Thanks Magnumaniac (for the encouragement)! I'll see what damage I can do--to the Yor and to the Metaverse rankings!

Hello Guardians! I'm just popping in to say 'Hi' and then I'm off to bed. My new shift is 4:30am to 2:30pm, so I need to get to bed much earlier.

Jester's Corner was sent out this evening. ABT, you need to clean out your inbox before I can send you a copy. Hotmail won't let me send it.

Wow, crappy shift LW. Where do you work?

Hi everyone,

Alot to read and catch up on. I've been away for the last couple of days from playing GalCiv and participating in the forums. I'm very busy writing and learning my new course material. At the moment I'm outlining a sci-fi 4 book series I want to write in the future once I have learned more of this wonderful craft and written a few succesful short stories hopefully. Not only am I learning my course material I'm teaching myself proper English usage and grammar etc ... I would have never of thought that it would be this exciting though when I started it. Back to the story; it has been evolving in my head over the last 3 months and the idea had to finally come out before my head exploded with it. Now that it's out I can think up a few short story ideas for my course assignments.
Terl, I will submit the outline to you soon for your thoughts on it. I hope you will enjoy reading outline.

Now it's time to get a game or 2 in, that top 25 is looking sweet for the taking. Hopefully I can be in the top 25 before the end of the week.

LW, Theoden, and Greldon I left a message for you all in the S.H about your new jobs and happenings, I wish you all the best.

Congrats to everyone who deserves it, I don't have time to go through and thank you all individually. It's great to see some of the newer Guardian members really participating in the forums and the game. WTG Guardians.

Signing out from Slayer MC.

For Honor and Justice!

Ok, here we go! I just trashed the game I was working on. Going straight by the book of MM's strat. Did a Maso too for the heck of it.

I must say that I am impressed. I am probably about halfway. Everyone is friendly or warm toward me and I've only been threatened once (which I rejected). I don't have a *single* military unit other then scouts and frieghters which scares me, but working fine so far. I actually have the most planets over everyone so if things get ugly I can go military. My production is awesome and I've traded for about every key military tech, just in case.

Here's to hoping things don't take a turn for the worse and I can finish it tomorrow and maybe get a 60k!

#8883  by Citizen Genghis Hank - 4/21/2004 12:08:23 AM

I just got 11K from my 43K small crip to BANG! into the top 100!

                          
#8884  by Citizen Greldon - 4/21/2004 12:13:11 AM

WooHoo!! Six Guardians on the front page! WTG!
I just got 11K from my 43K small crip to BANG!
I just got 3,119 for my large maso.

Very nice, Slayer!

                          
#8885  by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 4/21/2004 12:40:01 AM

I am glad I can only play as often as I do. I still get a lot of points for my games, except for the last one. But I had been getting 10-15K a game.

I imagine I will run into your problems after a while.

Congrats to GH and MC for making the top!

Your seventh will be LW or GH, I am certain of it.

Your looking good bonscott for a maso victory.

Very nice, Slayer!

Thnx Greldon

I think LW will be there ahead of me to tie the SF record. I hope I can be the eighth in to break the record, but there's a whole pack comming up fast behind me, and some of them are already playing maso!

Good job bonscott! Don't wory about the military. In this, GalCiv is much like other 4X games (and somewhat like RL). Economy always beats military!

Thanks MC!

Night all!

Now come and earn it.... I'm waiting to see you!

I've carefully monitored morale and income, adjusting each turn to stay at 100% morale on all systems


Why do you want to stay at 100% morale on each planet?
If it is only for population growth, don't forget that at some point, there isn't any benefit to keep 100% moral on a planet since the caps growth is reached with lower morale (anything between 54 and 99 will giwe the caps growth depending on the population and the empire growth bonus).

I think we're talking early game here PP. The 6% growth helps get your pop (and therefore economy) growing. Agreed that once you hit the pop growth cap, you can let morale drop to around 60% quite safely.



                          
#8893  by Citizen Kazzryl - 4/21/2004 5:28:30 AM

Doesn't having a 100% morale also help your manufacturing rate and social production?

                        
#8894  by Citizen Magnumaniac - 4/21/2004 5:37:08 AM

Don't think so Kazz. Never noticed it doing that.


                          
#8895  by Veteran Disciple777 - 4/21/2004 6:23:01 AM

It doesnot affect it. But somehow helps your economy.

Doesn't having a 100% morale also help your manufacturing rate and social production?


yes but it is a very small effect: something like 1 -2 BC spent less if morale isn't 100%. Here are some examples:
PQ - population - taxes rate - morale -manufacturing power
16 1000 0 100 17
16 1000 42 74 16
16 1000 52 40 15
16 1000 58 18 14
16 1000 61 16 13
16 1000 63 0 12
17 1000 0 100 18
17 1000 41 92 17
17 1000 52 56 16
17 1000 59 30 15
17 1000 63 12 14
17 1000 66 1 13
18 1000 0 100 18
18 1000 52 72 17
18 1000 60 40 16
19 1000 0 100 19
19 1000 53 84 18
19 1000 59 60 17
19 1000 65 34 16

As you can see it is a small effect, but it could have impact on the completion leading to rush buying or wasting a turn for a project that need only 4BC of manufacturing spending
