| I finally downloaded Research Inc. I had no idea how good it was. I wouldn't have dared create a party that extreme. I assumed the party score the GalCiv writer gives you was a clue as to how good the AI thought it was. I was creating parties with scores like -1.5 to make sure the AI didn't pick them. Research inc has a score of over 20. |

Yes, Research Inc. was made to be easier life at maso level. As long as you don't enter into war 
And major AIs seem to love war: so they don't choose party with big militray negative bonus unless there is a nice (for them) trade off, like speed.
| Or how you can tell if they did? I looked in debug.err but didn't see anything relevant. |
|
You have to wait some turns until they have election. The results (for all AI, major and minor) is in the debug.err file

| Hey, I just noticed that my freaking shield finally changed color. It has been months since the last change. |
|
Woot!

I was surprised as well about how good it was. It makes a difference. At first I found that it made no sense building military ships and engaging in battle.
Later I discovered that I can still be a military force with many of the military bonus techs researched, a maxed out mil resource or two and the Tri-Strontium hitpoint trade good some of the weapons and hitpoint negatives are evened out.
Weaken em with Anti missles and go in with your best ships. You may loose more ships than normal but you can still whip em good! (are we not men...)

I was just talking about that song and music video with my dad yesterday. Same conversation discussed Safety Dance (by Men Without Hat). I like that for some odd reason.

That Devo song was on the radio, some Michegan station.

No, I live on the west side of the state. About dead-nuts between Chicago and Detroit on I-94. I was in Detroit on sunday though. I was checking out a hobby shop over there that has some telescopes in stock.

Interesting. That would account for your low score on that game. That "MASO" should have netted you in the low 50K right up to 60K but since it was Tough it makes sense.
There are plenty of strategies for MASO in the strategy forum. The play style is much different.

And they could be sum up (without too much spoilers) like: be the one to choose the fights you are involved into.

Hey all I'm new here and my brother is a member of the Foundation, so I was wondering if I could also become a part of the Foundation?
P.S. I'm a nOOb but I enjoy playing the game and I would like to join your empire if it is ok.
  
| |
|
Come on aboard and join us!!!
 
| |
|
This is the link to join us  Link
| |
|
Or, come on over and explore the First of Firsts, the Galactic Guardians. We would welcome you and you could have a little friendly rivalry with you brother instead of being on the same team. 
 
| |
|
|
|
| Or join us and your bro as we narrow the gap and overtake those that curently sit comfortably in first. More of a challenge I think. |
|
Sorry Weyrleader, but I think I'll take this offer!

That's ok, Giant-Yeti. Play for fun and you'll do fine. If you play to overtake the Guardians, be prepared for a long, drawnout loss on the part of the Foundation. Already their foundation is cracked

Congrats on your first 60K, T!
| Hey all I'm new here and my brother is a member of the Foundation |

Who is your brother? A smaller yeti?

His Brother is John Greenwood.
Welcome Giant-Yeti.
I am sure that you can get some tips from your brother on game play. If you have any questions please post them here or in the other forums. You will have your answers within 1 minute to 3 hours typically.

|
| Just won my first try at Maso. |
|
Termil, that is great! The first MASO win is the hardest or is it the 3rd because you get overconfident?
| |
|
| Don't mind me......just snack hunting |
|
No snacks here Takodoe. Tech and I were senior members of the undead empire. We have not fully reverted to the living yet.
