Just added a few more points to the pile! A little Alliance victory. Nothing special.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Welcome to new ringfolk and happy holidays to all.

Nice score Grelden. Congrats on your personal best mpts submission

Theoden it looks like the alliance victory takes a 20 - 25% mpts score hit compared to military victory. That's a big hit since once you meet criteria for an alliance victory, one can easily party palace to a military victory.

Or, is the extra 20-25% bump in the score for actually going through the process of taking over the entire galaxy?

Ric, that would depend on the map size. A gigantic maso alliance victory can probably net 53-57k mpts which is more like a 10% drop.

To be honest, I went Alliance victory on that last game because it was Christmas eve and I was going to my in-laws. I wanted to finish the game quickly and the Torians were Close to me. The Yor were wary and weak, so I allied with the Torians and sent an invasion fleet against the Yor. A few turns later, I was watching the victory movie!

I could have milked it for a little more score by playing out a military victory or getting through a bit more of the tech tree, but I just didn't want to go through the trouble. Alliance was just so easy...I took the short route.

Good morning to all and I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas! I got Knights of the Old Republic from my wife, so I guess she got the hint! I haven't had time to install it or anything, so I don't know what to expect.

You will give us a review, right?

You bet!

Cool! I am hesitant buying new games until I hear from more trusted sources, especially after the MOO3 incident

                    
#1033  by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 12/26/2003 8:18:37 AM

I think Darth Kryo has already played KOTOR and finished it. You might want to talk to him or some of the others in the Jedi thread for a quick review.

You guys are not going to believe this. I installed KotOR and I don't have the correct OpenGL to run it!!! My stupid Graphic Accelerator only supports OpenGL 1.3 and the game needs OpenGL 1.4. I downloaded the most up-to-date driver from Intel, but it still isn't enough. I've emailed Intel now, hoping to get some resolution, but I think I'm screwed.

Looks like it's time to make some Yor pay the ultimate penalty, since I'm sure they use Intel technology. Probably are running Microsoft software, too.

All your base are belong to us.

Tough luck, Theoden.

Really hope to see you at Star Chamber soon, vincible. The game has been on Gamespot #1 (hits) for 4-5 days now and the gaming population has grown from 50 to 500 in the past week.

Well, it finally happened. One now has to have 100k to even get in the top 100 rank. Wow, how the metaverse has changed.

Congrats to FotR. We now have 3.9 million. Onward to 4 million.

                          
#1039  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 12/28/2003 10:07:32 PM

Seems we lost 1-2 members recently.

We are still favourites to reach 4 million first though.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Okay, I've decided that it might be best to upgrade my graphics accelerator. I don't think they are all that expensive, I'll have to shop around a bit. Guess that Christmas money will come in handy!

Another weird week in store, as I will be off from work for another two days.

Didn't have a lot of time to dismantle Yor over the weekend so we'll see how this week goes. I'm looking forward to welding their arms together and forcing them to watch old episodes of "Happy Days".

Welcome to the Fellowship, lopogonzo! Have a look at the website at this http://fotr.galciv.org Link

Hey! Another new member! Welcome to the Fellowship, madermax! And congratulations on your first submission!

Please introduce yourself!

                          
#1043  by Citizen musicfan55 - 12/29/2003 2:37:21 PM

Welcome new members. Ray, thanks for the encouragement. It is always good to see you post.

Theoden. In the latest Computer Gaming World (CGW) tech section, it looks like most high-end machines are shipping with a 256Mb Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 or 5950 Ultra. Some have a 256Mb ATI Radeon 9800 XT. From reading http://www.tomshardware.com/ Link over some time, it appears Nvidia and ATI swap places as the top video cards. The CGW "lean machine" (more budget minded) choice was a 128Mb Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 Ultra for under $200. A better card will do the job longer before it goes obsolete but costs more. It is painless to install video cards. That's pretty much what I know about new video cards. Good luck.

Rick, thanks for the great info!! The wife will probably not like me buying something else for the PC, but what the heck!

Hi all!

My last day of vacation is slipping away. I got a GameCube for Christmas, though, which will be some comfort when I return to the freezing cold, wet place I call home. As well as Galciv of course, and hopefully Star Chamber too.

                        
#1047  by Citizen Greldon - 12/30/2003 9:57:10 AM

I got KOTOR (Xbox) for christmas but haven't tried it yet because I'm neck deep in a gigantic maso.
