Hey! I swear it told me then name of my future wife! :) Very nice charts. :CONGRAT:

With all the threads out there this thread gets kind of lost. I didnt see it myself while looking for an empire, but great minds clearly think alike eradicus! :) [Message Edited]
I just like the ones that like me so much they want to snuggle! (Drengin?) :)
We seem to be on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment - jumping up a few places in the rankings and chasing 15th before slipping back to 20th. Its very competitive :) The new update apparently has a special mod directory so I thought I'd hold off until I install that before downloading from the mod library.
Well, in my latest game one of the minors had the strongest military in the galaxy and took down the Altarians who were previously threatening to take over. I only had to wait for them to destroy the majors starbases and jump in myself to take them over. Then I could just pump out the culture modules! :) I love the minors.
Some nice work here. I dont envy you having to do these calculations.
Perhaps we need some sort of permanent link in galciv for empire seekers to browse the pitch from the various empires? "Please describe your empire in 50 words or less" :)
Just noticed that you can sort individual's scores by average on the web. Has that always been there? :notsure:
The Pangaea cooperative is an up and coming empire that likes nothing more than to convince the alien races to spend time in our party palaces. If they still refuse then we "persuade" them via annihilation but we do so with a warm smile and while offering them a glass of something refreshing. You're welcome to join us. :CONGRAT:

Got around to finishing my game today and restored our 10k buffer over 19th spot. Just had the one survey ship zipping around the galaxy for the whole game. They are tough little ships. Even when my terror stars got zapped in the final battle, the survey ship fought back and survived! I've been looking at the mods recently but I'm very nervous about playing through a game only to find that somewhere I've triggered an anomalous score. However, the available PQ bonuses for example must gi
Special Forces - motto "every day a new logo" ? :)
UTS surely? United Terrans Ship! :)
But we have more fun than you can shake a stick man at in the Pangaea Cooperative ;)
[quote]Average per battle will never be an accurate measure since it is directly correlated with the size map played. If having a high average per game were the actual goal of an empire rather than total points. you'd see wholescale changes in playing style.[/quote] That might well be true, but potentially as a statistic showing the mean playing style of an empire I thought it would be interesting. However, I think the way the scores combine with the square root factor and blocking make
Sadly, that's my feeling too. BTW I love the picture in your profile :)
Hmm. I think that would require someone with access to the database of scores so they could do the calculation directly from the raw data. Downloading all those profiles and scores to do it by hand would be a nightmare! :(
[quote]HI! Kevin, LOVE your MUSIC! [/quote] Why thank you! Unfortunately I had to leave my piano and guitars on the other side of the Atlantic though (:(
Hmm, looks like my efforts at neatly formatting the table didn't pay off in the submitted font! :( However, here are the scores (of the British jury :)) per battle: 1 (12) Realms Beyond 4118 2 (15) Republic of Aldar 3679 3 (8) Special Forces 3678 4 (6) The ANZACs 3358 5 (1) The Jedi Republic 3167 6 (9) Evil Empire 3129 7 (2) Fellowship of the Ring 3073 8 (18) PanGaea C
I thought it might be interesting to look at the Top Empires by average score per overlord and also per battle. Average per Overlord - Official Ranking in parenthesis 1 (8) Special Forces 172877 2 (22) Fat Bastard 109834 3 (15) Republic of Aldar 88307 4 (9) Evil Empire 71658 5 (1) The Jedi Republic 53842 6 (18) PanGaea Cooperative 45242 7 (2) Fellowship of the Ring 40491
Hurray! We love you! :CONGRAT: [Message Edited]
On the subject of useless techs - I've always explored all the available stars before I get to Stellar Cartography! I can see how useful it would be if I could get it early enough - anyone managed it? I generally go for the influence techs as early as possible too.
I have a vague memory of seeing this bug listed elsewhere but as its fuzzy I'll risk repeating it... ...I made a fleet with an avatar and Terror Star but then found each ship was cycled through individually at move time. However, the Terror Star was now able to move at Avatar speed and went flying across the galaxy! :D
Well we've regained our spot in front of Arnor with our scores today. :HOT: I adopted a more militarstic approach at the end which I think boosted my score to a new personal record and gave me a certain cathartic release as I annihilated the opposition ;) Then again, mabe it was just the new scoring system :notsure: [Message Edited]
Hey! Great! Now the Cooperative even has an anthem! :HOT:
