Good morning. Aside from some quirky AI moves, such as building colony ships late in the game to stave off immediate invasion and building orbital command post with no stargate so it cannot build ships, it is ok

WTG, V. Great game report. Good morning Diplos. Crisp and chilly here today as well, DaMoose. Mornings are the best time of the day. I could sleep through the rest of it.

Good morning Diplos. Tonights the night. (or last night for others) when kiddies come around to rob you of all your health food. Be nice to them and don't scare them too much.

You can always try it an see. Make a copy of the old .sav game and load it up in the new version. If it works, great. If not, you still have your original game. Most will work, especially if in the same version series, e.g. 1.4.xxx. Transitions between major versions, such as 1.3 to 1.4 may work, especially the latter minor versions of 1.3 to early versions of 1.4.

No offense taken on my part. I once had a mentor tell me that after you reach the age of 50 you start to chill out and go with the flow. There are priorities that all must arrange in their life. I have mine and others have their own. Rarely will someone elses priority for how the world should opearate effect a change in my world. Thus, pertinant to the discussion in this thread, correctness of spelling as a priority in someone's worldview will not make me check my spelling more than I alrea

Don't tell Wheelofire about text messaging. He would never be able to understand it much less read more than one message before he writes a dissertation on errors in that one message. On the other hand, if he has kids, hopefully they don't have his OCD about correctness and are txtmsg to their hearts content.

Good morning Diplomats. Submitted a 69K game today under 1.41 the game ended with nary a wimper from the AI. Just all of a suddent the planets all flipped and game over. Seems like a bug to me, but I no longer believe that irrationalities in the game are bugs, but features put there to annoy the player.

Good night FC. Leave the AC on Good morning Diplomats. I must be doing something wrong that I did not use to do. I keep being attacked early before I have much even available.

For those that pre-order, you can download it when it is available. My understanding is that it should be available in November according to Brad's recent journal post.

AS I recall, there are two lines of research for Starbases. One for weapons and one for defense, just like for ships. After researching each level, you can add a module to the SB for defense or weapons. You really need to do both. In the end game, the maximum defense of a SB is insufficient to keep it alive against the top weapons.

I am not sure why people feel that a new player should have the same advantages as an older player, or should even catch up to the score of an older player. The Metaverse, in my opinion, is about two things. One, a record of your scores as an individual, and therefore each game should reflect the score from the game, i.e., raw score. Two, a team competition where each player contibutes to the overall score of the team. The team score can be arranged in any manor one wants, based on the raw s

In metaverse when u press ctrl n, u after go through the entire customise process, so may as well start new metaverse game, rather than using ctrl n. This is not true in 1.31. When you Ctrl-N you wait a while and get a new map and new positions. You don't have to type in anything else.
