JT, couldn't hit 1M in 80 games

, oh well. You and Tg are the only ones as far as I know. WTG

#776 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/16/2004 12:18:49 AM

as peace said.. it can be done in less than 50

Why not start again and try for it... {manic laughter}

thanks...

When I get my clone situation fixed, I'll go for it.

#778 by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 10/16/2004 12:29:51 AM

Yes, but not in less than 8 months

. You need to submit 6 games per month during 250 days to reach the million with 50 games

.. I know... thats what i'd like to see someone do

and in a big epire where the slow rate of submitions wouldn't bother them so much..

I'd love to see someone do it... it can be done

I need some pointers in order for me to be on challenging level. I have tried it about 10 times I kept restarting as it appears I will loose miserably or I am just not giving it time. Totally different game at challenging.

JT Qwerk I could make a private place for us to exchange key ways of playing for poinits? Let me know because I am anxious to improve my game and help the empire!!

#781 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/16/2004 8:06:47 AM

tell me how your playing.. and I'll give you tips... that may help..

There are lots of tips in the stratagies area.. also I've posted all my tips in here before time and time again..

BIG tip...

You WILL go down in comparison with the computer in the rankings while your playing.. don't worry about your player ranking agasinst the AI's..

Simply keep on neutral or above diplomatic status..
do so by gifting a tech at a time.. or up to 10bc / month for 50 months..

once your planets build up then you will catch up and overtake the AI's

try playing tight clucters rare inhabitable plants (you need to comolise abolut 6-10 planets to have a successful game) Don't buy everything on every planet.. only buy whats necessary and what will make you money.. keep an eye on your tax rates.. keep them as high as posible while keeping your planet with the lowest moral as close to but higher than 50%

make a trade route with all the AI's it makes them friendlier and less likely to go to war with you..

I set military to 90% and reserch to 10% at the start of the game

I purchace 2 colony ships as soon as I can.. then colonise as many planets as quick as i can.. then I switch from military to 50% social and 50% research I research all of the yellow techs first (swapping and gifting to AI's to gain the others)

if you do all of the above you should stand a great chance of winning

#782 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/16/2004 9:36:26 AM

Okay there is a good one you gave me.. 90% on military I have not tried. Beginning of my games (guess you wish to allow newbies to find the tips.. Not worrying about other empires taking your great tips I assume!) I set my spending to 100%, military 60% and the rest all 20%.

Colony ships every 4-5 turns. I send a few out to the distant planets. I keep this setting until my colonization phase is over with. I focus on research for a bit, then move social up higher.

It appears nothing I am doing is a good way to play if I expect to begin getting scores 40,000+

thanks.

I am back on a gigantic map though I found it impossible to get a good start. From what you are indicating I need to just be patient and not give up assuming that the placement is bad.

Huge maps are good.. gigantic I find are tooooo slowwwww...

Play your own game... discovering your own way of doing things is half of the game... there in no right way or wrong way... if it works for you then its good.. if it doesn't then play around with it.. If you want a game thats easy to play then play tic-tac-toe... the main thing is that you enjoy playing.. don't worry about what you score.. every score helps .. you will get there.. I promise.. it just takes time... you'll find a method that works for you... there are many out there that work.. the best place to see what people have done and find works fopr them is the stratagy forum..look at them.. compare them to your style of play.. try them out if they sound good.. what works for one player doesn't mean that it'll work for you .. everyone plays differently...

eg: I can't play a game in an hour... others can and do play it in even less than that... I've tries and no matter what IO try the quickest i've ever had id 2 1/2 hours... doesn't mean that i'm doiing anything wrong..

#784 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/16/2004 10:51:34 AM

Yes I realize everyone plays differently.. I have fun no matter what or I would not play.

I am trying to help the empire advance the more key tips I can find it will help. I am dedicated just have not had time to log that many hours of play in. With my website, health issues it kicks me and prevents me from doing what I want. Adding some great scores fast is what my goal is.. learning fast is my other goal..

I have poked around in the strategy forums. It is hard, I must spend time at my own site.. No time to load enough pages to find anything new. I will just keep plugging you do not have a 1st officer and it looked appealing. That is my long term goal to fill that slot!

#785 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/17/2004 8:28:36 AM

I am back on a huge map.. 4th place the Yor are demanding something every few rounds and seems to be triple the size of my meager location in the gradrant.

I will keep plugging away at it. I ended up splitting the races with half bright and half normal. Seems a bit easier but not much! I try hard.. I will say that much.

If all goes well this game will be done in 2 days.

#786 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/17/2004 8:58:16 AM

Yes you are very trying...

{joke}

#787 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/17/2004 9:01:35 AM

Very trying? Does it mean annoying?

Not offended just not sure how to take the joke.

At any rate the Yor detest humans and decided to exterminate us no way to stop him. The Korx are next in line. Wish me luck!

Hey I did not type exactly what I intended. That was not right at all. I met something else.. Silly American!

I started a new game (normal) which should be done in another day at the rate I am going maybe less. I am doing a story in the other thread but not to sure if it will be interesting.

I am trying to come up with a good storyline to describe my game. For entertainment purposes of course.

#789 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/18/2004 11:19:14 PM

great!!!... so far so good.. just take it ewasy.. don't push yourself... if there is a stoiry there it will come out as you time.. if not then don'tr worry about it...

Arghhh....... save me......

Medic... Medic....

No problem, the medic is coming. I have called him

After all, we need you in good shape if another contract must be made upon you.

It would be better for the business

Where are the sacrificial red shirts when you need them?

#794 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/19/2004 6:15:00 AM

#795 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/19/2004 6:29:16 AM

DF did you save me??? type Defended.. and report your defence with a message into their topic...

Sheesh.. even on my deathbed I still have to tell them what to do...

Arggghhhh.....

Wheres that alcahol.. romulan ale when I need it....

#796 by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 10/19/2004 6:38:45 AM

report your defence with a message into their topic

It wouldn't work: the defence must be made before the shoot. But rules of engagements tell nothing about what happen to the target after the termination message

#797 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/19/2004 7:52:53 AM

Honestly I don't mind what happens.. butg please get it all sorted out prior to the next hit.. please....

I thought that when a plater gets a bounty placed on their heads.. that

The contract had to be accepted by IBH .
Then the next msg posted by the starget (within 48 hours of being accepted) could be targeted..
Then adter beed targeted and aquired that a member of targets empire had 10 min to defend...
then the target gets killed if undefended for 10 min
If IBH confirms the kill.. then the contract is fulfilled

And that only one Bounty is active at any one time...

Thats what I gathered from the IBH bounty messages

I actualy can't see much good comming out of this bounty thing.. although its fun.. I do believe that It'll just force the targets into hiding ie: no posts till the 48hours are over..

As you can see I do like the concept.. and do join in.. and play along..

#798 by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/19/2004 8:20:54 AM

I had no idea I was supposed to do that nor did I know there was such a game going on. It seems interesting but lacks a point and consequences though. Do we earn something? Just curious..

My new game keeps crashing over and over. One autosave was corrupted so I am crossing my fingers that I can submit the game.

It is rather odd, the Altarians have like 5 systems total with maybe 9 planets. I am spread almost 40-50% of the map and they were in the lead throughout most of the game. Something is sure odd and I am not sure if it is the Mods or not.

Wish me luck!

#799 by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 10/19/2004 8:35:01 AM

Then adter beed targeted and aquired that a member of targets empire had 10 min to defend...

then the target gets killed if undefended for 10 min

I haven't seen these points in the IBH termination contract thread
