$40,000 seems like a pretty lofty goal.

Also the idea of a co-op adventure/puzzle game seems off. I remember how to advance through pretty much every scene in Space Quest. What are the chances you are going to find someone at the same point in the game that you are?

The daily deal is Star Drive for $15. Worth it?

I've heard its got interesting parts, but otherwise mediocre.

Its.... okay. It is a little difficult to use, enough to the point where you really wish it wouldn't have been real time. Ship design could be cooler if you didn't have to place EVERYTHING. I don't feel like I got my Not sure it is worth 15 IMO.

As long as that is true, I'm content. Miriam always annoyed me.

Miriam may be annoying, but she is the only leader who doesn't grow more insane as the game goes on. She starts, and remains at an acceptable level of (in)sanity. Everyone else gets drunk with power.

We must dissent.

I am working my way through another hard scoring game. I've found that it doesn't really matter if towns are being destroyed and the map is in chaos. In fact, a lot of times I just threw down cities in the center of the map and built a bunch of rock mines. By the second age I have most of what I need.

I enjoy the game enough. I agree that most of the god tokens and artifacts are mostly pointless.

Hmm Hmm...

I will say that I enjoy towns a lot. I bought it while I still haven't bought Gnomoria. Towns was money well spent. That being said, I agree with Hemmingjay. Towns is closer to Majesty than DF at this point.

In Towns you have a dungeon to press through and that gives you the idea of a mission to accomplish. For better or worse, you always have that idea of pushing towards getting to the "next level." In DF you have a city that responds to situations. The focus is more on the city than on the mission, until a force of darkness shows up...

It is open to interpretation what "DF clone" even means. Hand crafting a city and watching it rise and fall? I can say Towns, Gnomoria, and Goblin Camp can all scratch that urge.

The controls are a bit unintuitive for me and the building seems a bit wonky at times, but the idea certainly intrigues me.

But I have to wonder why every sector I jump into is apparently empty. :L
EDIT: disregard, I'm being a nub. :p

Then I too, am being a nub. I jumped around for 10 minutes and only found one sector of wreckage and one of asteroids. Any exploration advice?

In my tutorial game the Norse are in pretty bad shape. I gave the Greeks too many siege workshops and now they have crushed two Norse towns. Then bandits appeared right next to another norse town.

I was fretting at first, but then I realized it really isn't that hard to just create another Norse town. I know you are supposed to try to keep everyone alive, but you get points for destruction anyways.

Send personal mails to KaelGotRice if you have interest, and wait 2 weeks: I'm almost maxed out, we can schedule when and where to meet, etc.

Assuming I am in town, I will go. Not sure what I will bring on Thrawn, but Sedais can fly a BC with fleet support skills.

We should pick the day and time now, because we never manage to pick a day and time.
