[quote who="clanlindsey" reply="7" id="2137452"] My latest effort. The only real difference between this game and my 1.1 mil game was that I got the econ event about 15 months later in this game. Well, I also went neutral rather than evil. I had fun with the TA version of the MCC in the last two games, but overall I think neutral is the strongest choice in TA, particularly if taken early. I'm going to star a game using the Korx now and see what my accident
Thanks, KP!!! Here's another one: [IMG]http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww150/ajkfjaioIIl9Wkk/041309.jpg[/IMG] This squeaks by my previous high score by about 5K.
I'm trying an idea on the Immense galaxy today. Works OK so far: [IMG]http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww150/ajkfjaioIIl9Wkk/041209.jpg[/IMG] I'll run it 2 more years to see what happens. A modest increase: [IMG]http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww150/ajkfjaioIIl9Wkk/041209a.jpg[/IMG]
[quote who="kryo" reply="7" id="1262428"]By the way, what's the hot-key for the galaxy map popup? I think Frogboy said it was added later, after the hot-key card went to print. Thanks. I don't know the hotkey for it, or if there is one. However the "button" is the little triangle circled on the right: [/quote] Just so you know, ToA crashes if one uses the little triangle button, and then zooms in on the galaxy map popup. Edit: Oops, didn't not

I have now verified, quite by accident, that the ToA planetary governor will, indeed, fill up my planets with industrial sectors if I make the error of adding a factory to it's cue. I am pretty sure, at this point, that it will do this with any upgr
I'm never goin drinkin with the LentzLandians after a game again! Their women are a menace. Nothin weignin that much has any business swingin around from the rafters and throwin bladed weapons around. An I hae no problen with their "pin the tail on the Jessuin" game, so long as it is nae MY tail that they're attemptin t' use. An they had this one exceedingly large woman named Helga who kept jumpin up on the table an takin credits t' remove revealin bits of her armor. I had t' spend half the S
*bump* Well, I managed to squeeze some more points out of the Korx. [IMG]http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww150/ajkfjaioIIl9Wkk/041009.jpg[/IMG] Not even one econ boom the entire game, and I was playing as neutral alignment this time. The +50% purchase-now reduction was great, but the map was not so good. Still, not too much micromanagement required for the points. All in all, I rate this experiment as a success. I believe another thimble of single-malt is in order!<
Thanks, CL!!!! And great job on the TwP Forum redesign! The logo I put there is temporary, until I make one that looks like....well, let's make it a suprise.............

So malevolent are we towards the stinging beasties, that we recently decided to help out or neighbors, the Jessuins, by eliminating every single bee from their homeworld! A slight miscalculation on our part, as it seems the ghastly little creatures are necessary to their food chain. To make up for our minor goofup, we w
Well said, CL! Another demonstration of why these forums are far superior to the average gaming forum. When I first started playing metaverse games, a player by the name of Harbone had just set off a firestorm of controversy over certain tactics. It was correctly pointed out that it is up to the individual, and his or her personal sense of ethics, to self-govern in regards to the use of questionable tactics. There are some techniques that I simply refuse to use in metaverse games sinc
[quote who="GmOOnii" reply="5" id="2130817"] This is the quiet before the storm. Let us not be lulled into a quiet catnap in the proverbial sunspot of overconfidence. Verily, we must arise and muster our numbers for the ultimate showdown between feline cunning and the shadowy forces of our pursuers. The ToE leviathan is slowly gathering to strike at the fiery heart of the noble Kzinti! We must not underestimate their considerable might, nor be reluctant to charge ahead with our ears back

I think it just takes less time to build them, and/or costs less to purchase them from the shipyard. Personally, I think the Guidebook should also drop the size of the survey module to 0.
Thanks!!!!! We're havin a 1/2-off sale on that guidebook, too! How does this match up against your games: Feb 1, 2229, 453 of 540 planets, 3.8 Trillion citizens. Here's another tip: I changed my mind and converted all of the wee surveyors to wee miners instead of constructors. 1/2 price for that too!
[quote who="clanlindsey" reply="18" id="2129954"]Woohoo! Go Snark, go!! I'm going to crack open a bottle of Korx right after I finish testing some theories in my current game. What happened to my daily Scottish joke on the forum? I miss them. [/quote] Man, I sure can buy lots of good stuff when it's half-price! I tried your tip ralating to unused planetary military production, exept I made wee survey ships. 64 in a single turn! The anomolies got wiped out in record time, an
Cute fuzzy beasties totterin down the sidewalks of doom beware, ya wee blubberin dafties, ye! I opened me bottle o' single-malt Korx, an I'm a sendin the Shathi diplomats fer yer worthless hides. Roughly translated, that means I am playing the Korx as Neutral this time. +50 purchase-now discount! And I've learned the ways of the long-term lease on certain items. So far it is working well. It is Nov of Year 0, and I have 111 planets, a new personal record.
Well, I had me a good ol' PBR (cue Dukes of Hazzard music) for the modest score increase of my experiment: [IMG]http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww150/ajkfjaioIIl9Wkk/040709a.jpg[/IMG] The larger purpose was to sacrifice the econ score to try and boost the society and military scores. I was able to break 300k on the military. Now that I know how to do that, it is back to the lab to try and break 300k with the society score. A secondary purpose was to pay attention to
