arghhhh..... ctl-n is jusat the same as quitting and starting again... no difference... Are you trying to tell me that you never ever quit a game that your loosing.... and then start a new game ... sheesh what is cheese however is starting a game saving it activating cheat mode pressing Ctl-U (to view the map.. and take not of where things are) then reloading your save game and using that data you wrote down or memorized .. but there is nothing to stop

The Outlandish bribes has been on Cari's fix list for a while.. and I do believe that its being fixed in the next update.. (at least a weak) When this exploitable bug gets fixed (yes.. she told me that there is supposed to be a limit on the number of months that you can go for) so I do expect the number of alliance wins to drop when its fixed (and yes you can blame me for getting this fixed.. I reported it when all the talk about cheating started.. as I thought it may have been how

changing the perty at the start does as you say.. and theres nothing wrong with that in itself.. but what he did in the middle or end of game is what is cheating.. and he doesn't strike me as being that stupid not to know that it wasn't cheating... as the AI's can't chop and changfe parties in mid game.. the game isn't designed to do it that way.. and so the data could have got corrupt.. and changing back to the same party all the time could have corrupted the data in the exact place where the a

for example.. what ewver you used may have overwritten the wrong area of data that was going to be submitted.. thus maybe making it look like the same game resubmitted ... which could be the case... ??? think about it... you don't know exactly what was overwritten do you.. especially if you don't even know what a hex editor is... eg: dfid you study or compare the data being transmitted ?? of course not..

Reply to Metaverse Scoring Audit in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I seem to recall that the registration of a player in the metaverse stated that if Stardock caught you cheating that you would be deleted from the metaverse.. (I'm not going to try to get that page up again as I don't want to wreck my account) If someone newer can remember the wording I think that it'll help.. What I hate is that when ppl get caught cheating is that they always invariabley try to get out of it anyway they can.. and start saying "why me" .. R

I don't think is because of a party mod.. as I'm using one myself and nonme of my scores have been deleted... (thank heavens) I use some cheeses too.. and my games are still in place (In fact some of the cheeses I discovered are being used by lots of others.. with no ill effects). Any party changes effect the AI players too (so i've been told) the only advantage that you can get from the player stats from the start of the game that give players bonuses over the computer players are the

Well.. Stardock did state the reasons.. If they had have given us a hex dump of the data transmitted then others could be tempted to follow and try it out for themselves.. and for those that don't understand the raw data would only get confused by it.. When Companies catch hackers they don't tell their members how the hacker got in.. same principal here... the prevous assertioon as has once again poped up was due to anomilous scores being repetadly posted.. not just

I don't believe that Stardock are that stupid to delete scores unless they are posative .. it wouldn't be in their best interest.. and don't forget that when you submit a score. that it doesn't just submit he score.. but also other data which they can check and compair.. and it is extreamly unlikely that playing any 2 games from 2178 to 2190+ that everything except for the checksome and game ID would be the same.. In my mind I too thought it would be easy to cheat.. by simply adjusting those

I agree... I hate cheats ... but I must say that I am suprised that its taken so long for them to start cheating like this and that there were only 2 of them. Very Dissapointing as they'd built up such respect here in the Galciv Community.. It makes one wonder just who that can trust

Even if it was the same just re-written for the modern day pc's it would be great.. Question: What about running into Copyrite problems.. if not for the game desing then still may have a prob using the name.. I've seen many many re-workings of old games that will no longer work on the modernday pc's.. they nearly always run into these problems.. and whats more they are usually near the end of developement when the complainant does anything about it..

Reply to Anomolis score in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks... I just got on to Cari last night.. and she informed me of the same .. but that wasn't the problem... Yes I've found that my PQ ability score was too high (I had it set at 50) but as I say that wasn't my main beef / bug report.. My main problem was that when I checked for Anomalous score by retiring it didn't detect the anomaly ..(like it has done in the past) If it had then I wouldn't have submitted the score..
