And for all of those post-teenagers, keep in mind that today is the best that you will *ever* look. (Except for women on the USA West Coast who just look younger the older they get). Yup, and Misty Hyman too. :) Actually I look much better without hair.
The Glorius End of several minor Civs courtesy of G.R.O.S.S. is at hand. Alexians, I-league went bye bye. now go go smash a couple Altarian starbases and demand a planet as the price of peace. Then, the rest of their lil ole empire will be culturally assimilated. It seems they like Kentucky Fried Drengin too. it goes well. should be submittable soon.
Gonna take this opportunity to advertise: Join the European Alliance, it has made the fastest climb in Metaverse history ______ Uh that would be wrong. Both Midwest and G.R.O.S.S. cracked the top 10 before their first week was up with no mergers (unlike the Europeans who merged existing empires) If that's how you measure growth speed then the new combined Aussie and Kiwi empire have you beat a mile. #7 in one hour. There are no residency requirements in G.R.O.S.S.
Oh and 1.02 was the puffy score version. I never got that one.
LMAO Gypsy. I'll scorch the place, have another transport waiting fly it to my new planet, load everyone I can on it, leaving virtually no one there. The AI then takes it back, meanwhile, I move all of em on to the next one. Another trick I pull is to choose the one that destroys improvements only (the tidal surge I think) take it, move everyone off, then watch the computer take it back only to have it revolt right back (free citizens) because all the morale and influence boosters an
(But if someone has too much time on his hands: play on Gigantic, entrench yourself, get in no one´s way, research up to tech victory. Boring, but that´s where the big pts are, by the incomprehensible Wisdom of Stardock Coffee: they are attempting to address that in 1.04. Get it as soon as it goes off beta. It will probably score you better. I agree. I could have had a couple thousand more points even on Gigantic. But I'm not willing to sit for an extra 6 or 7 hours, bored
Coffee: My tactics are working ok. I'm keeping the Torians at bay while I finsish off the small fry. I've successfully cornered them in about 1/3 of the Galaxy. They are isolated from everyone else. The other small fry are in small corners. The Drengin are going to give me the most trouble but shouldn't be too hard. They (Torians) will not attack me even though we are polar opposites in alignment and could kick my butt. They are too busy trying to take over minor civs (who would have tho
See Ellestar, you should have joined us. Look at our image baby and I quote. G.R.O.S.S.: Has all the young bloods who I would want on my side if we ever did meet up with slimy aliens OOOOOyeah baby. :)
Enslaving the Yor is more fun than making toasters. Make them work cleaning fishing nets until the groan of rust. Nothing sounds sweeter to my ears than a Yor slave rusted shut. Screeeeeeetch! (To simulate: take a fork and draw it slowly over a black board or a window glass.) Why? The Drengin work much harder and longer. And you don't have to make that dreaded lubricating paste for em. You just have to feed em some of that yummy Torian Sushi they love so much Efficiency is what
Actually gypsy, I was Challenged by the poster right above your original post this thread in fact that I was merely a Myopic Xenophobic evil overlord who couldn't see other strategies and that would be my undoing. I believe I told you I was going to prove him wrong first. I just had to prove that poster WRONG. Chaotic Good (OK I just had to kill those worms. My people deserve the best planet they can get) otherwise it would have been pure. Cultural victory. And just like I said before, Now
I am one of the people dragging the average age up!! Its pretty old at the other game forum I frequent as well (Hearts of Iron - brilliant if you like WW II strategy) but some of them - MOO 3 is one are just juvenile (MOO 3 - what were they thinking?) Well Moo3 is a project that went completely awry. The individuals and companies involved never appeared to be even on the same page. And 3 different bosses (Microprose, then Hasbro, then IG) was IMO definitely a contributing fa
LMAO G.R.O.S.S. ers. Too funny. Yo Mr. Wiggler: More than 2 shakes and you're doing something else we don't want to get into there buddy. Suggest you change that Sn. The manual does what its designers obviosly intended. It provides a basic overview of the game and gets you started. There are those who believe a manuel should tell you everything. Others, like me think the discovery is half the fun. I don't use, nor have I looked at a tech tree for example.
#3 by Citizen Kiwi Greg - 5/13/2003 7:48:45 AM What cracks me up is the poll which showed the average age of GalCiv players (at least of those who answered the poll) was 33. To be honest Greg (Well at least you have the right name) That would be in line with my expectations. Perhaps a little high but not much so. TBS players are generally older than your average gamers. The younger pups by and large are more into the RTS (diety combet) or firstperson shoot ems. Although I
Oh and of course newbie evil convert, if you truly wanted to prove your evilness, you'd join up and show us what you have. Or are you scared of our initiation ceremony? Perhaps you are not G.R.O.S.S. fiber??? Coffee: My game goes well, but those dreaded Torians seem to dominate every galaxy I get. Though this is the first time the Drengin have done anything. Though we are Demonic and the Torians Saintly, they won't attack us as they are addicted to our newly created Torian Cr
Emporer PontiusBruinPilot, After much talk and debate the MWC has decided to step out of merger talks. If the two largest trash talkers were to merge who would we have left to harass?? We do long to have the additional 23,000+ pts. that GROSS has added to our score, but we shall have to go about it the hard way. Winning our games and recruiting. Anyway it was a fun discussion and you didn't hear me say this but, Death to the Aliens and long live G.R.O.S.S. Now send us some recruits!! <
What a bunch of semi-evil amateurs. I'm so evil I'm gonna submit more games as evil than all you sorry bunch of losers put together. I peel the flesh of the Drengins and enslave the Torians again. Just because I can. The Yor are also useful as slaves as they will work till they fall apart from rust. Forget your oil bath, serfs! MOHAHAHAHA! Actually, Have you tried our Kentucky Fried Drengin? It's to die for. We also have some delicious Torian Sushie if that's your thing.
I knew about the scores travelling with me to a new empire but I never was going to join another one, just secretly cheer for it. Well welcome our new official G.R.O.S.S. cheerleader!!! Now go play for our enemies!!!! But I don't think it works that way. If individual scores are calculated first, then summed to get empire scores. The square root thing can kill your score, but it only means your score can't add more to empire score. It cannot through tons of games sma
sounds good enuff for me. Thanks folks. Its off to white cowboy hat land for my next game! Cheers. Oh no!! Cowboy hats on planets oh my!!! Reminds me of a game called Spaceward Ho!!.
#4 by Veteran Gerakken - 5/12/2003 1:22:57 PM The owner of a local computer/video games shop in my small town is going on over there this year, went last year, too. Long trip for him, about 1200 miles, but he really thinks it is worth it. As for the true, sinister purpose behind the poll? Simple, it is two fold. One, find out how many Galciv players are into the computer industry in some way (or cover it), and two, to let us all know that the big guys are all gone right now "
YOu need to build morale boosters on your planets (entertainment network) etc. Approval is tied to morale. As long as you're at a reasonable tax rate, Lowering taxes is only a temporary and indeed self-defeating solution since you won't have money and will go into debt (debt lowers morale hehe) Furthermore, your peeps will come to expect it, so lowering, then. raising them will lower morale more than if you'd just left them there to begin with. The ultimate source could be destabili
no. It came up fine for me. The complete site here was slow for a time earlier metaverse and all but either they fixed it or it self-corrected. When you click metaverse it should take youthere. Now to sign up there's a sign up thing to hit on the left I believe. that says top players, top empires create empires (sign up was there before I signed up I think but don't hold me to that) Late. Cant Member too well.
Jason. The only difference between real-time and turn based is no time elapses while you are taking your turn. Most real time games require you to jump back and forth between troop movement and production. All the while the computer (which clicks it's mouse at a rate of over a ghz on certain models is doing the same. With turn, you move on your turn, the computer moves in its. Also much more detail on TBS as to production. Some hints. Go to the strategy forums and read up. Als
G.R.O.S.S.: Has all the young bloods who I would want on my side if we ever did meet up with slimy aliens (rather than loving, caring, sharing aliens). LMAO well some would say we are long on Gonads and short on Brains. But we'll take your complement. We might even let you handle the whips in our Altarian slavepits in the Lava mines once in awhile. And of course we might even let you try some of our famous Kentucky Fried Drengin or Torian Sushi. Because well, we're just that nice.<b
#119 by Citizen Elrikk - 5/13/2003 12:42:57 AM Actually I was thinking of choosing one of your empires as my own personal one. But then I would join its main adversary and submit 50-60 losing games. Then I would just sit back smugly (until I get bounced out on my butt) knowing that my contribution to my true empire would never be truly appreciated by anyone but me. Elrikk LMAO true evil deviousness. Unfortunately, your scores all carry
*******some real world issues here******* Some general real world principles of our empire. 1. Our evilness refers to the Game strategy. It is encouraged but not required. We think All the three strategies (good evil neutral) are evil. Unlike these other doo gooder pablam pukers we admit it!!!! Our evilness doesn't extend beyond the game. That's all we are doing here. Playing a game. A fun one at that. So don't go thinkin we worship Satan or anything like that.<
