Well if stardock has sold you a "broken" product and they haven't bothered fixing it for over a month, and complaints on the forum haven't got their attention, perhaps you should hit them in area's that will get their attention. Hitting their pocketbook and their reputation come to mind. You could reconsider your support for stardock products. Since they are also posting numerous links to game's review sites that are giving TA a glowing review, you could also go to all those sites and (if possi

Normally I wouldn't reply to threads like this but I feel compeled to do so in this case because of the potential of this technology. I am simply going to recommend that anyone who is interested in educating themselves on this issue pick up some excellent books on the topic. Jeffrey Smiths books "seeds of deception" and "genetic roulette" does a thorough review of the science regarding the "safety" of these foods. I believe he addresses some of the political and regulatory issues as

Didn't uncheck "show pre-release version" button but dont have rc in the version number. Version number I have is 1.90.018

Same here no custom race creation option, it's greyed out :(

Gratz on cracking 30K KziPat. My best ever was only a tad over 29 000. Did you use the Korx starting planets?

Yes piznit that is my understanding as well, I think you got it right.

I give a big second to what neilo said. Achieving metaverse goals (in this case medals) is what helps make the gameing experience interesting for many players. Setting up a metaverse for people to compare and compete and then neglecting it is, if you'll pardon my languadge here, half-assed. I frankly would expect more from a company that put out such a good product as galciv2. If you're not gonna maintain it, then better not to have it. p.s. And as for achievement medals, an explana

Good job KzinPat !!!! :CONGRAT: :) :)

I don't know what anyone else is seeing but I don't see the 250 win medal either. I reeeeeally hope that neilo (and myself) haven't wasted our time going for the 250 win medal just to find out it doesn't exist. I won't be playing any more ZYW's until I see a 250 win medal under neilo's name. Hopefully it shows up considering all the grinding you had to do to get it. Hopefully someone from stardock is considerate enough to give us an answer on this issue. We shall see.

Gratz on 250 wins Neilo :CONGRAT: .!!! Quite the grind wasn't it hehe. What are your plans now? You going to go back to playing some "real" games or are you gonna continue to grind to 500?

>[B]I have mastered the ZYW to the point where i can break 30K barrier. My highest ZYW is 32900K and i ended on April 8th. In our continuing battle, i challenge you to break my score... [/B] You're gonna win this one dude. Best I can do is a little over 29 000 and I'm not even sure how I pulled that one off. I actually don't know to many tricks for high scoreing. When I was playing real games in my push to break the top 25 the only things i really did was make sure that I en

Ah yes found it. Do you know what the different categories stand for? The special rankings are obvious but the alt-meta class rankings (Universal X 2, Galactic x 2 and Solar x 2), don't come with an explanation and I have an idea of what only a couple represent. Thx for the links :) .

I actually have no Idea what the alt-meta is. How is it that I'm #1? I'm actually only following the metaverse rankings and trying for medals. What is the alt-Meta and where can I find it? Funnily enough, i live in Toronto...Australia not Canada though... Ah cool I didn't know that there was a Toronto in the land of OZ. Always wanted to head over to the land down under. Heard everyone is very nice over there :) . Congrats to TorontoRock for getting over 100 victorie

Thx a bunch for your offer Neilo, it's much appreciated. As difficult as this is for me to believe, I think I actually figured it out myself hehe :LOL: . Tested playing Altarians with Super ahhnialator ability and it worked for metaverse. Being able to alter super abilities and alignment with stock races will be cool for "real" games. It will also be cool to make some super custom races (with like 200% bonuses), and play against them, although they won't count for meta. Now I just have to figur

Gratz on the racial victory medal Noc :CONGRAT: . Also thx for the link KzinPat :) .

Yep looks like that was the issue

KzinPat, in an earlier post you mentioned that Neilo can alter the stock races custom abilities (meaning super abilities), and still (apparently), qualify his games for the metaverse. Do you know how he does this? When I choose Altarian in DA, it gives me the usual 10 points to pick additional starting abilities but it doesn't allow me to alter thier super-ability. How does Neilo do this? Also, can you change ethical alignment for stock races as well and still have them be ok for metaverse game

Ah ok i'll watch the date of my wins and see if that's it. Thx for the quick reply :)

Lately I've been getting some of my games flagged for cheat codes (you know, that little skull and crossbones next to your game when you look at your profile), and I have no idea why that is. I'm certainly not using any and it seems rather random since I am using the exact same settings pretty much all the time and some games don't get flagged and some do. This is rather annoying since I'm looking to get some more victory medals and these "cheat" games don't get counted :SNIFF!:

My ZYW's on tiny maps can be done in about 5-8 minutes depending on how fast I click the buttons :D

Good luck getting your racial victory medal :)

I see it the same way as you neilo with regards to the ZYW's. I to got most of the way to 25th place by doing the Gigantic maps and it's nice to do quick ZYW games when I'm tired and don't feel like getting into a "real" game but still want to work towards a medal achievment. I have also experienced what you were talking about KzinPat about losses lowering your score. After I got to 332 000+ points and into 25th place for my medal, I decided to grab my purple heart medal by losing five qui

What's The Political Machine. i haven't heard anything about that before. New Game from stardock?

Just wondering how those poeople who are playing the beta's are finding the new victory condition (Ascension victory). Is it creating interesting game dynamics. I'm waiting until DA is finished before I start playing it and haven't checked it out myself. Hope everyone is well

I used the 0-year win strategy to get the 16 000 points or so that I needed to break into the top 25 and get my top 25 medal. I've noticed that one guy (centurion neilo) has used 0-year wins almost exclusively to break into the top-25 as well and get his 100 victory medal. I wonder if you could break into the top 25 by JUST playing 0-year victory games? Not very satisfying I'm sure but doable? Quick question. Does anyone know if the next victory medal after 100 wins is when you hit 20
