[quote]If that's my one, it has just been updated - it appears that scores only age up to 6 months. (I was wondering why my scores were wrong! )Updated sheet is at Link[/quote] Primipilus Alexus, I tried using your new calculator at the link, but it doesn't assign "block" correctly after the first score addition. All subsequent scores get a block# of zero and so are not calculated into the metaverse score. I'll try the older version of this sheet that Spellforce sent me and see if i

Very nice site Spellforce! I especially like "the two sides of diplomacy!" ;) My how we have grown in a few days. From an idea in the head of our emperor now to a full-strength senate and 14th place! :D

[quote]If a game is going in a different direction, and a culture victory would be easier (being a newb, I'm not yet very good at turning things around) is there a way I can post those scores to a different alias?[/quote] The way I have addressed this temptation for myself is by only checking the box next to "Alliance" victory, so that only Alliance and Military Conquest is permitted. Then I no longer feel drawn to these "other pleasures". ;)

Welcome fellow senators! (and Prime Minister, I received the email.)

But in retrospect, doves typically imply pacifism, and I would argue that the Diplomats are not necessarily pacifists. (In fact, it is hard to carry out certain kinds of diplomacy if everyone would know you are a pacifist.) ~SDC~

[quote]for the new website section "The Senate" the form being used there requires the connection to your email addresses. these will remain annonymous. Is it alright to include yours. All votes requiring the senates approval will then be emailed straight to you for your approval/rejection here.[/quote] aye. ~SDC~

My beef with this is that I think alien cultures would be amoral by our standards as I am doubtful that given a different evolutionary path, a culture would develop the same concepts. ~SDC~

Reply to Crash to the Desktop in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The crash that I really hate is when GalCiv crashes the driver for my graphics adapter, locking me into VGA mode, and then there is nothing to be done about it except reboot. You haven't seen ugly until you see Windows XP running in VGA mode... :notsure: ~SDC~

[quote][quote] is it only the males that talk? I think ours is a girl budgie [/quote] The males are generally better talkers - you can check the sex by looking at the nose - generally females have a brown nose, males a blue one....[/quote] The best talkers are of course African Grey Parrots. I had an AGP that could say all sorts of stuff and rarely had to be taught explicitly. But he liked the nanny better than me :sniff!: so, she ended up inheriting him when she l
