What we really need is a per planet option to build primary buidings only on planets. Once all the tiles are full switch off the option and let the planet upgrade to current tech. You would get your new planets up and running much faster and cheaper. Right now getting NLC or Industrial sector tech to early can destroy your economy. You almost want to give it to the AI free to screw his economy.
Stronger governor controls would be very useful. Being able to prioritize upgrades globally instead of going through sorting planet by planet. Set up a governor’s queue so planets always upgrade in the order you want when more then 1 upgrade is available. I would like manu upgrades 1st followed by econ, then research, moral and farm and then anything else. Finish the current project in queue then switch to my global priorities as those upgrades become available. The more planets you got the more
I see your medals Weyr. this forum loaded alot better.
Save game and reload maybe. But sure sounds like a rare bug.
LOL More to do with the recalc then anything I did. Thanks
Unfunfofmps I emailed you at hotmail. If your like me you probably normally just get junk there. Sure hope I can finish a game before the experiment is over.
The story is that the humans "gave" hyperdrive away, but the truth is that it got leaked onto the Internet Not quite true. It was on a computer with Microsoft Security works 2525 software protecting the data and it got hacked by a 1st generation Yor unit. Unfortunately for the Yor and fortunately for earth, the Yor unit had to
Not only that they gave away hyper drive. The greatest strategic discovery in the history of the entire Metaverse and they just gave it away. I mean even to the Drengin? Here you go, come on over for a visit. No, no, don't bother bringing your own death furnaces, you can use our pizza ovens.
To bad you could not save that planet and use it every game. If you cannot win with that start, you cannot win.
LOL It's only a 30 day experiment. Join and all will be revealed. Nothing even revolutionary or anything close to "cheating". I agree looking at his scores it seems impossible but apparently not. Now if he can coach me to those scores he's also a brilliant coach.
Is your MSN correct? Says sorry needs Net passport
The way the Meta scoring formula works I'm better off with my new Character. That's why I retired my old one.
I'm in. I'm already beating the game on suicidal but my scores are only in the 50K range.
Yes, they are changing. But the high beta scores are still in profiles.
In governors area will bring them all up in the area where you change them. I try to have as few as possible so it's esier to manage and now that they are move able it makes my life a lot easier. Instead on setting a new one just move an established one. On the mini screen you can turn everything off except rally points to find them on the map. To much clutter to see other wise on a gigantic.
Yes but it might not be a problem. It might be the way it works. I just don't know. Should I start a new Character? Should I carry on submitting games to what could be a irreparably flawed character? Does anyone know?
I lost a 1/4 of my entire score by submitting 1 game. Is that a problem? Does Stardock think that it is a problem? Have they ever acknowledge a problem? I have absolutely no understanding as to why it happened, is that a problem? My earlier high scores were arbitrarily lowered by Stardock, is that a problem? I think waisting the hours it took to put up 33 games may have been my real problem. I thought the game was going to put me into 3rd or
Well the old formula does not work. At least with my weak math skills.
I found this in the the Gal civ 1 archives. Is it the same as the original is the question. #29 by Citizen IceMole - 7/25/2003 3:38:15 AM This should now be 100% accurate in describing metaverse overall score calculation. For the score as shown on the player page: 1. Separate the scores into blocks of 30 days, counting back from the most recent submission. 2. Within each block take the sum of the scores, divide by the square root of the number o
My concern is with Meta scoring With every game I play my total score goes down lately. I lost 70,000 points posting a single 40,000 military. I don't know if there is any point playing the meta anymore. It would be nice to have some idea what was happening. After all I'm dedicating hours of my spare time to rid the universe of the Yor and score a few more points for my empire. A little information is the least the civilians at stardock could do to aid my cause. <br/
While custom races are get weaker bonus's you can target them to your own strengths and strategy. So more bang for your points. Pick your own starting techs to get a jump in your preferred direction.
Been using this tactic since galciv1. Even give the enemy the transport upgrade tech so they make me better transports. You will find that the same certain races stock pile them every game. Unfortunately one of the changes, in one of the upgrades, was to make them very expensive, at the higher levels, anyway. I even experimented with upgrading my foreign purchased transports with weapons that could get through the planets defences. Purchase, upgrade, attack. Send the freedom fighter
This is news to me to.
For metaverse games. Games started by clicking the metaverse button instead of the new game button. The scores can be saved at this site. At the end of the game you are ask if you want to post your score to the metaverse. Do so and it is recorded in the meta. Click "Metaverse" on the top left menu on this page to see. You cannot win an influence game if at war. So keep yourself in a constant state of war near the end when trying to win militarily. Trick... If you are far a
Cannot help but think, reading the review, that Starforces link "misjudgement" has been a windfall of good press and publicity for Stardock.
