It is interesting. I wasn't sure how well it would work but I think it will. At the least it will be interesting to see how differently we all play.

now my head hurts. Ya lost me at "think". OHhhh its so clear now, see if you just put a 1 in front of an ordinary 0... you get TEN. its eerie. And if i stand far enough away with my glasses off it might look like a Q. Proof of a higher intelligence all around us; just not in my response. Thanks for putting up with my sarcasm Zyx. :)

Metaverse stuff in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

1) For Metaverse players, next to their medals is that circle with the average game difficulty shown. I was wondering if this the value shown is always a strict average or if the age of the game is taken into account as your scores are. Assuming what I think is the case: Can it ever be changed to weigh the more recent games more? 2) Does TA grant a favorite race emblem as DL did? Do you still need to play only DL to get one? I saw at least one player who seemed to never have played

Reply to Racial Medal - Is it still possible? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I have the medal and have never played a custom race, you can check my profile. I do not think you can substitute the Krynn or the Korath. I think the medal just doesn't recognize them. Now, does anyone know about the Favorite Race emblems?

Reply to Racial Medal - Is it still possible? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Did you do the Custom race also KP.You need it as well[/quote] I humbly disagree, unless something has changed, you don't need to use a custom race to get the racial medal. I got mine playing DA with each race except for Krynn, Korath and custom. While we're on the subject of medals, is it still necessary to play DL to get a favorite race emblem? I know in DA you couldn't get it but Ive noticed some characters with them and no DL games. Does TA give them now?

[quote]influence tile isn't so bad if it works with the Innovation Complex.[/quote] Also works with stock exchanges' 5% influence bonus. I'd say build an economic building on it. What is the innovation complex? Is it just another influence boosting structure?

Agreed, except after the first factory build an economic building then another factory. In DA I always buy my first colony ship but I don't know how well that goes with the more difficult economy ion TA. Perhaps let it build for a couple of turns and then buy. AS for the sliders, many would disagree with me but set them at 33% each for now.

Reply to All transports! in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I guess I'll have to take that towel off, an influence victory can not be achieved while you are at war with anyone. No matter what area you control the count-down will not begin until you are not at war. If this were not the case a military victory would be nearly impossible as you will always control greater than 75% before you control 100% of it. The ony way to get a military victory would be to get the conquer all remaining AI planets (or get a surrender(s) ) with the 10 week count-

Reply to Newb - Feeling lost with understanding game mechanics (tech tree, improvements, etc) in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Now my 2 bc. AS you have discovered there is no good manual. As stated by GW you can look on those sites. For specific questions you should always come here. Chances are you'll be told more than you wanted to know. The reason you get conflicting reports about how to build up your planets is because there is no right or wrong way. This game lets you adapt your own strategy. For what its worth, I only specialize the planet with my research and manufacturing capitals. Keep in mind

Reply to Tech Tree ON vs OFF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm up to Obscene right now; my only Suicidal was a ZYW, and as Loupdinour said, it doesn't count really. Although it does on your meter next to your medals. I think I might try a real suicidal on my next game. I think Painful or Crippling were really good levels for getting a good game without having to worry about micromanagement or little mistakes. They were more comfortable. As for tech trading (original post) I have never played with it off. I haven't really seen the

OK I'll bite. Abilities: I hear creativity in ToE is strong so go with that and luck. Maximum Economics, a bit of Pop growth and the rest into research. Go with the Federalist Party for more economics or the Technologists maybe. First tech could be planetary improvements for the bonuses.
