The Dev who went above and beyond

Hi there,

No, I'm very much in the office...

Currently breaking wing missions in new and exciting ways.

The one who was mentioned as being in japan was Justin, he's our main designer for wing missions.

Thanks,
Dom

Thanks dude for taking me back to 1984!

No matter what ever anyone says on here, sometimes including me, ED is an epic game :D
 
Hi there,

I knew i should have played computer games instead of answering questions...

Greece would have conquered the entire world by now in Civ 6.

Thanks,
Dom


OH ! Another Civ player !!!!!
Which Greece ? Gorgo or Pericles ?

Pangea or Continents ?
King or Emperor ?
Which Religion ?
How many wonders ?

Would you like some aluminium and gold in exchange of open borders to FD ?

Sorry about that ! Couldn't resist, one of my favourites devs plays one of my favourites games, besides Elite. :eek:
 
I've realized that if I want my sanity intact, I don't expect clear specs and I'll have to code some kind of hack to deliver what I think the user wants 'cuz users never provide clear specs - until they get something, then it's "that's not what we wanted" complaints galore.

I just say it that there will be phases - prototype where we will get major idea figured out, then first stage of proper code, then another meeting, then second stage or getting proper cut and design down.

Fact that client doesn't know prototype stage doesn't mean we should ignore it. Prototype it. Draw it. Mockup it. And discuss it of course.

Hi there,

I did a quick start, so didn't really make many choices.

I think I'm pericles. Probably a low to medium difficulty since it likely wouldn't default to hard.

I'm currently sending catapults and knights round to Egypt because she wiped out my friends.

Thanks,
Dom
 
Now there's a thought .......

Catapults for SRVs ..... could make use of those canisters of biowaste when we assault the planetary base :)

Hi there,

Just won it tonight with a conquest victory.

Pericles, prince, small map, continents.

Never founded a religion, but most of my cities got taken over by the australian shinto sect.

It was way too easy, so gonna change up to a higher setting for the next one.

Thanks,
Dom
 
OMG Dom, I never actually thought you would answer ! :eek:

Good man ! Cleo can be quite annoying, always asking someone to fight her wars in her place.

If you ever end up with Pericles again, you must know that his strong point is diplomacy and culture. You gotta seem him hoard all the city states in high difficulty, its unbelievable.
His Hoplites are nothing to sniff about, very efficient in the classical era !
Prince is the default difficulty, if that was easy for you then I suggest you start playing with king and beyond. Tho above prince the AI does not become smarter, it cheats instead !
Free science bonus, culture bonus, gold bonus, and starts depending on the difficulty chosen with either 1 or up to 3 settlers and up to 3 melee units. Which is A LOT for this game.
Religions can give HUGE perks, but you must be quick enough to found one ! If not then the best course of action is to allow a religion in your cities that will help your personal agenda.


...


And the topic has officially derailed.

Sorry Dom.

Seriously tho talk about dedication to your community !

Somebody give this man a medal !

The topic had run its course, so no worries about derailing.
