So if many members submitted games in the last, say, 10 days, that might explain some of the decrease, no? ~SDC~ [Message Edited]

Greldon, Amulekbird has posted this in another thread: "The actual way your score is calculated is the total score earned per month divided by the number of games per month. You have played six games and have scored 15,562 pts. 15,562/sqrt(6)=6,353. That is why your score is what it is. Each month, for six months, the score for the previous month degrades by 5%, so on Feb. 25 for you, this months score will go down by 5%, but then your new games will be added to your s

Reply to economy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have the same thing when I've overdevelopped my research capabilities. If I put spending to 100%, all to research, I can have huge deficits. It's all a matter of money versus production capacity. You can have 100% spending and 100% military or social and still have some money left every turn. it means that you earn monthly more than what your overall production capacity can spend. However if you have huge research capacities (tech, capital, omera research, with research center everywhere) then

Hello Glenn which version are you playing? If it is 1.13, does the lockup occur when voting the tech sharing resolution? If soi it is a known bug in that version and there are corrected data files avilable for download. You might want to check out the "tech sharing UP issues" thread. In there there are links to download the files. It's an old thread, a sticky one. However when I log in from SDC, I cannot see it anymore (it seems sticky threads are no longer sticky with SDC) so you may h

Reply to Good/Evil Tech tradable with those of opposing alignments in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think it's a bit harsh to say it's "stupid". It's actually quite justifiable. A given good civ does not have the "ability" or "capability" to develop/research an evil tech (let's imagine because developping it would require some "inhumane" proceedings, that are illegal in that good society). So that civ cannot develop it. But what prevents it from acquiring it from some other civ that has developped it? I can assure you that there will be some people within that good civ to say that a tech/kno

My understanding is when you invade a planet, you kill everyone anyway. And you lose some of your population in the process. So actually, Terror stars do save lives of people.

[quote]Honestly, I haven't won a Medium/Maso game. I usually get clobbered pretty quickly. As far as the scoring, I don't think it could score very much higher than a Small map, because of the limitation of the map. Less population, less ability to create a large military, generally smaller number of minors and more difficulty in getting Trade Goods/Wonders.[/quote] Yeah that's what I thought, but it does not seem very fair. However I had the impression that scores are higher with

Reply to The Fellowship Halls (Fellowship of the Ring Empire Thread) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]I think that is true for most difficulties. Sirian pointed out in another thread that Medium is less forgiving of mistakes. I find that to be quite accurate at most difficulties (I've played). Tiny/Small doesn't give the AI enough of an edge, while on Large/Huge/Gig you have more time before you see the enemy and therefore more time to expand and consolidate. On medium they both out-colonize you unless you get lucky and are in your face quickly... Yupp, I still haven't submitted a loss, m

One game related question, for those of you maso players (I mean who play maso ;) ). In the thread about scoring and military vics LdiCesare wrote: "And that still doesn't address the fact that Medium [maso] games are harder than both tiny and gigantic ones." What would you think about that? Since I have no experience with those, I can only guess that it is true, since in medium you're much closer to the AI's planets than in a maso with a nice isolated starting point. Th

This afternoon however temperatures have dropped severely, but it's still fine (between 0 and -5° C ). It's just this damned wind that make things feel worse than they are ...
