Hi everyone, I managed to get back home for a day. I will try to submit at least one game before I head back to work. My congratulations go out to COTAL for 1st and Fleet. Way to go. It is nice to see that we have some very active players in the top 25 positions. I am at 24, still on the first page. :D Cotal, how are you completing these gigantic / huge games in one night ? Are you doing a game in 2 - 3 hours ? Is it all diplo ? Do you keep the other AI

I just finished a game and got a ZERO score. That is the second time this has happened. The first time was when I first installed v1.10. Not that stardock ever commented on the ZERO score the first time. I have the saved endgame if you care to see it.

Hi Guys, I am back ... But I am leaving again for 2 weeks this time. I will try to get a game in today but no promises. I am working in an Automation company building huge robotic welding machines for automobile companies. Pretty cool stuff. It is nice to be working after 6 months of nothing even though I had a good layoff package. Have fun. Hope you have success finding one blue.

Hi guys, I was away for a couple of days ... packing. I just got a new job and I have to move. I start Monday. I do not have access to the net so you will not be seeing anything from me until the weekends. Cotal congrates on your 200K. Could you do me a favour? I am desperately trying to figure out how people get the high scores. Can you send me 3 or 4 game saves so that I can figure out what you are doing? (start of game, about 1/3 of game, 3/4 of game and the end game). freema

v1.10A.073 On the planet details screen there are some things that I would like to see fixed / changed. (1) Adding the social projects to the tech tree so you can click on them. (2) Word Wrapping is a problem for some. (3) Galactic Wonders, there is no description for these other than cost. Please add a small description to remind us of the enhancements. (4) When I take over a planet I usually go through and remove social projects that I do not want.

Guys, I am sorry but ... I am quiting the Metaverse. I am very unhappy with the new scoring system. I like strategy in my games and I find that using cheese to win is not strategy. I will stay in the Empire and I will play GC, but I do not think I will be posting a score for awhile. I like to play Normal, Tough or maybe even Challenging but nothing harder. After Challenging I find that the AI advantages reduce my play to cheese tactics just to win. That makes the game no

[quote]NewfyScotian,You mentioned problems with anomalous games before. Got a tip for you. Retire your games along the way and see if you get a zero score that indicates anomalous. If there is some score, your game should be alright.[/quote] Thanks Ray, the anomalous score happened only once to my very first game played on v1.1. I deleted all my old saves which I usually over write during a game. That or dumb luck fixed my problem. ;)

I have managed to work my way up to tenth on v1.05. I enjoy playing Normal. I try several strategies including some cheese and sometimes I win easy sometimes I win hard. I enjoy the game at this level. I have played crippling a few times and won more than I lost. I find that to win I have to use cheese. I have played MASO twice and lost. I think that I could win now with cheese but to me that is not much fun. I like to think that I am a very good strategy gamer but if I have to r

v1.10A.073 When you start up a game now on v1.10 you have an option for alien tech victory. After the game is running when you go the Main Menu you do not see how the Alien Tech Victory is progressing at the bottom middle of the screen.

v1.10A.073 I just finished a game Tiny/Rare with all AI set to Intelligent. The game points totaled 0 (zero). I know what you are thinking ... but at no time were the cheat codes ever enabled during this game. I never submitted this game but I do have it saved for your viewing pleasure. >:( I am reluctant to try another game. (:(

cultural conquest considered military conquest?
in Galactic Civilizations I

Some people turn off the culteral conquest winning condition from the game menu when you are starting a new game. This will prevent the culteral victory condition a year after you have achieved 90% of the map. You may still take over stars culterally but the win is considered a military victory because you have to beat all the major AI players in your game. Hope this helps. PS. you should download the latest version 1.10 which has some bug fixes and it also is a
