Thanks Newfy.. Though I perfer Huge to Gigantic maps or I do not enjoy myself as much.
I watched the launch and the celebrations afterwards. I am a sci-fi and science junkie myself.. Obvious when you look at my website. 
Admiral Qwerk thanks for your great leadership. I do not mind anyone giving me tips. I will take the ones I think fit my playing style and forget the rest. 
Great to see this thread alive..  I have never lost a game either I do not think I would intentionally loose one just for a purple heart.
Now if I could get some of you guys to sign up at my website and help my forums get busy it would be awesome.. (Had to try never hurts!!)

I forgot to mention I have built almost every single wonder and trade good. I only missed a couple of them. The important influence ones I built first, I own all the SB's none are owned by the AI.
I am going to take out the Minors if I can get away with it. Otherwise I am going back to attacking them. I broke off the alliance a few turns ago.

I know you given the link before but please take this opportunity and give it again and all lurk on over.

Sure no problem..  Link NeoTech Network.. It is a sci-fi theme site.. Just to prepare you, I have some rather different user commands then most sites. They function the same as other PHP Nuke sites. It is all for fun and entertainment purposes. (Hint: Forums are: Crew Communications)
The user menu is called the NeoTech Helm.

| I have thought about submitting losses to the metaverse but it would not feel right. I would like to get that nice purple heart of cowardice ... I mean wounded in action . I am just not sure what it would do to my metaverse scoring. Maybe I should ask Peace. |

I guess it will depends a lot on the number of 60K games associated with the loss in the same block:
If in a block there is (hypothesis of 0K submitted for a loss):
3 60K games => 3*60/sqrt(3) = 104K for the block
3 60K + 1 0K game => 3*60/sqrt(4) = 90K for the block => loss of 14K
8 60K games => 170K. 8 60K games + 1 0K game => 160K => loss of 9 K
15 60K games => 232K. 15 60 K games + 1 0K game => 225 => loss of 7 K
15 60K games + 2 0K games =>218K => total loss of 14K
15 60K games + 3 0K games =>212K => total loss of 20K
15 60K games + 4 0K games =>206K => total loss of 26K
15 60K games + 5 0K games =>201K => total loss of 31K
3 60K games + 2 0K games =>80K => total loss of 24K
3 60K games + 3 0K games =>73K => total loss of 31K
3 60K games + 4 0K games =>68K => total loss of 36K
3 60K games + 5 0K games =>64K => total loss of 40K
The important thing is to have always enough 60K games in the same block to limit the influence of loss. An to avoid having block with only loss. It would act the same as block without submission.

But, PP, a loss does not have to have zero points associated with it. You have fewer points than a winning game, and maybe very few. My losses all have a few hundres points, I think, I haven't looked recently. But, I also have a few anonomous games with zero points.

I know. But it isn't really important when rounding to the nearest K.
| |
|
BTW, anomalous games don't seem to be taken in account when calculating metaverse score: ie, act as if they don't exist.

Exalted Druid (Active, Was my site a little to much to deal with being sci-fi? Just curious your reaction. It is a different website not like the rest! I hope you did not get turned off.
I will not worried about that one medal. Seems like you would ruin your score potentially. You guys can get the 60,000+ scores I am still struggling with the 12-15,000 games.

Some progress finally Admiral Qwerk! The military conquest went from 91% to 92% finally getting the upper hand it seems. It is april 2232 right now.. I am taking out the Minors that I can easily take out, then I will start a war with the torians, whittle them down to a few ships. Hopefully they will simply surrender. I have max destablization now.. This is the main reason I am finally turning the tables.
I am managing only about 2-4 hours a day playing and the turns are taking forever.. This is the reason why I am taking so long to submit another game. Sorry I am not able to get them out faster. Maybe I will check out Newfy advice on playing smaller maps.

A tactic that might have worked for you would have been to get the minors fighting one or two of the majors. If you allow a minor to stay late in the game it can be a very tough opponent. So the plan should be to sic them on a major and then when they are weak do a quick strike and finish them off.
In any case bribing the majors to attack each other can keep their strength down which works to yor advantage.

Thanks once again Newfy.. You always give me some excellent tips I appreciate a lot. I tried to get one of the minors to attack the Torians no good. What I did not was to have the minors fight among themselves for now.
After that I will try to convince the fundamentalists to attack them. They are allied with them so it will not be easy. I plan to offer a planet in trade for attacking them. I have almost enough military to take out every ship the torians have.
They are hurting badly.. only 10 toward military, 20 toward social and only 40bc toward research. The rest they are using to destablize and spy on me.

|
| so I now know of severeal ways to get a 60,000 score.. |
|
It can be done on Crippling as well. I think it's a Huge Military win, with AP.

Exalted Druid (Active, thanks.. I am hoping to attract more then the sci-fi crowd in time. Littlewotts enjoys NeoTech. I seem to get a ton of visitors my record is like 149 at one time. I plan on adding more website with different themes all linked together. Register at one you have access to all.
Admiral Qwerk thanks a lot.. I am having fun just this game is taking 2 times as long to finish due mainly to how I approached the game on military conquest.
I suspect in less then a few months I will be scoring 60,000 points a game. I never can go by a day without firing up Galciv at least once!

I am happy to report that my mission is going well.. I traded the Torians all their worlds but 2 in the northeast of the map for peace.
I repositioned my ships and transports and declared war again. Just a matter of time and A LOT of transports before I finish the game.
Time to eat lunch..(In the heat of battle no less )
There seems be some glitches: Example -> Why did I loose all trade with the minor civ? I thought once you made peace all your trade routes come back?
Another bug is the Torians are shown to be #1 in treasury and is not accurate. They have had a negative value and have had for a long time. They have no BC whatsoever!
Give me another hour or less I will post the story of our strange mission.
