All quite on the MidWestern front. Another beautiful raining day here in West Michigan. I bet you didn't know Lansing is the second most cloud covered city in the US behind Seatle. But, we love our Lakes. We have closed the gap a little on GROSS (about 4500) behind. My own game drags on. Those Darn Yor they just will not bend over and take it. Well, it is only a matter of time. Welcome again to our new members. Our thread has been suprisingly GROSS free lately (that is not a bad thing). Memorial Day weekend is coming up so I hope everyone neglects their families and plays GalCiv.

FYI MWC. I am currently at the tail end of a game. I don't think I will download the latest patch untill I am finished. Last time I tried to install an update while playing a game I was unable to transfer my score to the metaverse. So just a word of caution. The folks a Stardock have probably already taken care of this but better safe than sorry.

Finally done. I had to settle for a tech. win. I was going for cultural but. After converting most of my allies I had no buffer between me and the hostiles. No matter though they were vastly inferior, Ok they couldn't win a tech victory. Either way I pulled it off. Hope you all are doing well in your games.

Is there any benefit to playing older versions?? I noticed some players (who lead other teams) are still playing v.031. Are they just looking to take advantage of old flaws??

I finished a game last night too. Only got 1000 points but hey, it was a fun tech win.

A big special welcome to our new members. With everyones hard work (OK OK fun gameplay). We are keeping pace with our fellow top ten teams. We continue to close in on the #8 team. But they will not go down without a fight. Thanks to Fearqus,Copernicus,Soulwound, Idleprocess, and HellC for their recent 900pt+ games. I love the competition with the other teams, but more importantly I love the game. I hope everyone is having as much fun with it as I am. I think my next game shall be GROSS style. Pure Evil. I'll let you know how it goes.

Another day rises here in the beautiful Midwest. We still haven't heard from our brothers and sisters in Chicago and from other regions in the fertile plains. Surely there must be loyal GalCiv players from the windy city who are eager to join a great empire. Come see our site and make the call. http://idle.thehueys.com/midwest Link

One step closer to #5 and one step closer to utter GROSS defeat. MWC stellar ascend is awesome. Join us now to be a part of it!

Welcome again to our newest recruits. Infodragon glad you decided to join us. It is good to have another fellow Michigander on the team. Twortz welcome as well. Where abouts are you from?? I also want to say way to go team. People like Axels2000 and others with their great scores are pushing us to the top. I can smell the French cheese we are getting so close.

More fun is to come. We are getting closer to the next level with fierce fight ahead of us for spot #5 and above. G.R.O.S.S. we love you.

Man! what a holiday weekend. I got in a whopping 2 games, and both were humilliating losses

I won't even tell you the difficulty level, it's rather embarrassing

Well my holiday weekend i worked so i didnt have too much a better time than you.

Still working on finshing my current game, the yor have become a major pain in the azz. I still hope i can pull off a win.

My holiday weekend went as normal for me -- traveling from one relative's house to another, fixing their computer problems. Ah, the life of a geek.

I'm easing back into the much less hectic, more relaxing 9-5 work schedule now. Might even have time for computer games again.

         
#41  by Citizen SoulWound - 5/27/2003 6:13:00 PM

It seems they are redoing the metaverse scores. I wonders what this will do to our rank?

Well I just got back from my holiday weekend today. My experience was similar to your Copernicus. Except after family we got home and started house renovation (painting and plastering). My computer has been(and still is) unplugged for three days now. Oh the agony. Anyway I am (or was) working on a decent game. No telling when I will be able to finish it though.

Welcome to our newest member Kurleykyew. We seem to be in 7th on the metavers right now with Apolyton in 1st and GROSS in 9th. It seems very strange though and the individaul scores are stange too. They must still be changing it. Staffa went from 1st to 19th. Anyway for now we are 7th yeah us.

                      
#44  by Citizen SoulWound - 5/28/2003 10:36:45 AM

i think that will change, i have a overall score of 3789.9 still i'm sure that will drop very soon.

         
#45  by Veteran Gerakken - 5/28/2003 12:47:18 PM

(Gerakken makes his grand, dramatic entrance into the enemy empire's thread)

Quake in fear, most worthy MWC foes. The Score Reaper is coming soon. He is just coming earlier for those who submit games. But, the Reaper will eventually take all of us down. And when the field is level again, you will be back in the same boat as before, behind GROSS! Muwahahaha!

(Gerakken comes out of his manic state, and realizes he is in the wrong thread. Time to slip away, not-so-unnoticed.)

                      
#46  by Citizen Copernicus - 5/28/2003 1:22:41 PM

No Gerakken, I most certainly will not Quake, whether in fear or otherwise. I never really got into Doom, let alone Quake, and I tend to prefer turn-based games anyway.

I got a chance to try out GalCiv 1.04 last night. I haven't gotten too far yet, but there are a few noticable differences. For one, "Loose Clusters" are far more loose than before, which has been throwing off my playing style somewhat. For another, the game now encourages you to select all your civilization bonus points explicitly at the start, something which I had been avoiding up to now. I tried maxing out the morale and population growth, and my Terran Hordes empire really started living up to its name! Unfortunately, a civilization more interested in procreation than in building, researching, or conquering doesn't make for a terribly effective empire, as was forcefuly demonstrated to me several times. I'll have to put a little more thought into my techniques before I start beating this new version at the higher difficulty levels...

         
#47  by Veteran surther - 5/28/2003 1:28:37 PM

I wonder if the v1.35 game that I am playing will still submit. Should I go to 1.4 or finish this game and then download it??

                      
#48  by Citizen Kiwi Greg - 5/28/2003 1:30:44 PM

It *should* submit fine, all the previous versions have.

                    
#49  by Veteran surther - 5/28/2003 2:51:20 PM

Not all. I still have a save game from 1.2 that will not submit. After I patch I will try to submit that one as well.
