Er, they are using a new scoring method and have updated everyones individual scores but not their overall scores. So until someone submits a game, their overall score will remain what it was before. As the new scoring method is giving out less then half the points then it was before, this is causing people who submit games to effectively drop in rank quite abit. This should only be a temporary issue.

Speed is totally neccesary in a gigantic, very nice in large and progressively less interesting as you get into smaller(or less abundant) maps. And its all about the early expansion, once the expansion is over, the speed bonus isnt that useful anymore.

wow, reduced a lot, even 1.035 scores were cut in half. I wonder why my tiny masochostic win was also cut in half, I thought difficulty was to be a bigger factor. 102 points for beating 5 incredable AI's on a tiny rare map, heh, some people have more points for losing games on a begginer level.

I will of course update my version as soon as I get home. Though I wonder if I should submit any game until after they update everyones overall score.

You still need a transport and the troops you have are still the biggest factor in determing success or failure.

Actually bombadier ships will probably make the AI tougher as currently one if its big problems is facing a human with a massively larger population. If it could just bomb that population into exctinction rather then trying to use its own pitiful population to capture mine, well, that doesnt work. Had a game where the AI had 10 times my fleet, declared war, took out lots of starbases of mine, took 2 systems but once starbases were gone and my fleet was

Hey CodeMonkey, why would u care if someone wanted to retroactively tailor their score? It has no effect on your scores. I thought you were all about making things nicer for the players, exactly how is this making this harder for anyone? So what, you dont care about the rankings anyway right? So why do you have such a strong opinion about it.

make sure u set ur government spending to 100% at the start of the game. You should do this regardless of what map/abudance u choose. Set up trade routes with the computers, this makes them happy Trade stuff with them, this makes you happy Most other suggestions would depend on settings.

Wow, you can take a totally valid reasoning on why removing scores should be allowed and twist it into a reason why it shouldnt be allowed. In discussion the fact that it was a choice to submit to begin with was one of the biggest reasons why being able to remove it was a good idea.

This would be very interesting though I worry about the seriel number being part of the saved game and what this means for possible pirating. You might look into how to make saved games safe to share.

I wouldnt think so, that does sound odd to have your diplomat insult the leader of a race you dont have contact with :)
