The metaverse recalc is done ... or is it?

v1.1 Beta-1 through Beta-2A scores look wrong

May 21, 2006 12:47:40 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hooray! Hooray! The recalc has been completed! Thank you Brad and the rest of Stardock!

I ended up climbing about 100 spots to make the top 50. That makes me feel much better about how well I think I've been doing playing the game, as I am playing exclusively at crippling now. My initial scores - the ones I submitted while learning the nuances of the game at low levels - are hilarious to see, with most under 2,000 or 3,000.

Hopefully all the scores will be much more comparable now.

Uh oh, one more note: something looks wrong.

I think that they may not be totally done with the recalc yet. Or if they are, not ALL of the scores were redone. All of my scores except two feel right. Those two are from games I started during v1.1 beta-1. I know I did well in those games, but not as well as my scores indicate. My scores are here: Link

After the recalc, I am not expecting a 102,000 score for a military victory in 7 turns on a gigantic universe on tough difficulty level (currently Game #5). The score from the game after that one (currently Game #4) is 36,500 for the same parameters, but the difficulty was kicked up to painful for #4, and that game started during v1.1 beta-2A and was submitted during v1.1 beta-3A.

Is anyone else seeing scores that don't feel right? Perhaps the early v1.1 beta scores were not recalculated when they should have been?

After checking some of the other scores in the metaverse, I am convinced that there is a problem with no recalculation of all the early beta games. Nearly all of the submissions from players in the top 10 from v1.1 beta-1 through v1.1 beta2A are in the hundreds of thousands, when the subsequent games are in the tens of thousands. I hope that these scores, too, will be recalculated!

Agreed, the 1.1-Beta scores submitted before the scoring change (which happened in 1.1-Beta3 IIRC) need to be recalculated as well, otherwise the whole effort loses most of its sense.

I mostly agree, though they're still 1.1 with some AI tweaks over 1.0x so I would prefer to see the Beta 1.1 - 1 & 2 slightly downgraded, i.e within a range of values between the earlier versions and the full 1.1.
