Harborne did nothing with score, it was Spacetimer...and another name i do not recall. Harbone cheated with the sue of multiple characters tied to one registration. something like 12 characters to the normal three. His scores were nothing. And AFAIK, the checksums did not show a hex edit prior to 2.0. One could simply hex the score value and be done with it. At 2.0 Cari put in place a check to see if the file had been hexed, no matter what the edit was. I'm a bit fuz

I have no idea what your saying sorry. All i can do is repeat myself, but since i really could care less if Harbourne came back and dropped in a 3M+ ZYW that didn't flag i'll just forget it. Seriously, not being an ass, i do not understand your questions/comments.

I don't play any ZYW's anymore. (and i still maintain that a "typical" ZYW ends on April 8.) I'm interested still in the mechanics of high scoring games, but they don't qualify as fun for me, and that's what i want out of GC2 these days.. :) Oh and Mina, Maiden666's game is flagged. Just fyi. If we are counting flagged games i can have a 5M+ ZYW done in about 1 hour...done it before, just never bothered subbing it. (Also 10M+ 1 year ga

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="3338" id="3127409"]The one thing I want for GC3 is a Mod Metaverse.[/quote] Agreed. We tried to do something like this with the MVC just after the Altmeta was done, but by then the community had already subsided. Love to see it happen in GC3, but at this point, i'd settle for GC3 in any form. Perhaps after FE fails they might visit GalCiv again.

I'm not playing for score at all, just for fun, but in particular in new and different ways. That being sad, i'm still going to have to do that within the confines of tyranny and treachery. Im all for game talk, and there shouldn't be any game secrets anymore, so any question i can answer i will. :) [hr] Played out my latest game, it's a reply of the game i was talking about in the Game Thread. I won't post about in there, that thread has g

I've been using Vamps Razor X for a few weeks now, very clean skin with some great button work, as one would expect. :) No idea where i got the wall, i have quite a collection of futuristic/armageddon cities, something about them absolutely fascinates me.

I never did bother with WoW. I am looking to get SWTOR though. I've been messing with SC2 a little, played a bit of league, but just prefer to mess about with friends. Waiting not so patiently for Diablo II though..... :)

[quote who="ragaril" reply="31" id="3117939"]as you said before the romulan warbird is difficult to build. anything more "edgy" will be a lot easier. i guess my next ship will be a klingon vor'cha class.

I've come across some good examples of how dumb the AI can be over the years, but i think this one takes the cake. Look at the screenshot and remember this is a suicidal game, where "Ultimate" Intelligence is at play. If there is to be a GC3, and i hope there is one day, i do hope Brad really pushes the AI. What dumb things are you seeing from the AI in your games?

Reply to Influence in GalCiv 1 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think the mechanics between GC1 and GC2 are compatible, and more importantly, i don't think there is anyone on these forums who plays GC1 anymore, besides yourself i guess. Many of the old timers who came over from GC1 hve left the forums many years ago. Aegix is correct in that is how it works in GC2. I have never played GC1 so i cannot say how or even if Influence factors income. I'd say the only persons on the boards that could answer it would be
