Post Fancy game you've got here, folks.
Couldnt find the supposed greetings-thread mentioned for entrance-purposes here, but I gather I got more to say than a mere simple "hello" anyway, so anyway...

Found some interesting pictures and positive critique of this here game of yours a few hours ago, and went and downloaded the latest test version to try it out myself. Now, several hours later, having done little else than finding ways to survive in for the AI humiliating ways, I can happily say I've enjoyed myself quite a lot. Well, as much as my nihilistic ego will allow anyway, but thats another story.

Always been intrigued by options given when I can shape a games structure while I'm playing, so merely noticing the mod-section is enough to make me grin with oppurtunities for even more chaos ahead. Oh, and the creative ways to dispose of those pesky intruders... Ahh, have to say the jet-pack kamikaze flight straight into an engine flipping a carrier over its own deployed troops was the most silly one yet, but I bet I'll do something even more stupidly successfully within no-time.

I must say I wonder about the difficulty-levels though, seeing how I don't really have much trouble staying alive even on the fourth level, and can even have living sentinels with flak posted on the surface to pick off carriers as they come and go. Should it be more difficult, or are there any way to unlock truly suicidal gameplay? Was a bit disappointed that the AI didnt use digging equipment and mostly ot stuck when hitting ship carcasses, since it once turned out to be what saved my brain more than counter-active measures taken in the end.

Oh, and any suggestions for mods I should try out this early on to improve the variation in basic armament and variated opposition? I still don't want anything upsetting the original game balance this far.

Oh, and hi. Did I say hi? Well, I said it now, anyway.

Well, I got some defensive plans I need to try out, so I've gotta get back to being a disembodied brain again. No time tolouse. Until I've worked out some strategies and gotten some proper sleep- Cheerio, folks. I gather I shan't be gone too long.

Build nineteen will have path finding and insane AI. We all await it. See: Dev log. Also give Dmod a whirl, it's pretty neat.

Hi! The social nexus, so to speak, is the IRC.

inc.synirc.net
#drlchat

Sadly, most of the forum-goers aren't very intelligent and I strongly suggest avoiding them.

Wow just wow I have never seen such good grammar you make us all look like apes. :-?

I think there is a mod somewhere that makes the game spawn tougher enemies.

CRobo mod because it's classic and the Zombies mod in Mod Making because it rocks.

Also, you can get Chatzilla for IRC if you don't want mIRC.

Hi.

Holy ♥♥♥♥ cockbombs a newb I don't want to flame.

I'M SO CONFUSED.

Welcome to the forums. IRC. Now.

Or you lose any semblance of a hope of garnering my respect.

You know, when I first came here, I used good grammar, too. I guess back then everyone just took it all for granted. :(

P.S. Wii now lets me use my USB keyboard. Hooray.

I think higher difficulty levels just have faster spawn times for the enemy. I think this variable is changable in the activities.ini

Welcome to the forums.

If you want more of a challenge, download the CRobos and change Activities.ini (If you know how) so the enemy use those, clones vrs CRobo is about as hard as it sounds.

Welcome dude! I myself enjoy modding the game more than playing it because its so ridiculously easy and fun too. You can make almost anything out of the code and sprites as long as youre creative enough.

Oooh, quite an active place you've got here too, seemingly. I'll try to make sure to pop by the IRC too, though I usually leave most of my nonsensical blathering within my posts just as easily as in chat, but if thats the more active way for communication here...

I'll check some of the mods mentioned, see if I can avoid to shake the original gameplay around too much, and get back whenever I get any contact with reality again at all. Or whenever I bother. I'm lazy as a sloth; though a very enthusiastic sloth, I have to say.

Yeah, I think you'll find a pretty warm welcome until something adverse occurs, but until then, have a great time.

Finally, someone with skill in grammar and vocabulary. Wonderful.

Well, not everyone is like that.

Also welcome. Join the IRC as soon as you can, just don't screw it up. Same for these forums.
