L3O Horizon Game

The cooldown is task force based since all orders are task force based. Yes it could be better if there was also a ship based check but it adds some complications for some really extremely rare situations. Oh, well, but then you are prone to simple exploits. Basic one is: Take out ship from the fle...

The idea is that ships should not be able to flee too easily so there would be a 1 round of delay where they are vulnerable. But they are, anyway. Just because retreat+execute still will leave them vulnerable for the rest of this turn. Problem is, they was _too_ vulnerable. :) But of course the pla...

The cooldown is on the task force so the planet doesn't matter. Aha. Now we have new set of the interesting questions! ;) 1. How exactly cooldown managed? Ship-by-ship, or for the fleet in whole? If it's ship-related, everything is good. But if it's to fleet, there are more possibilities for non-in...

Hmm. Fine difference. Ok, got it, thank you!

(It seems, it's inevitable all-around war here. *sigh* As every captured planet lead to "stop expansion" warning, and eventually to war that forces me to capture even more planets!

Sorry I disagree with you on this one. I think it should stay in case the player wants to watch it to stay consistent with the option. Well, it's pure visual, so I cannot disagree here. :) (I also considered allowing them to be controllable only when it's non-combatants and you hit engage but it's ...

When using the Unload/Redeploy orders to transfer ships *down* to the planet it sets a 5 turn cool-down for automatic resupplying the task force from a planet. This is so it won't be exploited (otherwise it will quickly refill and can be transferred back to the garrison to strengthen it, over and o...

Sorry, I just filed wrong report about battle outcome - I mistaken planets, and it's evident in the turn log. Please, ignore my report.

*sigh* Ok, I expected it. Well, second proposal is valid still: can you disable "engage" button for pure NC-fleets then?

Aha! So basically this replenish is not free, but sucks garrisons for it, right? Or it's somewhat more complicated? Anyway, I know why I didn't get replenishment then: I manually pulled out troops from barracks on the whole system to get at least _one_ fleet ready. Still I want to hear how exactly i...

Well, it could be arguable question, if only one, killing ship receive experience. But as experience is distributed equally for the whole fleet, I believe, I must get experience for the self-destructed ships too. It's basically the same as killing it with fire, only even more complicating (so defini...

Well, my last problem with invaders was that they "intercepted" by any planet with invasion order, and, I believe, it was fixed. But after my last turns I noticed that I never got "Invade" message at all - even when I supposed to have it! For example, when my fleet have invaders ...

As I see, now non-combatants flee from battle automatically. It makes the new and fresh problem. :) 1. Before this feature was implemented, I could select "Flee", and look on auto-flee result - or I can use "Engage", and try to minimize my losses. Now they are equal. Only in seco...

Report sent. Game crashed (as usual) after I carelessly left the computer and it got blocked (stupid Win8!). So I had to replay turn in question. Second time only Lezgoon was upset, even if my only related actions was pressing "End turn" button, and killing some Tantiks. :) It was five tur...

As I noticed, now I can get experience. Have no idea why, but still looks good. :) But I get exp for 1. Killing ships and 2. Capturing ships. If ships got self-destroyed after capturing, I got nothing! Is it intended to be so? And why then? Ship is destroyed after all! :) (Side-question: I never tri...

I believe, before last patch all my troops slowly regenerated up to ship capacity. But now it's several turns already, and all my ships are on the orbits of the my planets. With barracks, space station and docks, if it matters. Nothing. They are still empty. Only one suspicious issue: all this plane...

Well, sorry for being so rarely here. It's because I have not much free time, and most of it divided between family, home work and other activities. But I had to draw your attention to this "hostility" question again. :) Two situations: 1. Kort'hanz are "hostile", but not in war....

Thank you again! (But I'll wait for the full patch.

*sigh* Zaimat , your "full invasion" just hit me again, as described in the first post of this topic. :( It's annoying. :/ Let me re-describe the problem for you. Situation is like this: 1. There are 2 close enemy planets with defense forces of 350k and 320k soldiers. 2. I have 5 invading ...

Thank you!

Hmm. Sounds wrong for me. Can it be changed at least for non-combatants? They cannot help to the colony anyway. Otherwise it's pure slaughter.
