FINALLY!!! I have returned to the top 25! ah, i remember my stint in the top 10, low these many versions ago. Also (not to be boastful, but I'm going to brag), I broke into the top 5 evil player board - up until today GROSS held all 5 slots, but now I am 5th (for at least a few hours until KitWarrior submits). Also, I am the top rated evil player in the fellowship! (sorry Ray) bwahahahahahahaha! FriendJosh [Message Edited]

[quote]We'd love to have ya Back with your Mates Josh.[/quote] hahaha... and my 39K would be enough to put gross back into the lead... LOL personnally, i figured that gross had taken too many ex-anzacs. the anti-gross forces needed reinforcements. plus, back when a top 25 player could have a soloplayer empire in the top ten, gross was the arch-rival of anzac. i have a long memory and want some revenge! :p

actually, i was trying to find a nice fit - anzac was going downhill after freedom force was founded. so i had the fellowship or mwr... i tried mwr for a little while but they didnt seem to be as active as i would like, so i jumped to the fellowship. josh ~SDC~

Reply to Scoring in 1.05 - we need your input in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Frogboy et al, This thread seems to be asking for long response - so here's mine :-) Personally, I think that the metaverse should be based on the basic premise that the one who wins the MOST and the BEST games should be on top (in that order). After that, then the idea comes down to “what is a perfect game”? What one person considers a perfect game is not what another one considers. In fact, newbies are inherently at a disadvantage since they don’t know what

Reply to Please update windowed version in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i do other things while playing (ie. work :-) ) i know its an extra - and I REALLY appreciate it, but I use it almost exclusively (although I have been playing fullscreen just to get my galciv fix). I just wish that it would get updated to time with fullscreen updates. friendjosh ~SDC~

Reply to Tips for Bright+ in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I find that most of the suggestion here work for me... but i do things slightly different: 1. colony phase - 45% military, 10% social, 45% reserach... crank colonies as fast as possible, colonize like all get out. usually i will also buy 3-4 colony ships to help for the fast initial boost. as soon as I meet others, sell technology (thus the high tech rate) the sale of tech to other races can net enough to boost production up 20/30% total or more. Also, I keep moral at 50 2

Crashes with windowed version after running 1.03A in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi all, I seem to be having a problem running the windowed version of galciv after i upgraded to 1.03A. Galciv starts up okay, but when i try to start a new game (or load an old one), I get an illegal exception and the whole kit and kaboodle goes. Anyone else getting this? suggestions? (ps - latest directx there, p3 550, 256 ram, etc, etc.) thanks in advance! frienjosh ~SDC~

Reply to Things you would like to see in a Galactic Civilization expansion set in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

my two cents: 1. instead of good or evil only tech's - add in some neutral technologies. techs that only neutral civilizations can get. 2. alignment or party specific ships - ie. if you are the pacifists, you can build a great defense ship but no attack ships. merhcantile gives an improved trade ship, evil could give an awesome attack ship, etc. see - two ideas, one cent apeice! :-) friendjosh ~SDC~

Reply to Brad's Starbase Thread... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

FrogBoy, In response to your comment: >> We could handle star bases in much the same way we did Sales executives in The Corporate Machine. That star bases are such immense efforts that logistically you can only handle X amount based on your economy. And this would be updated each year. So when you reached a certain point, it would bring up a dialog saying "Your economy has reached the point where you can now support 3 star bases" and there'd be a visual indicator of each step on th
