[quote] Anyone seen/heard from PlayJeff recently? I see he hasn't logged on for over 2 weeks. He's one of my Team D members who is currently AWOL.[/quote] Yes, he has been inactive recently. Though he does have a game that seems like it is for the current round.
[quote]I'm going to take this moment to thank Mumblefratz for his voluminous info/insight/advice to all players of GalCiv2 on strategy for this game.[/quote] I second this.
Just a quick reminder for those who haven't voted already and for those who are new. Please drop by [link="http://www.thegalacticcore.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5418"]MVL Tiebreak Criteria vote[/link] and toss in your $0.02. :)
[quote] Have you ever noticed that when you reload the game to a point where a planet of yours that was on the verge of converting the next turn... doesn't. The effects of influence resets every time you load. Yes. However since I usually have the MCC I've only once ever had a planet flip to me in the last year or so. I seldom have any kind of a concern of my planets flipping since it's almost always too much influence on my part tha
So, whoever gets reply no#666 is a senator? I'll take that deal! :LOL:
Have you ever noticed that when you reload the game to a point where a planet of yours that was on the verge of converting the next turn... doesn't. The effects of influence resets every time you load. For players looking to use this to their advantage, know that it works both ways. One possible way to avert a premature culture victory is to gift a culture world to the AI (1 colony capital, all culture exchange centres) and take it back later.
Merry Christmas to one and all!
[quote] FB, if you please, toss your coin or whatever and please place Iztok randomly into the Domination or the Villainy.[/quote] Eternal Villainy wins the toss. Iztok is now a member of Team E. Be sure to register at the core and check in with Silver for your forum password.
Good to have you on-board Iztok. And yes, a post on a league thread is all you need to join. Neilo should be along pretty soon to assign you to a team. Although with someone of your stature, I jolly well hope its Team C. :) I guess we'll be taking 6 possible players per team then? (I really don't like the idea of excluding suspected no-shows from the league)
Nice.
I kinda agree with both sides. The AI is good, but it behaves quite stupidly. The AI shouldn't learn when to make peace but how to fight a war better. Right now, it fights with brute force, not strategic thinking. i.e. Send any ship that isn't meant to be guarding a planet fleeted into the player's core areas and engage. Masochistic is very easy and even though the AI gets more resources to work with, it uses those resources very badly. The single and only trick to beating higher diffi
Adrian, to the Tyranny of Evil. Be sure to visit the [link="http://tyrannyofevil.eamped.com/index.php?sid=91178023065cd54a6bbe17f8386753a1"]ToE forums[/link]. A new proposal for the Kzinti-Tyranny Merge. With the impressive official MV scores of 2 million(ToE) and 5.5 million. If we really did merge then the B.C. Space Orcas would be down
As does Team C... on point 6... without the crying bit.
[quote]I've got to wonder why the decision was made to not allow Terror Stars to join fleets.[/quote] The same reason why you can't protect starbases with a fleet. Too overpowering. For logic, of course it should be possible but for game mechanics, not so much.
Noooo, me can't no gets no TA. (:( X-( :SNIFF!: But I still want to congratulate stardock for yet another game well done. :CONGRAT:
Nice writeup. Although a beginners guide should mention atleast the [I]very[/I] basic of how the league runs. i.e. You submit a game and that game counts towards your team's overall speed and score averages. If your game is a distinction from the others(fastest time or highest score) you get a bonus point. At the end of the round, your team's score and speed is averaged. The 1st and 2nd lowest speed average, the 1st and 2nd highest score average and the 1st and 2nd quickest team submis
[quote] But it seems you already have filled all the free positions. Please send me a message when you'll need a new or replacement player.[/quote] We could always make 6 players per team and create a new team next round if enough people join. @Neilo: You spelled "Amalric" as "Almaric".
Honestly, I can't see the difference between that Kzinti and Puss in boots.
GalCiv2 Forums
About 200 more votes and GCII takes 2nd place. Though, in my opinion its better then SupCom at the very least.
[quote] will someone from Team C (FireBender or otherwise) please make sure Almaric is aware of all this; I'm sure he'll check this thread eventually, but just in case. I've sent Amalric a PM filling him in on this, and send him the password to our protected forum on The Galactic Core. [/quote] lol. I already sent him one about 4 hours ago.
[quote]FB needs all the help he can get this round. [/quote] Quick submission won't weasel you in to victory, neilo. Don't count out the crusaders just yet... :) Welcome to Team C, Amalric, three-time straight league champions. Be sure to register at the core so I can send you the password to our private forums. [quote] I would like to be considered for the MVL. After reading though all of the fun stuff everyone is posting I want a piece of the action.[/quote] <
Not fair. I always play with mega events on. How is that I never get any?
[quote]Pity the "judge/jury" can't create a game, post it on the net, and let others battle it out. Or maybe he could? But then he'd need to manually check each of those 20+ finished games. Too much of work?[/quote] Although its never been suggested before, it would create too much confusion. i.e. when mumble posted savegames of his Round 1(or was it 2) I couldn't get my game to run it, for some reason, so I had to downgrade DL and then upgrade it again later. Though then any
[quote]A Kzinti general once said, "Words are the last resort of the desperate warrior."[/quote] I see. Interesting. Allrgihty, guys. Hope you don't mind me not putting in my fair share of games in. Playing for two empires here. I'll dedicate my first game bigger then medium to the Tyranny as soon as I'm done with my current league game. The Crusaders will bring the house down!
