That explains why I had trouble with with the images in this thread. I checked the Postimage site and I must have grabbed the "Link" as opposed to the "Direct Link".

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="202" id="3214686"]I've lost the patience[/quote]Yeah I know what you mean. I've started another game but I need to beat myself to get back to it. It would be easier if there wasn't an artificial 3.5 mil limit on the score which makes the only real goal a 3.5M ZYW, *if* I can beat myself to finish it.

I didn't do anything, but I'm happy to back away slowly with my hands up if it's working now.[/quote] Let me give it one more test. Yeah it seems to be working now.

As to what will really happen that's still quite a bit up in the air. As I mentioned the UCI claims jurisdiction over the cycling world and the ASO is the governing body of the Tour de France itself, both of which feel they should be involved if there's to be any stripping of Tour de France titles. However while it is true that the USADA does not hold any direct control over what the UCI does it does exert some influence over the UCI which is signatory to the WADA (World Anti-
I recently noticed that my empire had a logo that was certainly not the one I had uploaded so I removed what was there and tried to upload my original logo. I couldn't get the upload to work although at least the offending logo was removed. Could we get Bara to take a look and hopefully fix this so that I could upload a logo of my own choice?
First off the USADA has absolutely zero authority to strip Lance of any of his Tour de France wins nor anything else except perhaps his 2000 Olympic bronze medal. The UCI is the international governing body of cycling and in fact has required the USADA to present it's evidence to them and they will decide what, if anything, will be done regarding Lance's Tour de France and other cycling titles. Secondly Lance has never failed a drug test nor has any of these charges ever
Like Marvin says, it depends on what's most important at the moment however the big benefit of auto-survey is that the survey ships know where the anomalies and you don't so using auto-survey gets you more anomalies and sooner than you could do yourself. The only down side of auto-survey is when you have multiple survey ships out they tend to clump up and become less effective but I find that if I see that happening or about to happen I shut off auto-survey for a turn or two a
[quote]is the community still alive?[/quote]The short answer is no. But while the community is much reduced from that of a few years ago there are still a few folks that check back in every so often and you can still usually get an answer to a question although you might have to wait a few days for a response.
[quote who="SaintMina" reply="201" id="3198076"]May I ask about how long it took to play such a game? [/quote]About 2 months maybe a little longer, which is about what a gigantic all abundant has usually been, for me at least.
[quote who="JustinSane4" reply="199" id="3196724"]That is absolutely mind blowing. I haven't played GalCiv2 in a while, but I'm dying to know how you/SoleSoul did/came up with that . [/quote]SS mentioned that he would like to make everything public at some point. I believe there may be one or two aspects of it that KP would have to agree to release as well but I think SS and KP had at least discussed the potential of doing that. The last I discussed this with SS he was of

I suppose it's possible to get a quick influence victory against only one opponent although I would think you would have to colonize a bit for that to happen so I doubt it would be "instant". You can disable various win conditions when you setup the game. Various victory types have different score multipliers and so a lot of folks di
[quote]But it isn’t the end.[/quote]That says it all. Hooray!! [e classic]:congrat:[/e]
It turns out that there is an artificial scoring limit of 3.5 million in the game. Actually I think it's dependent on the game type and the victory type multiplier. So 3.5 million is the military victory limit. Other victory types should have even lower limits but I forget the precise victory type multipliers and I'm too lazy to look them up at the moment. This is something of a bummer since Sole Soul's methodology is probably capable of somewhere in the vicinity of 6 mill
For what it's worth (not much at this point) here is the only million point game ever submitted on a rev prior to the release of DA. I'm about to reset this character so I wanted to save this someplace and this seemed like the most logical place. The point about it being done in a rev prior to the release of DA is that unlike all current revs of the game, bankruptcy was not simply a minor inconvenience, there is literally no action that can occur while bankrupt in this rev of
May as well resurrect this old thread as well. I did have some unexpected difficulty attempting to go beyond this. I went 6 months further into the game and got 3.5 million, then I went another year and still 3.5 million and then another 6 months and still 3.5 million. Also I was counting on getting a beneficial event or two come October of year 1 but apparently events were disabled
Well here's a somewhat better result again using Sole Soul's methodology. 1st place with a single game and it's a ZYW?
Seems like its been longer than 20 years but I suppose that's about right however my real introduction to 4X TBS games was Reach for the Stars by Roger Keating and Ian Trout on an Apple IIe in 1985
[quote who="kryo" reply="103" id="3176323"]No, whatever is up when it scrapes it the first time is what it stays as.[/quote]OK. Good to know. I think I'll let the ZYW slide this time. Thanks. [e classic]:)[/e]
Does the Altmeta pick up on resubmits? Basically I'd like to submit my game at the end of year zero to qualify for a zero year win and then later submit the same game carried out to maximum score. However once all the dust settles I'd like the AltMeta to display the final score for the game as opposed to the year zero score. Can this be done?
All fixed now. [e classic]:congrat:[/e] Thanks. [e classic]:D[/e]
[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="6" id="3148463"]I know of the issue but haven't had a chance to fix it. I'll try to do so in the next few days. Sorry for the delayed response. Bara[/quote]Thanks for the update. No real urgency. Just wanted to make sure it was known.
