Playing through a Gigantic Universe, I got 3 rangers after 20 turns into the game. But thats maybe because I got the luck bonus ability and the luck bonus from the universalist. Rangers in the Gigantic universe are only good for protecting my main planets since they are slow as hell. The game would be almost over before I can send a Ranger to the other side of the map.
AI is not cheating... U just suck. j/k... I get owned myself.. Think i overated my skills, had to dumb down the AI alot more and played at normal. I'm doing pretty good, might need to go one level up. Try to start at a lower level and move up gradually
What you consider ugly, others may say beautiful. All in perspective.. All in perspective
There's $50 I'm gonna save. Not gonna buy any game that has Starforce in it. I HATE STARFORCE. But what can you expect from a Russian company. They couldn't build subs that don't sink, they can't build planes that can't fly right and they can't write software. Sure, they created the AK assault rifle, great work there btw, but its because its a simple machine. Anything more complicated than basic math and they mess it up.
Currently, I enjoy playing on a huge map with rare settings on all habitable planets, suns, and anomolies. It makes for a fun game where every trade and every planet counts. Now, what I want to do is limit the technology available. No huge hulls and weapons only to the beginning of the tech tree. I also want to get rid of some of the social tech. What I want is a grand'ol dirty war with everyone pretty much equal in technology early on
I've been posting on the subject of orbital bombardment. I would much rather attack a planet and bombard the hell out of it till all the population is wiped out, then re-colonize it. Sure, its fun to just invade with Billions of troops ( pretty big transport to fit 1 billion troops in it) and take over the planet. ( We should have done this in Iraq, send the equal amount of troops to match their population, then we wouldn't have to worry abo

Run some anti-spyware just to be on the safe side. Also, get more RAM. I'm running perfectly good with 1GB of RAM. I do notice that it lags after 4 hours of gaming. But a good reboot fixes it.
The Universe, as we like to call it, is actually flat and 2 dimensional fooling us to think its 3D. Take for example a 3D game. It seems 3D, but is it??? No. It is 2 dimensional deep in the core. Also, our life is just a simulation. A pretty good simulation, but still, only a sophisticated sim. You can test this theory. Blink... Look Aroud.. Blink.. Look somewhere else.. Blink. You, my friend has just pressed the Turn Button 3 times.
Seriously folks, if this game is potrayed even close to reality, even the Gigantic map is merely just an arm of the Galaxy. There's more out there, so havine to go from one edge and end up at the other end wouldn't really work. If you play the biggest map with tight cluster, you'll notice that some of the stars are just part of a much larger arm. I see pretty much that at most, the playing field is only 15% of the galaxy. Wonder what's

You know I was thinking. Any chance you could fix that? I mean come on if the computer sees you doing something to win it should counter it by any means necessary. Don't you understand why Frogboy/Draginol called it a single player advantage and not a disadvantage??? If the AI wanted to just trump
It'll be out when its out. Till then, go back to playing.
thanks for theinfo
Awww.. Dangit, my first Metaverse game and I got stuck with having to fight two of the most powerful civs, The Yor and Arcaen. I didn't want them to have the satisfaction of destroying me, so I surrendered to the Dregin, HA! It was going good all along. Even had good standing with the Arcaen and Yor, but some idiot in my empire killed their leader and in one turn, I was on the crap list.
how can you tell your alignment?
Just buy the game from stardock. You can then wait for the box while playing the game that you DL.
All the stories has been interesting so far. C'mon all, lets get this rolling.
If your lucky enough to have an Xbox 360 and your computer isn't that high end, I recommend getting the 360 version since it will be alot cheaper to get the console and game that upgrading your computer.
Only thing you can do is wait till Stardock releases a stand-alone patch. They usually do a few hours to a few days after they release it on Central.
bumping this baby... Any new takes on this?
I call them the Ar-seens. Wonder what the Stardock guys call them.. Frogboy, anyone?

Or you can just declare martial law and change government back to the one where you start with.. Not sure if this is possible, but it should be. Sometimes democracy sucks. Especially when The People say no to unprovoke genocide.
