Is there any way to make it stop repeating the same sentence at the beginning of every single turn?
Turn the voice volume down?

I have to do that, because eventually they started to annoy me.

When I'm playing against the Hive (my buddy -loves- them) I set up about a dozen fleets, all with jammers, set to hit a dozen different colonies all at once. Most of the fleets just have a jammer and a few token combat ships, but there are 3 main fleets with the actual attack forces. He calls it Lizard Roulette because he never knows which ones to defend against and which to ignore. (lizard because I play Tarkas a lot)

If your playing as morrgi then it's possible to build a fleet which moves faster than the distance of most scanners so they don't get the one turn warning before you arrive. This also stops the hive intercept tactic :)

This is also possible with Humans, and I also believe Zuul. If the planets are particularly close, its even possible with Tarka I believe. Liir get slowed down by the planet unfortunately, and its pretty rare, if it happens at all, they can arrive in one turn. But generally, once anti-matter stage is reached, the Hiver better be winning, or their going to be hard pressed to defend all their planets.


My own strategy against the Hiver is to simply have a fleet go to a planet destination that is beyond the intended target. Once its in range to reach the target and one or more other colonies in one turn, I divert course to one of those colonies.  This only works with Tarka and Morrigi, of course.

Mine is to simply send jammers to each of their worlds that would land simultaneously to the actual assault fleet and hope they pick the wrong one to send their ships to.

I've tried my hand with Humans, Zuul, Hiver, Liir and Morrigi. Tarka's are the only one I haven't tried. I like Hivers and Morrigi best. Hivers have a really nice synergy with Shotgun Bursters and Morrigi with Phasers(I usually go the Particle Beam > Phaser jump) Getting those early is insanely powerful. If any race manages to roll Heavy Emitters I ALWAYS create a planet frying cruiser. In fact a well shielded ship with Heavy/Normal/Light Emitters rocks the Fission/Fusion era.

O.o

Maybe it's good that I didn't stay home.

FFS they delayed the release. PPL think they're actually still working on the game or installer or whatever.

Here i was, expecting this to release early morning like Dungeon Defenders did. (which also said it would release late in the evening german time)

You have a source saying they delayed it? I've seen Steam fuck up the countdown before with no reason given other than "haha you can't do anything about it".

I don't have an official source, but the talk on forums is, kerberos wanted to i.e. remove independant colonies and change/improve balance.

Everyone on other forums are saying it's downloading fine.

If you're using steam you probably need to exit and restart; this is normal for steam releases.
