Have you beaten the AIs before the first 12 months of the game have passed?  Post your score screenshot here to brag about your skill and magnificance!

 

Here are the current leaders in ZYW scores:

'Expert' ZYW - Gigantic Maps


1) KzintiPatriarch  - 331,100 points

2) Maiden666 - 301,000

3) Saint Mina - 201,250 points



'Classic' ZYW - Tiny Maps

1) MottiKhan - 56,700 points 

2) Scanian - 43,400 points

3) KzintiPatriarch & Magnumaniac  - 40,600 


Personal Bests (not in the top 3)

Saint Mina - 36,750 - tiny map

Maiden666 1,551,200 points - gigantic map; 251,650 points - tiny map   (not MV legal)

Mumblefatz - 1,218,000  (not MV legal)

 

This thread replaces the original Year Zero Club thread by Pndrev, which is no longer being updated.  Ask your questions about ZYWs here, and also look at the older thread for much excellent info.

I put people's names in colors corresponding to their empires, just for fun.

Using DL AIs is unnecessary for a ZYW, of this caliber or any other.  It can make things interesting, but that's about it.

Negative balance is only worthwhile due to vast quantities of planets-it won't do you any good, score-wise, in the "classical" all-rare galaxy that most of us would associate with a ZYW-provided you can even get to that flip point, which is questionable to begin with.

As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that."

Smashed through the 300k mark!

Made one very significant change, and a couple other tweaks, and success!

A good bit better.

Not sure if I could get much higher than this even with a superb setup.

Congrats SaintMina!

I think I'll just keep this thread.  I dont see any reason to make another post and have the info be more scattered.

It's time to party.   I just barely crept over 200,000 points in a game and surprisingly took Second place ZYW and Twenty-First from a brave warrior, Mottikhan but you can have back anytime you want. My Honor Guard pounds their fist onto their chest and does a Roman style salute to Mottikhan.

I just made my first ZYW. 

 

I got around 66000 points. By the way how do you post a screenshot like the way you guys are doing?

Select your browser as your active window and then press Alt-Print Scr. This copies the current window contens into your clipboard. Then you open up Paint and paste the contents of your clipboard and then crop and edit as desired.

Then go to http://www.imageshack.us/, upload your picture and you'll get a number of links in various formats. Typically I just extract the direct link out of one of the forum code links and then use the insert image function when posting like this.

@Mandrall, Nice job getting a score of 71,400 in less than a year.

I am sure KP check it out then put your score in as a Personal Best in Orange for our Empire

Good hunting Admiral

My first DA submission. Obviously this is of the gigantic all abundant variety.

I created my own empire awhile back when it looked like everyone had given up. I'm really not invested in it one way or the other although I have vague hopes of getting a single member empire into the 10M area which would put my one man empire in 3rd place (actually 4th place at this point but whatever). DA did join with one character and submitted a game under it but I haven't heard from him in a very long time.

All in all I wonder if the whole idea of separate empires is such a good thing. Perhaps things would have lasted longer if we all considered ourselves MV members as opposed to empire members. But probably not ...
