OK, last game was Huge, all planet options to normal mid-point setting, all victories enabled, max races, suicidal difficulty (doesn't show up in meta submission ).

Custom race - 5 pts into Diplomacy (of course ), 3 pts PQ, 2 pts Research. Populist party for more Diplo bonus.

Lesson learned - turn off Cultural victory, happens too fast! Looking at the scores of other players, it doesn't look as though the diff level has much effect on the score, and tech whoring is the way to go...

Starting conditions? Rare planets, stars, habitable planets. Small map, common anomalies. Very fast tech, 0 victory conditions on. Most civs can get at most low class planet, which makes the playing ground much more even. Drengin and Yor disabled.

Diplomacy Econ max Federalist party playing as the Iconians (last time) or Arceans (this time).

Well, here I am, and I seem to have failed to read the manual on how to submit a game to the metaverse. Scratch game 1. Off to slay more baddies I guess.

Hey Chip... Good to see ya.

... suicidal difficulty ... AND and tech whoring is the way to go...

Interesting. Surprises me that the devs let that slip by at higher difficulties given all the abuse it saw in GCI.

Dracil... Thanks for the info.

Chip/FC if you'd like to respond to the query on the Galactic Guardians in this thread...https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=345&AID=103458

I made an attempt, but I leave it to you to clarify or refute as you wish.

DG the Core seems to be trapped in a time warp of Feb 24th. New posts do not show. What's up with that?

ED i sent you an email with the info, but you need to reset your cookies

We had to update some things which upset the cookie handling of the Core..

Guys for those of you expecting to see the private forum in the Galactic Core please be a little patient. I have been extremely busy in RL over the past few days and will get to it as soon as i can.


Magnu, Chip Welcome into the fold... And yes 'By any means neccessary'

– A GCII Metaverse Empire –

OK, game one in the bag...a lousy score but not bad for my first Alliance effort. I think I'll play huge military or tech for the next one with all races and play my usually saintly morality.

Good idea Chipper, nothing like wearing a halo as you exterminate all the other races in the universe.

Guys... If you could also note what the starting conditions were... That would be very useful info I think.

By the time you finish a game so much time has passed that you expect ED to remember the starting conditions?

Ouch! True... But Ouch! :twisted:

I was not the slightest bit hurt by this until Da Moose indicated I should be. I cannot even remember the difficulty setting of my current game not even half way through.

Howdy all, how would one go about tendering a request to be included in this empire?

Definitely seems the place to be, looking forward to crushing Yor, and a bit of chatting in between.

Hey Gandalf. As simple as clicking the spinning globe on the top of this thread and clicking the box below the logo at that link. Welcome aboard!!!

May the Yor learn to regret this day.

Gandalftheredskin, welcome to our humble corner of the 'verse.

Welcome GTR! This place is starting to look like Galactic Guardians anonymous (with the occasional Canadian iniltrator) rather than the Galactic centre of diplomacy.

P.S. Only kidding DG, not trying to usurp your honourable empire in any way

Cool beans, and thanks for the welcome, guys.

I'm guessing I need to create a metaverse character before joining, will try to do that tonight or tomorrow, as well as get signed up at the Core.

I doubt that I'll get a game submitted before Sunday or so, am in the middle of some renovating of my game store, the spring cleaning bug has bitten me rather viciously. Don't know what it's like where the lot of you are, but here in Myrtle Beach, it's been beeyootiful, short sleeve weather already.

Myrtle Beach is a great place - we have some friends who retired there. Except for when the hurricanes come on shore.

Welcome aboard Gandalf, glad to have you here. Hope you enjoy the Core as much as we all do.

First the Arcean, then the Torian, next was the Thalan. And on it went... Until I had destroyed and invaded from one end of the galaxy to the other. Just to destroy the Yor before nabing a Culture victory with only the Drath remaining.

All starts at defult. Huge. 9 races. Culture Victory. 58K.

Nice job FC. What difficulty level?

Edit: (Hahaha first top of page post snagged! )
