Hi,

Just curious,

Why is it that you can mine stuff thats useless?

e.g. Mining Parasite.

Whats the point, you can't build anything with it and it doesn't allow you to research anything...

Thanx,

I'll take a stab at this...

Yes, some minerals are red herrings in that they are not used in any tech recipes. However this only applies for the territory that you're in. In fact each territory has a different tech tree and minerals required for each tech, although the highest tech achievable in any territory is of course limited by the epoch.

With that in mind, personnel assignment is crucial. Mine them all at the start but if a mineral is not used in any recipe then one should assign less men to it. Reassign as soon as the mineral becomes useful if at all. It is not uncommon to have to restart an island due to inferior tech and minerals (ESC button LOL)

Yeah thats pretty much what I thought...

Thanx for confirming it for me.

I've noticed that even on the same island certain techs might require different resources...

eg. if you take over an adjacent section on the island you might require different resources to build a Pike than you would in your starting section.

Its pretty weird but still quite cool, keeps things different...

I was kinda hoping that you could modify your designs, like in one sector using stone for the tips of your arrows and in another using bone or something...

Now that would have bean REALLY cool...

Hhhmmm, maybe I should do a rewrite of this game in .NET...

This game is absolutly quality, used to play it for days at a time.

TIP: if your having trouble with a particular map, try restarting a picking a different map placement because, as said above, some map tiles have far more technologies available then others. (On the harder maps, these are usually the ones taken by the computer before you can pick them).

No. Read the page that the NO-GO button links to.
We have no deathwish - and we'd have to if we even considered risking to get on ESA's bad side ever again.
