I'm toying with the AP campaign again. At "maso", the first two scenarios aren't too bad but 3 is unbelievable. The friggin Korx Excalibur is a killer. I'm working on some unconventional tactics to beat this one.

I just went to the Metaverse Empire page and lo and behold ANZAC is self destructing. More defections have dropped them down several hundred thousand more MPTS. Looks like 12th place is now secure!

| I played a game last night - Torians and Drengins ganged up and crushed me. No points for you. |
|
After winning a few games consecutively, I was beginning to feel like I had AP at maso crushed. That was until my last game where the AIs decided to use "tag team" tactics against me. No military and no influence leads to no victory.

Bromoser, I was feeling as you did, until yesterday. After a couple of starts, I had a nice map and was tooling around until I realized I was the only evil player and both the Altarians (chaotic good in my games) and the Torians were the only remaining majors. Needless to say, I started losing ground fast.
Restarting and switching to good, I did better, but the damn Torians just refused to be convinced to ally (resisting every gift and trick I could manage). I went back a third time, and this time, I managed it (barely). As soon as I can get back home and hook my laptop up, I can get the points.
Sheesh! I got only four hours sleep last night because of GalCiv - and you wonder why I only play a couple games a month? 
Anyway, I figure it's time to d/l AP and start playing with that (and when it arrives in the mail, Halo for PC. That way I can kick ass at home and on the road!).

I think I see who your new nemesis will be...

Score another win for the "good" guys!! The evil died and the neutral were assimilated. I sure love a well coordinated culture attack!!

Wow! The other races are certainly in for a surprise!
The Guardians hate the Yor.
The Canadians hate the Torians.
The Aldarians hate the Drengin.
GROSS hates the Altarians.
Evil Empire hates everybody.

| The Drengins are the evil anti-Aldarians. |
|
Drengins are grumpy because they have no holidays!!
DHABB or die!!
| |
|
The Drengins must have heard about the Aldarian vendetta. They just gave me their last two planets!
SPLAT goes the "evil" ones.

Well, I was trying to beat campaign at "maso" level but scenario 3 might just be impossible at "maso". Solitair posted a strategy on the main forum for beating 3 but its apparent he was playing somewhere below "maso", since he talks about an Avatar instead of the Butt Kickin' Excalibur found at "maso". Oh well I guess its back to "normal" for me at least for the campaign.
Time to kill some Drengin to vent some frustration!

Oh well! I just got bit by the "alliance win unsubmittable" bug in the latest AP beta build.
I guess you got to take the good (the inflated scores for the AP beta's) with the bad (losing the points from a large, maso, alliance win).
I was thinking of taking a short break from my current pace of submitting games because of the severe diminishing returns I was experiencing anyway. Probably going to test other AP features for a few days.

Is SHABB legal alone, without DHABB?

That's alcohol abuse.
