I'm in the Green Party, GW. The gay dudes are great for finding good women. You're still welcome at the Empire of Standards. Re one of Wheel's other tangents, I must categorically scoff the notion of any particular "victory" being "cheese" b/c a game like this is complicated enough to make a fool of anyone trying to predict "the" reason any particular player wou
Yeah, I was tired when I wrote #24. I read #25 early in the morning. I thought you were from Swicord's Gay Mafia. The lull set in and I couldn't stand it. I completely fail at seeing how players can rack up monster scores and retain their sanity. OCD, methinks. Anyway... I executed a trade embargo to toss the Yor into poverty and then I stepped on N-1's throat and didn't let up until

Happened on DL at tough twice to me in my last game. I was at war with the Drath and, after taking two planets, one of their resource bases inexplicably disappeared. There was no "avoidance" involved. I have no idea why the AI would conclude that a relatively well protected resource should go in the middle of a war. While all the resource types are important, getting rid of a morale base seems really stupid.
Are you hijacking this thread? Do you have anything to contribute to the subject? And for your "voice of experience" remark, as a matter of fact, yes, winning a military victory on a huge map against an intelligent AI is the voice of experience. Try something above cakewalk, asshat.
Just finished a conquest victory on huge/tough. Never played a non-sports game more than once. I played GC2 three times and won three different ways. I love the game but all good things come to end. Only scenarios will keep the experience alive. I'm totally burned from huge. I don't want to know what gigantic is like. Anyway... scenarios or DA retail--whichever comes first--will probably renew my interest. Peace.
Thanks for confirming that you are just a sad little troll. Lighten up, man. Why don't you check my comment history before deciding if I'm a troll? I play rough, yes. Troll, no. The suicide recommendations for the OP did go too far and I was warned by kryo. It hasn't happened since. What else do you want?
the AI would be having a lot more combats. Yes... and don't forget: All your base are belongs to us.
Wheel, that second one was great! /Me takes a bow. Thank you, thank you.
At any rate, establishing a moonbase today based on this kind of speculation would be pretty darned goofy. The US hasn't demonstrated rational foresight on these kind of things. Bush pulled out of the Outer Space Treaty of 1969 and one of his first acts was to establish the Space Forces as a new branch of the Armed Services. The US will
The capitalist forces of evil are at work in the field of deuterium. Check today's Wired: WWW Link The senator is a motherfrakkin troll. Check his comments on why we must go to the moon. It will be just like leaving Africa, d00d. It just so happens that he is the energy industry whore pushing for deuterium mining facilities, the elimination of the Moon Treaty and annexing it (like Ant
It wasn't deuterium. It was dilithium in Star Trek. Getting back to reality, deuterium must be our next fuel source because there's nothing else. Petroleum powers everything. The moon is practically made of deuterium and uranium. The big problem is that to get it, we need to scoop up the surface, heat the sand and dump it back out. With the currently scarred and ragged face of the moon, a full moon is 10 times brighter than any other phase. Imagine if corporate Ame

And you say I am stricken with fraktardation? Yes, I do.
Get hooked on phonics. Good advice. Maybe you should try it. Unless you're a complete fraktard, you won't say I-raqi, I-ranian or I-talian. The "I" in those words is more of an "ah." So you have the Dominion of Iraqis. Deal with it.
Something like dilithium crystals could serve to restrain naval fleet sizes. Seriously, once everybody has over 100 ships, you're in for a LONG game. If each ship needed a rare crystal to function, things would be more manageable. I'm never playing gigantic again after I'm done with this particular map.
Too much wine tonight.
Ok... one question: who was interviewed? It says Scott at the beginning of the article and concludes with "Thanks, Jason!"
This game is challenging enough that the military victory isn't necessarily the best one. Diplomatic is a tough one to get. Influence gets bad press here as "simple" but it's quite expensive and hard to do without triggering a war and getting a bunch of bases destroyed in the process. I personally turn off the "technology victory" because it doesn't seem fun. Looks more like a way out of a long game.
Dominion of Arrakis Dominion of Iraqis?
Who's to say that the pirate's might not use the ships you give them to attack you? Turnabout is fair play. Mumble, I'm thinking of a word... 8 letters... starts with "f", ends with "d." While you're contemplating that, know that you incorrectly used "turnabout is fair play." The correct usage is when someone does somet
Scrap the cap. That's one player limitations that makes absolutely no sense. Is it a programming issue? I understand that the money should be used. Maybe tie funds above $x to morale drops the same way that going in the red does. With too much money, the tax payers sense corruption. There's always a social project to pay off. It doesn't need a hard cap.
I let you pass in the last thread about cheating. You said you played GC1 and you just wanted to test the game banned take planets. I'm on double secret probation from kryo for the way I handled my response. Why would you think there's tactical in the game? Probably because you're not just a cheater but a liar and a troll as well. Go away.
Extreme, At levels above normal, I doubt the AI would tolerate raping them for bonus hit points. Your game would be a LOT shorter than 29 years if you attempted that. Do you have OCD? Why would you play one game for 29 years of game time? My total over three Metaverse games is 20 years. Before the third one gets submitted, that might be 21 or 22. But that's TOTAL. Your exploit/strategy is contrived and useless in 99.9% of games.
Log a game on challenging instead of cakewalk and you'll get your rank. It won't be simple. Not as much as you think anyway.
Extreme, Why don't you stfu and complete a game in the Metaverse at something above normal before you go suggesting difficulty levels? When you don't cheat, the computer has a really good chance of beating idiots like you. There are already too many difficulty levels. There are many serious, legitimate changes people want for this game. Your ideas don't crack the top 1000. A hammer? Melee in space? Sonic wave in a vacuum? Fraktarded.
