Hey everybody, I revived my [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/172707"]want a new way to learn the ropes?[/link] thread in the hopes of increasing interest in the MVL. I would especially like for our newer players that have joined such as JustinSane4 and Wyndstar to stop by and tell what they've gotten out of joining the Metaverse League. Also, please promote the MVL everywhere you are, and also conduct yourself in a manner that will bring more players here. A healthy MVL requires a he

Reply to Want a new way to learn the ropes? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

It seems we've had a "slow down" in new players joining the MVL so let's bump this up again and get some newer players of the MVL to come and voice some of their thoughts and opinions about why they joined the MVL. I've seen as many as TWELVE THOUSAND guests logged in on the GC site, so if we can just reach a handful of those players we will be in very good shape.

Reply to Ai benefits (cheats?) in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

the AI in DA is written better than in DL. But even so, it still falls into certain traps at any difficulty level that make it possible for the human player to walk all over them. My guess is that you are actually trying to play in a style similar to Civilization or other TBS games and that just doesn't work in GC. For example, generally speaking, a truly balanced approach (33/33/33 in the production slider) will allow you to build in all areas but it severely hampers your production

Reply to MVL Round 8 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

we promoted from within; well with the obvious exception that I was granted my captaincy originally by Neilo when he created the Villainy for the last draft. Once I became Commish we all talked amongst ourselves and Neilo became our choice. Our captain, formerly myself & now Neilo, has both been a guide to his teammates and let them grow on their own. We are probably more directly involved (more 'captain' like) than some other team captains. We have set certain goals, benchmarks, etc

thanks Mumble...I'm starting to get into my own groove now (to the beat of "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna currently :LOL: though yesterday it was "Lullaby" by Stephen Lynch-seriously funny song there) as a ps...I can tell I've taken too many policy classes when while I was doing the OP I worried about the needs of blind individuals...only to realize that they probably aren't playing GCII anyhow.

yes, i posted that particular peculiarity (ooh alliteration) in my "Metaverse Medals" thread @KP: lol yeah, but even looking back at March... I don't always manage the win, but I do usually score in the top 5 pretty consistently, and well they say a "steady pace wins the race"

interestingly enough, my Racial Victory Medallion still appears under my name even though I cleared all the games from that character. I am wondering if it still shows up once I post a new game or not but haven't done that yet.

Reply to MVL Round 8 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

ok, i could see something like that working Mumble. What do the other captains think? As it currently stands: The Bladerunners have 39pts and would have the 1st and 10th draft pick Domination of Death has 44pts and would have the 2nd and 9th Eternal Villainy has 49pts and would have the 3rd and 8th The A-Team has 49pts (but higher overall score) and has the the 4th and 7th picks The Celestial Crusaders have 50pts and have the 5th and 6th picks ((as cur

Reply to MVL Round 8 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I figured since we seem to be in general agreement about the reverse order draft that we would still use the last round as a template that is the first round of the draft would go in order of lowest ranking board team to highest (so ie if Team F was created it would get the 1st and 12th draft picks). How about once the initial two rounds are completed we can have one round of trading. Any captain can trade for one other player that has already been selected. (ie if Mumble selected Wynds

Reply to Kryo? 250 win medal??? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

@KP: again, let me state, as i've done many a time already. we don't KNOW that the Achievement #6 medallion is for 250 Victories. We have ASSUMED it is. Not all of the Battles Won medals have a corresponding Victories Medallion (75 Battles comes to mind). At this point, we just want to know WHAT the remaining achievements stand for. If we KNOW that, we will know if they are working or not.

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Oxor is nice because you have a Class 10 and Class 8 (and a world has to be class 5 i think to be able to have bonus tiles on it {thats why you never see them on most secondary worlds}) Take the +10% PQ and you now have a HW that has a 10% inherent morale bonus (or rsch terraforming early). A very powerful combo indeed.

Reply to MVL Round 8 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

oh as an addendum to JustinSane: using the avg score/yr, actually Mumble may still end up as the "weakest" player as he usually has to drag his games out to get the scores he achieves. He may get a 40K game, but if its in 5 yrs thats only a 8K/yr average. And if let's say Neilo had all 1yr 12,500 games well, Neilo would have the higher per year average. Just a thought. you posted while i was typing: you most definitely didn't offend anyone. I don't want anyone to EVER feel like they

@Vegjed: Your setup screen should look like the screenshots in the OP; that is blind exploration not checked which means yes, you will be able to see where the AI is. In many respects this should actually be one of the easiest rounds played in the MVL. But its simplicity hides it competitiveness. @JustinSane4: I know what you're saying but one strong player doesn't make a team; and unfortunately, I could cite examples of such. Also "strong player" can be subjective. While Mumble se

@Mumble: now that you've explained what you mean by the Franchisee pick, I do like it. I originally thought you had meant, like Pndrev did: 1 Captain, 1 Franchisee, and 2 Draft Picks. One Franchisee and One Draftee is workable to me. I also REALLY like the Draft Order that you proposed. And by "really" I mean overwhelmingly approve of it. There is also a slight chance we may need a new team for the upcoming season. I have already received notice from a player that he would
