As a Weyr product safety tester I hope this does not mean I'm going to have to take a bullet for the team.


Also I guess the point of this new Weyr product is to be unsafe. So us safety tester our off the hook.

Theoden, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I've been busy.

As for the new forum, if you want to move over there, myself and Slothrop can probably have it ready within 48 hours at the latest, assuming he has no problem, but I do not think there is.

Boom! or more like bang! with only about 3K. Must quit playing more than 2 games a day, it is too discouraging

                            
#14805  by Citizen Evil Druid - 7/23/2004 7:42:29 PM

Weyr all give my serial number and you can submit those excess games for me. Hate to see you discouraged

By the way saw your post about 35 PQ. What mods help you get that.

Hello Guardians...

It looks like things are getting back to normal

Anyone know how to tell what political party the AI chose? This last game, I tried out Sinners and Saints and Research, Inc. The AI was rather subdued, but had 3 TG before '80. Could they have taken the Research Party?

                          
#14808  by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 7/23/2004 8:39:06 PM

Extremely unlikely. More likely they were bribing many AIs to be flushed with cash, and rushed built.

Research Inc. is all but guaranteed to keep AIs away, save minors.

Hey VoT! Thanks! By the way, is that a new shield? Spiffy!

Well, it kind of hard to say. I have almost all the mods installed, but I hardly play long enough now to make use of them, i.e. I end the game in alliance soon after 2090. when I played 3 to 4 hours per game, then they all came into play. but some that come to mind are the following that affect PQ (remember, it is not the individual planet PQ that causes an anomolus score, but the Planet Quality metric in the status page):
Culture Capital
Religious Capital
Economic Mogul
Life Seeding
Omega Tech
Dyson Spere
Omergo Center
Subarmar Envionmental Manipulation
Nano Environmental Manipulation
Research Inc. Political Party
Crystal shield
Planetary Paratron Shield
Enhanced Environmental Control
enhanced Terraforming
Aqua improvement
Aero Improvement
and ofcourse the ones in the unmoded game

All these add to PQ, some to specific planets, some to all of them. They all hike the Planet Quality metric which, as I mentioned, I have seen as high as 35. If it goes over 40 you get an anonmouls score. And I have had several of those.

                            
#14811  by Citizen Evil Druid - 7/23/2004 9:28:59 PM

Wow Weyr thats quite the list. I am using research inc as my only mod.

                          
#14812  by Citizen Greldon - 7/23/2004 9:33:22 PM

BOOM!!!....got 8,166 mpts for that one. Back when I played 80 or 90 games a month, I'd get around 2,500 to 3,000 mpts a game. Now I get 8k each for two games and then loose a bunch for the third game.....doesn't make any sense to me, but I keep playing.

See y'all tomorrow.

For Honor and Justice!

Hello everyone! Sorry about not being around much today, I had a really onoe. I'm off to take it out on some Yor and then I'll be back. And I must add that it's great to see 2 pages of posts for me to catch up on when I dropped in. More like it used to be.

                          
#14814  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/23/2004 10:19:21 PM

Any advice on where to check out the available mods? I've never modded a game before, and am apprehensive about it (don't want to screw it up as I am NOT a programmer).

BTW, just BOOMED (Read as fizzled) a beginner level campaign. "Almost" embarrassed to submit that one...I think I prefer the regular game to the campaigns, though I have not tried the campaign builder. I would reccommend the campaigns to a total newbie however, as it forces you to use different methods to achieve each campaigns victory conditions.

Welcome back Theoden, hope life eases up you soon!

All together now...

HOIST and TILT, aaaahhhh!!!!

                          
#14815  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/23/2004 10:22:05 PM

I'm using the Cultural and Religious Capitals, and theResearch Inc Political Party. I would also recommend the Omega Pack and Halut pack from Icho Tolot.

All together now...HOIST and TILT, aaaahhhh!!!!




                          
#14816  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/23/2004 10:25:53 PM

Where should I go to check this stuff out?

                          
#14817  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/23/2004 10:27:24 PM

Click the 'Library' button near the top of the page.

                          
#14818  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/23/2004 10:28:36 PM

OK, thanks.

Sleep soundly, Guardians. I will stand watch.

Has anyone downloaded any of the new games available on Drengin...er...TotalGaming...er...um...Stardock Central yet? I'm interested in hearing reports on how Diciples II is especially.


Hey Theoden!
I am playing DII now most of the time giving some days to rest for GalCiv,(trying to increase Metapoints)...Anyways
DII is really cool game in "Herous of Might and Magic" way... You've got castles there, you build new buildings, troops are upgrading themselves when they get some certain amount of XP points.
Theo, if you liked the "HoMaM" you'd defenetly gonna enjoy this one.

Well, speaking of Corona...everyone have a great night!


Ough yeaaahh... Just wake up from two days gigs...


                        
#14821  by Citizen Chipperoo - 7/24/2004 9:24:27 AM

Weyr, what time zone are you in? I'm in the pacific and it seems like most everyone is posting in the afternoon.
I visited the library last night after a tip from LW to get myself some mods...Question - can I put these SAME mods in my AP mods folder and will they work the same?
Thanks in advance for your help. Gotta run, golf tourney in San Diego...

Throttle a Yor, It'll feel good!

                          
#14822  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/24/2004 9:27:34 AM

Yup.

                          
#14823  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 7/24/2004 9:44:04 AM

I'd like to add one other mod to my list: The mini-colony ship. It works great as it's faster than the standard unit, and the AI doesn't use it. With it's maximux capacity of 1000 Mil, it's easier to get people on it when colonizing lower PQ planets in the late game.

Chip, I am in Virginia, Eastern time zone.

You can put the mods in the mod folders in GalCiv and AP. If you only want to put them in one place, put them in GalCiv mod folders as AP will go there to get them. Then you can play with the mods in both GC and AP. If you put them in the AP mod folders, then only AP will see them.
