Looks great!

Out of curiosity, will the loudness-problems some of us experienced during the invasion sequence be addressed? With the new screen looking that good, it'd be a real shame if we had to pay for it with our eardrums.

I think you mean "of". Now would I be on the right path if my conclusion was that we will see the developed planet during the invasion, if so.

Yes...that was an issue with the weapons effects class being re-used from ship battles, and since that part of the screen is being...uh...replaced (read: taken out back and shot), your eardrums should be safe

Looks great!!!

Will there be different types of soldiers animated in the invasion screen? By that I mean will you be able to see if the troops are regular marines or space marines and can you tell the race by looking at the troops???

I for one would think that would be fantastic (thou I know that a lot of people don't care )...


Keep up the good work!

Well i'll be! If you need help rendering anything, drop me an email, i have a workstation with idle time at night... Err... Well... During the day when i'm asleep i mean. Yea yea, i'm a night owl, sue me! I work from home anyways!

That would be extremely cool...

What we're doing with the invasion screen this time around is shifting the focus away from the soldiers and onto the planet's surface (what improvements that have been built)...so unfortunatly there'll be no soldiers to see. 

However, as you build up your worlds, you'll get to see your sprawling cities in full glory (and get to see them burn to the ground if you're not prepared).

Like that.

However, when invasions get an overhaul for GC3 (sometime in the forseeable future) I'm sure you'll be seeing your soldiers in action.

Very Noice! Do we get to see little troop pods dropping down from the heavens to scortch the unclean alien landscapes?

We'll see...right now I'm just trying to come up with a system where we can crank out as many of these improvements as possible (not all will have invasion movies attached to them).

I also want to have versions for the various Invasion Tactics, so, in the end, it's whatever we have time to do

BoogieBac are you guys working 20 hours days 4 hour naps???

Has Brad set up Cots for all of you @ the office ??? ..

one question will we be able to view this without the invasion process, like in the planet information screen?

Oh, purdy.

The tidal wave and massdriver attacks will look awesome, I hope.
