Reply to GalCiv priceless humor in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

LMAO thanks for the warning straywolf. I'd have done that too. I think my big one was What happened to these Battlehammers? I came up with a cool lil story consistent with the game and metaverse on it. I figured I had the version where they had been nerfed entirely. It ended up being a humorous and great thread. I figured I got a version they had been nerfed entirely in. Then at the end I figured out the tech for them hadn't been researched as it remained below the 8 or so that get p

Gerakken: Trying. HEHE. I must admit you were my evil inspiration. Being a citizen of the US, in the "real world of the 21st century" that would appeal to me. But only if we can retain our G.R.O.S.S. identity too. (It's derived from Calvin and Hobbes) And only if everyone else that wants throughout the world is let in too. Not right to exclude. That's unAmerican. In a game where the goal is to completely dominate things (via cultural assimilation, Military conquest, or o

LOL not evil enough? Anyone with the goal of taking over the galaxy is evil enough for us. Evil refers to the game strategy, not satan worship or anything (I couldn't handle that junk) In this game good is evil (playing like you're friends all the while culturally assimilating everyone and moving your dreadnoughts into position for attack) Neutrality is evil (secretly playing each of the other empires against one another while profiting off each) Evil is evil (ru

Vern what version you playing? Ive noticed it much easier to keep up morale on the latest vs what came earlier. I think there was a tweak in there somewhere. I used to have awful trouble with it when I went to the "higher forms of govt" Now not much at all. I for one would like to see them tweak it back so that govt choice becomes that (a choice) rather than hurrying through the progression.

Reply to Metaverse - a joke? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

#59 by Citizen Coffeedragon - 5/12/2003 5:03:11 AM OK, my last word on this (then I´ll stop to ride the dead horse ): The *VERY* best thing they could do is come up with something like the Elo rating in Chess. That´s the perfect system, from a Mathematical/Fairness viewpoint. This is what I would like to see (or at least an approximation). Yes, I know this is somewhat different, because Chess is not Single Player, but Elo works if you play against a computer also. Chessmaste

Update: Where we stand. We have proposed a merger with the Midwestern Empire. We are in negotiations now. Advantages would be obvious. We'd instantly be bigger and ranked higher (not that we couldn't do it on our own) Your emporer would like to Retain the G.R.O.S.S. identity within any new empire name. Furthermore, We believe it would be better to accomplish this by us absorbing them and Renaming Us, rather than vice versa as we are more numerous. Seve

This has confused me from time to time as well. But surely 40% of 10 is 4, so you'd expect to get 14 right? Yup but somehow mine doesn't ever seem change till it hits 20 although I haven't payed that close attention to it.

Perhaps they do, but we do seem to have an abundance here. I did notice your musing of joining forces. We would not want to alienate (no pun intended) our loyal Midwesterners. More importantly we need vast numbers and appeal to overwhelm the Euro's. We are a young Empire who hasn't realized our full potential yet. We will be in touch on this topic Nor would we wish to alienate our Loyal G.R.O.S.S. members. But we would of course recognize the contribution of Midwestern Americans (my fa

Reply to New GalCivver here in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

First off, Register with the metaverse. Then you must join the cooleste empire with a game theme name. Like G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) for example. Oh what a shameless plug!!! Then, download the latest version. It has tons of expanded features vs the original. Start with your settings on sub-normal for the aliens and go to it. Pick your party and bonuses then just have fun smashing and thrashing Torian Slugs. Go Cultural on their rumps or just out tech em. It's your ch

Bonku the % bonus is truncated or rounded I believe. Thus at 10, a 40% bonus (in total) is still 10. It did that to me the first turn too. Then once it got going, I actually saw the bonus. Either A: It's an early game bug only, that self corrects later or b: there's rounding or truncating going on.
