I'm at work at the mo.. so i'll respond when I get home later.

Cheers

I didn't receive your mail Greldon

Good morning everyone. I it is still dark for some of you. I hope you have a good day ahead. I do since I don't work tomorrow

Very interesting discussion everyone. Keep talking, I'm taking notes!

Nastavnik>> Feel free to email me if you wish to talk off line about anything. I think you and I play at about the same levels and such. I can check the email from work also... it is Email

Thanks Terl. you have email, by the way.

Of late I don't build ANY military.. quite happy to pay the tribute as I'm normally at 100% spend with surplus coming in and keep all the civ's at friendly...

I tried that once, got invaded. One AI tried that in my last game, didn't work either: I invaded them.
I guess I'm not skilled enough to pull this off... yet.

That's my best, but always under 3 hours..

I agree that's amazing. Once I managed to do a tiny game within that time table. The AI does manage it too (when against me): the time i tried to play without military, within 1 or 2 hours I was wiped out by some AI (it was so fast I didn't even noticed who it was...)

Since AP seems to be working fine, I decided to start another game in it --and I read a post from Cari somewhere saying that there might be another update soon*--, rather than continuing (for now) the gigantic I had started under 1.13 (but I think I'll go back to it later). I like the crowded galaxy.

*: I checked, it's in the AP beta 2 bug report thread.

Well, I tried a maso small rare last night and got my arse kicked! Therefore I propose we completely overhaul the metaverse into 35 categories and 165 subdivisions

Seriously, I am not ready for that yet! I went back to challenging. Less stressful

and more fun which is what I like anyway.

I'll practice, practice, practice though. I'll get it soon

Il looks like we're fighting the same fight

I'm looking forward to this evening, hopefully I'll be able to play, and tomorrow morning too, before reallife quicks in for a few hours (administration problems, but conquering the galaxy later on will be revenge enough I guess

)

#1956 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 8:31:54 AM

Another fine morning here in Middle Earth!

Hope everyone had a good night (or whatever time period you have just experienced in the last 12 hours!)

Great discussion going on in this thread! I find it fascinating how so many people have different strategies that they employ to kick aliens around the galaxy! Hey, whatever works for you!

Wombie: Maybe I should try Medium again. It's been a while since I tried, so I might last a little longer now.

I've still not been able to play a game with no military, but as I am pretty militaristic anyway, I doubt I'll ever accomplish that!

The fastest game I've played lasted about an hour. I think it was a Small/Maso and I sort of got a little invasion happy. I finished the game so fast, I only scored around 9000 points! I've attempted to tone down my invasion addiction a bit since then...

Work looks sort of busy this morning, so I'll check the forum when I can. Hopefully, this afternoon will be a little more free!

Cool, my speed is ok. I lost in an hour but only got 318 points

Needless to say, I did not post it... I have got to work on my GalCiv skill set obviously.

#1958 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 8:41:37 AM

I pulled the stats off my profile...

10/21/2003 (1.100000) Morality: Neutral Galaxy Size: Small 9855
Difficulty: Masochistic Win / Lost: Win: Military Conquest

Pitiful, huh?

#1959 by Veteran Terl - 1/29/2004 8:54:12 AM

Pitiful, huh?

No it is not. You won did you not?

Me? I got wiped out by the Yor....

#1960 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 8:59:20 AM

Very true!

By the way, I have a very bad hatred of the Yor. Ever since they cleaned my clock several Painful games, I've held a grudge against them. I take particular pleasure in dismantling them and sending each piece of them into a different sun. I have instructed my scientists to ensure their pain synapses have been maintained as they begin melting. The more pain I can inflict on the Yor, the better!

Ahem...um...sorry. Sort of drifted into an evil zone there...

(it sounded like you go interrogating them, "is it safe?"

)

Pitiful, huh?

Nope, you won. I have two losses that awarded me 4 points each

. And lately the times I was wiped out in the first 50 turns I didn't submit. But since I already have 2 very humbling losses submitted, the next three I have, I'll submit them, so I have the wounded in battle medal. In some games, it really felt like I earned the right to have it

Hmmm, if they run on Windows, we could always wait until they shut down after their updates for the manadatory restart and catch 'em unawares....

If they run on windows I guess they're themselves their worst enemy and I'll never worry about them again! And I won't be buying any trade goods/techs from them either.

(stops to think about all possibilities that implies)

On the other hand, if they run under windows you might get to see their fleet attack you for no apparent reason, and when asked why did you attack, they will say, we didn't meant to. We were aiming at your neighbours, the (someone who is around) but we had a system bug in our navigation sensors...

You dance with the Yor, the Yor don't change.
The Yor change you.

Good morning everyone. I've got a busy day ahead too, but I'll check in when/if I can.

Very interesting discussion everyone. Keep talking, I'm taking notes!

Very interesting indeed!

#1966 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 10:11:33 AM

I'm certain the Yor are running some Microsoft software. That's where they got that "Dominate the Galaxy" mentality. It has nothing to do with the Dark Arnor!

#1967 by Veteran Terl - 1/29/2004 10:21:55 AM

I'm certain the Yor are running some Microsoft software. That's where they got that "Dominate the Galaxy" mentality.

But, gee, wouldn't that be more through trade restrictions and lawsuits rather than battleships?

It looks like FotR lost about 250K points since yesterday! It doesn't appear that we lost any members. Does anybody know what's going on?

At this rate, we'll be below 3mil in a day or two!

#1970 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 1:30:35 PM

It's probably nothing more than a Metaverse-wide recalc. It happens occasionally...I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Score degradation is sort of scary, isn't it?

#1971 by Citizen Nastavnik - 1/29/2004 1:45:47 PM

Greldon,

Amulekbird has posted this in another thread:

"The actual way your score is calculated is the total score earned per month divided by the number of games per month. You have played six games and have scored 15,562 pts. 15,562/sqrt(6)=6,353. That is why your score is what it is.

Each month, for six months, the score for the previous month degrades by 5%, so on Feb. 25 for you, this months score will go down by 5%, but then your new games will be added to your score separately by the rule described above. "

I guess this explains that...

#1972 by Citizen Bam_Bam - 1/29/2004 1:54:08 PM

I guess this explains that...

Not exactly. The changes to score only kick in when a new game is submitted; e.g., if you haven't posted a game since December 24th, the score for that game (and the ones previous to it) does not take the 5% (or higher) month hit until you post a game after January 23rd (or so-->30days after)).

There must be something else at work here.

#1973 by Citizen Nastavnik - 1/29/2004 2:04:05 PM

So if many members submitted games in the last, say, 10 days, that might explain some of the decrease, no?

[Message Edited]

#1974 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 1/29/2004 2:08:38 PM

No, what I'm saying is occasionally the Metaverse goes through a forced recalc. Basically, whether scores are posted or not, the recalc affects everyone. This means players who haven't submitted a score in a while will have their scores degraded. This is where a lot of the points went.
