Things may happen in the game as a result of UP decision (transports get attack values), Random Events (Fundamentalists) or Luck (Lucky Ranger early on in the game) that make the game much easier to win. As long as I still win after 2190, will such good things affect my score?
Also, are there any players still playing GalCiv I (not AP) that are in the top 100 plaayers? It seems like most people in the top 100 got their games in AP/are no longer playing....
I have no idea if these events alter your score directly, but I doubt it. I always play in the 60k limit thus I can't tell any differences anymore Though they can make it harder to win, too.
It is much easier to get 60k with AP. But this was not the reason why i bought it
The only two active players in the first two pages I know off are Spacepundit and I.
