Not enough beer in their diet. LOL Actually, I don't think they are a very close community empire like ours, ANZAKs or G.R.O.S.S. so I imagine there is no true spirit in being part of an empire. Go Beer!! :d
I'll be out of town for up to one week and won't be able to post, except today. Have fun playing!
There should also be 'Hall of Fame' -Longest #1 spot held. -First game ever played by version and by non gal civ staff -Most Planets ever conquered, with PQ over x -Highest PQ planet ever. -Most useful forum post-er -Largest Empire Ever.
Couple of quesitons: On average how many years does it take for you to get dreadnaught tech? How many years does it take to finish a game? I never kept track and I'm at work now, so I can't check this out. I know I know...I should be working...hmmm Well back to work then :notsure:
Great! Ellestar thank you. :)
Many posts by Staffa and RayChua on this subject. At this point here is what I will do: 1.) Your military rating must be higher. Check your graph, how far behind are you? -Make sure your taxes are below 50 percent. 49 tax with around 64 percent approval rate should do fine. -If you aren't far behind, put military building to as high as you can and start building Corvettes, until your graph is higher than others. If necessary put social building to 0 percent. They
Hey Bostonrpgmania, Welcome. Don't have kids, but at work 12 hours a day, so it definietly puts a dent in playtime...ahhh..well... Welcome to the White Council! and have fun!
I always lease wonders under Mitro. I never seem to be hurt by that, but leasing ships would be a bit out of the question. Although I've had to during emergency colony ship creations (cause a planet is worth more than a lease)
All right ANZACS, my prediction is you will take the Euros by next week, so make it happen! As far as the great wizards go (us) and "grand master 'RayChua' flash" goes, we will be floating in and out, but 'score isn't why we play'...of course it still feels good to be #3 in the world!! :D
Hey Sergey, when were you promoted...congratulations Commodore
I think you can rename it once you colonize the planet, but not 'when you colonize it'? Correct me if I'm wrong.
LDiCesare, good point, but I wonder how hard it would be for the AI to determine milking or not. Faster games should be rewarded larger points, but playing tactically and taking your time (which in many eyes is milking) should also get rewarded. My last game of gigantic on tough scored 5400 pts. I didn't intend on getting 4 trillion pop. and take this long. My goal with this game was become as evil as can possibly get and see if the fundamentalists show up (cause i've never seen them)
On Gigantic, can you imagine naming every one of your 200+ planets? I beleive you can rename your planets and the process should be kept this way. The planets get named whatever default setting it's at (which happens to by the system name). Most galcivers, I think, wouldn't want a feature where you would need to name all planets you colonize, especially those who prefer abundant/larger size maps. I imagine this would get rather boring after the first dozen planets. Plus it's easier t
Appologize if this is old information, but: Does the I League planet have any ships orbiting it? If it doesn't you can't attack it with fighter ships. However you can use your combat transport or transport to land troops on the planet to take it over. If you want to be honest and declare war on them. Go to a major civilization screen (talk to whoever, Torians for example) and give them 'Attack I-League', you can do so if the Torians aren't aligned with them. Note:
Scores played on version 1.044 or lower should be boosted, if scores on 1.05 are going to be greater. I have a feeling that once 1.05 hits the stage, veteran players like Staffa, RayChua, Sergey among the many other top 10s will be hurt by this scoring change, because of their older scores. Also, come to think of it. Staffa is correct, collecting Wonders should be a fun part of the game also population should be a fun part of the game, but not included in the scoring mechanism. If it is
Assumtions made from above stats: -To be a one man empire in the top 5 you will need at least 70000 points. So it is safe to say no one man empire will make it to top 5. -G.R.O.S.S, The White Council, Canadian, ANZAC, Midwestern will in the long term (2 weeks from now) be the dominant top 5 empires) -European Alliance does not have enough players in the top 50 to hold on. -Of the top 5 G.R.O.S.S. and Canadian Empire will probably dominate -Unfortunately European Al

No problem jus4golf, just keep playing those games. I will be playing non Gigantic games from now on. Just posted a 5000+ pointer, so it should keep us at 3rd or 2nd in Meta.
[quote]Sure can. How much sales experience do you have? Are you willing to put in 3 weeks of study to obtain your license? And are you willing to put in about 6 months of work in before you see dime #1 of profit come from your efforts? Lots of peeps get into this business right now thinking the bux will roll in fast. It just doesn't work that way. Takes about 6-12 months to build up a profitable business if you do everything right.[/quote] Hey Pontius, thanks for offer!! Sales...yikes..
Good point RayChua, Stacks would be really disadvantageous...although it would be nice to have a limited number of defense, like up to five ships can stack, with a minor bonus not considered a bug. You found that in the manual too...that' odd. :notsure:
Hey Raychua, I think I reported this a while back, I had a stack of Corvettes and was able to defend against dreadnaughts, as long as they were in a fleet. This was reported as a bug, but it would be interesting if there are merits when you fleet ships. I always found with 2-4 Dreads together, I tend to loose less ships when on the offensive.
Hey Michael tell us when you post the game. Maso on 1.40 I don't even want to deal with. Thanks!
Pontius...the secret head of a corporate empire...can I send you my resume :D
