Oh Marshall is that a hint of jealousy I hear? I would suggest trying our winning strategy of drinking our way through competitions LMAO!!! (And yes, I contacted Mumble at the Core and he helped me out right away)

I don't know if starting a new team mid-round is necc. a good idea, but thats just my opinion. Adding to a member to a team is a relatively easy thing to do, but having a team organize, set goals, etc etc, could put them at a disadvantage to the established teams who have already had time to discuss strategies and goals. I think teams should only be formed at the start of a new round. If I mistook your meaning or intentions, I am sorry.

also, i'm just curious over the whole 1.7 Beta testers out there. Don't get me wrong, i think the changes are awesome and needed, and I really hope they work out, just that its still has its bugs (obviously, from the failure to post issues) and I personally, am gonna wait before I install it. With that said, most of the MVL players are some of the most involved GCII individuals out there, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that they DLed the 1.7 right away. And I'm kinda buzzed right now so

i thought i would post this here since I know we have alot, if not in entirety, all MVL players here, but I would like someone from the Crusaders to PM me (since Neilo assigned me to them, I sent Firebender a PM earlier) and also I registered at the Core but am pretty much lost on navigation and usage. Thanks guys! -Silver ala Master Ardae-

thanks for the welcome; i'm starting my game tomorrow (since i have the day off woot woot!) and so for whatever team I am shuffled into i will have it ready (obv. I know I won't have the victory condition set yet, but I'll just play it openly since I can work out most end-game strategies from my overall play style)

what a quiet weekend, guess thats what happens when the Evil Emperor puts his plan into place of not having the net for a few weeks(though being the lowly peon I am, don't understand or maybe appreciate the true grandeur of evilness of this)....possibly, it is so that the corporations will instead decide to give those that follow the path of evil tyranny, free internet since otherwise we would have to boil them....at a torturous 46kbs

haha, like im really worried about some bumbling giants and nose-drippin has-beens. I hope to get some more story finished in the next few days (prolly Mon since I have it off, yay!) but I've been busy working on a MV game to bring glory to my empire, and some things just have to come first in my book Thanks to everyone reading and leaving comments so far, i really appreciate it

y'know...I think i'm happy i'm not married; of course, being in college, having fun isn't really an issue right now, and to top it all off I don't have anyone giving me The Look if I decide to play DA for a couple of hours...well except maybe my profs when I turn in B or C level work or nothing at all...(i'm sposed to be the "smart" one haha)

Cool, methodical evil is my game and how I run my corner of the galaxy. As such, it was in my best rational interests for the desire to increase my power and influence to collaborate with other evil overlords with a similar goal. Of course, I know better than to *trust* another evil overlord, and as such have trained my guards to shoot to kill any and all individuals that dare approach my capital. lol, joined the Tyranny today, plan on bringing much glory to myself and the Empire

i used to put a starport on every world, but as i like to play gigantic maps its not really needed. so, for me, i usually have a starport per sector as any decent ship i make past the first year is more than capable of reaching the other planets in a given sector within one turn. on medium or smaller maps, even tho space is more valuable i tend to use my starports a lil more since i need to make sure i can quickly build and defend a world if need be. Tho, I guess its all relative. I like my o

Chapter IV: The Path Diverges I sat in my office looking at the holo recording of the conquest of Drengi. The Drengin homeworld had managed to hold out longer than its colonies, but in time, and with enough troops, it too fell. My foot infantry, clad in their black armor with silvery metallic masks, were marching in formation down the central boulevard of the Drengin capital toward the Imperial Palace. Brother Vegali, a towering behemoth, was there to receive the Terms of Surrender fr

Chapter III: How it Began (2226-2228) “Turn that damn viewer off!” I yelled at the Operations Officer at the forward console. The MC-Republic may not be my command but I did know that my orders took precedent over any lowly captain’s. With a quick move of his hand the officer flicked the screen off and the ugly green insectoid head of the Thalan drone disappeared from my sight. “Councilor, well, now we can report that we’ve made contact with all of the members of the

Author's Note: OOOPS!!!! Its not a biggie but I forgot to post a screenshot for the storyline PRIOR to the "Status Report" chapter. I have included it here, as it will explain the basic plans of the Dominion and who each race is on the Mini-Map.

(Author's Note): Info on the Game itself: This is a Meta game, I plan on submitting it upon victory. I think its on Crippling but I may have put it on Painful instead, I can't say for sure. This is about the level I am usually happiest with the AI and myself without having to really micromanage what I'm doing so I can achieve a possibly victory. I can't say which victory status remains (due to being a spoiler), just that only one outcome is possible. Finally, thanks for

Progress Report: January 2228 First Councilor's Office Eratan Ardae, Master and First Councilor of the High Council of the Dominion Gondolin, Avathar Over the last two years I have been rewarded with leading the Dominion in its expansion to 18 worlds. I have included in this update to my fellow Brothers and Sisters of the High Council, a Quarterly Report compiled by the POB (Project Oversight Bureau, Department of the Treasury).

it was a good read, i may suggest a size up (or two) in map size (weigh the pros and cons though) and more races. Generally, the Krynn, Arceans, Thalans, and Drengin tend to be the most expansionist; Altarians being the most helpful to good or some neutrals; Terrans tend to weigh their options evenly. Winning through ONLY influence is no easy task, its VERY daunting. If you want to take that route, realize that you may need to resort to a military at some point. I've taken on worlds with 1600

Chapter II: Out of the Shadows They named me Eratan Ardae. It meant something once in an ancient tongue used on this world. I had a real name when I was younger, had a family, and a life too but I don’t remember any of it. The plan was suicide. Took fifty or so years to kill you, but it was suicide, when the time frame was up, poof, you were dead. Stopped a lot of people from being willing to participate, in case it failed. I had no such qualms. Having no one that I would be leav
