oh yes
You just gave me a reason to purchase rebellion
I was surprised by Rebellion ... I really like it ... it has some nice touches
you are amazing man :)
Definitely busy ...
hmmmmm who should i contact about bugs, for some reason im not spawniig dreadnaughts yet the ai has 3 already....
Just put it in the main discussion area ... so other people know about it.
By the way, dreadnoughts need one fleet supply point to spawn, if you don't have this at the time (as it is normally on automatic) then the clock and antimatter is reset ... and you have to wait again (until cooldown has expired and antimatter is recharged). Unfortunately I can't do anything about this.
any idea when the next update is going to come out for this, I love this mod
I've uploaded R2 which includes the Norlamins. I will release it in a day or so.
With the additional content in Rebellion each race takes quite a lot of work to get right. So at this stage I would say it takes about one month per race.
