I've scored above 110k a few dozen times now, so I know what is needed for that. ;) The main problem with the idea of encountering the a minor early enough to be of great benefit, is that it would cause a necesarry change in your research order (for invasion or Spore tech), which in turn would cause a serious disruption in your ability to get cash from the major civ at the earliest possible date of March 1. You would have to sacrifice "yellow" techs you really need to make tech-tr

I think the uppper limit cant be more than 125k. No matter how much money from anomalies you might find, you will always be limited by the # of planet tiles, and hence there is an upper limit on research score. With something totally freaky like a dozen libraries and 20 1000bc anomalies you could score a lot higher, but frankly, thats not happening. The odds would probably be quadrillions to one against. There are too many variables that need to coincide fortuitously.<

Certainly, no argument there. Being a score-monger myself at this point though, most of my useful advice is related to scoring. Luckily there are others around with broader areas of knowledge, such as yourself. :) <span style="fo

I also recommend Empire: Total War to those looking for a 4x strategy game. It has turn-based global strategy, and real-time land and naval battles. Although I think Rome: Total War remains my overall favorite of the series. I just love that time period.

[quote who="clanlindsey" reply="3" id="2099052"]I've asked this elsewhere but I am mildly frustrated and would like to solicit other's experiences about the number of planets they get. I've been playing all-abudant gigantic universes. In my first game I got 555 planets. In my next I got 537 planets. Then one after that I got 520 planets. My current game I only received 508 planets. Does anyone know if, as your character keeps playing, you get fewer planets in each successive g

[quote who="Ferrel" reply="18" id="2098857"]I did another all abundant, medium map. 1yr Military Conquest vs. 9 apponents, 8 minors. Got me +100K. A harder target might be 200K in 2yrs. I like these medium maps because I can complete them fairly quickly. Started an all abundant, immense map, but it DOES look like a large time commitment. I'll work at it off and on.

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 -&nbs

Reply to Tyranny of Evil - A Metaverse Empire. in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I really had no clue about the MV or empires back then....my fist submittal with DevilCat was a loss. I thought the points would be a simple sum of points submitted, so that whether games were losses or wins it would keep adding up. I created a post about my new empire, which nobody ever responded to (hehe), and less than a handful of people joined in that first month. I had originally planned to create the Klingon Empire or maybe The Borg, but opted for

I'm not sure when I'll get mine finished either, because a giga-abundant is somewhat slower going than the huge maps I'm used to, and I also picked up Empire: Total War this week. I tripled my RAM from 1 to 3 gigs (two 1 gig, plus my 2 old 0.5 gig modules), but my video card seems to be having a bit of trouble with some of the real-time battles, especially the naval ones. Might be time to upgrade that too. I'm 1

Thanks for sharing some of your colony rush strategies clanlindsey. Definitely some good stuff in there for newer players. :) I started my first giga-all-abundant yesterday, and I'm about halfway through Year 1. Since it's my first game of this size, I dont have a good reference point to judge how it's going, but I do hope to get close to, or over, 1 million points. <img src="http://www.mypicshare
