Is there any way to beat the AI? I always get creamed! Can someone post a strategy?

Megvolt there must be something wrong with your game if it's still tripping cheat flag. Make sure your exe doesn't have the cheat tag added on it. I've heard this by itself won't trip the flag as long as you don't actually use the cheats, but it's better to be safe. Otherwise you need to email or post in bug reports your problem and see what they say could be the prob..

Good question! I would expand your question regarding megvolt's obscure slang to:

WTF does WTF mean?

Do share, Mr. Pottymouth Megvolt. We await.

It is not normal at all to research a tech victory right off the bat in less than ~30 turns, without researching anything else or even having your homeworld population break 10k. It appears that you have manually modified your race definition (likely granting huge natural bonuses) or other game data files to make this possible.

This is the cause of the cheat flags. If you want to play without getting the cheat flags, delete the modified .raceconfig files (if that is what you did) and only play races modfied purely by in-game means on the metaverse. If you modified any of the game's core data files, you will need to restore them to their original states or reinstall if you didn't make backups.

Wash The Floor. Generally used because the person saying it just made a bit of a mess

Mumble, I'm certain that everybody knows what it means. Sometimes you need to restrain the urge to help where there's actually a joke in progress.

   I can't believe they have a wiki for wtf, is there anything that isn't there.

But do you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that you can joke along? Do you?

Sore loser as well?

Seriously, megvolt, we want you here but if you're going to post in the Metaverse then don't be an idiot. Play it straight.

You now know that cheating doesn't teach anything and people don't take kindly to the act.

Delete your characters with cheat flags and start fresh.

Who knows? Maybe you're really creative when you play against opponents that you can't rape with cheat codes. Maybe you'll contribute a strategy of your own.

I'm asking you to be real, not to leave.

Bah. Let him go. He will be back if he wants to play legit.

Well, now I think I have an inkling of why some of you lads take the Metaverse stuff so seriously. Nothing like data to help a wit cut all the more sharply

p.s. Trying to be a good beta volunteer has made me think maybe I should bother with the Metaverse in future b/c it is good "citizenship" to give the devs data even if you could care less about something like a "score." Given the ludicrous number of people playing this game, I bet I'm not *entirely* alone.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible that Megavolt inadvertently changed his .raceconfig file and just forgot?

Only other question I have is, after he was told what he may have done, why did he still decide to bolt?

And ummmm.... he was cheating no doubt, whether he intended to or not.

Listen people get framed by bugs in the system, It happened to me it can happen to anyone.

And people whom use cheats are reaking the fun for themseleves they don't need you do it for them wheely.

I agree with n0v4k4n3 strategy, if you still can't win turn down the difficulty to bigginer and follow the manual step-by-step.
