noticed changes in AP 1.49I(b).001

from Stardock Forums
Hi,

I've just played a full game using AP and noticed that there is no longer a suicidal level.. I set all of the AI's to the highest level and it comes up as a maso game..

I just scored a 60,000 game at this level on a huge tight rare map.. I must say that it is definatly quicker than GC to get a 60,000 score

it seems very stable.. keep up the good work

Me thinks that they have covert plans to make the suicidal level even harder to beat..

I've found AP easier to beat than GC... simply because there are more races to fight for the same space.. thus giving the player a better chance to develope... so I'm thinking that they are changing the difficulty levels to reflect this..
{I also expect more changes as its still about twice as easy to get the top score.. ie: to get a 60,000 score in GC i have to play maso gigantic rare tight.. while in ap i've just proven it possible on a huge map and alliance victory which would acording to me be worth about 30,000-35,000 in GC.. thus giving players using AP a tremendous edge over GC in metaverse scores.. which is totaly unfair and unreasonable to expect this to remain)

Maybe if you made a shortcut to the galciv.exe in the AP folder and used the -w switch? You know, bypass GCLoader.exe.

Same way as stock GalCiv. Link to galciv.exe -w.

Tried that.. I can't get it to work.. the degug.ere log file reports unknown option -w

BTW i'm using AP 1.49I(b).001 off SDC

Drat - I thought maybe they would leave the -w switch in.

Why I'd like it in window mode is because I use a spread sheet to keep track of things as I play.. (at the moment I print out a blank spreadsheet and write it up as I play..

BTW: keep an eye on Starfleets web page after the clone wars.. to grab a copy of my AP & GC Worksheet... in .xls format

No, I changed it back to the old way because of metaverse issues that we can't address at the moment.

That's a great idea! Sure beats using pencil and paper - like I do! ;)
