Reply to Technician is a scam!!!!!!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There really is no reason to cheat. You can play smaller maps for less than the 60K limit and still go quite high in the metaverse if that's your goal. I have actually scored the max 60K less than 5 times but I made the top 10 in 6-7 months. After playing dozens of games, you can get quite good at the game. The time to play drops from making fewer mistakes plus the time savings from knowing all of the quick-keys and menus by heart. I use mods not to speed up the game or make it easier

Reply to Icho Tolot's Packs and PQ bonus in Mods Stardock Forums

Hmmm...AFAIK there is no time limit to the +40PQ trigger. This is the very first time that I ever heard anyone mention time limit with regard to empire-wide PQ bonus. There is an economic trigger that appears to go away after certain date (the limits have never been established but are fairly high). I might test your hypothesis this weekend, Icho, since I'm not submitting for score anymore anyway. ;)

You'll need to go to register player in the metaverse and convert them in order to get your older scores to show up. As to your shield being "easy", the anomalous score must affect the calculation of average difficulty. :notsure:

I really did not find corruption in other games to be fun. And afterall, the game should be fun to play and not tedious.

The leader concept does not appeal to me. This should be an optional component introduced as an expansion, if its added at all.

The Monstrous Mod is one of the few mods that I always have loaded. No feedback is usually good news when it comes to mods. Its been my observation that most feedback is usually when something goes wrong. ;) Thanks to you and turgotZ for your work. :CONGRAT: BTW turgotZ, if you read this, drop by Neotechgaming and say hi.:) [Message Edited]

Reply to Alternate rules = crash? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hmmm...I just checked to see if I could reproduce crash with latest version of AP and couldn't. My suggestion is to go to Stardock Central, click on "Free Stuff", and download "Smart Exception". Run Smart Exception before your run AP. If the game crashes again, SE will produce a report listing your system specs, OS, and drivers and the errors that occurred. Send the report to Stardock so they can figure exactly what's going on with your game. Normally, they would ask for a save game. Since you a

[quote]4. If I'm not attacked first, I find the weakest major or any minor and pounce on them with battle hammers after a 100% switch back to military yields me about 20 billion troops and 15 or so battle hammers.

I never take out the minors unless they are in jeopardy of falling to a major. The minors are more useful

Reply to Altarian Prophecy and Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think you'll need to contact Stardock by email for help if this doesn't work. Unfortunately, you'll probably need to wait til after the holidays for a response. And only the whole campaign score can be submitted.

Reply to Military Production in Strategies Stardock Forums

Unfortunately, every planet uses exactly same military production ratios based on the empire-wide slider settings. At worlds where you don't want to produce military ships, build constructors for building the first few "free" SBs. Trade, production, and defense starbase modules will all help your economy and ability to withstand attack.

Reply to AP prelude to war mission 1 help in Strategies Stardock Forums

First off, you are correct that diplomacy is a useless pick when at permanent war. Also trade picks are useless too when can't make trade routes. My picks are: Industrialist Party: +20 social production, +20 military production Weapons: +15 Defense: +20 Influence: +10 HP: +10 Soldiering: +20 Planet Quality: +5 My party choice was so I could build colony ships and soil enhancement, bank, etc faster. The military picks are necessary
