[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="23" id="2112056"] Quoting dystopic, reply 20motti, when i saw you'd switched to a xperent circle, i almost openned up gimp and did a faded version for you (so that it'd blend into any colored background). but then i got hit by the urge to do something else. c'est la vie. Cool idea. I hope you don't mind me stealing it from you. I did a fade and reduced it to 100 pixels. I like.[/quote] Nice!!!!! The fade lends a

I see. I thought it was a secret Italian mathmatics strategy or something. I was envisioning a disheveled Dr. Gubarci sealed away in a dimly-lit Yale lab with a perky coed assistant and a laptop.

In that case, I shall absorb as much of your extensive knowledge as I can and use it to benefit my scores. In a sense, you will be adding to the massive imperial score surplus without having to suffer through the grueling point-grinding process.

Hmmmm. Seems kind of elitist to give something away to someone who already HAS a computer when there is some needy, under-clocked poor person out there who could have it. I think it should be donated to an AIG exec in the name of the winner as compensation for the unfair treatment they are suffering at the hands of the sensationalist media cabal.

[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="16" id="2098276"]Here's a few GC2 related links for those of you who are not famliar with them: GC2 AltMeta - An alternative ranking system for both characters and empires, based more upon recent activity. Scores depreciate down to 0 eventually, unlike the main MV, allowing new players to rise in the ranks. The Galactic Core - Most of the people here are from GC2. It's also where a number of the older em

After a hiatus from modding in general, I have decided to finish this, with a couple of changes. I am going to do it for ToA instead of DA, and I will add some little suprises to some of the other AI races' conversations. If I can figure out how to replace the player resopnse "great" with "dipS&#Ts" in the trade screen, I'll do that also. I will test it to make sure it is metaverse-compatible before releasing it. Since Alan Bradley is not present in ToA, the mod will be designed f

Hey, this type-and-paste stuff works OK! You know, of course, that the original Snathi prototype was one of your yoda-species ancestors. Magnus Snarkididae, during the course of fleeing his very irate, jilted Trandoshan lover, got caught in a dark energy stream that propelled him through time and space to this very galaxy. His tiny ship was captured by the Dread Lords, and the rest is genetically altered history. Tha

I think Clanlindsey's idea can work well under certain circumstances. It looks promising if one has Aphrodesiac, and wants to build ships on new planets to snatch adjacent planets. On each new planet, build a fertility clinic, a starport, and repeat.

Oops, did I stray into the wrong empire's page? How careless. Well, at least the diminuative green one does not say "hello", and then start talking like Yoda in pink font. "not like taco bell, their homemade style is". If she ever got THAT idea in her head, your suffering, twice as bad, it would be.

[quote]Yeah, I've been itching to submit my 700k game, and start another.[/quote] I just noticed that I'm about 25k short of 3 Million total points for the three characters combined. Sure would have been sweet to break that barrier and announce it in post No. 3000. Maybe I'll hold it in until Post 3333 comes up. Oops, scratch that, it's 250k. That would have been a BUNCH of YZWs considering the score depreciation. I don't feel so bad now.

[quote]ry clearing out your game xml's from your Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\Metaverse folder.[/quote] Thanks!!! It worked!!! Now, for some observations on the differences between YZWs in 1.50 vx 2.01: 1) 2.01 has MUCH better planets. High-end tiles seemed few and far between in 1.50. 2) I got much better trade results in 1.50. The AI is downright stingy in 2.01 by comparison. However, 1.50 does not have the handy auto-barter feature which tells one the max amount

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="9" id="2081535"] Ohh geez. I don't recall either. If you play something other than a ZYW watch out for the pathfinder bug and the fleet bug. I think they were around there somewhere. No, that's 1.80e. Snark, isn't 1.5 DL, not DA? And why were you forced to revert to a CD install because of a Ctrl + N bug?

Thanks to the Ctrl-N bug in the latest "improvement", I had to revert to my CD version. Version 1.50. Whoopeee. No telling what awaits me. I can't even remamber what the bugs were in this one [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Edit: Here's one oddity. I played as Altarian, but my posted game has a Drengin avatar.
