp ability or warp drives because Antarions with warp drives are very ridged and even worst is the devastator with a warp drive. You can mealy warp it into the middle of your opponents fleet where it explodes destroying everything or warp it behind a world and then ram the world with it.
P.S. you still haven't fixed surrender please do

 

[H3lios]

Arcmage!!!!

Stop posting my strategies in public places you douche!!!

 

[TKF]

Thanks for reporting abusing tactics which never has come to my mind. Well, the combination of devastator and warp tech wasn't my intention when I created it. Suiciding into fleets and killing them off sound to imba. That's to dirty. Removing the devastators ability to warp while using overload, and also removing the ability for a few seconds after warp should prevent such abuse.

The main intention with Devastator was a manual run in to enemy fleet if they are to weak to kill it at distance or expensive way of bombarding planets by suiciding, which isn't smart unless you have a great economy to support such tactics.

Although I'm going to add a new ship in the future version which makes a very effective lethal counter to warp tactics...

I've already sent 0.91b to Callex, so I'll add it to todo list for next versions.

 

[TheOverWhelming]

Don't disable multiple shield generators.
I look at it as extra juice.

If you think its leaks in those systems post them somewhere to make sure that the systems are indeed leakless. And did you take into consideration what I said about Planet's land stuff attacking other planet land stuff?

 

[Hunter9G]

all of that defense can be broken. everything has its weaknesses and can be defeated. i still think that the muta tech is fine where it is, just the whole pooling resources is the problem.

speaking of which, i believe you can make a tax on resources since inside WW1: Road to War, they hada tax of 33% on it, so only 66% of the resources you give your ally is actually recieved. you can try and ask the creator how he did that if you want.

 

[TheOverWhelming]

There's a "Player - Tax" action.
