Hmm, I would have expected Stardock to allow earlier versions to submit; after all, they have plenty of copies of the 1.0 version still being sold in stores, so they've got to be getting at least a few new people each week trying to submit scores from really old versions.
On the other hand, if you're running 1.35 and you've got a 1.2 game, maybe the 1.35 version doesn't want to submit it...

I just patched my current game ( Huge painful). Everything looked fine, the War with the Yor is going ok, they got more ships ( battleships) but i got the better ones ( dreadnought's). I needed an influx of cash so i decided to trade ( +63 in dip ) with the minors races. First i try my friends the scottlings who i do most trade with, put up Frictionless Clothing ( didnt want to give em any Weapons tech at this time) i try for 100 for 10 months. NO good, ends up they only want to give me 256 for my trade good. So i try the I league, they have Exotic Alloys tech, i want that, so i put up Frictionless Clothing again. NO trade. I put Ultra Spices aswell, still no trade. i throw in all my trade goods (Frictionless Clothing, Ultra Spices, Diplomatic Translators,Gravity Accelerators, Tri-Strontium Steel) still no trade  . Unless this was a bug, or glitch, What use are trade goods for there price now.

Yeah, the trade goods have definitely been made less expensive. I can see why they did it; I've been using the trade goods to survive at Masochist levels before now -- you never needed to research anything, if you could just somehow pick up a few trade goods and pass them out among the various aliens to pick up huge amounts of tech.
So yeah, Trade Goods are a whole lot less powerful than they were before. (And for me at least, I'm having a whole lot more trouble getting anywhere at Masochist level now...) But I think this does make for a better balanced game.

Are the The Culture really in front of us in the metaverse? i looked at there scores and i dont think they have a combined overall of 24000+.
| |

Yeah, it looks like the empire db is still in the process of being cleaned up. (Quite possibly, the player db is still in process as well, down further in the ranks.)

Awww Soulwould. I'll say Hi to ya.
Save that game you're losing. Then when you only have 15 minutes or so to play at a time, load it up. You may be able to salvage something out of it. Then during your normal play, work on another game.

Now now, surther. No need to get all flustered over some old men with walking sticks. We are harmless, really...
