XPiratez / Re: Most fun difficulty?

« on: August 08, 2024, 02:11:21 pm »

I played one JS/ironman campaign for two full in-game years (10 days IRL), carefully calculating every turn so no uber dies (peasants/dogs are disposable).
Then accidentally third or fourth major faction base assault was StarGods and that's it. Campaign is lost with no regrets.
It was prior to missiles introduction.

When missiles were introduced, JS/ironman is something like 25% of success past first missile strike, because it's always lack of funds because of constant re-recruitment. 
They say build farming bases. Savescummers, they are. There's no money to do so even with all cashy missions done and 4-5-6-10k score each month.

And then came Xilmi and introduced Brutal AI.
And on JS/ironman everything is fucked past first 10 battles.

So, most fun will be Davy Jones with Brutal AI + little savescumming.

I tried the JS, and the sheer amount of ninja bases was just so... boring. Like 20 bases with just 2 mission variations in them by the time missiles start raining in just 6 months? Why not I guess...

But by the way, does brutal AI work with xpiratez? I didnt use ti cause I read its buggy?

XPiratez / Most fun difficulty?

« on: July 26, 2024, 04:06:43 pm »

I was wondering which difficulty is the most fun one? Either in the concept of what you enjoy more, or in the concept of how many features the difficulty has that are disabled on other difficulty leves.

One of the new player guides for xpiratez said that there is basically either JS or "the else" and they said the mod was designed with JS difficulty in mind. But some other post claimed xpiratez was designed with the 3rd difficulty in mind. I also found claims that lower difficulties have some features of the mod disabled.


So far I started a run on 2nd difficulty, made it to cca 2 in-game years, then I started a new run on JS, 6 months in and I already encountered quite a lot of new content I never encountered on the previous run.

The download link is down, is there some other link? Even to an old version that does not work with the current x-piratez would be fine.
