Congrats on the bomb Attila. 
OK, some thoughts on the BH victory score being so low.... I think you only score points for techs that you have researched (also affected by how quickly you get them and if the AIs already have them), not for ones gained through trade. At Maso, you have to trade for a lot of tech in the early game to have any chance of keeping up and building the wonders that kick-start your economy... so your tech score is reduced because of this, and as that is the most important element in a BH victory.... you're score is screwed.

Magnumaniac's continued observations on the mysteries of the meta.....
Noticed something interesting today. Having been keeping a weather eye on the happenings of the top 10 players lately (my next meta target), I knew that Renegade (or Lord SPAM) had 366 games to his name yesterday. He submitted a game earlier today, and his total went to 365 games. This seems to prove the point that at some point, old games do get dropped off your metaverse record altogether.
Further confirmation can be gained by taking a look at Ray The Wanderer's profile - listed in the meta with 60 games, but has 84 in his profile - so everything prior to June 2003 has been dumped. This suggests that your submitted games have a life of about 10 months.
So all I've got to do is wait until 10 months after Greldon and Lothmorg get bored with trying to outdo eachother, submit a 60K bomb, and take the gold.

Arcilte has been mentioning this happening to his scores for a while now.

Yeah - he fits the 10 month profile as well, all games prior to June 2003 aren't being counted. It will be interesting to see when he loses the June ones. Should give an idea of whether it's worked out by some fixed routine in the meta, or is dependent on your last submission date. 
Note to self.... Ray - 60, Arclite - 45, as of 30th April.

I'm going to guess it's fixed. I have to check and see when their last submissions were, but I don't think Arcilte have played any games recently.

In my haphazard way of playing, I use rare, and generally get 3 systems, maybe 4. The AI get 2-3 normally, sometimes they do get more by conquering minors and such.
| |
|
|
|
Nope. 3 or 4 yellows on a large. I will grad some PQ14 as I find them,. I usually try to flip s a few planets to keep TS costs down.
| |
|
I generally play Uncommon now. AIs are a bit stronger, but nothing too bad, and it gives you a better chance of finding 3 good planets close by.
| |
|
I do have to use the crtl+n a lot to get a goos start.
| |
|
|
|
No speed bonuses. I guess I get lucky. I do use the save, ctrl+u, re-load cheese though. That helps. If and AI is too close, forget it. This is also why I only play once in a while. I don't like restarting to get a good spot all the time. Location is key. And my location in the game I'm working on sucks. I've got the Yor super-power next door. I can't wait to Greldonize them.

Well, make sure you save first. Then you need to turn on the cheats. Once you are back to the game, press crtl-u, and it will reveal the map.
| |
|
|
|
| this one doesn't work in my games? I've already asked this question before, where exactly i should use ctrl+u? |
|
Attila, finally one I can answer (I think). On your main menu screen, lower left columns is a Cheat Keys toggle (be sure you've got a save game prior to this), enable it, Continue Game, then once you get to the main map view do your Ctrl+u cheese. Voila! (Be sure to load after peeking. )
