Yeah, but the charities can't spend any of their money on battle fleets and infantry units, can they? :-p IIRC, the trade center gives a +15 bonus to lots of things - morale, research, production, economy, and probably a couple others I've forgotten. With no upkeep fee, either.
lol, Ray, you're starting to sound desperate :p Pirates are much better suited to run the Metaverse underworld than pure evil people. After all, we do evil things for profit. They do evil things for the sake of evil. Send one of them to assassinate someone, and they'll probably just nuke their whole planet "for a larf". :p [quote]I understand there is one listed on the Aussie Stock Exchange.[/quote] The Daily Planet, currently trading at A$0.97.

Nothing wrong with ripping off Seinfeld, but recent events fit in with "the search for Spock" so much I just had to choose that one :) Now I'm just waiting to see who adds the next chapter here...
Ah, the sleeping giant of poetry has risen. Nice one, Killa!
Well, if any gambling gets advertised here, it'd probably be my LuckyDuck on-line betting service. I'd consider working with your casino... for a fee, of course. :HOT:
I wouldn't mind if there was a small bonus with good choices or a small penalty for evil choices (e.g. letting your people get squashed by meteors could drop morale a tiny bit as well), but overall, I'm happy with the "good costs, evil pays" idea. Don't forget you get that kick-ass Trade Center if you take the good path. They might do something like have a small morale bonus based on alignment, empire-wide. The evil empires would have to build more morale buildings to keep people in line, and th
Yeah, but we do sometimes have a beer at the really, really formal occasions. Wine's something you might drink when you're sitting around with a couple mates :) [quote]“My name is Meningocotal”, she beamed gorgeously, “but you boys can call me Cotal.”[/quote] Hehe, she'll love that one! LOL Great, story, mate - you az da gift! [Message Edited]

Maybe he meant after the UP event that lets you give transports attack values (I think it can go up to 20).
Oh, I get it! You add them together, and you get 600. 600 in Roman numerals is DC. He's trying to tell us he's from Washington DC! Do I win a prize for figuring that out, or what? Maybe he's using all these fake names and crypto text cause he's at work and doesn't want to get caught bludging around on the job. You know how those politicians have to keep their noses clean. Maybe it's... Hello, Mister President! I hope you enjoy this game.
So, instead of our system where all scores are counted, you just count scores in each-weight group?That's an interesting idea, very interesting. Only thing I'm not sure about is how the groups get split up. The difference between maso and crippling is much bigger than the other level differences imo. I wouldn't mind a ladder for each level, actually - maybe it could read in scores from one level above and below, so each ladder actually has three levels of scores read in - but the above
Just one thought about the good/evil thing - I'd like a way to change your morality without having to get random events. Not instantly, of course, but slowly. And it shouldn't be as "helpful" as a normal good/evil event - i.e. the good penalty should be higher and the evil gain should be smaller, but eventually, it could get you to the morality you want. It's a policy thing, so it keeps going every turn until you change it. e.g. for the evil policy setting, you get a tiny bit of extra money per
Aw, I'm feeling so un-cultured right about now (:( ;)
Welcome aboard, matey! :CONGRAT:
The AI is cheating! It moves ships without clicking on them with the mouse :D
This massively plagiarized story is dedicated to all GalCiv players, crankers and masochists alike - I love yas all :) ROAD TRIP III: THE SEARCH FOR WOMBAT "USS Retox, Captain's personal log... With most of our flame-war damage repaired, we are almost home. Yet, I feel -- uneasy. And I wonder why. Perhaps it is the erratic behavior of Dr Killa... Or the emptiness of this vessel: most of our trainee crew have been reassigned; Wascally and my son Jaws are exploring some ne
Don't worry, guys. We're not in the Anzac empire any more, so you're allowed to mention things like wine. Just don't overdo it :)
That story sounds so pathetic, it's got to be true :notsure:
Aw, Cotal... you just got started writing those stories and you have to leave? Damn... well, you'd better have a book finished by the time you get back LOL
Only problem is I don't think they made any legit Fatso dolls for sale. The original's in the channel seven office building, if i remember right... So, who's up for a bit of piracy? :EVILGRIN: I really want an evil smiley... (:(
Become an Avatar, I'd guess :p
No, Threadzilla! Don't eat Evil Steve! All the drugs he's on will give you a sore tummy. You can squash him if you like. Hope it's not too bad, Pontius. :GETWELLSMILEY:
Having a beer in Sydney sounds good. We can buy some Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat dolls, and tell the strangers at the pub all the incredible things these baby wombats can do :-)
Congrats, vets! And good luck with your dates :)
Yeah, on a normal ladder, having beginners in the top 25 wouldn't happen, but the devs have said they want this ladder to represent a mix of dedication and skill. If they wanted the metaverse to measure pure skill, they might as well just take the highest score anyone's ever submitted. One maso game shows more skill than 1000 crippling games, right? If they wanted pure dedication, they could just get a stopwatch and time the numbers of hours people have spent playing GalCiv.<br
Jawsie - teach the little fella to surf, I bet no-one steals your waves! Killa, if you want to take a break from the game, that's cool - I've been neglecting my overlord duties myself lately. Just stick around the forums if you can, and feed the story with some more of your wit. :-)
