Ouch. Must be massively different mechanics in place for crusades than for actual combat/raids. I guess the losses are the actual punishment for being told to go on crusade. Otherwise you'd stomp 4-5 systems, even with extreme enemy forces at every planet, almost without loss.

Damn, as neat as this looks, looks like I can't play it. When I run it, the text gets so warped and stretched out that it's entirely unreadable to me. Damn.

Well, that was going well. I managed to anger the Mechanicus by stealingreclaiming three artifacts held on their worlds, and being witnessed doing so twice. Offering them 350 requisition in two seperate trades did nothing to raise our relations, but they weren't really doing a lot to stop us, either.

No, the Iron Wolves true downfall was when they raided a reactivating Necron Tombworld. After clearing the surface via orbital bombardment, 9 of the 10 companies of the Chapter landed to cleanse this xenos stain. The necrons predictably attacked, and as the Iron Wolves' battlecry of "For the Emperor!" rose into the air...

the program aborted, and the last save was 30 odd turns ago.

Definately a fun game, I'll have to keep an eye out for future updates, hopefully with a lot of bug fixes worked in.

You could try it with a program called Wineskin (a windows emulator for Mac). Let us know how it goes.

I can't help you on how to make the program work though, as I don't own a Mac.

Huh, managed to get it working. How do you split your fleet? Wish there was a lil more documentation on what some of the items in game do though.

When you move a fleet you can choose which ships to move by checking the boxes by the ship name (defaults to all)

Change is in the wind, and there may be a new update soon. The red text in the upper right hand corner will tell you if you're out of date. The Emperor protects.

Interesting. Seems like you can make a really powerful chapter by nabbing the fresh blood disavdantage and the sieged one as well as a space fleet. Managed to drop two points in all of the stats as well as nab 3 advantages. Not to mention I can fit all 10 companies on the battle barge, meaning I don't lose marines in space battles because the battle barge moves so slowly!

I've usually gone for Bolter Drills, Crafters, Tech Friends for positives. Suspicious for negatives (screw it, the Inquisition is always suspicious anyway), max chapter size, about 70% gene purity (one bad pick, eat them enemies) and whatever mutation/friendliness I feel like, usually as much friendliness as I can muster with almost max mutation (minimum on bar). Fleet based chapter.

Power fists and plasma pistols on everyone I can. Usually DA as the progenitor chapter, but I'll muck around a bit later.

Plus points: Everyone is in a ship to begin with, lots of ships, lots of troops, a reasonable bit of dakka, everyone loves you, muties don't come out till later, shit tonnes of expensive weapons for free (you don't need to promote people with your "standard" weapons), big chapter with guns and armour to back it.

Downsides: You might eat people or mutate sometimes (hasn't happened yet).

It's worked the best for me so far.

Wow. Space hulks are kind of terrorifying. Anyone know what you get from em?

Also does anyone know what the number of tech marines influences?
