Snarkotamus

   I saw Braveheart and another movie about Scots with Rob Lowe (Star Wars: Quin) does that count.

    My family lineage dates back to 11 century England and some Swedish so I have no Scottish in me. I'm more like a knight in shinng amor and honor than chasing rainbows for that pot of gold and little green men that say " Don't eat my Lucky Charms".

Lucky Charms,  is not the Scottish? Oh, but in Braveheart, he said "Its's my Island" and Scots do not have a Island.

    @Snark, Too bad we didn't join forces  because I add our scores together and we could of taken 8th place from The Geckodons and be in the top ten all at the same time.

    Yes, I like ToA but my scores come from DA.  As far as "Good" alignment goes, I do it for honor and the respect of turning down +47% to reseach from that scientist.

GmOOnii, do you actually realize how utterly impossible it is to understand almost everything you say?

I'm not even going to try and decipher that reply. Complete gibberish to me.

@Snark - Good luck with the next game!

  Did you see the movie "Braveheart"?

If you would like to develop some scoring ability in ToA, feel free to ask us some questions about the game and it's unique features. You can certainly play as a Good Super Diplomat, and pull of some pretty good scores. I think Super Diplomat is the easiest strategy for learning ToA, and is also (to me at least) the most fun.

Speaking of guestions, I have one of my own. Perhaps someone with some advanced metaverse experience may me able to answer this:

I started my little 2-Year Korath game after I had already started the latest Kork game. I did not set the Korath to SD, but I did use the bonus points for Influence and Diplomacy. Will this effect the Korath in my Korx game, or does the savegame retain all of the initial race setup data?

OK, enough fun with the View Edits toy. Time to be serious now.  If you are new to the metaverse, and you have ambitions for competition in the other empires, don't go posting 20k games like I just did. There is an evil de'il called Score Depreciation which will scuttle your ability to rack up points. Each game scores less than the previous game, hence it is wise to post higher scores first, and lower scores later. I don't really care about my scores here, since I can always reset the characters later if I want to transfer them to a competitive environment. So, look for more wackiness from me, but don't emulate it if you join up with someone else.

I should correct myself and say don't PLAY for lower scores first. I do not think you can save games and post them in a particular order later.

I loved that irish guy in the movie! That was a classic scene. AC you have to go read Snark's joke on the Twilight Pub forum.....it's a perfect fit for that scene, lol.

Savegames retain all relevant data; changing something in a new game with a game already in progress will not change anything within the game in progress.  (Although I think there may be one thing that you can change that'll cause it to crash, but it's been a while.)

Not true; all your games are worth the same percent as all the rest of them (this percent is determined by how many games you've submitted).  The optimal MV character has identical scores for every game.

That said, it's still good advice not to post scores significantly lower than your average.

"The good lord tells me he can get me out of this mess....but he's sure your all fraked!"

Single funniest moment in that movie.

Hullo everyone, I just scored my personal best, at 1,050,350 using my Dagda character that I placed in the Twilight Pub. This was my first major game I played using something other than unmodified Drath...and I've learned a few things. Just a short while ago I couldn't see how I could do any better than the Drath, so my interest in tinkering with all aspects of TA has already paid off....the bonus was that this game was more interesting and more fun because of fresh game aspects. I'll try to do a short write up on the Twilight Boards tomorrow for anyone interested. I was hoping to go over 1.1 million but I didn't get the econ event until the very end of the third year and, of course, I didn't build a starbase array. I want to thank Motti, Neilo, Deth & Dys all for giving different pieces of advice that came together for me in this game.

I am absolutely convinced that TA games can score over a million every game if the econ event happens before it becomes pointless. Best of all, these games are fun!

@ Clanlindsey, great job   getting over a million in 1 game, me on other hand, I just played 17 games that got me 1,570,100 points which is only 327,852 points    in MV to take 9th place but now I am 10th place. You are a great warrior and I am sorry.
