Title: Does anyone have Hegemonia?
Post by: Unknown Target on January 03, 2003, 06:24:50 am: I just got it, but right now it's totally unplayable, because all the ships are see-through! Has anyone else here had this problem?
My system specs are:

ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
PIII 800Mhz CPU
and 256 MB of RAM.
I installed the latest patch for the game, updated my drivers, and installed Direct X 9, but to no avail! Please help!

EDIT: I looked around on the tech support forum to find it's mostly a problem that the game has with ATI chips, any solutions?

Post by: Arnav on January 03, 2003, 09:08:00 am: Woah that's a weird problem... I run it fine on my Athlon 1800 w/GF4 Ti4200... sounds like an ATI-specific problem. Have you emailed their techsupport?

Post by: Ulundel on January 03, 2003, 09:11:48 am: Heh, it even runs fine with GeForce 4 MX :)

Post by: Fury on January 03, 2003, 01:02:25 pm: Works fine for me. But it has some slowdowns, especially in 4x mode.

Your best bet is probably to search solutions from Haegemonia tech support forums. Because you also mentioned that in your post, then you also know the url. :)

Missile bases makes good defenders. (http://koti.mbnet.fi/~fury/misc/Haegemonia_000.jpg) ;)
The scrap floating around the base are destroyed battleship hulls. :D

Post by: Fury on January 03, 2003, 04:12:44 pm: Ion is not good enough because it sucks in planetary bombardment. Effect is cool though. :p Ion has superior range and accuracy though, very good in taking out fighters. Too bad fighters do not have any usability later in the game, except perhaps spy hunting...

If you want weapon that is pretty much good in everything, it's either quantum or missile.

Proton seems to be weak as well... Sure it bypasses shields but accuracy and damage is otherwise weak. Does not do well in planetary assaults either.

Missiles are slow but packs quite a punch! And they excels is planetary assaults. :) Quantums are very good weapons but can be dangerous because they have area effect, you can hurt or even kill your own ships in close combat. :)

When it comes to military bases, I believe Quantum Military bases are the best. Quantums have area effect so one shot can damage multiple enemies.

Go for it man! The gameplay is a little bit freaky but the graphics, sound and other things are A1-SUPAR :nod:

Post by: Unknown Target on January 03, 2003, 09:47:28 pm: Truly is a great game. I got it along with Bridge Commander (both at full price, not a 2-game set ;)), and I still have yet to really start playing the latter. In fact, I spent the entire day today just playig Hegemonia.

GAME? I'm in Sydney/Australia. Btw, are these in-game shots? They're not that bad... when was Hegemonia released?

Oh, right. 'Cos here in Blighty EB is no more, it was sucked up by GAME, meaning they now have two branches in nearly every town.:rolleyes:

All you need for you Hegemonia info. :p

There's even a B5 mod in the works. Modding tools should be released some day.

It's a rival to EB. Its insignia is Black and pink, as opposed to EB's white and red.

It's not a rival, the Game group own EB, or vice versa. Not sure which.

Post by: Setekh on January 06, 2003, 01:43:07 am: Some of you guys might find this funny. ;) After trying the Hegemonia demo's mirrors, 3D Gamers gave me a 404 and Fileshack won't let me resume my downloads. FilePlanet is the final mirror, which I'm downloading from now, and lets me resume. :)
