Aldar, the last game you submitted, accoring to your profile, was on 8/13 and it has 50K+ points. If your current game is zero, it was not accepted by the metavers. Try replaying the last turn and resubmit.

[quote]by Veteran Aldar - 9/3/2004 1:08:39 PM Help![/quote] Aldar, Load up the endsavegame and go to stats. Look for the Planet Quality metric in the upper left had group of metrics and see if the value for that metric is over 40%. If it is, than you have an anomolus score and will get zero points. If it is not, then send CariElf the endsavegame and ask her to help you find out why if submitted as zero points.

Reply to Explanations about some metaverse behaviors in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]You can go to 40% actually. But I've read that you can surpass that as long as it comes from anomalies.[/quote] No, no, no. The PQ limit is in the Stats area call Planet Quality. This is the element that must remain below 40%. Any anomoly or improvment, etc. can build up the Planet Quality metric. Mods can build it up faster. I have played with mods that have pushed it up to 35% with individual planet PQ up to 120.

Nothing is stopping you from fighting your way to the top. Enough people quite playing and most are static scores at this point. Your way up is limited to chasing fire hydrants and they don't move very fast. You don't even have to play masso games to get there as GH, Newfy, and others will tell you. In fact recently, some peopl

It is not an even playing field by resetting to zero. What will happen is fewer will play. If that is the objective, then be honest about it. Why n

Reply to Population in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]Planet Quality does not affect the population cap. Poplulation on a planet is affected by morale. It may not be possible to get to the pop cap because the morale is low.[/quote] Yes, but morale is affected by PQ, I think. That is everytime in the start up game period, when I increase the planet PQ by soil enrichment, etc., the morality goes form 50-70 up to 100.

[quote]Is this the same for all planets (some of them are smaller and some of them are bigger)?[/quote] Same for all - some of course may never get their because they don't have a big enough PQ, etc., but the max is the same for all - physical size is a visulization only issue as far as I can tell.

Icho dropped 10K points, but Major Dallas did not, hence MD rose in the ranksings without submitting a game since 16 June. Theoden has seen a drop, Naqmire recently droped about 10K. So, as usual, some see it and some don't.

Reply to Open Letters to Stardock - Please fix the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think the discussion so far has generally been positive. Good points being made by experienced players from their point of view and how they would like to see the game played. Of course, everyone plays the game differently, as is true with almost all games. Sometimes they are played in ways not foreseen by the maker/designer of the game. This is not a weakness, but a relfection of the creativity of the players as a whole as insights are shared on what works well and what doesn't. Without

Dear Stardock (Frogboy, CariElf, others), I have been collecting ideas and suggestions on how to improve the Metaverse. You have probably seen some of the dissatisfaction with the current Metaverse in various postings from newbys to oldies. We hereby implore you to ask for and take into consideration ideas that many will put forth as ways to make it better, to bring greater satisfaction to both those just starting out and those who have played for over a year and would like to continue, bu
