so, i ask thee, oh great defender of Troll logic:
Why should someone propose something to be declared legal if he doesnt perceive it as illegal before ?

yeah. i havent found any built-in function in the function reference that deals with ruins. neither any trigger.
my goal is to fire additional triggers in my SLIC file on ruins being entered in some way.

For instance the CONST.TXT file cannot be saved or altered in a scenario you need to default one but you simply bypass by removing the default with your altered and vice versa to avoid conflicts..

yes, you can do a lot of bad things with that. practically anything that is given in one of those text files and only there can be changed for you personally.
i didnt know it worked in MP too though.

i used to assume this wasnt possible, with the SLIC code somehow included in the save game file. but now im not so sure anymore.
1.) my game with blackgryffin, that was started without any altered SLIC files, used to work normally even if i played it with my own, modified, SLIC file (which simply had no effect). but then, from turn 78 on, his CTP refused to open those turns that previously worked flawlessly.
i assume some of the AIs initiated some event (maybe a finished wonder ?) around that time that made the game need a clean script.slc, which according to the way how SLICs always are explained shouldnt be necessary at all.
2.) i also heard that some people, many ages ago, have discovered a way to manipulate a running game with other means than modified text files. im not sure anymore if it is possible with SLIC files too.

Ok so some have seen the marine, fighter, jet tactic, so what is the defence? |
The same thing of course, face it the tank in this mix is too costly, too much to maintain (double the fighter) same for ships. So if your at this point in the game consider just the marines and the aero to space planes. The lower maintence cost's allow you to build generally 2-1 if the opponent choose's tanks. If not you should be able to hold your own. Face it most players do the rabbit and have very little room for your entire civilization at this point in the game. So it becomes usually a space race or nuke war. That takes us back to the space plane, nuke, marine, fighter combo. Leathal and very effective in pin pointing key cities to bring a civ. to it's knees.
Nice odds for defence and offence, especially considering the weak defence tanks have to offer.
It's an awesom combination which lasts a long time in the game. Remember to cash in old troops and planes for better units. Generally a cash in of old units nets a 1-2 odds. Meaning the unit you trade for is usually twice as good. Cashing in for space marines is a little different. Consider using the old unit cash ins for city improvements and or wonders. By now the space plane, space fighter will rule for some time to come.
Next up one way to counter the opponents having London's...
Sure be nice to hear some rookies express here what they have learned . Same with the experienced, Dimytes for one you have 12 years online experience surely you have something to offer the newies, let alone the hardcores 
Lets do it people let's get this thread back up and running
