I started to read posts since I last posted but gave in and jumped to the end. :) I'm looking forward to a break from school and work coming up and getting back into the game. I still have to get the updates. >_<
Yeah, I've been starting games via the Meta button. I'll start another today. And a warm hello to you Mag!
I found the forum! I win many internets! Now I just need to convince the Meta to take my games. Well, back to the grind I guess. I'm on WoW holiday since I injured my hand, so I'm sticking to GCII since I can play one handed. Btw, having pr
[quote]But with AP, people can score 60K with an alliance victory, which is even quicker, so the Terror Star Alpha Strike has gone out of fashion.[/quote] I am probably one of the few who still do win that way.
There was an exploin where you put a few of them together in a fleet with each one have a +1 speed bonus and you could get them to move a helluva lot faster. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know if it works.
[quote]That would be a lot of money![/quote] It is. :)
[quote]I'm one game away from making Admiral [/quote] I see that you made it. Congrats!! :CONGRAT:
[quote]Had 61st birthday and this was one of my presents to myself. So, it does mean a lot to me.[/quote] Happy birthday to you! :CONGRAT: And it is great to see new players with such great intrest in the game. As tax rate, I try to keep mine where my moral is around 84-90%. I know I don't benefit from the 100% population growth, but I can do with out. Later in the game I do end up at 100%, but I usually don't adjust the tax rate much then eiher. For Honor and Just
[quote]provides, through these forums, a chance to connect with other people who enjoy the same things. [/quote] Probably my favorite thing about galciv. Without these forums, and the great community here, I never would have been playing as long as I have.
[quote]Kind of like being lost in a 70's disco[/quote] Gak!! The flashy lights and loud music!! :SURPRISED: LOL
I think you should be all set at the Embassy now. :)
I think you just need to click the 'watch' icon again.
I had to deal with OS/2 on my voicemail machines I serviced, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Reminded me too much of Geoworks or something like that. :VOMIT:
Nope, you maybe a member of any empire. The Diplomats are kind enough to host our Private forums at their site. I'll PM Vision of Tomorrow (one the admins) and see that it gets taken care of for you. Have fun picking you empire! I would suggest you read through some of the empires threads, but don't feel obligated to read EVERY posy. Our thread has 16300+ posts now.
Congrats on your victory! :CONGRAT: I've only seen the Fundies once, but I have heard many stories about them. A lot fo the players who play evil complain about them as some or all of thier planets get taken. I guess it's just a way to even up the bonuses you get while playing evil. Also, I see you joined at the Diplomats' Embassy. I hope to see you around there as well. :)
The influence gets recalced about 2 turn after you restart a game so you are usally safe until then.
I haven't forgotten about this, it's just harder than I thought to write down. I'll probably post i at the Embassy and here. I'll be sure to link to it there.
[quote]If they'd OPEN their eyes... they'd see that they arn't alone in the metaverse .. well maybe if they'd develope long range scanners they's see us... [/quote] Either that or stop looking at the scanner through the bottom of empty beer mugs. :CONGRAT:
Cool. Thanks. :)
At one time Jaws had 126 or 127. That was when he was on the top of the Meta.
It may be the Reserch Inc Party too. I was rather fond of that. I can't recall what it is at the moment.
[quote]I did.[/quote] Really, we shouldn't forget stuff like that. I have no idea what evidence Stardock beyond what the individuals told me. In mario's case he said what he did. Loth had nothing say, he just left. However, I still want to side with him. It should forever be a warning to all, don't cheat. It won't advance your Meta score.
[quote]I didn't want to re-open wounds.. and tried to stay away from it.. [/quote] I do too. Much respect to you. :)
[quote]you can have pq%+'s passed 30%... what triggered the cheat was that they changed the party back again.. (I've worked out the max your allowed.. others know it too i'm sure.. )[/quote] You can go to 40% actually. But I've read that you can surpass that as long as it comes from anomalies.
I have the New Diplomats Mod installed. I use it with a +20 Diplomatic, +20 Social, and +5% PQ bonus. Coupled with bonuses of the political party, when I colonize a PQ14, it automatically becomes a PQ15. Having that 10% bonus to play with at the beginning is nice.
