I guess you're both right. I just checked the players metaverse page, and indeed we are all within a 1000 points in page 16. By the way terl, you're number one in page 16. Congrats ;) . I guess it's always nice to be on the top, even if it is page 16... By the way, since I'm exactly 20 (or so) places behind you, I guess I'm in the top 25 for page 16! Maybe I deserve that chocolate-like medal of former top 25 ;p i just read Cari's post from 2 days ago more carefully, so I thin

Hello everyone. I'm looking forward to get home tonight, and hopefully find the new update for AP, so I can start that gig game I've been talking about. And when I saw Greldon's last post, I thought that well, I'll even contribute, a little considering my scores, to the objective he pointed. And then, just to check what was my last score, I had a look at my profile, and there is something strange in there: I'm pretty certain that last week I was something like 427th in metaverse. How com

I'd like to have something to say in order to cheer you up, but I saw some parts of it on TV too, so I guess I am wordless. As for the political machine, I'm quite curius about it. The game looks quite ambitious, and it was one of the reasons why I got Drengin.net in the first place. I've been going through its forum. Lots of debate there, but I am a bit reluctant to post in it since it seems controversial political topics seem to heat up very fast. And all political topics are controv

Thks for the tip Ricbayer. Maybe I'll go with rare. But first I have to let my eyes rest: after 8 hours staring at the computer screen at work, my eyes need a break. Something like taking them out and putting them in a glass of cold water. Right now even the brightness of the screen blinds me. Best hopes for you all, still at work. It should soon be over :) ~SDC~

Reply to New Metaverse Medals in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Like some others I have some undeserved medals: top 25 and maybe even the 10 victory one. I do have 10 victories, but only 7 of them are higher than 3000. For the top 25, I don't think I was ever there, even thought even though I 've had the game since it's release day (but I don't think my first submitted game, score 18 I think) would have put me anywhere in the top 25, even in the old scoring system. Well, anyway, it's nice to have them for a while, so I know what it will loo

I've just checked, they appeared in all my posts, everywhere! I think the 10 game winner with a score of 3000 shouldn't be there either. (unless it means 10 game winner, metaverse score > 3000). I only have 7 victories with a score higher than 3000. But I

[quote]Nastavnik: For a first-time Gigantic map, I'd certainly go something less than common, say Uncommon or Occasional. Rare might make the game a little slow, but if you go Common or above, the AI will out-colonize you and you might find the game really hard! By the way, that was a really interesting story about the Siberian town. I can't imagine a house trapped in ice[/quote] Thks for the piece of advice Theoden. I think I'll go with uncommon (my usual setting in all map sizes).
