Alpha Centauri - Morgan Industries - Episode 9

[@Tetrahelix]

Actually, Quill18 was quoting a Stephen Hawking lecture, where he does say, "Thus it seems Einstein was doubly wrong when he said, God does not play dice. Not only does God definitely play dice, but He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen. "

I tried to win one game like a Bond villain with a simultaneous sub-launched grade 4 nuclear annihilation of all enemy cities (around a dozen missiles)... but I miscalculated the blast zones and missed one little base, and the planet response was SO HARSH I can't even remember if I survived long enough to build one more planet-buster and finish the job.

[@Urza26]

I know you asked him, but I've been playing this game for a long time on mostly transcend with every faction. Choppers with high attacks... meet offense with pre-emptive strikes on slow moving ground units. AAA infantry guard with perimeter defense against air. Or maybe locusts or native units if your planet is high. Against probe happy opponents, fundamentalist is a must. Lots of other strategies too... arti, probes... etc...

[@Urza26]

Unless I'm mistaken, you can just vote for "abolish UN atrocity" thing at the council. If successful, planet will not be angry for atrocities, even at transcend level.

Because yoiu keep mentioning them, I just have to say that my favorite thing is when the game suggests Clean Planetbusters. You can't normally make them because 'Clean' is incompatible with the Missile or Planetbuster chassis, but if the game suggests them you can improve them all the way up to Singularity level. Also, University forever! (Added) There is a tech you clicked through at 17:28, Probability Mechanics, with the flavor audio "Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded." My favorite though was always Nanomatter Editation: "'Abort, Retry, Fail?' was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we'd remind them: if you see this message, always choose 'Retry.' "

Quill, planet busters piss off the planet to no end, so if you end us using them you might end up sealing your own coffin....necroscope used them as a last resort in his playthrough, and boy oh boy was the resulting invasion something scary....

[@Chiqidico]

I actually like the UI. The license to remake this game would cost millions.

[@michaelfenn87]

Beeline to the energy satellite and have Morgan Interstellar pump those out like no tomorrow.

[@JhoferGamer]

he has already done it

[@Zorro9129]

The University is notoriously weak against probes.

[@Mankorra_Gomorrah]

So quil (I.E. Morgan) made friends with the voice inside his head lol

[@TheGamingBadger2]

I heard rumors that Firaxis wanted to remake it but there was some weird dispute over the copyright or something

[@phonox]

There are defensive satellites.

[@Vosoros]

It seems Quill if fond of probing. Anyone else concerned? :P

[@hokieneer17]

I need to work on my diplomacy in this game. I just started playing, and with Morgan. Every exchange goes like this. FactionX: Your evil profiteering is (unjust/dmg the planet/selfish/etc), hand over tech. ME: Well we can trade techs or money FactionX: No I will not help you in controlling all the wealth. Hand it over. ME: No FactionX: Vendetta on YOU! ME: Go sit on a pine cone you fucking ass hat And then they invade. I just got to choppers, and I've been invaded 4 times already.

[@Vosoros]

You need a skunkworks somewhere for FREE prototypes. ;)

[@PieMoe]

You still got the first comment, you just stopped people from shouting out "FIRST".

[@amshermansen]

So Quill - how do YOU handle enemy attacks in the mid/late game? With weapons like the Shard (13) and such, you can't really fight 1 on 1 with your 4/5 defense - even with the Perimeter defense you are at a slight disadvantage.

[@Partyffs]

Lord Quillington. Do you have an estimation on when you will start HOI3 ? (;,;)

[@lavixl]

I wish you could explain the buildings more and tech choices rather than clicking though them so fast. I pause your videos and read them for myself but can't always catch it in time. Good stuff though.

[@Chiqidico]

how do u defend against missiles? Is there some type of flak or anti missile unit?

[@thisisjosh]

maybe you should play anno 2070

[@Whatsit100]

Stopping people getting the first comment

[@videoguy640]

[@petriksaksamaa]
