You shouldn't feel bad about dropping behind the AI in the beginning you can catch up later. Depending on your starting picks (if you have + diplomacy) you can start the AI's of to war against each other. This will help keep your relations with them good and they will direct their trade towards you instead to each other.
I do actually think moral has a direct effect on tax income. I believe this can be seen by rasing the tax level at some point you will see your tax income decreasing (eventhough you are raising your taxes)
Just noticed Arkdoz made it to the top 25 congrats :CONGRAT:
David, I'm not sure if understand the aboe calculations correctly, but... Trade income for each route varies depending on which turn of the 756 the freighter has reached (this can be seen by checking the trade tab on the domestic screen). As i understand how this works the income rises towards the end (should be highest on the 756th turn). This would be when it reaches its starting point again. Therefore if you place those trade SB's just before it reaches the
Just dropping by to congratulate both the Jedis and EUROs and the peace treaty. I hope this will mean along lasting relation ship between our Empires. :CONGRAT:
Report from RL-game (codename Work): Well i'm going for a tech. victory (implementation of ERP-system), but i will probably need to Ally with the other goody-two-shoes Altarians (our US-office) since the are the ones who are supposed to gain the advantages of Beyond Human (ERP). The pressure has been on i have gotten better relations with the Drenging and Yor :CONGRAT: , but there are reports that my allies the I-legaue (also known as consultants) are conduction sabotage and th
I've been going into silent mode and i'm afraid its going to stay that way for another week or so. In my latest real-life game (work) i have run into a run away Drengin and Yor (both Demonic) and with little me being all goody-two-shoes i have to up hours spent on work to keep diplomatic relations above "cool".
Damn... its going to be some project to get enough water to mars to make actual oceans and then heat it :D Just a dumb question...there isn't any water on Mars, right ?
Icho Tolot, patience now our emperor is wise and does not make hasty decisions (but i think that the result is going to be peacefull). I just managed to submit another game which brought me to 4th place, just ahead of richbayer, but i fear he has got games lying on the shelt ready to submit (:(
Or if the minors are the most powerfull ones, you could lead those spacesharks to them
This doesn't mean you are doing something wrong. Its just how many bc's you used on rush buying (and treaties ?). Does this have any influence in your metaverse score...hm lots of theories, but i don't think anybody has done any real testing on this.
I have played a few games and had about 10 ctd's (which in my book is no biggy), but i don't have the multimedia part installed....that might be part of the reason.
[quote]I'm afraid that the only way to stop her is for her to resign from an Empire and go independent. (This is not really stopping her but rather taking her out of the race)[/quote] I believe she has found her "home" and will stay there. and honestly i couldn't imagine this place without her...
If you could somehow turn her addiction off (the rest of us can still be addicted..of course) that would be great LOL
It sounds like more than it is agreed, but the AI has (on some accounts) been "learned" to act on the human players "aggressions". When you up the difficulty the AI will actually get smarter and does extra actions has been added thru comments from players on these forums. Happy gaming
http://www.stardock.com/products/machine/ on this page is a message board. To my knowledge that is all...but it is hardly an active forum.
I haven't found any in-game features allowing you to get this information easy, but on this http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/ site, it is pretty easy to find the information. I hope it is usefull
Well...i had hoped to be able to play less...yeah that was actually my plan, but i have found that is not that easy. I'm to hooked, anyways i'm currently playing gigantic to be able to use other victory conditions than conquest (without hurting my score to much) and this has renewed my interest in the game. Hope everybody is doing well
That sounds like a splendid idea

Happy new year to the undead
Happy new year everybody :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
1) Research: As you up the level the AI will be researching fast so beating it will be hard. I choose the tech i need to achive what vicotry i'm going for (Conquest, Cultural) and then start spending my ressources elsewhere. I other words no 2) You can choose +speed as a starting pick which will give you an advantage to the AI. Furthermore it is possible to see the AI cultural influence in a sector (without exploring it) and thereby figuring out where to rush to. Yes this is a crusial
