In some cultures it is considered impolite to pick on children, in others it is a sure sign of cowardice. It is even a crime to do so in some countries. I think it's time to stop beating this dead horse and go back to slackinghobo's original thread. I have a hard time keeping pace with the colony rush as it is on normal mode



Losthero is registered on the Metaverse. It is unlikely that he has a pirated game, and if it is, and it got him on the Metaverse past the Stardock watchdogs, then maybe he is a computer wiz.

colony rush? i cant find the planets and I end up with only a few. but they have weak little ships to my couple of monster ones so i end up taking them all anyhow  

Yes. But in a lot of countries manhood is achieved at 13 and many at 16. Now many countries will also try a 16 yr old as an adult in a court of law, dependant on the crime.

So to say "child" is to loose of a term, and here on a forum, one's maturity and behaviour is probably the best guide.

In this case, it was well deserved, but as you said ...move on to the OP.

Make sure to get stellar cart/sensors 1 as soon as possible, it shows all the stars.

See the first ships i build are survey ships, and i build around 4 to them A.S.A.P so by turn 5 or 6 when my first colony ships are coming off the line i have a pretty good idea where they are going to go.

When rushing i try and mark out where i deem to be "my territory", and it is usually 2 sectors in every direction from my home. (depends on galaxy size though). So i will try and take every planet in that area, could be from 30 to 50 planets. Once i have this i shut down my rush and start on building constructors and fighters plus research, research,research. Once i have this, maybe 4 months into the game (i rush buy alot) then i start my first war, normally with the Yor if they are close, i don't like them getting too big an area of influence, if not, then on my closest enemy.

Good with computers, not wiz. i may be good with computers but i'm hopeless with the internet  , even ask my friend LastArmada (though he is having troubles of his own). I'm really 15 turning 16 but i like to be called a 'young adult' so i say im 16.

Or he went to a store and pretended he was intrested in buying the game, but really he just openned the box so he could take a phote/ write down the serial code..
And yes this does happen, my friends do it all the time *looks innocent*

dont worry, i didn't steal the serial i have the box to prove it. bloody expensive game though, $79.95 (then again i did by it at chadstone).

hey I just learned something new! putting a quote in my reply box O BOY. 80$? GC 2 and the GOLD EDITION combined did'nt ccost me that you got ripped or are you talking pesos?

No, I'd say 80$ sounds normal.
GalCiv2 Import 50€ + DA 25€ actually would be about 100$.
GalCiv2 German 20€ + DA 25€ totals about 60$.

Or, my own variant: GalCiv2 German Collector 30€ + DA 25€ comes to 80$.

Just as an example.

wow, had no idea it was that much I paid 39.95 for GC2 and 29.95 for the gold edition which comes with DARK AVATAR guess I got a great deal I know I,m not going to complain  

No... i was riped off, Chadstone is one of the most expensive places in victoria. and that was just for DL. imagine how much DA would cost!

how do you put those quotes on your replies?

Hi!

BR, Iztok

like that? cool.

I hate Victoria, might have something to do with the fact most of my in-laws live there....

Bloody Victorians...

Damn inlaws  

I've seen screenshots on this forum of someone using a wall of ships, but that was ages ago. I think it was on a hard difficulty level, and they walled themselves in while building up military starbases. Yeah that's right, it was in a thread about military starbase spam. Then when he didn't need the wall he upgraded the tiny hulls to fighters and the military bases made them virtually indestructable.

i would have love to meet that person.



watch it! victoria is cool, or at least better than south australia.

Better than South Australia you might be, though that's not much of an achievement.

How do you tell when you have meet a South Australian? They have a circumcision scar on their forehead!

OUCH  

LOL... god i'm evil, people will hate me for this. good thing i dont believe in good and evil anymore thanks to 'Archin Ethic' i know the truth.

An interesting theory, the wall of ships. Not going to use it but to each their own. My personal silly strategy is to build farms after my first factory. I know, I know it makes no sense yet it seems to work for me. My quetion is that if LostHero is playing on Suicidal, which is way past my skill level, why does his little medal say Cakewalk? Just curious, thatns for listening.
  

Thats not nice, Its funny but not nice  

i dont know why it says cakewalk, or why it says i'm evil i haven't played one game on the metaverse because my games been stuffing up, im playing me first game now. hopefully it will change.

because he does not play sucidal, and plays it where Player has an advantage over AI?

The very evil and cakewalk medals are the ones shown by default, when the player has no meta games submitted yet.

please read my last relpy


they are? god i have a lot to learn.
