does the homeworld map maker work with this mod? i was lookin at stuff from this mod and i thougth i seen a map maker for complex but i cant find it and now im not sure
I love the complex mod, but you guys should make the artillery frigates more like artillery, ie. like the pirates mod.
Amazing work on this mod, I've really enjoyed it... can't believe I dusted off a 10 year-old game and it's so good it's keeping me from Shogun 2 :).
Much thanks to the Complex team, solid work fellas!
Got problem with ion canon on ati card, screen goes white and blinks...
Black screen after minimizing...
Can somebody tell me the differnece or the new features of the new version?
I ve tried to find them in the complex forum but havent found them.
It would be generally good when the changes of a mod would be listet here on this side.
Thx, i used the Moddb version and got it runing in 1080p.
Though i like the mod and all the new units that come with it, the AI wins every time i play the game. I have just finished a 3,5h game with me (Hig) and one normal ai(Hig) against one easy Vagyr AI (complex standard). I thought it would be easy, since the ai on my team would compensate for my lack of experience with this mod. But the game ended in defeat.
The Vagyr AI produced far more heavy ships than my teammate and it had battle cruisers long before i could build them. I ended up building just one battle cruiser and my teammate had no bc at all. Strangely my battle cruiser disappeared inside my allies space dock and was never seen again. But i still had the oficers and crew missing that were onboard the ship.
Me and the standard hig ai were crushed by an easy vagyr ai. Next game i will try 3vs1. I tried to build the same things my teammate ai build and i was pretty successful with doing so. But in the battlereport at the end of the game the easy vagyr ai had just as many res as me and my teammate together.
I managed to win 3 vs 1 and just a couple of minutes ago i won a 2 vs 1 in 1,5h with a hard ai on my team and an easy one as the enemy. Iam pretty sure that i would have lost 1 vs 1, because those attack frigates are hard to take down as long as they are supported by missle corvettes. The Higs just dont have such an awesome ship in the early game. The attack frigate is anti frigate/anti corvette, which is the best thing to have in the early game.
Their role makes them the perfect frigates for all kinds of situations. The Hig Flakfrigates have to protect the fighters, corvettes and bombers that are meant to take down the attack frigets but therefore they have to be close. In this situation, the attack frigates deliver more damage to my frigates, than i can with my corvetes and fighters. The result is that my frigates are taken down very fast and my remaining covettes and fighters are being shot to pieces afterwards.
One strategy I used all the time in the old version that let me beat even the expert AI was to get an incredibly early light carrier, send it directly to their resources while building corvettes. Upgrade it's engines if you want to go faster, get rapid sweeper and just harass their resources while constantly docking the corvettes and repairing them in the light carrier.
While doing this research destroyers with torpedoes and then just hyperspace them in and destroy their flagship.
This strat worked great in 7.4.4 but it might be a little trickier in the new version because of the power station draining cash. You might have to take it a lot easier with the upgrades. Oh and a very good trick to save some money is to wait a long time to build the crew station, don't build it until you start losing pilots or can gain a rank.
love this mod
