Quick question for clarification. Mining tech states that it increases the ore mined per turn for Homeworlds and other units. What would qualify as "other units?"

Two more questions:

1. Can you build a ship that is completely void of a certain type of tech upgrade, such a scout Frigate with no weapons, so that it would only cost the base 10/10 + 3/3 for the others components, rather than + 4/4?

2. You stated that you want our ships to be named after their ...

Thank you again for running this IcePack. I'm sure it takes up a considerable amount of your time.

My apologies if these questions have been already answered somewhere, but I could not find answers/clarifications for them.

1. When buying research/tech upgrades, do the changes take effect ...

Initiative might help some of the fairness questions, but does it answer all of DJENRE's concerns? From the way I read it, the larger issue he seemed to have was the fact that IcePack having to choose where they ended up after their intended path was blocked was not where they would have chosen to ...

Wait... We suspect Keefie the least? Right...

Looks like another fun game Icepack

Why is it not a rule? Probably because it is too hard to police and very situational. The mods already get enough spurious reports that they have to spend time looking into before they can make a ruling judgement on the case. I doubt they would even want to have another that would clearly spark a ...

Hey IcePack. Great work on this. Looks like a lot of attention and time went into it already.

The history buff in me is coming out a bit for some suggestions on some of the gameplay. The major one that stands out to me is sieging a castle historically was supposed to be hard. There's a reason that ...

I should start off by saying that I am not really a fan of either candidate.

However, I feel it's clear Clinton won. In terms of debating, Trump seemed to be quite lost in an environment where the moderator actually tried to keep him in check and his opponent didn't take the bait. Instead, he ...

If this ever gets expanded to 24 hour games and doesn't have an option to refuse a resignation, it's probably the last day I volunteer / play on this site. If it's ever going to be considered for full use, it needs the ability for somebody to refuse the resignation. (Not resignation free games, it ...

An opinion is a thought that does not have to be based in fact. It can be formed from context and one's own knowledge. One can state an opinion without backing it up with fact. If you wish to debate the logic behind an opinion, you are free to do so, but you instead decided to attack me for ...

So I'm really confused. Did you just try to cherry-pick my post to find some minute detail to tear into me? Then you somehow decided to give me a verbal lashing for stating my opinion as an opinion in a thread that people have been debating their opinions? As both you and Donelladan have both ...

It's been said that it was deliberately left out of the coding but why? Why not change the coding so that once a successful attack is made, you will get a spoil at the end of your turn even if you are timed out? Also, sometimes things happen in Real Life and you unavoidably can't complete your ...

IcePack,
Yea I agree with you. Wording means a lot. I guess I just allowed myself to believe there was a general assumption of what 2 round notice means since that's all that most players will say and agree to. Wording can be quite vague and mean a lot of different things.

I also agree that I've ...

This was your normal, average, any day game against random opponents. I know that tournaments have their own player etiquette and I know that in this particular case the tournament etiquette differs from your normal game etiquette. In tournaments, any form of diplomacy is looked down upon and ...

Hello all. I've been around a while though generally a relatively quiet member of the community. I know there's always on-going debate about both the written and unwritten rules (owenshooter, looking at you as I'm sure you will show up) so I have a question on general etiquette, one of the unwritten ...

Main reason I asked was it was unclear and thrown out in previous rounds. I do believe it was intended for the whole tournament, but it eventually go thrown out due to an uneven comparison between players since not everyone played each other in previous rounds. The same seemed true here. Some games ...

Just a question. Is it head to head games throughout the tournament like its listed? Or is it just head to head for this round? Been a little confused by this tiebreaker throughout the tournament

[Q&A]

I use the built in snapshot feature in the game to automatically take a snap every time I take my turn, and it's a feature that is a huge help in games, especially long games. However, recently I have been going to look at some snaps in games and I will realize that sometimes rounds are ...

If that truly is the case I believe that I'm in one of those 4 spots for the next round. Think I had something like 10 or 11 wins going second after I got the first move in only 7 games
