The score in the Empire summary is 257520,
on the Metaverse 303277.

I do not understand why they would not be the same.

In addition the Game count bar is off I submitted 114 games and should have more than 1 gold bar.

#527 by Diplomat Technician - 2/21/2004 9:09:15 AM

I will post a copy on the main page I do not no why the scores do not match.

Maybe they should change the price of Starbases,

1 1000
2 2000
3 3000
4 4000
etc...

but it would be nice if we all played with the same rules the Arceans in my last game must of had 200 starbases and a few terror stars.

Even with the existing formula they have to pay 50000 per starbase, they had no where near that much cash,

They drop starbases everywhere even in sectors I control a inhabit. Yet if I tried the same trick I get them telling me in a turn or two to remove my starbase from their sector.

With Cultral bombing and Alpha Strike maybe Stardock should just double the amount of resources that can be found and say if you want a starbase it has to be on a resource.

#531 by Citizen damoose - 2/21/2004 12:40:34 PM

Oh ya... That works.

Hey Boss you notice the 'The NewfyScotian' in the CSF empire stats.

You mean, that's NOT what Canadians look like?

j/k

I don't like this logistics thing. I don' know what it adds to the game, and it doesn't solve the problems there wer with starbases. Not sure I see the point of the change.

If Logistics are to be included, it seems to make more sense that the more starbases you have the more expensive it gets to maintain them, not buy them. That just doesn't make any sense. I'm not complaining, but personally I think I'm finding it easier to cultue bomb now... It certainly isn't any harder.

The real solution to this problem, and it's rather simple, is to have some sort of limit to the bonus you can get in each sector from starbases. As long as I can keep getting the bonuses, I can culture bomb regardless of maintenance or increasing costs. Keep in mind, when culture bombing you have no military to maintain so you're filthy rich.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

The score in the Empire summary is 257520,on the Metaverse 303277.

I think that is the same for everybody. One is your metaverse score, the other your profile score.

I agree though, I don't know why we use two different scores. Seems odd.

Hey Boss you notice the 'The NewfyScotian' in the CSF empire stats

I did notice him. I think he used to be in someone else's empire. I assumed he was Canadian and, like all our Canadian buddies out there, we'll welcome them back to the fold anytime they want to return to us.

#537 by Citizen Paguma - 2/21/2004 4:53:38 PM

Congratualations to The NewfyScotian, our newest Senator.

#538 by Citizen damoose - 2/22/2004 4:33:05 AM

Nice Pic you got damoose

Thanks. I was taking a break... catching some rays at work the other day. Spring has strated to peek out from the winter cold.

Hey Newf... Stop by and say hellow.

And congrats.

You should be talking... Being all black and bald like.

Yes... The logistics thinkg doesn't help the TSPP , alpha strike or not. Just take a little longer maybe before you can go on the rampage.

Culture should add, not multiply.

Logistics... either use a maintenance cost per SB which should get more expensive as you add mods, maybe even very per moduel added or price each mod separately. There is already provision to price the mods. After all the TS final costs 5000 bcs.

If those 2 things were done, that would go a long way to plugging the hole I think.

I wanted to submit another Maso but the game went from bad to worse to hopeless.

1) Started in the Middle of the Map so all the races can take pot shots at my systems.

2) For some reason my alignment never gone from neutral to good. Every event I picked good choices but I stayed neutral. All the Majors surrounding me were good so of course I got the we got to stop the Evil Humanity thing.

3) With bribes I was falling behind economically and with technology but I was able to get all the major to be friends.

The beginning of the End.

4) All my friends decided to take out my minor race neighbour.
So I parked combat transports near these planets. Well I could not let the majors have them they were already much too strong and the Minor was next to my systems,, I be open for a cultral attack.

5) When I got the planets I noticed the majors did not leave my space, And sure enough in two turns the Drengin attacked me. Never mind before the attack they were my friends.

This from the first day I bought the game thought as a bug, nations which have strong relations and are friend do not war with each other. What I think happens is the Major AI sends ships to the Minor System but the AI is not smart enough to see the system is owned by a friend.

6)Tried to ask for piece but I am playing as a pacifist and have no Military to speak off, My alignment was not good, and the Drengin had Avatar Tech and I only had Dreadnaught.

The dialog was something like "So our future Slaves have something to talk about".

7)Well I bribe the Strongest race the Torian and the next strongest to be my Ally. Sure the went to war to support me, but the problem was there was no support. Drengin wiped out my trade routes starbases etc...

You think like they give me ship, no this did not happen.
You think like since they were Allies they Trade and let me have Ranger or Avatar tech no...

At this point I am saying SEE THIS IS WHY IS HATE WAR !!

8) My great ally the Torians decided they wanted to be evil

So the went to war againest everybody, The morons lost all their military and my strongest Ally was useless.

The Drengins got them selves Allies which declared war on me and finally I have not defense, No ally and my economy was wrecked.

Well so ends a evenings work and so much for my last submition.

I lost

#543 by Diplomat Technician - 2/22/2004 9:32:05 AM

Anybody thinks they could of won the game.

I think,

1) I should never take a starting position in the Middle of a Galaxy.

2) When the game refuses to give me a good Alignment for picking good events, Experiance should of told me I am wasting my time..

Maybe I should of given the Drengin Empire one of those puzzle boxes which release the chains with the hook attachements

My condolences on your loss Technician and my respects that you can achieve Maso victories. I got destroyed playing at the normal difficulty level.

Needless to say I have to work on my strategies, but as I've only have the game for a week, I think I'm allowed a few embarissing losses.

#545 by Diplomat Technician - 2/22/2004 2:49:42 PM

Welcome aboard,

I am sure before you know it you be cranking out Masos with the rest of us. Check my record I only decided to crank up my level of play of few months ago.

The Strategies Forum and your fellow CTLC members are here and can give you pointers anytime.

Just wanted to let you know we'll be meeting up soon in the standings and wanted you to know we'll wave as we go by.

Cheers!
