Hi i'm going to be joining the diplomats as soon as i post this, i'm XgEvangelist, or Julius if you prefer been playing galciv about 3 weeks, and i was a bit iffy about joining an empire mostly cause of the differn't philoshies and themes didn't match mine but i am glad to have stumbled on the diplomats cause i think i fit right in here, of the games i have started since getting it maybe 12?  i have only finished about 5, why cause i decided it would be more fun to start a new one! and i pretty much play whatever way i feel at the time, i care about points but only to the extent that i test improve myself using points to sort of say this is how far i've progressed so far in my playing ability compared to the other players, so i probably won't be helping you guys out too much but i somehow don't think that will be much of a problem.
btw forgive my ignorance but are we like good friends with the galactic guardians...i haven't read the whole threat but they seem to be the empire that posts most here besides us and it doesn't seem to...how shall i say antagonistic beyond simple camraderie?
oh and btw in case you haven't noticed yet from my name and possibly my profile from the diplomats forum i'm a huge xenogears and NGE fan for my fellow diplomats who are, and btw should i introduce myself there also?

Welcome XgEvangelist! The Diplomats Empire is a great group of people. I thought about joining them before I found the Guardians. And yes, you could say we're good friends.  If you've followed the 'Clone Wars' event, The Diplomats, Guardians, and Fellowship of the Ring (FOTR) are all allied.
| i'm a huge xenogears and NGE fan |
|
I am playing Xenosaga when I'm not playing galciv. Great game!
| |
|
Hello XgEvangelist.
Yes, we are good friends with the Galactic Guardian. We are in the same alliance in the Clone War
You could introduce yourself here, or in the inner sanctuary in the Senate Halls when you will have the proper authorizations.
Have you seen the various diplomats laws? There is one you need to remember: post only military or alliance victory. After all, we are diplomats , even if some time we need to use big guns diplomacy to bring peace

Welcome XGEvangelist!  Glad you want to join up. The whole point of this empire is to have fun! Just play the game for fun, and join in the conversation here or in the Diplomats forum. And feel free to introduce yourself in the Diplomat Forum. Welcome to the game!

Well that's good too know, i like the laid back atmosphere i've seen here thus far big change of pace from forums like...well i don't want to name any *cough*battle.net*cough* (to name one that is  well not so much the forums as the chat rooms i guess) although i don't really hang on any particular forum not since one called Xenogears Ground Zero shutdown damm shame  ( that was the last one that i thought the people were a cut above the rest in attitude.
| I am playing Xenosaga when I'm not playing galciv. Great game! |

Wow i used to play xenogears a lot even after beating it several times, shame on people for saying xenosaga is too long!
wow i think i'm talking too much

And this is the Minister of Chaos, a pure evil member who says that !!!!
In what world are we ?
| |
|
Don't worry about that. Only a few of us post over here, and it will be good to see another face around. The ones that post over in this forum is usually myself, AmulekBird, Minister of Chaos, Peace Phoenix, and then Spellforce drops by every now and then. Do you need any of the empire links or links to things like the statbots XGE? (Is it all right to abbreviate to that?)

Too long? Wow, I really didn't think so...then again I didn't think FFVII was long enough, so...
I have played Xeonsaga in a few days, but I'm about finished. I got through too quick, so I had to stop to level up.

Not really what i need though are tips for maso for when i begin my first game there i'm currently on bright and i'm doing okay, mostly tips for maso like what factors make or break you in one not really exact steps. and i don't mind if my nick is abreviated since it's really my own personal statement it doesn't offend me now taking my signature and twisting it in a mean spirited-way that does

well it does boast those historically long cut scenes and if you take them seriously it really is like 80+ hours, and it's volume 1 of several more which are really one game, since they save your end game stats it's really like one game. only problem i have with xenosaga though is apparently my favorite game xenogears is not what monolith soft wanted to make to begin with and it ended up as it did cause it was rushed so i'm afraid of the overwrites for it's story

Hmm. There used to be one on our site in the help and support section. Let me find a copy of it around here somewhere. It is a how to start walkthrough. Also, if you want to play culture conquest, you can, just turn off all victory conditions at the bottom when you start a game, and after you take over everyone culturally, it records as a military victory.
| |
|
Yeah, those cut scenes are looooooong
| |
|
Ha, found it. This is just a rough one, and you can substitute things in and out as you wish, but it will help you get started in every game.
1-Start with a good planet PQ19 or higher (PQ= Planet Quality), when you start the game you click in your homeworld planet and you will know what PQ has. (if the PQ is too low hit Ctrl-N until you get a good starting position).
2- Star with map size tiny or small.
3- Try to get a good position in the map, I prefer center or close to the center of the map that way your exploration vessel can reach each corner of the map.
4-Check all the victory conditions until you are familiar with the game.
5-Colonization Rush, set your taxes to 50%, research 0%, social production 0% and military production 100%, also set your expenses to 100%
6-Try to colonize as many system as you can, 3-7 will be good.
7-Send your exploration vessel to every corner of the map trying to make contact with each AI's race.
8-Change your military production to 0% and your research to 100%.
9-Research the basic techs that you will need to build your social-production-military structure, such as:
*Communication Theory
*Universal Translator
*Diplomacy
*Propulsion Theory
*Cold Fusion
*Medical Theory
*Basic Environment Control
*Zero Gravity Research
*Industrial Theory
*Interstellar refining
*Nano-metal composition
10-Set research to 0% and social production to 100%, and began to build the following structures:
-Soil enhancement
-Habitat Improvement
-Manufacturing Center
-Fusion Power Plant
-Banking Center
-Research Lab.
(Quick note, if your funds start getting real low, trade techs with the AI's, I prefer in the beginning to trade only with the Minor races, get as much money as you can in the largest period of time, such as 100bc per 50 months)
Another quick note:
Use the planet with the highest PQ after it has finish building the Fusion Power Plant to build on it all your Wonders and Capitals, so as first step build on it your Manufacturing Capital and then proceed after that to build Diplomatic Translators, Tri-Strontium Steel, Aphrodisiac and Frictionless Clothing.
After you have built the last Wonder, switch back the Social Production to 0% and Research to 100% and then research
*Trade
*Advanced Trade
Switch them back again and build Economic Capital and Galactic Stock Exchange (remember use your highest PQ planet for these constructions, 99% of the time is going to be your homeworld)
As soon as Galactic Stoc Exchange is built switch then again and research Interstellar Business and Cultural Trade.
Switch again and build Ultra Spices and Galactic Exhibition.
After these are built switch and research the following techs:
*Interstellar Marketing
*Interstellar Capitalism
*Xeno Propaganda
*Artificial Gravity
*Controlled Gravity
Switch again and build
-Restautant of Eternity
-Propaganda Machine
-Gravity Accelerators.

hmmmm makes me think of an early ps2 game by square, the bouncer may not have had the length but it was so short that it was mostly movie, at least to me
| Ha, found it. This is just a rough one, and you can substitute things in and out as you wish, but it will help you get started in every game. |

...and so on and so forth
thanks abettertomorrow

I could be wrong but ABT, you have shown the beginner faq and I was under the impression that XgEvangelist want tips for maso level.
By the way, XgEvangelist, have you look in the strategy forum of this site? There are some interesting thread about opening moves.

oh that's true i thought he meant start out on maso, i don't need beginner tips, and yes i've looked at the strategy forum but it's huge amount of info to sift through. the kind of tips i'm looking for so far that i've seen are like keep the maso ai's at war, controll the most powerful with trade etc.
btw when does the diplomats hazing begin?
