Great work Team... keep it up.. and we'll have the other empires worried about their our influence... lol

Its very nice to see players in other empires taking an interest in our empire..

Makes an emperor proud to see his empire growing and taking over... Just remember all things come to those who are patient...

Okay guys... I had a entertaining game that seemed to crash regularly. The Drengin held out till the bitter end and I was spending a large amount on destablizing and spying, he was the only evil race in the game. I began stealing all his techs. Great huh? WRONG!

He finally gave in to Federation way of life, I said great, and looked at summary to see no score (Mpts zero) It submitted my game with a difficulty of Anomalous?? Man I am pissed as it also deducted from my score quite a large amount.

What is you empire wide PQ bonus? Are the cheat codes active?


                          
#1116  by Citizen FleetOfDarkness - 1/8/2005 9:02:44 PM

Ugh!! I just played a game and won! Only problem is that it won't submit. It says something about invalid scenario which isn't possible since I played a normal rule game. Too bad since it was 44K worth of points. I think that the latest build has introduced a submission/scoring bug. Oh well, I'll try another game next weekend.

         
#1117  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 1/8/2005 10:56:58 PM

I agree and some other odd things occured in my game as well. I sent off the debug file and explanation to CariElf. I sure hope they fix my score I never have used the cheat feature.

I use Icho Tolot Mods and never had this issue before.

DF load up your last Save Game.. then go to the screen where you set your taxes.. then clock on stats... if PlanetQuality is higher than 40 then your game is lost... its a well reportrd thing to watch out for... GalCiv /AP recon that if your PQ is above 40 then you've had an unfair advantage.. and wont submit your svore..

you must aleays keep your eye on this stat as it is the only one that is known that Stardock is checking..

If it has gone above 40 then its because of a mod your using in Conjunction with the abilities you chose at the start of the game either the pol party or the 10 assignable ability points... I know that you have recently been exploring combinations of these...and in conjunction with the mods your using these new vaslues in there may have been enough to lift PQ above 40



                          
#1119  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 1/9/2005 2:24:33 AM

Huh? No I have not I only use Icho Tolot mods I am not exploring anything. I never heard of this before, his Mods do have some PQ enhancements. I had PQ Stars that were 45 and 46 and the game submitted.

That makes 8 games in a row in the can since this last patch came out. Probably just me that is having issues. Someone at the site told this also that they have had a tough time submitting games.

I am going to suggest that they put some sort of warning in the game to prevent this from occuring. I spent 6 or 7 days on and off playing this game.

                      
#1120  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 1/9/2005 6:17:00 AM

It has notrhing to do with the inmdividual Planet Quality's...

it has to do with your PQ bonus in your stats screen...

(why the hell don't ppl listen... not just you DF many others too have fallen into this trap)

You were the one that told me trhat you have been trying different polotical partyes and distribution of ability points ...in the last wekk at least...

Icho'sd mods were probably ok when you were using your old setup.. but now that youve changed parties and are now probably taking one which increases your PQ bonus.. or are now taking PQ bonus in your ability stats.. this is what is now most likly pushing your PQ Stats... (not the individual PQ's) up over the 40% bonus mark...

Now please listen to me... I know... it has happened to me........... and many other players...

thios has nothing to do with the latest patch... it is as old as GalCiv itself...

arghhhhhhhh......... there is a warning... of sorts... its there to styop ppl from exploiting the system... at one stage you never knoew about the anomolous score until you posted the gamne on the metaverse... now days you can keep tabs on it in 3 distinctive ways

1) keep an eye on your stats screen where it lists your bonuses that you've aquired during the game..

2) save the game... Retire from the game .. chack to see that yopu still have a posative svcore.. and not 0's...

3) at the end of the game prior to subvmitting it to the mataverse you can see it in your score.. if its a 0 score and you know that you'vew won ..

if any or all of these are true then this means you've triped a cheat flag

the way to get around this would be to keep a running sequence of save games... ie: don't just go over the prevois save... and to save often...

As I've stated.. its been talkewd about on many many occasions... and is indeed very well known

there are 2 other ways to trip an anomolous score
1) use the cheat keys option
2) win the game way too early.. (can't remember how many years its triggered at...)
and this one the PQ STAT over 40%

ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT AT TIMES IN THE FORUMS

as to the scenerios.. I have no idea.. as i've never played anything but the Random maps... I don't like being dictated to as to how to play the game... lol

The planet Quality described here is the PQ empire bonus in the stats screen (accessed with F4)

I had PQ Stars that were 45 and 46 and the game submitted.

What was build on the planets to have such stats?

Hate to here that you guys are having problems submitting, but atleast I am not alone. I have tried to post the same game 5 times this am but it just wont go. However my points increased, I think.

I have never been able to get planets with PQ that high. I have at least as many mods as you. Check to see (as mentioned above) what your total planet quality was.

One of the mods out there (maybe Icho's) (maybe Saga Institute, Art of Bueaty, Green Society,)that has some improvements that will really push up PQ. Those in and of themselves will not put you over +40. But if you add +pq for abilities it may.

                            
#1124  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 1/9/2005 7:24:50 PM

Thanks guys! I did not know about this PQ issue. Now it makes even less sense as to why they did not address this all to common issue. Many others probably came across the same thing. I wasted 8 games in a row with 5 of them I had issues with the game either crashing or not being able to submit the game. I also am having some problems playing with my usual strategy since last patch. I did not think they were improving the AI any futher?

This has nothing to do with each star system Empire wide stats they are all talking about Fuels Chief. It is in the abilities area that is the problem. I had some other Mods with Icho this time. I will remove them as they did add in more PQ stuff that was empire wide. I will mention this to Icho and maybe he will make some changes when he makes THE BIG PACK.
