MV League Round 2

Game rules, settings and tweaks.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi all and welcome to round 2 of the Metaverse League. I think round 1 was a success and we can only do better from here. For those reading about the MV League for the first time, please see the threads at the bottom of this post for any information you need and please feel free to sign up and play, we would love to have you.

Our main goal with the league is to create a new way of playing the game and being competitive without the need to be able to get those super large scores. If we can get enough people playing we just might see the MVL get recognized as a viable method of playing and scoring which would lead us to another goal, that of having Kryo incorporate the MVL into the Altmeta. So anything we can do to promote the League and get more players interested will be greatly appreciated. I do believe that by ironing out a few kinks and showing the community that the League is, viable, here to stay and uniquely different that we might create a whole new way of playing GalCiv II.

A few tweaks to the rules and scoring.

No longer will "random anything" be in my selection process when it comes to planets, stars, etc...

I have tweaked the scoring a little based on a few suggestions. If we don't like it we can change back.

3,2,1 for fastest games, to be determined by submission time if there is a tie.
(get your games in quick guys)

-1 for the lowest scoring game

It is now 0 for a defeat, no penalty.

I can't think of anything i may have missed, i did troll the league threads looking for other suggestions. If i missed something we were going to implement please let me know.

Here is the teams just so everyone knows where everyone is,

The A-Team (A)

CornhuskerMac
Pndrev
Piznit
Dethadder
Xei Win Toh

Blade Runners (B)

neilo
TGE
Ghostwes
Marshall

Celestial Crusaders (C)

Darth
Playjeff
Mumble
Butterfly
TP Scott

Domination of Death (D)

Onto the round 2 setting's,

A military conquest on a small map with 7 opponent's.

Habitable planet's - common
Number of planet's - common
Number of Star's - abundant
Star density - tight
Anomalies - uncommon
Asteroids (DA) - rare
Tech rate - very slow

Disable tech trading
Disable Blind exploration
Enable Mega events (DA)
Disable Super Abilities (DA)

Of course all victory conditions must be enabled and all else is up to you.

Good luck all, this certainly looks like it will be an interesting challenge.

The Commish.

Huh??? It won't let me edit.

For some reason there are no lines between the submissions.

Ummm... you can copy paste it and mark out the lines. Sorry.  

If there is any error lemme know.
Just seemed logical to disclose this. Should I repost with spaces between the submissions?

I will post up the details for round 3 about this time tomorrow, it will include current team list, players who will not be penalized for non-submital and the round 3 rule structure.

I really think we have a good thing going here with the league and if we can iron out our scoring system i think we will be in good shape for the months to come.

Good job Fire, your work is not unnoticed.

Anyone heard from TGE? Has he been seen around here or the core, i believe he has studies that take alot of his spare time ATM but just wondered if anyone had spoke to him.

Please be patient guys, round 3 is just around the corner.

Oh, I did finish a game for the MVL a while ago, sorry guys. I have been very bussy lately with school and volunteering projects. The bulk of basic planning for them is over, and until Cancer Fundraiser season starts I will be free to play some Gal Civ

Its a good thing Kryo caught me on Sins IRC, otherwise I wouldnt have checked in for a few more days.

I will understand if the game isnt accepted anymore, but I did submit one in the time frame I think.

This one was for Viceroy Ivan:

Alignment: Pond Scum Years:7 Victory Type:Military Conquest Score: 10850 Difficulty: Challenging Size: Small

I think TGEs game should be allowed to be submitted in the round. Thanks.

As the penalty for lowest scoring (mine) was removed, I'm not sure that submission or non-submission of TGE's game would affect the scoring at all for this round. We were a 5 man team, so TGE's score was dropped. I scored merely the 2 points for winning under the right conditions. Had TGE's score been included, he would have instead scored 2 points and dropped my score resulting in the same thing.

The main thing is he's back and ready to layeth the smacketh down next round!

I agree. If someone misses a round that's a minor inconvenience but to lose a player is what's really bad. As PlayJeff mentioned I would also support the inclusion of a game that obviously fit the criteria of the league game but as Vilgan pointed out it made no difference in the outcome and so the point is somewhat moot.

Just o make it official i guess, but i also would be happy with TGE's inclusion in the round, but as pointed out clearly already, it makes no difference.

Welcome back Mr Palapatine, glad that you are still with us, we all understand the constraints real life has on our time.

Look for round 3 info later today guys.
