[quote]I think I wanna a Party that gives good bonuses to pq [/quote] You need to be careful - too much bonus, particularly PQ and (iirc) economics, will mean a game doesn't score in the metaverse. Alex ~SDC~
IIRC the demo version (or the registered one without a key) would stop arounf then. Alex ~SDC~
[quote]1/2 hour on max difficulty? Malarky! Ain't no way, even if you know what you're doing [/quote] It's easy to do on huge - you only need an alliance victory to get max points... my personal best time for a 60k game is 23 minutes, and there are one or two people who've done it faster. I'm annoyed if I can't win an alliance victory in under 40 mins... Huge/uncommon,seven opponents, any mods used are from the library - although any silly mods would result in anomalous scores
[quote] How can he complete 2 or 3 games per day at the masochistic level with a gigantic universe [/quote] This is not difficult - a huge maso can be played through in under half an hour if you know what to do. As for the 60k points - that is a Stardock imposed cap - no game can score more than 60k. I suggest an apology is order.... Alex ~SDC~
What - more than a month and no worshipper has visited the temple. This is a disaster Alex
[quote]See this thread (post 3)[/quote] Nice to see I'm still appreciated.... :) Alex ~SDC~
OK - the sites are now beginning to come on-line and the Altmeta (http://altmeta.galciv.org) and the statbot (http://statbot.galciv.org) should both be available. The statbot is currently updating! Alex ~SDC~
The server has been hacked and seriously compromised (:( (:( - I am backing up what I can - but the server will be reinstalled tomorrow (Tuesday) sometime. It may be a few days to get everything back on line. Once the server is reinstalled, I'll be asking webmasters to email me with their new passwords. Note that the altmeta and statbot will also be down! Alex ~SDC~
[quote]If not, why not?[/quote] You're not good enough yet... at least for the Centurions. 100k MV points or 100 games or Veteran.... But you'll get there.... :) Alex ~SDC~
Come on Stardock - play the white man - I've just been recalced for -50000 points yet several (inactive) players (eg Magnumaniac) near me in the table haven't been. This is at least the 5th recalc (ie not from game submission!) that's happened to me since 1st December. Please make it all or none - give us a level playing field. Alex ~SDC~
Check you've got the latest video drivers for your card.....this can help stability a lot! Alex ~SDC~
I don't know - the best definition I've seen went:- Recursion : see recursion Alex

[quote] build Diplomatic Translators. Never trade this advantage to any of the majors.[/quote] It's often cheaper to trade for the trade goods than to build them - typically you can buy DipTrans for around 35bc for 100 turns. Alex ~SDC~

Lurk....
How about a (relatively cheap) fuelling station - perhaps notionally neutral and extending the range of all races who can reach it?
Lets bump this thread back to the top where it belongs.... All hail the Elf-Goddess.... Alex
Another approach may be to allow different "costs" for particular research - the Drengin might find arms related techs easier than eg cultural ones but the Altairians may find the reverse.... Alex
[quote]a member of GROSS was accused of cheating as well. I think it was EBZeroMatrix, [/quote] He was certainly accused of using cheesy tactics. EBZ created the first "cranking" guide - basically how to play games "quickly". Alex ~SDC~
It might be nice for shipyards to have "levels" representing the maximum technology/size/whatever of ship that can be built there. Alex
ills/tech level (a bit like Civ2) Alex

I did read it - but didn't pick up on the queues.... sorry... probably got distracted by the governers Alex
It might also be nice to be able to "queue builds" at a planet rather than using a governor.... Alex
