Hi,

how can I prevent the Kall-Morgrul alliance?
I talked to the Morgruls from the pirate ship, told them about the Kalls and their intended attack and let them go unharmed. The conversation ends always with their statement that they will contact their leaders.
I did this in several games.
However, sooner or later I always got the message that the Morgrul-Kall alliance was formed, that they defeated the Phenolians (sp?) and that they declare war on me. What is going wrong? What am I doing wrong?
Is the forming of this alliance stalled only for a certain amount of time? I usually wait quite a long time before I wipe out the Morgruls resp. the Kall and after that the Morgruls.

I love this game. Never thought that Alien Legacy has a competitor.

Thanks in advance.

R.


PS:
Got lots of trouble getting the aircraft. Extremely frustrating, seems buggy to me. It isn't.
Just for the records: In this thread there is a post from Nicolay_P_I. Follow his instructions and you will get aircraft. It seems to me that the correct sequence of steps will trigger the aircraft stuff. When you talk too early to the bartender it won't work, talking too early to the Eran is also not recommended. Nicolay, you saved my day. Thanks.

Does anyone have any ideas how to start out, cause I haven't a clue on how to start, except for following the manual quick tutorial instructions.

That's my standard beginning:

Choose your Instructors: cheapest pilot, medium scientific and builder, no fighter for now.
Research sats and mining droids. Deploy Sats. Research and build a Sat Carrier. Deploy sats throughout the whole system. Research everything that will be offered. Build at least one Transfer Ship.
The first part of the game is mostly about money. Colonization is pretty expensive.
First colony IMO should be Mir (place a miner station there before colonizing), second should be Penelope (again use a miner station before building a colony). (You have to "discover" both of them though)
Take care of your colonists. In this thread you can find a post about the infrastructure and its relation to population. You must build in advance, if you get messages about lack of food or housing, you already lost thousands of colonists and their taxes.
If you discovered Jade send your Transfer Ship. This will trigger the main storyline of the first part. The race is on ;-)))

Hope this helps a bit.

If you have Windows XP, you can use

rightclick 'START.EXE' and choose Properties.
You should select de memory tab.
Set your "EMS" memory at '1024''

ans start de Start.exe from your normal windows environment.
(Still can't find how to fix the sound though)

What version of DosBox do you use?

DosBox and VDMSound are always better then trying to run the game in Windows enviroment, IMO.

Im a bit confused.. I've played, and a bit with the help of the guide..

I did manage to set up the Kall to fight the Morgals. Further I found some tech at planet2 moon2. (or was it moon 1? somewhere there )

Now I have only been attacked one time by the morgals. Further, the planet Jade does not appear to be in system1 anymore, though the spy reports it exists.. I only have the trooper unit to do ground attack and that aint enough to attack the morgal's main base (they have about 120+ and keeps growing) whereas I only have about 80.. The development of more troopers takes too much time :S In space I have no worry's..

Am now in year 2930 and have 3974276cr on my bank account :\

Can someone give my a pointer? Im quite desperate right now

IIRC you have to go to the bar and talk to the informant (the guy near the bartender). He will tell you something about a planet with an advanced civilization in the 2nd star system. Meet them and help them, DON'T do it for money. They have something to share with you which should solve your problem.

Hope this helps

Thanks a bunch! It indeed helped k: :brain: !

Only I progressed to far in time that the morgal's come with a pretty large fleet and kills me quite a bit maybe I should take a save game further back in time.

(I still wonder why Jade has suddenly disappeared from my 1st starsystem )
