Re: Deadlock 2: fusion tank accidentally detonates?

I sent later waves of units that hit mines, so I'd point to those as the cause. I just don't recall hitting mines while retreating - that was odd. So that must be what happened: I sent 2 fusion cannons to attack, and neither of them hit mines on the way in. The first one that retreated hit mines on ...

Deadlock 2: fusion tank accidentally detonates?

I'm plaing the ChtCht campaign of Deadlock II, and I've reached the level where the Tarth start out with a shrine. You have 30 turns to retake it or they win. So I got next to that square, and sent 2 fusion cannon in, with orders to retreat at 25% damage. I just wanted to do some damage, repair and ...

Re: Which race is your favourite?

Since I didn't like their economy and military, I didn't give the Chch't much of a chance. I'll have to give them another try. Despite my name, I think Uva Mosk are my favorite to play. Their bonus resources and ability to make bonus squares is really useful, especially when I play a game where I li...

Replaying the Deadlock 2 Campaign

I'm on the 2nd mission of the Deadlock 2 campaign, playing as Uva Mosk. The other races are way too friendly. I expanded in one direction, and the Cyth expanded right next to my new colony. The Ch'cht moved in right next to them. Hm, okay I can expand into the mountains south of me... and the Relu s...

Re: 22 years of Deadlock

It's alive, although about as healthy as the Maug right now. :D

More amazingly, it still runs 22 years later. Back in 1995, the average PC had a 0.5G hard disk and 0.004G of memory.

Re: Questions about Deadlock

Reading the past few posts, my experience with DL1 is different from yours - are you using Deadlock 1.31 like I am? Whenever I've killed off the last enemy unit while taking over the last enemy territory, the game has ended for me. I vaguely recall sending units all over a map to find an enemy unit ...

Re: The Decoding News

Thanks for grabbing militia and laser squad data, though I hope it wasn't much trouble. Looks like 2 militia (2/2) vs laser squad (2/5) could go either way, with laser squad probably having a greater accuracy. Two odd things about http://opendeadlock.sourceforge.net/kg/login/ link... 1. When I click...

Your Deadlock Strategy?

Without research I'd be lost. Early on I try to replace defensive laser turrets with energy defenses to ward off attacks. Later I try to use fusion or disruptor canon to attack enemies. If I waited for all enemies to reach all techs, I wonder if I'd still do as well? For a challenge, I like to limit...

Re: [OpenDeadlock Crowdsourcing Request] - Alpha 1 Buildings

Could you walk through an example of helping on the wiki? Meaning, here's specific text for "farm", and here's the specific URL you follow to contribute that text for the "farm". As of right now I'm not sure where to contribute, nor what the general format of the text should be. ...
