What actions flag a game to be worth ZERO metaverse points

As far as I know some Mods will make your score zero or not recorded. If you do use the cheat by turning it on at the start of the game also prevents your score from being accepted by the Metaverse.

Have you recently changed your account? I did a while back and had to change some information and my score was updated from 7000+ to about 19,000. Mine situation was that I joined drengin.net and previously bought the game. I had two different email addresses messing up my submissions. CariElf told me how to fix it and no more problems. Hope that helps.

There are some things that trigger an anormalous scor. The most known is the +40%PQ flag, that is triggered when you get a too high PQ bonus to early in the game, this one is pspecially triggered by some mods.

This a +40% PQ at empire level (F4 screen, stats tab). The planetary level bonus doesn't trigger this flag.

Even if individually, mods that enhance the PQ bonus (through wonder, improvement, pol party) are certified and won't trigger the anomalous flag, using all these mods and being able to build all wonder/improvemnt that give empire level PQ bonus can trigger the anomalous flag if the empire level PQ bouns reach 40%.

There are other conditions for triggering the anomalous flag, but only Stardock knows them.

This is only partly true. If you use the cheat during the game for instance to see where all the planets are then reload your game with the cheat disabled you are ok.

Do not save your game with the cheat enabled. Once you do that you have cheated as far as the game is concerened.

Thank you to all the responses - I think you hit 2 nails on the head.

1. I like taking PQ improvements and mixed with the 2 mods I use, it might bump me too high. I'll change this here.

2. I have recently changed computer. I'm waiting on kind Carielf to give me some pointers. In the meantime, I seem to have accidentally changed my email address when I made some of my metaverse submissions. Could you advise how to consolidate my games into one?

Changing computers should not be a problem so long as you still use the same email address and same game (ie installed the game with same id code on new computer).

Using the wrong email address is a bit of a problem though. You may have to send Stardock an email to find out if there is an easy way to correct these submissions.

Yes contact Brad or Cari and they will send you the links. I had to do the same thing myself. My situation I had mistakenly entered 2 different email addresses. One for the time I bought Galciv, and another one later when I bought my subscription to TotalGaming.net.

Happy to report all fixed. Many thanks to all who had input. I understand Brad is the 'boss' of Stardock. Who is Carielf? The other boss?
