bakka, I have heard that if you want to relocate to Australia, you have to have a sponsor (current resident). Not the case in the USA. However, the good ole' USA has certain restrictions on some ppl even getting in. But not going into that. :MAD:

I would try two things. (since you are only talking about 1 game) First, write down your Mpoints score of the missing game, then look for that single score on the rankings list. You might be able to find the oddity in the submission. IE: If you score of 13170 were by itself, it would be ranking #810 on page 33 (at the time of this post). failing that. Second, I would save the missing game, and play a quick tiny beginner easy game and see it that gets submitted correc

[quote]Surely another explaination is they built it, having full production putting themselves in debt 2757 bc. After all they were still under the 500bc limit.[/quote] at that point in the game, there is no way they would have the production capacity to build it by means of turns, even if they set the tax rate at zero. Please. :rollseyes: (grin) nice try.

sounds like a low memory problem. My rig only has 128 meg, and with winblows xp, the game runs jerky. More so on the larger galaxies. Do you have "background loading" on or off? (I have it off for faster loading). I also noticed Jerk-o-vision is A LOT more pronaounced if you have an alien ship selected instead of one of yours. Tho I don't understand why you would have to change the windows directory to windows2 :notsure:

From what I have found out, a shorter trade route with a minor, enhanced by a couple of trade starbases is much better than a long trade route witha major. Alien tech victory basicly closes the human tech victory option. (all other options still available)

[quote]I am also using about 500 BC per month on destabilisation,[/quote] Which I have found out to be a waste. Even if they get to 1 moral, they might join "I-League" per se. I have my doubts destablization works on the culture flip. I find the money better spent of constructors/ships and go the culture bomb route or massed assualt.

SIGH................. yes So what. What AI don't cheat. Shame tho, for the most part I have found the AI to be fair....until now. In what way you ask? AI: Achean Item: Diplomatic Translators Turn A: AI is 360 BC in the hole Turn B: They build the DT and go in the hole 2757 BC I don't have a problem with the AI rush buying items, but you do not have the option to rush buy when you have a negative balance (even -1BC). They clearly did. No

We are voting on the issue of fairness. The first place (insert name) Empire has been rumored to be extorting players from the other empires. Should the (insert name) Empire be required to give 3% of their game submission scores, to be divided equally amongst the other active empires? If passed, this will be in effect for three years.

[quote]Examples might be the arrival of gunpowder or the arrival of airpower in Rise of Nations (et al). [/quote] Have not played RoN, but if it is like the civ games, gunpowder gives musketeers......a bigger better pike/phalanx/ect.... new tech gets better units (et al). This is fairly standard in tbs games. Guess it's all one's POV. If one really wanted to change the genre, you would need more than adding a whatever to build better whatevers.

[quote]If the AI races manage to build a starbase or two before I can then I'm effectively blocked from building one.[/quote] I was under the impression that your bases had the space limit. IE: If the AI builds a SB, you can build one right newxt to it as long as it is 3 squares away from your closest one. I have not got the update yet, so this is an assumption.

[quote]Did they remove the non-military victory score nerfs?[/quote] It would be nice if all the other victory conditions were scoring viable. It's why ppl turn OFF everything. I feel that if the players are going to be inticed to play the game as intended, then the other victory conditions should given more weight. Sure, the metaverse is not the cake, but it IS the icing.

Is the forum on the new servers? It seems that accessing this site has become painfully slow. Might be because of all the ppl downloading the update, or indicative of another problem. But over the last two days is has been horrible getting in here. Yes, I am using dial-up connection, but I have been for some time. and comparativly, it's worse. Just FYI/friendly feed-back.

So destroying a bunch of ships gives you a good score, and keeping everyone warm or above for the majority of game don't.. go figure.
