[quote]I think that the reason that they may be sitting there is because their weren't choosing a new homeworld, so they may have been trying to go home, but getting blocked because you now owned their stars. So I just now put code in the defect function to make sure that they will choose a new homeworld.[/quote] CariElf, I'm having this same problem in all of my games. Can you tell me how to fix this?
That's an interesting idea. I should try that on my next game.
By the way, I'm going to hang around the Challenging mode from now on ;p. See if I've gotten the hang of this a little bit more. I tried Maso once... I still hurt from the beating I took (:(. [Message Edited]
I was actually shooting for my first Tech Victory until I got my score - 4568. I guess the Tech Victories are on the low totem pole. I'm not sure if this is milking but I just had to see how the scores laid out. Here's the game: Normal Difficulty across the board Medium Map Pacifist +1 Speed +20 Dipolmacy +5 Planet Quality Military 11560 Alliance 9756 Cultural (don't know I turned it off, probably around 7000) Tech 4568 In playing
Nothing like a Military Victory to start a week huh ;).
Number 2 in the standings!!!! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
If you still had the code you could always try and sell it to a development company.
I would have to agree with you on that point vincible. I got a zoo escape and I wasted a lot of AMM's just to kill one of those slimy little worms. [Message Edited]
[quote]Anyone know the exact influence a starbase gives??[/quote] 343% with all available Influence mods added to a starbase. Currently I have 2 deck out starbases in each sector with a Terror Star floating around the map (this was also decked out with all Influence mods). I can "flip" all planets within two turns. I was bored waiting for my tech victory :)
I took out the Torians by military rush in my current game. I forgot to turn off the Cult rating and I didn't want them to hand themselves over to anyone else. I took their last three planets and that was that. I was kinda getting kinda curious when I didn't get a defeat/death screen, I thought that I may have missed one of their planets. Should you also get the defeat/death screen when you "flip" that last of their planets?
This might have been asked before, but do the majors ever have a defeat/death screen? I see the minors coming up all the time, but I was wondering if there was something for the majors. If there isn't do you know if this will be added in the future?
I would have to agree with you Space Wombat. I've slowly built myself up in each game. I'm now working on Challenging games. I must admit though that currently I'm pushing for a tech victory on normal. I feel like I'm in a time tunnel though, will this game ever end :)!
And by the way Pontius, I have every intention of moving you to second :HOT:
Finally pushed myself off of Normal and moved to Challenging. Scored an Influence victory (damn, I have to remember to turn that off next time).

I hope you like the view from the cheap seats cause that's where you'll be LOL
Alright!!! put away my first military victory :CONGRAT:
Two more victories and we are pass the Canadians... :CONGRAT: Heading to number 1 like a shot :) [Message Edited]
Alright... two victories in one day.
You are truly a GOD in my book now :CONGRAT:
[quote]But you should get bigger bonus points still for getting her into computer games as well.[/quote] That's part of the problem. I'm on my third game because of her love of The Sims. Good thing I'm building a second computer :HOT:.
I don't know about you guys, but I think they should add an option called "married". Concentrating on a game and having my wife hovering over me should add a bonus to my score LOL .
I have a lot of those games :). I still enjoy playing Pirates! in my spare time.
This might have been asked in an earlier thread, but I was wondering if anyone was going to update the back story/history of the game? I'm one of those players that likes history to a game (Blizzard comes to mind) :).
Doesn't espionage protect your empire from certain events also? Such as your diplomat killing or offending someone.
