Orbital 2000, welcome. :) The Metaverse is basically dead at this point. The game has reached the end of its lifespan for the huge majority of players. Most people have moved on to other games, including Galactic Civilizations III. No, there is no multiplayer. Maiden, great to see you and that you have been doing some ZYWs, hehe. I just finished up playing some Age of Wonders III, then went back to play some Civilization V, and next I'll probably be playing Pillars o

Hey Maiden and Mina. :) I just became aware of Beyond earth a couple days ago. Have not checked it out yet, but certainly will soon! I got my star name in GC3, just simply "Kzin". Sentient species taste better...

Ah, excellent. :D I hope it's not like the Elemental release...that was a disaster! Sentient species taste better...
I've played a handful of games recently, not for score, but just for fun. Huge or Gigantic abundant maps with everything but influence or conquest victory turned off, and foregoing any of the exploitative tactics that have been used for scoring in the past. I played until it was obvious I was going to win, then stopped. The cleanup part at the end of the game becomes too tedious to play til the end. Good fun! :D <img src="http://i249.photobuck
Multiple MCCs definitely not MV legal. But like was said before, almost nobody is using the MV anymore, so cheat and exploit to your heart's content. ;) Sentient species taste better...
"Can you name a *single* empire secret for which that isn't true?" Yes, of course. Silly question! [e digicons]XD[/e] Sentient species taste better...
I am not aware if Maiden used that for his game or not, but in my opinion it doesnt seem like it should be MV legal, as the MCC is clearly designed to be a unique wonder, and getting multiples of them could only be done by exploiting one of the two bugs. Is taking advantage of one bug less exploitative than the other? Not really. I know I said to the Kzinti at one point that anything that allows multiple MCCs is clearly not an intended part of the game, and it should
Well, considering you cant get multiple Mind-Control Centers without using a cheat/exploit (of which some of us have been aware for quite a while), I dont see much point in documenting it. ;) Edit: If I remember correctly, I think the Kzinti and ToE talked about this at one point, and agreed to never use it. Maybe a Tyrant can tell me if I'm remembering accurately. <img src="http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg212/mbeyna/newkzintibanner1.png" alt="" width="264" heig
Hey Silver! It's still easy to re-download old games you already bought, so I'm glad Stardock made sure of that. I recently downloaded Fallen Enchantress, but I havent had much time to look at it. The original Elemental was so bad that I'm having trouble approaching FE with anything but hardened skepticism. <
A long time indeed Seth! What have you been up to? Sentient species taste better...
I'll definitely be getting Rome II. The first one was really good, but then I was disappointed by Empire Total War. Sentient species taste better...
Yep, about 4 years too late. The League was quite fun though. Sentient species taste better...
I havent tried Diablo III yet, but I have been playing Civ 5. The new expansion added in religion, which had been a big hole in the game, compared to Civ IV. It still needs some improvement, but it's getting there. Sentient species taste better...
Hey Scanian! Always good to see another familiar face around here. :D Sentient species taste better...
Maybe try to take the #1 spot in tiny, Scanian? ;) Sentient species taste better...
You can wait for Diablo II all you want...I'm waiting for Diablo III. [e digicons]^_^[/e] I've been playing Lord of the Rings Online, and will be getting Civ V soon. Sentient species taste better...
Congrats Mumble! I thought we had all broken the MV before, but now I'd say it's complete, hehe. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Congrats to Sole Soul as well for helping to make it happen! Sentient species taste better...
What's up Silver? Maybe 10 years from now they'll finally make GC3, hehe. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] SaintMina, I have very little experience playing with good, so I cant help you out much there. Sentient species taste better...
Clearly the solution is to purchase more licenses so you have enough characters to match all the various voices in your head. ;) Sentient species taste better...
I'm already eagerly anticipating next year's post! ;) Sentient species taste better...
Hi KaiLae. :) Well, I am more familiar with the Kzinti from their home universe of Known Space, by Larry Niven, rather than in the Trek universe. So I am not well versed on the Lyrans. Roddenberry and Niven were friends, which is why the Kzinti showed up in Star Trek. I read that if "Enterprise" had continued for one more season, the Kzinti would have made an appearance...to bad it ended. There are many books from Known Space, if you are interested.
I was never able to get that to work reliably, and I dont think other Kzin used it as standard procedure either. I found trading techs away to be more than sufficient for the most part. I just downloaded Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, but I'm kind of lukewarm about it so far. I'm not fond of the user interface for one. <span s
Well I've been mainly playing Lord of the Rings Online, with a ZYW here and there, still trying to increase my record a bit. An MMORPG is not really my genre, but some of my friends play, and it is now free-to-play. I've been having a good time with it, but might be done with it soon. They never did "fix" the MCC in any DA version...it still has the 100% econ bonus. <img src="http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg212/mbeyna/newkzintibanner1.png" alt="" width
Hey Neilo. :) No, I havent seen any real difference in the Metaverse as of late. New players here and there, but not any more than usual. The ToE forums do not exist anymore? Or maybe the link in your thread is pointing to the wrong place? Sentient species taste better... </em
