I'm sick to death of mindworms and i read on one of these forums how to get rid of em. However, that was a while back and now I can't find the post. It had something to do with tweaking the alpha.txt file. If anyone can help, I'd certainly appreciate it. |

Raman, Other than setting up your game under the main menu for "rare" native life, or achieving Voice of Planet (I think that's the right secret project), I can't help you on the .txt file. But you raise an interesting question that I'd like people to answer (after helping you, of course, because I remember the thread you're talking about): How many people find the mindworms, despite the energy you get for killing them and the fact that you can capture them, a waste of time? At first, I hated them. But now they form a valuable source of energy AND pretty good members of my army, paricularly after I raise them to be big and mean only to "set them free" near another faction's base. It reminds me of "Ding-Dong-Ditch" (I'm not sure what the equivalent of that game is in other countries [you ring somebody's door and run away--usually after having placed some disgusting "gift" for them to find]). Anyway, Raman, I guess what I'm saying is: Mindworms are better than sex. Use them. Abuse them. Love them. But don't delete them. Yin |
