Update. Something has happened and I am not in the mood to do this, or play anything else for that matter. When I have something new I will post it, hopefuly not too long.

Good luck, Efthimos. A shame that reallife requires so much constant attention, isn't it?

You are always talking of a patch. There are two patches of Ascendancy: 1.8.5 and Antagonizer.

Both can be downloaded here.


EDIT: Looking closely at the post efthimios I guess that is already known.

[Borodin]

Yes, it is. We already discussed the pair of patches and what they do in the first few pages of this lengthy thread.

They have been saying the are making ASC2 for a long time now. They havent released a update on the production of it in very long. The logic factory seemed to have banked alot in its new Hydra development engine which hasnt produced a game yet. Thats a big investment for a little company.

Though it appears they are taking beta testers for their new game Seeker, so there might be hope still

I am still amazed from time to time to see that some people consider this game one of the best... :blink:

I think its a really fun game in some ways more so then Master of Orion. The best though? I dont think so but it did easliy have the potential to be one of the best.

Some small tweaks to the A.I and late game planet micromangement and it could have been one of the all time best 4x strategy games

[Blood-Pigggy]

Nah, I don't think it's better than MOO.
It's not as polished.

I find Ascendancy's space combat , ship and planet building to be much more fun then MOO's. Though I addmit planet building becomes a pain later on. Plus ascendancy was a much prettier game

MOO has a much better A.I and things like its diplomacy feature trade,non-aggresion packs etc.. is just way cooler.

If I could combine the best of both those games throw in a dash of multi-player and I would have the ultimate 4x Strategy game :evil: mwhaaa!!!
