Not bad for playing about 30 minutes a day.

But the Cap'n has had months to perfect it. Since last September. Record is 25 mins, held by Amulek.

Oh, and I forgot to add to the pile. Congrats Cap'n.

I mistyped. It's about an hour and 30 a day that I play, About an hour of it is on my lunch break. Wife an Kid don't allow much time for playing at home. This is not counting the weekends where I spend less time playing about 1/2 hour if I'm lucky.
I usually average about a little over 1 game a day or so counting weekends.

I can finish a game in 30 minutes if all goes right.

But average I'd say is a bit under an hour.

I'll post a walkthrough if you want. But here's some tips.

Use your guvs.
Disable your popups. yes you won't know every time something happens but you really don't need em after awhile. A war declaration will still pop up as will random events.
Don't worry about early wonders
Develop your econ first
Get Drones early. It's Catnip. They'll offer you battleship or dread tech for it most readily (wait till they offer.)
Go heavy tech, this gets you a lead by the time you get to terracomputers and usually gets you enough to end the game right after Ultra computers through gifts.

Go for all the diplo boosts you can. Populists +60 diplo.

Most of the time I spend is spent early getting the aliens to warm and my tech tree through what I need.

Also send one freighter in order near to far of each alien. They'll be 2 or 3 you can't get but so what, you don't need trade to get close.

I've only done the speed technique when they put the 60k cap on. Before that, I used the Bomber technique like Staffa.

Actually the record for finishing any game is 16 minutes, 21 seconds held by EB Zero Matrix.
My Quickest is 20 minutes. and change. I got the fundie event and it took everyone out but me

Sorry, I meant a 60K game record. I have heard of the exploits of EBZero and the GCCG I experiment.

And another bites the dust. But you at least left the empire. I plan to do that when I leave, just so you get a true empire score of the actives, not the inactives. Hence the AltMeta.

Edit: If I ever leave.

The Renegade ship has stopped its race to repair his fleet after the suddenly desertion of one of its best Admirals, many systems have gone independent and now is the best time to rebuild the Armada.

Two previous squirmishes with the Guardians have raised the safety code to its highest level. Red Code against any and all the Guardians. Death to the stinky Guardians!!!!

No peace for any of those animals wherever they are!!!!

Search and destroy it is the call to all the ships!!!

One goal now and forever destroy the Guardians wherever they hide!!!

      
#2339  by Veteran Disciple777 - 5/4/2004 8:26:38 AM

The Renegade has signed a pact with the Yor Empire, for now on I shall be known as the Lord of the Yors.

      
#2340  by Veteran Disciple777 - 5/4/2004 8:43:45 AM

The first blood has been shed and the Guardians are running for cover after the first attacks from the new Alliance between Lord of the Yors and the Yor Empire. All the planets that used to belong to Terl the scribe have been taken and transfered to the Yor Empire, as payment for this alliance 85% of them have been given to The GROSS Empire as a gesture of good will.

      
#2341  by Veteran Disciple777 - 5/4/2004 9:09:48 AM

For the time of this war I have decided to create the Glatic Yors Empire, when the war is over I shall return to the GROSS empire.

      
#2342  by Veteran Disciple777 - 5/4/2004 11:24:30 AM

That battle was quick. I didn't want to say what I wanted to say under the flag of the GROSS empire, what I said I did under my own flag, that way no other pirate was involved in this squabble. Now that my poin was taken I am back home.
