Woah! Nice one, Motti! Though we have a 4 year 17K up our sleeve.

A point to note. ___________________________________________________ Alright, meta leaguers. Very important point. Elwood has just informed our team in our forums of a bug in v1.80e that can let fleeted ships travel an unlimited number of parsecs every turn. Now having that unrealized Tyranny of Evil bit(though unwilling to join) in him, it has been suggested that it can be used for an advantage. I'll assume that this is because it might not trigger a cheat flag and thus be und
If only those gamers knew of GCII they wouldn't be wasting their time on them others. They'd be wasting their time on GCII as is proper. :) I voted for GCII, btw.
[quote] Blind Exploration (Check the box. No seeing AI sphere's of influence.)[/quote] The screenshot was kinda correct(except for the "force AI to use CPU Intensive algorithms). But if there is any confusion still, the GCII [I]manual[/I] addresses the misconception well. :)
A suggested slogan for TA. "Buy it. Its [B][I][U]TOTA[/U][/I][/B]lly awesome!"
We have revival of the Hitchhikers. Lets not lose it.
I really like this idea. Not because of the tech tree but because of the main map potential.
[quote]I can do that if everyone wants. [/quote] Combine the best of both worlds. Include a link for the DA and DL settings screenshots and also write them down as you normally do.
Cool idea. Would help me in the Overall game map.
A suggestion, maybe the OP can have a screenshot of how the current round settings in your games should look like just so no one gets a "Aww, man! I forgot to disable tech trading! Dang it". Here's what I mean: DL version: [img]http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8476/settingslo7.png[/img]
Very interesting co-in-ki-dink! Why don't I get a mega-event where Pirates are actually powerful. I mean I got pirates once or twice but they are 5 attack 12 armour frigates while I have about 40 attack frigates. I've always regarded pirates as a minor annoyance and even that because they manage to get one of my trade ships every once in a while.
[quote] Does anyone else have any great stories about the entire game turning upside down in the span of literally just a few turns? One word: Suicidal. [/quote] I mean it. Suicidal will rock your boat. Most probably capsize...
Don't get your knickers in a knot. Us suicidals can easily top that.
C'mon mates. Lets give Stardock a 24 player salute. ;) We have 3 thus far. Salute.
[quote] In more positive news, we are only 100 pts(not 1000) away from reaching 8th place in the Altmeta. Good work to whoever played that last game. C'mon now. You deserve some credit, raise your hand. Oh, I think that was me. I posted a 19k game today, cultural conquest. But next time I will go for a military again. <img id="ImageResize_Image_24" onload="ImageResizer.createOn(this);" src="http://images.stardock.com/smile
Spies don't bother me much. In fact, I don't bother with them too. Espionage is beneath me. :LOL:

I just saw the recent posts list, does anyone(namely stardock) think we're lousing up the site?
What? No new players for me? :( Dang it! :LOL:
[quote]In evolutionary terms to compare Galactic Civilization to Galactic Civilization II is like comparing an early amphibian to a Human. [/quote] I like frogs... and turtles.
Bad news, The Colonial Fleet recently gained a 140K game and that really sets us back. We need at least one player to make a Gigantic game with a 120K points(military starbase array). I'll bridge the gap with a suicidal tiny. If you're wondering, my suicidal small went woefully wrong. I lost by a narrow margin. Well, I haven't lost yet but the suicidal is way out of my reach unless I devote a lot of energy into the game. In more positive news, we are only 100 pts(not 1000) away
[quote] I know I am. If 7 people made the same time then 7 people should get a reward. Besides, its really not adding any negative factor to the league. Leave ties as they are. I'd be fine with any of these options. However Neilo grabbed the bull by the horns and ran with score breaking speed ties so we may as well try it out for a round. It's probably not that much worse or better. But I would hope by the end of this round we co
The AltMeta just updated with my game. We now have only a 5000 pt gap between us and 8th place. In the official meta, 36K will get us 10th place. I'll do another suicidal soon. But this time in a small galaxy. Maybe right now.
