Dude,

If you're going to ask for help, don't kill someone for not giving you the exact thing you want in the first post. If you want strategies and how to build, there are a million and one and it depends on who you ask. If all you want is Lev's advice, then PM him and stop flamming the rest of us.

All the help you'll get from me at this point is a link to the tech trees ( http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=3491 ). You can decide what techs you want to research first given your specific goals. (Do you want weapons or buildings?)

And as a point, instead of asking an open ended question like "I need help" then killing someone for giving you the same open ended level of advice, you might want to include some details. Do you need help with multi player? Do you need help with a colony game? Or the full campaign? Do you need to know how to just get started? Do you want the fast track to weapons, mining, space?

One finger pointed at another person means you have three of them pointed at yourself.

I just tried to help....

xxxxxs · « **Reply #5 on:** March 18, 2007, 10:30:00 AM »

you helped....a little
sorry for being...overreacted....
but i need to get better...
stronger....bigger.....
so...just posting here helped me out...
but i want specific information...
got it?
sorry! :unsure:

Mez · « **Reply #6 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:17:43 AM »

You want specific information.

Then give us the information to help you.

You want to get better is this in.

a) general
B) specific type of game?

c) are you wanting to get better at multiplayer or single?

If multiplayer, get on irc, and play as many games as you can.

About leviathan. He is not the best. he is hardly on anymore (he may idle on irc, but he doesn't play or even talk!), besides he can only teach you how to rush on Pie!
If you really want to learn how to play. Play against Highlander on a landrush game.

Other good player are:

sublime
zanco
modman
wiziki (cant remeber how to spell it)

and a few more i cant rememeber right now

ahh i don't need help anymore...
playng multiplayer maked me remember the days i was good...
thanks a lot anywavs! (thumbsup) (thumbsup)

Tellaris · « **Reply #8 on:** March 18, 2007, 01:53:40 PM »

What, I'm omited from your list, Mez? Come on! I can whipe the floor with all of those people, rush game or not! (Though modman is at least somewhat challengeing)
Yea, its generally rush out adv lab, get EMP/RPG, and mass produceing those along with Microwaves, and at some point grabbing ESG and Tigers along the way. Best bet is to play Plymouth. Eden is exceptionally hard, especially against good players (Laser takes forever to get upgraded, plus no sticky)

Mez · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2007, 03:37:54 PM »

I'm sorry Baikon.

I wrote that, then got stuck. I just looked at who was on IRC at the time

We probably need to bring back the gamers list to make a nice list of who is active (or not) & their skill levels etc.

I might learn some PHP and code a new one, (not promising anything!)

Highlander · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2007, 07:58:28 PM »

If you want to be lethal in this game remember, Speed Kills.

I'd advice you to ask Paco to show you a thing or 10, but I'm not sure how much he is online.

Otherwise try getting Tellaris aka Baikon to show you how to play.

Once you master Multiplayer, Single Player becomes alot easier.

Leviathan · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2007, 05:38:33 AM »

Multilayer is much more fun than single player I think.

xxxxxs · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2007, 01:54:30 PM »

how about that fox chick?

is she good?

can she detonate people?

can i play with her?

i wanna know! (thumbsup)

Tellaris · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:52:14 PM »

Fox is a guy... And yes, you can. But he doesn't seem to play that often anymore. I think hes gotten a little pissed at me for repeatedly blasting him to bits...

Highlander · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2007, 08:23:43 PM »

Baikon:

1) How do you really know Fox is a guy ?

2) Maybe Fox has, like many action heroes retreated into a period of tough training so that he eventually will kick the living s*** out of his evil foe ? (That would be you btw)

:ph34r:

White Claw · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2007, 12:24:30 AM »

I still find it humourous that someone wants to play another person because its "that chick". (Is it just me?)

Hooman · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2007, 01:38:38 AM »

Yeah, sounds a bit creepy to me.

Just play however you can. The more you practice the better you'll likely get. Plus it helps to keep an open mind about why you lose when you do, or if you're in a difficult situation, then why is it difficult and what can you do to get out of it, or avoid getting into it again.

I find rush games to be probably the most useful to train on, since they provide the most stimulus for you to react to. Like if they get weapons before you, then you need to work on your research order to get weapons quicker. If you don't have the money to build stuff when you want to (or when you can), then you probably need to work on getting more ore. Try researching Metallogeny at the start, and get more smelters and trucks going. If it's a longer game, then consider researching the GORF and then Smelter Postprocessing. (I don't really recommend researching GORF early on in a morale game, since you need to supply 2 workers to keep it running or else it hurts morale, and it has almost no real use). If you can't produce due to lack of people, and morale is on, then pay attention to morale. That's actually very important to pay attention to in a game of just about any length, especially the long ones. But people often play with morale off. You might consider medical centers for games with high build marks to get a higher population than your opponent for when the fighting starts, but it will likely set you behind in research, so it might not prove very beneficial.

Mez · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2007, 08:31:02 AM »

On all games, i get metallology, GORF (+ upgrade) research done in std lab, before the adv lab comes online.

This allows me to to smelter processing in the adv lab after the advanced armor research, it depends on my foe, and the amount of ore I have as to when I do it

Ro@m · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2007, 05:30:14 AM »

It is good to have much Tokamaks,because they tend to blow up somtime,and have at least 2 labs for faster research....

Admiral S3 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2007, 08:40:42 AM »

Went browsing through some old backups when I saw this and found something you may find useful.

The following assumes certain things are true, such as you have a CC, Struct factory, mine, standard lab, agrodome, ect. It also assume you can create basic vecs, or at least know how to get to that point with out assistance. It also assume morale is steady.

Admiral's Guide to Outpost 2:

1. Research hypnopedia early on. This allows for more sci's sooner.
2. Build your basics, in this order, extra smelter, Advanced lab, tokamac, agrodome, vec factory, extra smelter 2 (for a total of 3 smelters)
3. Research the following in order. Metallogeny, Large scale Optical resonators (or Microwave projection for plymouth) Mobile weapons platform, rare ore processing, Independant turret power systems, advanced vehicle power plant, advanced combat chassis, scout class drive train refit, Additional weapons systems as needed/wanted.

There ye go, now you should be able to at least get a few laser or Microwave lynx out before ya die.

Wow, this topic sure has wandered. What the heck were we talking about?

CK9 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 23, 2007, 10:17:02 AM »

I think we were discussing pancakes...

#1 thing to remember when playing a big map:
quality over quantity.

you can defeat a large army of basic weapons on lynx chasis with just a handful of more advanced weapons on panthers

Highlander · « **Reply #22 on:** March 23, 2007, 06:26:33 PM »

I think your guide is a bit outdated Admiral S3.

I'm sure someone has posted abuild strat somewhere before though. Fox seems to be referring to "Lev's" build strat sometimes, so I guess Leviathan has one up. (Lev's should be close to perfect I guess, since you can't go much faster than him..)

White Claw · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2007, 07:33:52 PM »

I still think it depends on what strategy you're going for. I guess I still like campaign play.
