Does anyone use the troopship? I thought it might be useful but it seems a waste. Say the planet has 38 population, 4 Troop at BR4. First you invade the...
... About the only time I use it is late in a econ rich game or if my emp is rolling up a beaten opponent late in the game. I can't remember the last time I...
Does the "troop-trick" work on Iceberg (always, never, or depends on the order your ships act in)? As for the ships themselves, they are more likely to be...
Let's see how troopships work (Lug FAQ): Troopship: This ship transports a group of commandos equal to [10*(current BR)]. Once this ship invades a hostile...
-When I've done a legit invasion of a system and my commandos were 4x the number of colonists it has been successful, if memory serves. Sound about right? --...
... "When I've..." Doesn't sound like you don't use it much either. It seems that the intent of the ship was to allow attacks that saved the resources of an...
Can anyone offer up a link or explanation as to what exactly the Shared HQ option does at Iceberg? I know Ah had a page with some changes somewhere, but can't...
Shared HQ, you can see what your ally can see on the map, so if he explores a system you can see it as well and move there. You can gate to his systems at...
Parmenion (aka Damascus) has started the game. After playing a really big Tug-O-War (340 - soon over) against him, I prefer to play with Parmenion in a team. ...
What is the reasoning behind the "Team Surrender" in Team Games at Iceberg? You can't surrender individualy. In Team games it is my understanding that if only...
I'm just playing in my first team game now, so I'm hardly an authority. One possibility is that the coders wanted there to be the option of surrendering in a...

Squirrel asks "Is alliance with people on the other teams impossible?" The short answer is yes. If one team chooses to let players on the other team off the...
I created the team games option to provide a way for teams fo players to compete with each other on a guaranteed fair map. The twisted map assures that each...
Lurking Ah and Aleks/Alexia The maps and systems screens "die" when the map is too big (in big maps games). I just noticed that the systems screen always...
The solution on Iceberg is to use the Mini-Map feature. Then click on the planet at the center of the area you are interested in. Then you get a localized...
Team games do not allow the winning team players to be credited with a "nuke" when the opposing losing team surrenders. I propose to establish an honor system...
I would not mind if fractional nuke points are used. :-) A general problem with 'surrender' in Lug (and maybe a reason for the team surrender in Ice) is that...
A few comments: True that in a team surrender you don't get the nuke points. But also, you're nuked allies collect a win for being part of the winning team. ...
OK Realy the main problem with the Team Games I have, is tha the game will end when only the players from the same team remain and are at Truce or Trade. Well...
Bicentennialman - Have you never been given a draw or ally out in a game you would have been otherwised nuked in? If so, then don't worry about the lost team...
... Yea when I was first starting out and when I have had bad maps. I have also given out draws and allies to others as well. I play for fun, then wins, then...
Someone recently asked, "Is there a way to determine which way to send your scis?" The short answer is yes, but it's certainly not foolproof. (And this only...
I remember some related discussions a while back. I recall them began with observations about the Walls of Jericho series. I think there is actually a way to...
I remember long ago playing TCBOO at Big Orange. Clockwork Orange calculated the center of the map by averaging the homeworlds of all the players. I thought...
Wow!! Amazing memory! What I remember about that game was the enormity of it and that it would have taken over two years to complete and months to reach the...
Ok. Here's the info. At Lug, the 1st player's HW will be at a randomly chosen system within a "Box", but the coordinates are determined by (planets per ...
Thanks for the clarification. I thought about trying to figure the "times # of players" or total system rather than systems per player, but couldn't remember. ...
