Still cranking them out

It appears Weyrleader decided to become whole so the Guardians have third place again. That's the second time I have temporarily lived in 3rd place until being outrun by a faster player. That's the break in metaverse land. Glad some of us are still playing.

If anyone gets bored, turn down the sound and put on some great tunes. It makes everything fun all over again. Right now I am listening to well-played Beethoven piano sonatas and they are so fine.

I know he was talk about combiding his players, suprised Stardock done it.

On the Bright Side there is one less Guardian in the top 20

True, but the ones that are are all at the top.

I thought I posted this so sorry for any double post.

It seems the AP 1.52 adds some scoring boost compared to 1.49. It is not great but in 1.49 I would get 59k games with 2 or 3 planets on huge maso allied victory. But in 1.52 every game has been 60k - at the cap. Has anyone else noticed or discussed this possible meta score boost?

Have not noticed since I play gigantic, but now I understand how the Guardians made first place

#2281 by Citizen Evil Druid - 4/25/2005 2:30:09 AM

I still use 1.49 and never score below 60K in my huge maso allied victories.

I have 1.52 on my other computer put for whatever reason it won't download to the meta. So I'm afraid to update this one just in case.

#2282 by Citizen musicfan55 - 4/25/2005 1:23:34 PM

Druid, try taking just one or two planets, none of them 20 or 19 in a rare. Often the bot will get the trade goods and wonders so you have to trade for the important ones. Then stop after Jan 2190. Do you really get a 60k? I definitely got some 59k scores with 1.49 when I took a last place economy type start and the bot got all the trade goods plus wonders. On 1.52 everything is 60k. Not sure why.

Technician, our Foundation has half of the top 4 meta slots . . . in spite of eye-blurring efforts by the Guardians.

The number of games played by some is amazing. Congratulations.

Always take a minimum 3 and prefer 4. I'd be surprized to break 60K with only two planets. To bad you cannot see your actual score above 60 to see the difference.

#2284 by Citizen Weyrleader - 4/26/2005 12:16:45 PM

I will sometime play with two planets, even one if it is a 22 PQ planet. I always get 60K on rare huge masso alliance victory. I will often not get stock exchange, and several others that the AI like to get, and they get some that I don't even try for. But I almost always get the rest of what is available.

#2285 by Citizen musicfan55 - 4/28/2005 10:59:17 AM

Well it is hard to deny my 59k games on 1.49 as they are still on my profile.

.

I occ get these games (often when I am weak like two planets or three lame ones) where I am extorted until I am thousands in the hole. It takes a long time to dig out and by then the AI has nearly all the trade good wonders. Mostly I am trying to survive for a long time and go for an alliance to keep from getting squished.Those are the "under the cap games".

It would be fun to see what the score is even though only the "cap score" would count or something like that.

In 1.52, even those games I barely win net 60k. I thought there might be some boost because I think it is 1.52 that limits one to only bribing for 50 months (is that the correct change version?). But like other parts of Gal Civ, once you get used to it, you can still win. You just have to duck and hide for longer.

#2286 by Citizen Evil Druid - 4/28/2005 2:18:40 PM

If I only get two planets I start over

I'm surprised you can bring in a victory at all, forget about the 60K

#2287 by Diplomat Technician - 4/29/2005 9:03:47 AM

I play with Research.inc and high diplomatic bonus and almost never get extorted.

Hi fellow 'roys'

Sorry I have not been in for a long while. My extended family on my wifes side had a rather large family emergency and every on chipped in to help out. I helped run the family sheep farm and thus all my free time evaporated. And just before that my wife had a servere miscarriage and came very close to losing her life. All in all it has been a very trying 4 months. Almost everything is back on track again!

I am still working the farm but I should still have some free time for the important things ... Galciv, other computer games, maybe I will sign up for GC2.

See you guys around.
