Thank you for all calming down, i really hate bad karma The Dark Lord Assassin: Yes, we have would accepted you. a. your last submitted score was very evil. b. your last submitted score was normal. c. you seem to submit at least once a week.

[quote]As for the Evil Ones, I do not see them as being primarily afraid of competition; their main complaint seems to be more of someone is "poaching" their empire concept and thus treading too close to their turf.[/quote] I didnt realise they had the copyright on evil. They accept both shades of evil, i dont. I was looking for medium skilled players and above, who were looking to work towards pushing an empire up the lists, whilst watching thier scores and skill grow along with that e

Nothing :) We are only pure evil, no other shades, you are not. We accept only normal or above, you do not. Nuff said :HOT: Lord Megatron : Your 'empire empire' was first yes but we are very different. We are not asking for ANY evil players, we asking for VERY evil players We only seek skilled players with a good score on normal level. We dont think your little post was funny. This will not be forgotten ... seriously ... so we shall start pos

Reply to Some Suggestions For An Even Better GalCiv ... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What you suggested was what the original Civ history kept a track of :) as regards importmant monuments / social achievments. As for those trade goods :notsure: if a minor race beat me to the production of one i only recently tried to obtain them from the race (usually a minor) well i trade for it and get it, and it never appears on my side of the trade window, ive checked my planets to see if can be built and its not there , i checked the details on my planets, its not on any of the

Some Suggestions For An Even Better GalCiv ... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Think someone suggested this somewhere but an offline in-game hi-score table just for single player so even if you dont submit scores you can still see a progression in your games, would be nice to add all the medals and whatnot that you get on-line too if possible. A history text file, anyone old enough to remember Civilization ? the very first one ? it created a text file of each years major events, from year zero to the final year / finish, that would be very useful , not only would

Reply to Difficulty too HIGH? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I had exactly the same problem, so i started from scratch to examine WHY these blighters were using me for target pratice LOL This for me works, You need to kick thier butt fairly early on, modify your game strategy to suit, if your going to go for military then get to battle cruisers as quick as you can and kick the crap out of the nearest, biggest, baddest AI, im only on normal level but im always getting threatened, those dam green ET's all the time ;) i then get the sectors with

[quote]>>Another thing im seeing is minors with colony ships that can jump 8+ squares at the very start of the game This begs the question that I've been meaning to ask: are the attributes of the other races randomly generated at the beginning of each game? If so, then perhaps your minor race had many of its attribute points allocated to the 'Range' attribute (just a guess).[/quote] Thats very intresting (and yes i have read the manual, honest) i thought range was the distance from the

There Appear To Be A Few Problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I tried to submit a score and it send that it was sent ok but it never appeared on my score sheet :notsure: Which brings me to question the logic of the metaverse score submissions, ok i dont want to upset anyone but im just using this as an example ok :D Hitler saw a weakness, exploited it and took over europe in a very short period of time, Napoleon did the same, and there are others like the Romans etc. My point is if the weakness is there you exploit it or get used

Only through GalCiv.com[/quote] Thats what you said about GalCiv, and i bought that from GAME, and with the amount of games released these days with original + expansion in the box it might be worth thinking about. Frogboy: When the expansion info was first put on the newspage it was said if enough intrest was generated etc, so then you replace the expansion cyberpoll with the stellar frontier an

So if theres not enough intrest you will cancel it for the general users? i can understand that, but ONLY allowing Drengin.net users to have the expansion sounds pretty poor to me, if thats the case you can forget the whole idea for a lot of users, i dont want all the other stuff that Drengin.net offers, and i dont see why i should subscribe to something i dont want for the sake of a expansion pack. Then what happens to the general users who dont have the expansion? discontinue support unless th
