Good morning Diplos. Tonights the night. (or last night for others) when kiddies come around to rob you of all your health food. Be nice to them and don't scare them too much.
Good morning Diplomats. Its Monday!
In 1.4RC I had the last AI surrender to me with nary a wimper. Just all of a sudden, all the planets were mine.
Interesting bug.
In the past the answer has been no - it is there unless you delete all your games.
You can always try it an see. Make a copy of the old .sav game and load it up in the new version. If it works, great. If not, you still have your original game. Most will work, especially if in the same version series, e.g. 1.4.xxx. Transitions between major versions, such as 1.3 to 1.4 may work, especially the latter minor versions of 1.3 to early versions of 1.4.
Good morning Diplomats. Gratz on the big win, Vulcan2.
No offense taken on my part. I once had a mentor tell me that after you reach the age of 50 you start to chill out and go with the flow. There are priorities that all must arrange in their life. I have mine and others have their own. Rarely will someone elses priority for how the world should opearate effect a change in my world. Thus, pertinant to the discussion in this thread, correctness of spelling as a priority in someone's worldview will not make me check my spelling more than I alrea
Don't tell Wheelofire about text messaging. He would never be able to understand it much less read more than one message before he writes a dissertation on errors in that one message. On the other hand, if he has kids, hopefully they don't have his OCD about correctness and are txtmsg to their hearts content.
Good morning Diplos. The weekend is upon us - after we finish work, of course
Good morning Diplos. Glad you are up and running, Cardassian. Go whop some. ... what do they call them?
Good morning Diplomats. Submitted a 69K game today under 1.41 the game ended with nary a wimper from the AI. Just all of a suddent the planets all flipped and game over. Seems like a bug to me, but I no longer believe that irrationalities in the game are bugs, but features put there to annoy the player.
Good morning Diplomats. Off to prepare a lesson for Sunday School.
Good night FC. Leave the AC on Good morning Diplomats. I must be doing something wrong that I did not use to do. I keep being attacked early before I have much even available.
Great, Kyro.
For those that pre-order, you can download it when it is available. My understanding is that it should be available in November according to Brad's recent journal post.
AS I recall, there are two lines of research for Starbases. One for weapons and one for defense, just like for ships. After researching each level, you can add a module to the SB for defense or weapons. You really need to do both. In the end game, the maximum defense of a SB is insufficient to keep it alive against the top weapons.
Good morning Diplomat. Haven't seen you at the Core recenly Mumble, good to see you here.
I am not sure why people feel that a new player should have the same advantages as an older player, or should even catch up to the score of an older player. The Metaverse, in my opinion, is about two things. One, a record of your scores as an individual, and therefore each game should reflect the score from the game, i.e., raw score. Two, a team competition where each player contibutes to the overall score of the team. The team score can be arranged in any manor one wants, based on the raw s
In metaverse when u press ctrl n, u after go through the entire customise process, so may as well start new metaverse game, rather than using ctrl n. This is not true in 1.31. When you Ctrl-N you wait a while and get a new map and new positions. You don't have to type in anything else.
Also, new minors introduced during the game convert these into PQ15 planets very nicely.
Good morning Diplomats. As we all know from GCI, the MV changes slowly if at all. Recalcs generate all kinds of unhappiness, but the current situation certainly makes the MV less fun or useful. I am doubtful it will change anytime soon.
Interesting thread. Bugs should be fixed as often and as fast as possilbe. For some reason I run into most of them and everything I do I quit playing for a while hoping that a fix will come out soon. My last bug was the Treasury Bug where all of a sudden you end up 2B+ in debt that takes 60,000 turns to work through or a 1000 play years. I wonder what the score would be like after a 1000 years, assuming that you did not get wiped out by the AI whild you had no money to do anything with.
Good morning Diplos. Yes, Chip, that is a problem. If you want to maximize score for a single game, you must micro manage everything. The alternative is to play many lower scoring games, which has its own defect in your MV score as it gets divided by a function of the games played.
Good morning Diplos.
