G.R.O.S.S. communication thread.

Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed. In less than an hour we have jumped 95 other Pacifist Doo Gooder victim empires and lept into 40th out of 135 ranked.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss. US. Are you listening Euro-"Oh lets let everyone be a senator and give em a vote doo gooder democracy alliance?" We come for you.

For a limited time, (untill I decide otherwise) 5 Pure Evil games, (or just impressing me with your game evilness) submitted will get you a Senatorship. Later, being the evil empire pyramid scheme we are, it will take 10. Of course, being the evil empire we are, that gives you no benefits, no pay, but all the alien carnage you crave most.

Now we do realize that sometimes, you just have to fake being good. You sometimes just have to infiltrate that pacifist party. We understand. But we aren't a kinder gentler empire and don't let their pacifism go to your head. And just sometimes, you gotta let the Aliens live (where else would you find slaves for the heavy metal lava mines?)

In the future, we shall update each other in the empire via this thread, brag of our conquests, drink blood wine, and generally just poke fun (creatively and humorously) at those players whom we find to be too goody goodyish.

Our mottos.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

Just win baby.

Here's your ration of skin you do gooder wimp Drengin slime. Now get back to work

EBZeroMatrix you have been made a senator.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you.

The GSS KFD has docked with the Survey Ship of Doom. Hey guys, help me unload this loot. It's not much, but as my crew get more experience, we'll be able to bring in more and more.

Well I did add two orders of magnatude to my score and then some. Question: I have another game at work that is just about to bring in the goods. Do I need to send it in from home or can I submit it there?

"Commander, we've located a previously untouched galaxy. Set course?"

"Yes, number one."

"GSS KFD is ready for launch."

"Let's do this one quick and be back for dinner."

"Aye aye."

"Open hanger doors."

"GSS KFD, raider class ready for take off."

"Permission to launch has just come in."

"Do it."

Crap that last game took me from Very evil to chaotic evil. Oh well. Hey, Kit...do you know the answer to my question about the submission from work?

Also, I'm going to play one or two more at this level and then advance to the next skill level. Can anyone tell me what to watch out for. It probably won't be a problem, because I win at this level pretty handily, but I'm sure the strategy will gradually change. Any hints for my crew? We take off in about 8 hours.

I'll stick my neck out here and say it's ok to submit from a different computer on two conditions. 1) You submit with the exact same player name - "bpleshek". 2) When you installed the game at work and at home you used the exact same serial number.

I know information is encoded in a saved game when you start and that that information could affect whether the score is accepted as valid. I'm a little foggy about the impact of GalCiv installed on two puters. Well shoot, BlackSmoke was able to do it. I reckon you ought to be able to do it provided you meet those two requirements I listed. :)

Not much of a change for simple and normal. The aliens become a little more productive with their planets, but I was able to stick with my offensive military strategy. It wasn't until about painful that I needed to employ some 'cheese' tactics.

The only thing I saw on this was a post a couple of versions ago and the suggestion then was to just copy the save game file just before you win to your home pc and then win it there. It'd be great if BlackSmoke or someone else who has done this can confirm this for me. I did use the same ser# and login info.

thanks,

b,

Remember that you can submit a game twice - but ONLY twice. So, save the game 1 turn before you finish it. Then, go ahead and try it on the laptop. If it DOESN'T work, for God's sake don't try it again until you have that saved game back on your home PC.

Careful! Some of my ancestors were actually convicts in Van Diemans Land. (English slave labour!)

(No they didn't steal a loaf of bread only, touch more serious. 'Loaf of bread' is a myth, if you are interested read Robert Hughes - "Fatal Shore" to more accurate treatment. Caused many people to 'forget' they had convict ancestors when it came out! :D )
