Theres no way you can do that now besides tranpsorts or terror stars. There is a bombardment ship that will be available by the time then expansion comes out. ~SDC~

Reply to Metaverse scores in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yeah I was shocked to see the 38k score, when I submitted my 25k score I was thinking that 30k would be around the maximun anyone would be able to get for a score. ~SDC~

Reply to Metaverse scores in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am fine with moving back up to #2 though:) although I'm still confused the scoring formulas for me and Andrew Chai seem to be different then what it has been. ~SDC~

Well mine was won in 1.02, I haven't played 1.03 that much but it seems much harder to use the same strategies and win. ~SDC~

Reply to Metaverse scores in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In my game when I had the high population, I was playing a peaceful builder strategy while on the left side of the map. For mods I had all the mods on the library submitted around the week of 4/10 or so. A large part of my end population came from culturally assimilating the other races such as the Altarians and Torians who had several trillion people which was actually more then I had for a large period of time. ~SDC~

The metaverse total score also seems off for me and Andrew Chai. Both our scores are higher then they should be when you use the metaverse scoring formula. ~SDC~

I know I didn't cheat in mine besides downloading some mods from the library. ~SDC~

Metaverse scores in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Was there something done to the Metaverse scoring? I just noticed that several scores that had been submitted to the Metaverse vanished. My score of 25k and 2 other 35k+ scores have also disappeared. ~SDC~

To see what the symbols mean you can look at this page http://www.galciv.com/metaverse/legend.asp And I believe you can edit your account information at www.wincustomize.com ~SDC~

Reply to Quasi-Important Question in Mods Stardock Forums

From what I understand just editing the messages won't trigger any score blocking. ~SDC~

Reply to Is there a list of known, confirmed bugs and/or issues you're working on? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The problem about making every mass driver or other damaging attack work even if you don't succeed in taking over the planet is it could easily be abused. You could just simply load up a few transports with a hundred million people and wreck all the AIs systems. ~SDC~

Reply to Does the civilization capital do anything? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've seen the Drengin divide into 2 seperate civs. I believe this was a result of low morale and not them losing their capital though. ~SDC~

Reply to Exploring in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

At the beginning I'll send my scouts as far as they can go in several different directions. If I can get Eyes of the Universe the process will be even faster. ~SDC~

Reply to Good, Evil or Neutral? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I pick Good because I like having better relations with non-evil races. The only colonization events the evil choice temps me with are those nice PQ boosters:) ~SDC~

Reply to Difficulty Increases Score? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It does affect the score somewhat, but I'd recommend playing whatever is fun instead of whatever gives the most points. ~SDC~

Technician wrote: "1) The Top players exploit the game you can read how the blockcand planets with freighters etc.. I played the game long enough to know you can not win at a painfull level any other way." It is possible to win at higher levels without using tactics such as those. I personally have never used freighter blockades, blockades of planets with other ships, or massive amounts of starbases to win. And in my experience I don't think the tech victory is too eas

Reply to Dreadnaughts killing my Avatars? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Theres a battle simulator here http://www.galciv.com/metaverse/simulator.asp that you can use to simulate battle outcomes. As for a single dreadnaught taking out a starbase, it can happen and you need to watch that. Best thing to do would be to garrison ships there and wait until you get more defensive modules researched. ~SDC~

Reply to Dreadnaughts killing my Avatars? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The AI probably has a hit point bonus from the war party, tech bonuses, and probably a upgraded military resource starbase. If you want to see what stats they have you'll have to spend money on espionage. ~SDC~

It'll be good until the next UP vote comes along and resets your influence to 0. ~SDC~
