I play Universalists with speed , moral and range bonuses, I do quick colonize then onto research and starbases to build up culture (note: defence is paramount on starbases due to the massive attacks launched at you by space sharks) without defence they'll quickly be destroyed. I never have to battle the AI. and to keep things going I always have to give an AI a planet back time and time again.. till i get through all the techs (now using beta4) i'll be posting a game later

4 hours.. sheesh.. it takes me d days minimum to do everything on a large map.. at normal level... I guess that i'll get it one day then look out :) anzacs will be number one. and the prophacy will be fullfilled.. What prophacy i hear you ask.. stay tuned to that later. I don't want to give anything away too soon. and besides these dreams are driving me crazy. I'm on a desert planet (supposidly) in exile there because the powers that be at large see that the ANZAC's are a threat to the

So I guess i should hold off on doing up a web page for the ANZAC's :) and don't forget the #ANZACS (Case SENSATIVE) on irc.stardock.com not many ppl use it... we seem to prefer to stay on #GalCiv

"StarFleet Battles I" & "StarFleet Battles II" by Prof. Trevor Sorenson; had a very good system on scoring and promotion through the ranks.. Every game you play and win gets harder.. you don't choose the difficulty level.. mearly the size and duration on the game.. you start of and its extreamly easy to beat.. and it lets you get to know the game. and as you win so it slowly increases the dificulty level. If you loose then you stay at the same level. This w

what i'm on about is that if ppl don't upgrade from 1.05 or any other released version when the xpack comes out ot any further updates then their scores will not be calculated at the same rate as thost running the latest release.. be it higher or lower scores.. I'm not after big scores.. just a level playing field for all If you still can't follow what i mean i'll try to break it down more.. but i don't really want to go into giving example figures as they are really irrelivent

Forgive me if i'm wrong or out of place here... but if the metaverse doesn't adjust scores for playing games on older versions. wouldn't that just encourage those who are getting these high scores to keep using the older versions ? I think it would be better if the metaverse re-calculated the scores when submitted to the current scoring method. and report the change when it reports the successfull posting of the scores. that way everyone is playing on an equeal playing field (bar for ad

Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot more replys / msgs in the forum of late. Its just taken me 3 hours to catch up from last night. the oldest msg on the first page of the forum is only 22hours old (since last reply to it) and most of the everyday threads have had multiple updates as i've been reading.. and i've had to go back and re-read most of them at least 3 times in 3 hours.. sheesh.. no wonder i havn't had time to play a game yet...

The Metaverse rewards everyone for playing the game to the best of their abilities... what ever the skill level may be... The thing is to get a balance. If beginers and normal players (sheesh.. i've only been able to beat normal level once or twice why shouldn't I be able to compete.. ) can't see that they are getting anywhere in the metaverse then they'll simply drop out. no matter what skill level you play there will always be quirks in them and weak points that ca

ARGHHHHHH. not the Continium. we don't want the "Q" popping in and causing more mayhem. (its hard for me not to add the ...'s to my posts. its become such a habbit over the last 6 years. 1. it does provide a pause for effect. and it also gives my brain a pause to think of what to type next. I believe its better than typing "ummm" all the time its also quicker and looks more inteligent)
