Laserwolf Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 yeah i started research thermic lance cuz i thought it was a ships weapon... then i realize... oops. its not. oh well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thermic Lance is only a 3 turn research, go ahead and finish it. Your troops will thank you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKitsune Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 really? the anz i have for [thermic lance] didn't make it seem too great... but if u think so... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All ground tech stacks. The thermic lance may be a lousy thermal/plasma weapon, but it is still a weapon. The more weapons your troopers have the better they fight. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athonian Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 O. another good thing to note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 That Thermic lance isnt so lousy as it opend up Heavy Thermic lance which still isnt so lousy. especially if your enemy doenst have any of his own and like everyone has said ground unit weapon bonuses stack and generally speaking a race with the most bonuses has the advantage assuming all other things equal.

Krelnett_of_Kraan Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 And yet... All other things are never, EVER equal, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 The jury is still out on that one. We havent been in enough action to make a definitive determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athonian Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 the ground war will be interesting.... although i think the space wars will take presidence... i wont restart the thermic lance until i need ground forces... my goal is to do some species improvements and research better colonization buildings first. with that done i should theoretically be able to colonize all 9 planets in my home system with little to no losses. hmm and then i'll have to go down industrial sciences... hm and then i'll work on ship guns and armor... and then once my mighty billion ton fleet is completed and guarding my homesystem will i consider thermic lance.... BWAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Good plan unless someone who decides to take advantage of your choices decides to invade. if they wait till your all done with your Industry and Lifeform research they probably wont do so good but.... if they find you before that and are hostile then your plans would have to change just a tad.
