Holy Crap, people are actually posting in this thread? And playing GC2!?! How's it goin', all? [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Nice, KP [e digicons]:beer:[/e] I'll have to roll up a game specifically for ZYW purposes one of these days. I'm running a Large DA game at present that came in at 203.7k on 12-22-26, though I would have played it out differently had I intended to finish then. Sorry, but I have to ask: You're not using Dread Lords or 'Negative Balance' are you? I'm not going to try to compete with BS tactics like those. @ Motti, Good to see you aga

My first go at DA... Not too bad, I guess, considering no econ event.

[/quote] Thx, Jacklv. I meant half-assed in the sense that its just a 'victory' screen...it doesn't prove anything. That could be a 10 yr win for all anybody knows. Edit: It is actually a

Last night tried again and actually played out on the 22nd - rushed a bunch of stock markets and discos, landed more colony shipd, etc. Had no effect whatsoever.

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="22" id="2207708"] Quoting Neilo, reply 21Random has a score ready to go that betters Motti's...since we're advertising. He sure does. Hey Random! Post it, dammit! That's too good of a score to just let it slide. Then again, maybe you're replaying it to get an even higher score. In that case, press on. [/quote] I haven't posted it up for 2 reasons... 1

Score a million...get a beer! [e digicons]:beer:[/e] Nice job, Motti

Thx, Kryo...Just posted a game and it took...looks like we're good to go!

Thx, Mumble. Now its official...

Thx for the kind words, guys! [quote who="Snarkotamus" reply="18" id="2167091"] Quoting Random70, reply 15 DL 1.5, 7yrs That is a monumental accomplishment, indeed!!!!! How long did it take to play that game?[/quote] About 2 wks - the last 10 days of which was nothing but ship building.

Unofficial until (if?) MV comes back up. DL 1.5, 7yrs

Nice, Motti! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

This is what I was getting at. If that year 8 score would have put me over 990k, I probably would have tried to weasel my way over million even if it took 10-12 yrs. As it was, due to diminishing returns it looked like it was literally impossible to breach 7 figures, so I pulled the plug. As long as the subject has come up, Mumble, I'll throw this out...In your example above the yr-on-yr score increase was 50% of the previous yrs increase. The larger games that I have

[quote who="Neilo" reply="20" id="2123847"] Quoting clanlindsey, reply 16I loved that irish guy in the movie! That was a classic scene. AC you have to go read Snark's joke on the Twilight Pub forum.....it's a perfect fit for that scene, lol. "The good lord tells me he can get me out of this mess....but he's sure your all fraked!" Single funniest moment in that movie.[/quote] A classic line, no doubt about it!

[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="17" id="2124307"]Congrats Random! I'm sure if you had played another game year, you would have got 1 million, but at that point 1 year for 15k doesnt seem like its worth it. Next game I expect you will break 1 milion. [/quote] Believe me, I would have run this game out to 20 yrs if it had a shot of going over 1m. Unfortunately yr 7 netted me only 13k and yr8 only 5k. If thats not hitting the wall, I don't know wha

[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="9" id="2123609"] Getting 1M+ on DL is really pretty tough and requires a bit of luck to achieve. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get there.[/quote] I hear ya. A little bit better draw on resources (only had 4 econ, 5 mil) would have put me over. Even with the resources I received I probably could have optimized my execution at a couple of key points and still made it. That said, I don't know that I have another DL game in me. I'd like to experience

Looks like its going to take another couple of weeks. My last DL game stalled out @ 985k. :( I'm starting a new Gig/All in DA - maybe that'll treat me a little better :)

Nice game, KP! [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Just downloaded TA 1.96...and I've got a spare character.

I had considered starting a thread like this myself...obviously a good idea :) Hopefully, I'll make this list in a week or so

Thx to everybody who chimed in on the ZYW tech thing. Apparently Sole Soul nailed it with the 1 tech per planet bit. Tried one out today and as usual got 1 tech per turn. Reloaded, colonized my secondary and voila, two techs per turn.

It's not a limit of 1 tech per turn. It's a limit of 1 tech per owned planet per turn. Thx, Sole Soul. I'll try that out. I don't typically colonize my secondary planet. I usually save my colony ship to upgrade to a transport later.

Actually, Cypher after you mentioned it I went into my profile and set one of my characters to default. Thx for the heads up.

@Dystopic... Two things 1) I haven't migrated to DA yet, I'm running DL 1.5 and 2) It's not just limited techs, It's ONE stinkin' tech per turn. Tried one out yesterday as Terrans (to get race medal) Selected max tech race pick, technologist party, spending slider to 100%, research to 100%. Got a home world w/ a precursor library. Suicidal Gigantic Turn 1: rush built lab on precursor, researched Xeno Res Turn 2: rush buy 2nd lab, research Adv Computing (did not g

How about now?
