| Congrats to FOTR for 2 million. When GROSS got 1 million before anyone else, I was determined to try to help FOTR read 2 million first so this is very sweet. OK, it's off to 3 million for the FOTR. |

We are really kicking grossling butt now with the biggest-ever lead of 1/4 million pts (it would have been 1/2 million if Cotal and FriendJosh were still with us).
I would still be contributing regularly to our empire score since Fleet Admiral is still not within reach.

I've calculated that I would break 400k if I play another 7 Maso Gigantics over the next 3 weeks.
Hopefully that would give me my Fleet Admiral.

Cotal-bot can take the top spot from me at her lesuire. There is no way an old bot like myself can keep up with her work-rate.
She can have the gold, I'm gunning for Fleet Admiral now.

I do research it but usually after my colonization phase. It's more for convienence to see where all the AI worlds are rather than manually using the diplomacy screen. Despite what I said in my Galciv blog about AIs buying this tech, it's value is really low both for trading and as a gift.

Damn it vincible! I INSIST you stay on small maps...at least give me someone to fence with for a little longer! Ah well...the maso effect rules - and congrats on your fine play lately!
Ray - 7 maso gigantics...should take about three days, no?

Raybot doesn't have Cotalbot's game-acceleration routines.
The only consolation Raybot has is that in the movies, the old models usually terminate the newer ones.

Anyone wants to post some not-so-dry stuff in our thread?
How about some "The AI is cheating at Maso" posts? Those are always good for a laugh.

Ok, I redid the numbers and found that I could get up to 400k if I submitted a Maso Gig every other day for 2 weeks. Unlikely that I will be playing so hard though.

Wombat throws bucket of water over Ray to solve his dehydration problem.
AND the blasted AI CHEATS at maso!!

Shocking! I will never play another Stardock game for as long as I live.
Seriously, there is a bug in the game which allows AIs of any morality to build trade centres once you research The Better Way. So feel free to sell or trade that tech once you get it.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! A BUG IN THE GAME!!! [Wombat runs screaming from his computer cave....]
Cotal: I am NOT the expert, but I doubt there is an 'optimum' rate of submission; I think the issue is to optimise the QUALITY of your submissions, i.e. make each individual game score as high as possible...you know how to do that, dont you? Hmm?

I've just downloaded the Warlords IV demo. I have to say the graphics are really nice. Though the AI is certainly most important factor for me, the graphics of a game shouldn't be that far off the market. I'm thinking about SD's fantasy TBS game - Elemental as I say this.

| Why don't you just use the minimap "population" option? |
|
That's true. I always forget about that. Most of the time I just leave that off.
