Are you coming out with your own planet names, Gengsta?

Hey H5O,
Just noticed your anomalous score is gone. How did you do it? We have a brother, Alex, who needs help on his.

Does anyone know if the game switches the alignments of the races? I set the Torians to chaotic good and on the foreign relations stats screen they show as nuetral.
I set the drengins to chaotic evil and they show correctly as just evil. Every other alignment is correct as well.
Is the game balancing power in the universe based on the alignment I chose?
Thanks in advance for your explanations.

Yes, AIs apparently get events too so their alignments can change, though most of the time I find them retaining the alignment I set for them throughout the game.
In the Xpack, there would be a random event which allows instantanous switch in alignment.

Don't get your question here. Can you elaborate?
| |
|
The drengin's have few systems, and the evil Arceans have a sizable empire. The nuetral Yor are stuck in a corner. My empire is large and I am chaotic good this game. If the torians were good as well, good would have more power in the galaxy since the torians are as big as I am in terms of systems. 
So I thought maybe the game was balancing good and evil. 
Probably just random though. 
Forgot to mention that the saintly altarians are few in systems as well.

Don't think the game does that on purpose, Miles.
| |
|
Okay, it just seemed strange. I had thought the alignments were purely static. Thanks.

I was cleaning out my saved games when I came across an early save for that map. I played it to the point where I could win an Alliance victory and then sent it off. I didn't want to go for the Military because I'd already wasted X amount of time on it in the first place, only to get an Anomalous reading.
I'm not one to throw good time after bad lightly. But it worked out for the best, I got rid of my zero.
What I'd recommend to Alex is to hold on to the save game until he upgrades to 1.09 (or 2.0 when the X-Pack comes out), and then try again. I submitted the original game at least 3 times under 1.05 trying to get it to work, but no love. But submitting it with 1.09 did the trick, after the replay.

I thought you received divine assistance, H5O.
Too bad for Alex, I think he deleted his save already.
| |
|
Too bad. I had no idea I still had a copy of that game, else I'd be out of luck as well.
I don't normally keep copies of my save games. I have just a few slots that I use over and over:
"At The Beginning"
"Time For Bed"
"Wife Wants Attention"
But this game I had saved as "Time For Work", I'm not sure why. Had my Luckstone in my pocket, I guess.

I'm saving my game now as "Time for Lunch".

| Great names for your games, HFO. I'll probably be playing less often than you during classes and adopting a similiar system. |
|
Thanks.
Actually, the way the Metaverse groups games based on time works in our favor. There's a point of diminishing returns we don't see, compared to a player that submits 5 games a week.
And beyond that, I try to play for fun, not score. Though I find myself tempted by the power of the One Ring on occasion.
