hard to cheat in a multiplayer game of Ho!--without getting caught,
that is. The computer will notify your opponents if you change any of
your stats or such with MacsBug or ResEdit. But you can do those
things against the computer without penalty". | Various Tips | Updated 23 Jul | Speed may be the most important technology you can improve on. It may
even be more important than Weapons. Speed allows you to move through
the galaxy faster as well as dictate who fires first in a battle.
You should invest in Radical research. At times what you receive is
almost worthless, but in most cases it will be an asset. Remember,
Radical Tech is a temporary advantage. As stated in the manual, ÒIf
your Weapon and Shield Tech levels are 5 and 5, and your Radical Tech
causes your Shields to go to 7, your Weapon Tech will reach 8 at the
same time that Shield Tech does.Ó So use it if you got it.
An alien offering an alliance does not always mean a long and happy
relationship. He may use this alliance to bum money and metal, spy on
you, and then leave offensive forces at your planets. Once he feels he
has gained an advantage, he may break the alliance. This may not
always be the case, but you should be on your guard.
A Scout Ship may serve a purpose at the beginning of a game when range
is at a minimum, but soon it looses its value. Use Fighters to scout
planets.
Getting out of the gate as soon as possible allows you time to
colonise and develop planets. So sending out a colony ship should be
one of your first goals.
Fight the battle in the enemies back yard not yours. This is very
important! Move your forces into enemy territory and set up camp there
this will occupy his time allowing your home bases to develop.
Remember, don't get lost in the fun of hoarding metal that when the
enemy comes you have no defences. It doesn't matter if you have one
ton or 400,000 tons of metal if it's just setting there it is of
little direct help. As the saying goes, Use it or loose it.
Your goal should be to trick the enemy into sending a huge Armada of
ships against such a well-defended planet of yours that he is wiped
out. Not only will this weaken the enemy, but you will collect scrap
metal in the bargain. Now the question is how to do this? First
remember when the enemy has scouted one of your planets, when he
return depends on what he ran up against. If he ran up against a far
more superior force it may be sometime before he returns, because he
will be waiting for his tech to improve. If he ran against a force of
near equal strength he may be back sooner, because all he may do is
try to increase his number of ships. Then attack again. If your forces
are much weaker than his expect a very quick return, because all he
may need to do is regroup for a second assault. Knowing this will let
you know when to build massive number of satellites. | Message Easter Eggs | Updated 23 Jul | There are a few Easter Egg sounds that come up when you type special codes into the Chat Window during multi-player games:
