L3O Horizon Game

Yeah I think human player has to either up the game difficulty (as well as adding the "scrap colonizers after first colony" game option), and/or throttle the expansion rate to match the general AI expansion rate.

Not sure to call this a bug...or an area of future play balancing...

Really dumb question: but I see that a planet "can buy food from traders to make up deficits".....so why would anyone starve? I can understand that without food surplus the population won't grow. At this point in the game development, I am completely ignoring food except for a few select t...

We could ask the devs for rush penalties such as any of the following: big dose of pollution 50% reduced production after the rush period for N turns penalty to the other planetary production types: i.e. you rush research tier...then one of the other tiers is reduced for N turns. Could be a species-...

"Destroy colonizer after first use" game option does nerf the ability to re-use the same colony ship rapidly for colonies 2-6 or so. Workaround: simply task 2 or more planets to build colonizers. Especially nerfs the intra-system colonization where a single colonizer can start many outpost...

How about a thread to collect interface enhancement requests?: 1. Idle ship counter/selector on the galaxy map: A nice colored square that shows the idle fleets. When I click that button, the focus cycles to each idle fleet. Currently swapping back and forth to the turn summary, and back for each sh...

Huge: seconded.

Thanks Bansheedragon correct. In fact I found that *i could dig on an AI planet* for a goody last night. Was ROFL time.

Seconded. The map can be quite busy with massive density of things going on. Since every system has multiple planets... Kind of would like an "adjustable average range diameter between stars" like what Sword of the Stars (the first and greatest) game does on the "disk" map config...

Re: Ashbery76: yeah at the moment it's like...here i'll just drop this colony-in-a-box module, add some credits, terraform, and the sucker just takes off Re: Lithari: i never think of myself as "colony rushing" but I get your point. I don't really want to colony rush...but DO want those ju...

The following is more for guidance to the devs once the bug-killing stage is over and the game-balancing-and-features phase can begin. Once past the fumbling few first games...in normal difficulty I'm now expanding so fast that the game is basically over by lvl 5 tech. In last night's game I had 13 ...

Regarding item 4: I can (sigh) settle for having a less than perfect estimate of salvo effectiveness or enemy ship health. I just want to avoid the overkill penalty for not knowing enough before I authorize the ship to fire. But...but...after being spoiled in Master of Orion2....there are so many ta...

In lieu of a "suggestions" forum section, let's collect some ideas on making the tactical combat more interesting and easy to control So let me start (and forgive if some are already there...I'm only on game start #4 and haven't seen much beyond small scale tactical combat since I'm either...

I'm also trying to determine that if instead you colonize a world with a dig-able good do you a) get the discovery automatically when the colony is created and/or b) the discovery is still there and must be manually dug out or c) something different happens

Got something there with the "play beyond victory" concept: 2nd victory chance for your "ascendant" race to figure out how to go "dormant", or to build a one-way warp gate to the Andromeda Galaxy, etc. Things missing from this game I'd luv to see in an expansion: Heroes...

Good to hear the out-of-memory error is being addressed!

I posted for gamersgate a review based on my vast (three games played into mid-game) experience with Horizon: _______________ *game is out of early access and is fully featured/playable* Interested in turn-based space empires games? If so, this is an automatic buy. Taking a bit from games Master of ...

I think I'll restart with this patch...in my current "normal" game I somehow am at war with the kor'tahz ancient race who were giving me quests at the same time.... even before I've even gotten into communication range with them. stopped being fun when three of their lvl 7 bombers came by ...

got same sort of out of memory error/crash. I sent an error report from the game start "report an issue" link from the Horizon game launcher. Would be a great idea if you guys did the same same so the dev can determine if it is the same thing hitting all of us.

"An A.I in my view has to play the game efficiently without cheating and role play the race in question." ...that is well said and really should would be a better subject line than the OP. Saracen provides good rebuttal/comments. However I hope I didn't provide the impression that I want a...

Nothing is more important than a challenging AI in turn-based strategy gaming not graphics not storyline not unit or research trees not movie-quality cut scenes not space-babes-in-armor (unless the game is *about* space babes in armor, then i change my mind) I have high hopes that this game can be m...
