[quote]Any strategy takes advantage of the game mechanics in some way. But I do understand what you're saying. I refrained from doing any ZYWs for a while, until my curiosity got the better of me. 70k plus points for 10-15 minutes of play does seem a bit broken.[/quote] Overall scoring system is broken. For example I can't undestand why the same game finished as diplomatic vicroty scored twice less than as finished as military victory. (I just test this with my last game). As f

[quote]The +700% bonus tiles never appear on tiny maps. I've played probably 150-200 ZYWs, and I never saw even one on tiny. And for some reason, which I am not sure about, the number of bonus tiles is higher also. It's probably directly related to map size & number of habitable planets. Look at these two home planets I got on gigantic ZYWs for example[/quote] It looks for me that it is also DT/DA specific. With ToA the best what I got (gigantic, everything rare, suicidal) was +700% and

[quote]You can see from my best scores with each map size, that there is a strong correlation.[/quote] Impressive. Can you tell how many turns it took for above scores. With which version did you get those scores DT/DA or TA. I'm playing exclusively with ToA and can't reach such scores. May be you have some special tricks ?

[quote]One more question, am I correct in assuming tht if you upgrade a colony ship to a transport that you keep the people/soldiers that were already on board?[/quote] Yes, You are correct. This is why I use not original colony ship, but colony ship with 500 colonists at the start.

Can't see Edit button. Exactly refers to last quote in previous post

[quote]Cool strategy, just curiou s why you would go with gigantic.[/quote] Gigantic to max score. [quote]Is it necessary to NOT win too fast in order to build up a score? Personally I'd try it just to have it done and not worry about score.[/quote] Exactly It looks that the faster you win the better your score. On gigantic suicidal I have following results: 43 turns - 44800 36 turns - 48300 32 turns - 51800 25 turns - 52850 22 turns -

[quote]KseAlis: TA is much harder than DA/DL, especially because of the lower starting capital and stricter economy in the early game[/quote] Yes, I just can't afford too much rush buying at the start. But still I'm interesting what is the best score with TA

[quote]Kselis congratulations on getting into the year zero club and wow! you have any hints for those of us whoa re still trying to finish in under 20 years?[/quote] Thanks. So far my best zero year score is 56350 much less than the top scores 80K+. But it made with ToA v1.91. Some trick which I'm using are ({'m using all labs gigantic world suicidal): - design Colony ship with 500 colonist and upgrade both Colony and Miner at turn 1 - research Impulse Drive starti

It seems that all top scores made with DA v1.80g. I start playing GC2 with ToA v1.91 and so far my best score is 56350 - game length 5 months 2 weeks no ARC standart terrians against standart Thalans. I'm wondering what is the best score with ToA v1.91 ? What is the game length for top scores? I also can't figure out how to post the image without a website to place it on.

[quote]Welcome to the Metaverse KseAlis. I've got at least one person in my empire who is in their 60's, and I know there are a few other players on the forums in their 70's. Sentient species taste better...[/quote] I thought about asking to join to Kzinti Empire, but this Empire is already at 1st place - this means nothing to do there. After that I found Gerontocracy and naturally it looks like proper place for me.

Hi and thanks all in Empire. Sorry if my English is bad, its not my native language. My usual nick is KseAli not KseAlis (this is abbreviation of my daughter's names - Kseniya and Alisa). I have played with this nick first GC and even was few days 1st place in those Metaverse. But real life problems forced me to stop playing. Week ago I have bought TA bundle (never played GC2 before) and start playing TA metaverse games. Just finished 7th game (small crippling cultural).<br

Thanks. Finally it works.

Thanks for quick explanation

I have joined to Gerontocracy Empire (player KseAli) but my score didn't appear in AltMeta. Can somebody explain what should I do to appear in AltMata

Thanks for quick replay

I just joined to your empire thought empire screen on Metaverse. I'm 58 years. I saw myself in empire screen, but not in AltMeta. Should I ask confirmation from senators or this is just a matter of time to appear in AltMeta?
