>[B]I have mastered the ZYW to the point where i can break 30K barrier. My highest ZYW is 32900K and i ended on April 8th. In our continuing battle, i challenge you to break my score... [/B] You're gonna win this one dude. Best I can do is a little over 29 000 and I'm not even sure how I pulled that one off. I actually don't know to many tricks for high scoreing. When I was playing real games in my push to break the top 25 the only things i really did was make sure that I en

Ah yes found it. Do you know what the different categories stand for? The special rankings are obvious but the alt-meta class rankings (Universal X 2, Galactic x 2 and Solar x 2), don't come with an explanation and I have an idea of what only a couple represent. Thx for the links :) .

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I actually have no Idea what the alt-meta is. How is it that I'm #1? I'm actually only following the metaverse rankings and trying for medals. What is the alt-Meta and where can I find it? Funnily enough, i live in Toronto...Australia not Canada though... Ah cool I didn't know that there was a Toronto in the land of OZ. Always wanted to head over to the land down under. Heard everyone is very nice over there :) . Congrats to TorontoRock for getting over 100 victorie

Thx a bunch for your offer Neilo, it's much appreciated. As difficult as this is for me to believe, I think I actually figured it out myself hehe :LOL: . Tested playing Altarians with Super ahhnialator ability and it worked for metaverse. Being able to alter super abilities and alignment with stock races will be cool for "real" games. It will also be cool to make some super custom races (with like 200% bonuses), and play against them, although they won't count for meta. Now I just have to figur

Reply to Flagged for cheat codes problem in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yep looks like that was the issue

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

KzinPat, in an earlier post you mentioned that Neilo can alter the stock races custom abilities (meaning super abilities), and still (apparently), qualify his games for the metaverse. Do you know how he does this? When I choose Altarian in DA, it gives me the usual 10 points to pick additional starting abilities but it doesn't allow me to alter thier super-ability. How does Neilo do this? Also, can you change ethical alignment for stock races as well and still have them be ok for metaverse game

Ah ok i'll watch the date of my wins and see if that's it. Thx for the quick reply :)

Flagged for cheat codes problem in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Lately I've been getting some of my games flagged for cheat codes (you know, that little skull and crossbones next to your game when you look at your profile), and I have no idea why that is. I'm certainly not using any and it seems rather random since I am using the exact same settings pretty much all the time and some games don't get flagged and some do. This is rather annoying since I'm looking to get some more victory medals and these "cheat" games don't get counted :SNIFF!:

My ZYW's on tiny maps can be done in about 5-8 minutes depending on how fast I click the buttons :D

Good luck getting your racial victory medal :)

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I see it the same way as you neilo with regards to the ZYW's. I to got most of the way to 25th place by doing the Gigantic maps and it's nice to do quick ZYW games when I'm tired and don't feel like getting into a "real" game but still want to work towards a medal achievment. I have also experienced what you were talking about KzinPat about losses lowering your score. After I got to 332 000+ points and into 25th place for my medal, I decided to grab my purple heart medal by losing five qui

Ascension victory in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Just wondering how those poeople who are playing the beta's are finding the new victory condition (Ascension victory). Is it creating interesting game dynamics. I'm waiting until DA is finished before I start playing it and haven't checked it out myself. Hope everyone is well

Reply to Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I used the 0-year win strategy to get the 16 000 points or so that I needed to break into the top 25 and get my top 25 medal. I've noticed that one guy (centurion neilo) has used 0-year wins almost exclusively to break into the top-25 as well and get his 100 victory medal. I wonder if you could break into the top 25 by JUST playing 0-year victory games? Not very satisfying I'm sure but doable? Quick question. Does anyone know if the next victory medal after 100 wins is when you hit 20

Been playing gigantic maps at abundant everything lately in DA and have a new wish (especially since TA will have even bigger maps), although I think i remember reading someone else asking for this as well way back. - Would reeeealy love to be able to customize hotkeys and assign build orders on planets to them. Since I build mostly all stock markets, on captured planets, it gets to be a major pain scrolling down the improvements list and double clicking everytime I need to

Minor race colonized a planet in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Played a game the other day (DA 1.8g), and had a minor race (Scottlingas) colonize a planet on me. Didn't think minor races could colonize planets. This is the first time I've ever seen that. Anyone else ever have this happen? Just wondering.

Game crashes with DA 1.80g in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm having a strange issue with DA 1.80g. I've played a couple of games since i've updated it (from DA 1.5), and have noticed that my game crashes at two particular points. When I'm performing invasions and sometimes when I click on planets to get to the colony management screen. It doesn't crash every single time, just extremely often and more often during the invasion process than when I click on planets. I've actually gotten into the habit of quick saving the game every time before I invade

Downloading updates in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Forgive my ignorance but i'm new to GC2 and not the most knowledgeable when it comes to computers. I have a stardock account and was looking to update to the latest version of dark avatar. I press the update game button when the start up screen comes on and it sends me to stardock central. I thought that the game might update automatically but it just goes to stardock central and that's it. I don't know where to go next to continue the procedure. My current version is 1.5 btw.

- Being able to move the starbase upgrade window so that you can see the starbase to be upgraded as others have already stated. - Dont know if this is major or not but in the customize your civilization section under the abilities tab, it would be nice to add options to increase the miniaturization ability for civs and logistics as well, especially since certain civs already have racial bonuses in these areas. - I would also like to be able to play against more than 9 opponents. 12 as a minim
