my mouse is *meep*in slow...

Are you running the game in DosBOX?

I never had any problems with mouse speed in Dosbox though I do have to speed the game up with Ctrl-F12 to make it run smooth.

:bye:

well, I love the game, found it yesterday and researched with my Orfas already the whole tree.. getting annoyed by the micromanagement and the fact that I can demolish all my researching planets.. but so what..
but, I still have one problem: in order to win, what do I have to accomplish? destroy all the other races :eeeeeh: or what?

:help:

Well theres a couple of ways to win.

The 1/3 win- The easiest and the one most people get is what is known as 1/3 win. When you control 1/3 of the galaxy (it has to be connected) you win the game you expanded so far no other race can stop you. If you leave choice worlds in alien hands that break up your empire you can control much more then 1/3

The Peace ending- you get this one when you have a alliance with all living races in the galaxy and usher in a era of peace.

The Extinction ending- this happens when you completly wipe out all alien races.

There is also a ending when you take over all the other races home systems, though I can't remember what that ending is called.

Thats all the ways to win I have found in the game.

thank you

I know about peacefull and 1/3 endings, few ago ya told me about the extiontion one.
Any other?

Master Invader.
Hypercosmic Saboteur.
Lord of Subversion.
Interstellar Coup Master.

If you lack something to do for a few years you could try getting all of these ranks.

Very good game, glad the AI patch was added which makes it more interesting.

For some reason I think Civilisations is so ripped from this game

What possibilities are there to destroy alien colonies? Can I only invade them or is there a chance to completely wipe them of the planet's surface?

There is a one-use ship module that destroys stuctures on a planet.
But it doesn't destroy (atleast) outpost and the "main" colony building.

so it isn't possible to completely destroy a colony

edit: but if you do destroy nearly anything on a planet near endgamg, it's likely that the planet will be stuck building a ship with >10k turns left.
