Anyway, this game was great, because I started out as the Greeks (strangely enough
) and was immedietly attacked by every single country. Fortunately I had the foresight to build up my military beforehand, so my frigates easily repulsed the initial assault.
Then I took the offensive, and my assault frigates captured the English and American cities. After that it was just expanding outward and building my military up. At one point the Egyptians made a raid on my border, and I retaliated by bombing the hell out of their planets and annexing them in the name of " national security"
I fought at least four wars but started none of them, and I always ended larger than when I had begun
The mod is actually pretty neat ... it's not animated, but I can honestly say I didn't miss it one bit. Most obvious problems is that it's not finished, the fourth age tech tree is empty and the civilizations are pretty much the same as civ standard. The other thing is that once you get to the heavy ships like the Battleship and Titan there's pretty much no reason to build anything else - the Titan has something like 40 attack / 40 defense and 11 hit points. If your opponent gets them before you, you're pretty much screwed - all you can do is sell yourself as dearly as you can.
(The Japanese actually took out one of my Titans when I sent it to attack Kyoto unescorted, but I had something like 40 of them so it didn't make much differece
)
