Good luck to the Orcas,

Remeber, to us Hitchhikers, you once were a thermonuclear missle

Yay! My new hardware arrived!

Once I'll be through the troubles of installing Windows (sic...) the galaxy will SHAKE!

Congrats on the new hardware!

Happy install e-stab   

Sorry about the previous misunderstanding - just hadn't seen you arround   

Gotta get going Diplos - Just not enough time in the day though   

so you acept anyone? well if you acept me my armies are at your disposal. i'll try to keep you updated on other races.

All are welcome. Just one rule, Have Fun.   

I recommend signing up at the galactic core as well. There is good stuff around in the public areas, plus we have a private forum.

The Galactic Core

The obligitory spring yard work has slowed my game progress, but I hope to put something up soon. Then it's back to smaller one to two week games. These gigantics are a test of patience when you know you just have ten hours of mop up duty left( Arceans being mopped as I type this   ).

Only ten hours?

Looks like 899 planets on my Gig abundant all map.

Wow! Tells me I won't be doing the gigantic/ all abundant thing with DA. 470+/- with DL is about my limit   . I may have to try it once though   .

Finished my first and last DL v1.4 for 508K. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this game. Now if I could only finish a game in less than 2 months.   I guess it's time to bite the bullet, install SDC and get onto DA. Not looking forward to those speed nerfs.

Great going Mumble   . Looks like your the newest member of the elite 500K+ club.    I hope you drop some knowledge on us mere mortals in the diplo's area at the core, I can use all the help I can get   .

Hear, hear! And a round of drinks on Mumble!

This is really quite an accomplishment! Happy hunting!

Morning all!

588K for the empire.

Very nice too   

Awfully quiet round here, so I'll yank my own chain for 134K    You guys must be working on getting us back to number one. I'm going to try to chase down Wyndstar in the Galactic/ Military class now, so I should be able to produce some quick hitting smaller scores to further the Diplomats cause in the process.

Oh really?

Good luck!

lol .. I was waiting for that   . Somebody has to give you a run for it, you've got your self a lofty perch up there.   

This epic game rocketed me into the top 25!



This was a gigantic, everything abundant, very fast research, suicide game against 9 opponents. By May 2228 I had 474 out of 475 planets but I left the Altarians with one planet to extend the game. This allowed me to complete my queued up projects, build up my economy (e.g., max out my population), and build up my military. On Aug. 8, 2228 they succumbed to my influence so I reloaded the game to extend it further. An alien influence backlash event kept them from flipping again until I finally ended the game on Aug. 1, 2229. At game end I had 10.560 trillion tax payers and a fleet of 3963 dreadnoughts(huge hull) plus 36 destroyers(medium hull), costing me 135354 BC to maintain but still leaving me with a surplus of 107266 BC! If I was only interested in my maximizing my final score, upon completion of the tech tree, I would have built Industrial Sectors or Stock Exchanges over my NLCs but instead I continued to build NLCs on research bonus tiles, planets with rings, and my Tech Capital because my aim was to max out my empire's potential output. If I set research spending to 100%, my Tech Capital was outputting 6496, without any economic starbases!

Here are some game statistic:
Date Society Technology Economy Military Overall Ships
2228/08/08 27806 12433 43166 12648 138000 ~700 Huge + 36 Medium
2228/12/15 34416 12433 56012 21719 163000 1808 Huge + 36 Medium
2228/12/22 34824 12433 56789 22340 164500 1884 Huge + 36 Medium
2229/01/01 35233 12433 57567 22969 166000 1968 Huge + 36 Medium
2229/08/01 47025 12433 78933 22969 205000 3963 Huge + 36 Medium





I'm tried of these epic games taking months to complete and I'm tired of extending games to raise my metaverse score, plus near game end this game was using ~1000MB of RAM and my system only has 512MB! I see DA 1.6 Beta 2 is out! For now on, I'm going to just play non-metaverse games on small/medium maps. This way I will be able to complete games much faster and try out the various DA super abilities, plus I'll be free to try out the many mods as well.

v 1.2 ?

Hello everyone I just joined the empire, after having learned a lot reading through your forums. I'm looking forward to helping (in a very small measure) the Galactic Diplomats get back to #1!

Welcome aboard!

Be sure to register over at The Galactic Core as well and post that you are a diplomat to gain access to our private forums.

Good hunting!

Congrats to the latest 100k/200k/500k+ scorers, and welcome aboard JustinSane4! Your nickname sounds like it'll fit our empire just right!
