1st time the game its to hard, now it to easy? how do i make the game hard again.

[woody60706]

why is it that when i 1st play the game it was kicking my ass, like i had to use a money trianner for mission 04 and 12 after i replayed the damn mission like 7 times over.(not counting all the in mid-game restarts)

(note that unlimited RU did not effact the Dynamic difficulty due to the fact i only turned it on after i started the mission and after i turn it off the money gose back to nomal)

well so after i beat the game i started again this time useing no cheats. and after i heard about the Dynamic difficulty i almost never made figs(just a few in mission 03 and TF's in that mover mission) and i found the game ungodly e-z

so here i am playing the 3rd time hoping to find the hard game i played the 1st time, but it isn't there. like i just beat mission 4 but i never found those 14 hvy missile fig that hit my MS half way thu like they did the 1st time. and teh force at the end of teh mission was a let done, and i maxed out everthing i could before jumping in.

so anyone know any ways to fool the game in to making the mission hard again, i really don;t understand what units makes the Dynamic difficulty go crazy and what unist don't

The bigger your fleet is, the bigger the enemy fleet is.

Get the biggest fleet of scouts you can and try to beat it like that.

That explains why mission 12 was so damn hard - I mean 12 destroyers and 5 Battlecruisers - you gotta be kidding me - but after about 8 goes I finally beat em.

Jump to the next mission with a big fleet, then scuttle/retire them all.

If you want a REALLY hard time you can edit your fleet size files...then your enemy will be insanely hard and will kick your butt. Or so I've heard - I haven't tweaked with my files.

another cause may simply be because you know exactly whats coming next in each mission, as you've played each one before and know what to expect and when...

... therefore, the best way to make it hard again would be to beat your head up on a large rock (it worked for me!)

[woody60706]

how do you edit the file to make the game super hard

[Timeless]

Just get online and play. That is all the "hard" you will ever need.

If not building frigs makes it too easy...then uh...BUILD FRIGS!

oh is that right timeless :-) well any time you wanna do a 1v1 i'll be here, and it won't be as e-z as your 2v1 1/2 we had the other night. and i say 1v1 becuz i have no team mates :-(

For fun, I gave myself 12 BCs in mission 12.

Lo and behold, the enemy fleet consisted not of 18+ BCs and 50+ destroyers...

but about 12 destroyers, 1 BC, and 600,000 lance fighters.

Needless to say I built myself some flak frigates and played 'fish in a barrel'.

LOL, bud. I hit your ally hard in the beginning, stripping all of his modules--ALL OF THEM--and killed all the strike craft he had out for defense, along with a few workers before you showed up to assist. My ally then finished him off while I dealt with you. That is not a 2on1, friend, but coordinated team play. I think you played well, however, especially with that emp.

My specialty is 1on1, but it's such a damn blast to play team games that I haven't bothered with it much lately. I'll look for you, though, and see what we can put together.
