I did just manage to change the opener piece for DA -to the Atlantis theme I'm currently working on switching out the in-game music files. I have a back up folder with the original files of course, and I'm checking into adequately themed music for the various pieces in game. However, I believe that there is a Locater for the music so I'm renaming the files to match the piece they are replacing (ie the

I guess its all Butterfly Effect, a change in any one dynamic can/will produce major and/or unpredictable changes elsewhere. Let's break this down to simpler components. There is the presumed assumption that Suicide levels are not difficult enough due to the use of sneak attacks, which the AI is unable to properly use or defend against. In response, the development team has presented a Right of Passage treaty that will drop non-treaty races to 1pc/wk and after declaration of war, or first atta

ah, I was wondering how we jumped so much, since my game only added 14K (not that I'm so self-centered to think I can have us reach #1 on my own...no, not that self-centered at all ) In any case, GOOD JOB! Marshall

To Kryo and/or others from SD that may be listening, after conversing with Mumblefratz we are in the thinking that Achievements 6-9 have, as yet, not been given any status. May we humbly suggest that my supposition (a Conquest, Research, Influence, and Political victory with each race) be submitted for consideration for those medals. I would suggest that would give more than enough reason for players to try out different strategies and submit more games to the Metaverse to achieve those goals.

In a huge or gigantic map its not really a bad idea to get one or two more Survey ships out there, not necc. for the BC anomalies (which are still helpful, if small, but I don't use them to allow another Rush Buy, 500BC will keep me afloat for a turn or two) but even the stat increases, getting a few econ boosts makes a noticeable difference over time. After doing some quick testing, Using the All Factory approach, IB you are correct in giving yourself the Research bonus. At the very b

Thanks Butterfly. I have altered the OP to reflect how Naval ranking works. With the Difficulty avg I know that at least at one point it dropped the decimal point to only using the first integer(ie 5.88 became 5 even though it should have probably become 6) If someone can definitively answer that I will change the OP to reflect it.

Thanks DA. There are some minor bugs with the Medals and I know the devs are aware of that (since Kryo has mentioned that he should have one of the medals that Frogboy has). Maybe once TA comes out they can fix this but its a pretty minor thing and doesn't seem to affect anyone really. Thank you for posting the Link also, I didn't think of that, oops.

Many out there have been playing on the Metaverse for a while and have earned a great number of medals but those that are new to the MV or to the Galactic Civilizations universe would have to traverse a large number of threads to discern what each medal actually stands for. So to ease the searches of those that don't have the time or ability to search for all that I present, as to the best of my knowledge, what each medal stand for. First off, to have Medals appear under your posti

I know this is kinda an old thread, but if anyone else has this happen you can also hit the "Clear" button in the race customization screen. This will reset the race selected to its basic non-altered form (whether it be a built in race or custom race), this is easier than deleting the xml file

ok, well in Sandbox I only play Gigantic abundant maps and I too have run into the money issue. I have played at Suicidal -though no victories yet so I know what you are talking about when you sit there and watch the AI launch massive amounts of colonizers faster than you can blink. My play style: I use a MV-capable custom race that has IIRC, 65%morale (allows for a starting 57% tax at 100% moral

Chapter VI: Reality Twisted “I have met the son of Alan Bradley and he can not be more than twenty years in the reckoning of the humans.” “Oh, very observant, Lord Vega. Then, you have met my grandfather Michael.” Vega’s shallow breathing and quizzical look at me were in some way a bit unnerving but I rationalized it as a result to shock. I took a step closer. “Do you know that I wasn’t always called by this name? It means ‘The Man Alone in the Noble Shadow’, Eleysa

Chapter V: The Shadow Revealed “Who are you?” said Lord Vega as my personal bodyguard surrounded him. Not once had anyone in the Arm seen one of us unmasked, in battle our soldiers use a nano-disruptor to commit suicide and leave no remains, and even amongst each other we remained cloaked lest a spy be among us to report back to its masters. I let out a cold laugh. “Many have asked, none have been answered. Why do you think I would reveal myself to you? Just be content than e

I PROMISE not to abandon this one, I already have more chapters either actually written or at least story boarded. I'm finally through my first round of exams in school (so it'll be about another 2 weeks before they (the profs) decide to slam me with all of it again; and while I'm putting in a lot of time at work, I will make sure I will make at least one, if not two, posts this coming week.
