For a Whale of a good time, join the "B.C. Space Orcas"

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just when you think you have conquered a planet, out from behind its' sun come a hoard of gigantic Doom-Ray equiped killer whales. This is enough to send even the most fierce Drengin running with his tail between his legs. I invite new and experienced players to join with me to take a run at the top. I have found different ways to beat the game at the suicidal level and am willing to give advice to anyone that wants it. I will change my meteverse name if someone joins my empire that is ahead of me 5 months after the recalc. The first 20 players to reach 100,000 points on the metaverse will become senators. You will be given no duties to perform except to have fun and help all of us reach the top. We now have a website. It can be found at WWW Link Come one come all. Bye for now. TBAY

We're number #1! We're number #1! Time to see if I can post a couple 100,000 point games and help in that 500,000 point buffer...

Congratulations everyone!!!!!!! The Diplos woke up the sleeping whale, and we responded quickly and effectively. Hopefully we can continue attracting the quality players that joined us after the the Diplos surpassed us. Lets enjoy our new medal, but I assure you they will not give up easily. They still have almost twice the active membership that we do. If they start second or third characters, they have the capability to post scores quickly. Again, a masterful job done by everyone. Lets put some space between them so we can give our Doom Rays a rest as they are really Smokin' right now. Bye for now and keep up the good work. TBAY

That's very sportsman-like and humble of you Fuels Chief. I hope our Empire would return the favor should yours surpass us again.

"So what happens now?"

"We face each other as God intended, sportsmanlike, no tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."

You mean that you'll put down your harpoon and I'll but down my Doom Ray and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people?"

Errrm...no can't see that happening. Better keep those Doom Ray's hot. The diplo's should know Doom Ray beats Harpoon every time.

Meglobob's tip of the day:-


No. 9

Information is power.

As soon as u come into contact with another race, put yr espionage slider on that race to the lowest level, usually 1 - 3 bc's at this early stage of the game. This will automatically increase in proportion to yr economy, probably to 200+ bc's.

U will eventually achieve advanced level of espionage on that race. Effectively u have 100% info on that race. This is crucial, to give u a huge advantage in any war.

Effectively u know where an enemies tech. capital, manufacturing capital, precursor mines, librarys, hyperion shrinker and loads of other stuff is. Those r prime targets in any war, take those out and the enemy is as good as dead.

congrats.

Fuels Chief is certainly a man of few words. Congratulations are indeed in order, if only perhaps for the limited time it takes us to regain the lead.

Hey you guys, way to go!   

It's good to see another empire that's active and has a pulse. (Read that as "folks who care about the game")

As Weyr mentioned earlier, you're all welcome to join the Galactic Core WWW Link where we have set up a NON-EMPIRE based site devoted to fans of the game. Feel free to come in and get to know us a bit better.

Starbases to the left, starbases to the right.

It is possible to have 4 starbases per sector. 16 starbases can overlap 1 planet. There effects r cumlative. 16 maxed out economy starbases overlapping yr tech, manufacturing capitals, precursor mines, librarys has a extremely powerful effect. 16 starbases muliply by nearly 400% tech pts or manu pts, so 300 for example becomes 1500. 1 all powerful dreadnought per turn anyone?

No. 11

To score the most metaverse points u should play with those settings:-

Galaxy size - Gigantic.
Habitable Planets - Abundant.
Number of planets - Abundant.
Number of stars - Abundant.
Star density - Loose clusters.
Anomalies - Abundant.
Tech rate - Very fast.
Military conquest victory only enabled.
Suicidal level.
Maximum number of opponents.

U do not score extra points for using intensive algorithms, disabling tech trading etc..., so u may as well leave them unchecked for a high score.

Be the ultimate arms dealer.

When tech trading with a AI, always trade for the most powerful weapon in there arsenal and once u have a deal for that, the AI will throw all previous weapons techs leading upto that one in for free. So even if u get ripped off in this deal, u can more than make up for it by trading those lesser techs to the other major and minor races.

Example, the AI has Graviton Driver, trade for this and u can have singularity driver IV, III etc for free. Then trade mass driver theory upwards to any race which has not got them for more tech, money etc...

Unlucky for some.

But not u, if u choose to be exceptionally lucky, a +25% luck bonus for a meagre 1 abilty pt has to be the bargain of a lifetime in GC2. No matter what race u play, try to have some luck, over yr entire game it will make a difference. Other ways to get luck r play Torians +10 and Altarians +30 free luck bonuses. Also the Universalists party gives u +25 luck, with the additional +5 economics, +10 pop. growth and +10 defense being a nice addition.

Go on, buy yr lucky charm today.

  Way to go Syrrus.  

Noticed the main diplo players seem unable to post really high scores  

Must be too much jaw, jaw and not enough blasting the opposition with doomrays.

The perfect 1st turn?

Put industrial capacity upto 100%.

Put taxes down to where yr homeword is at 100% approval.

Rush buy a factory on yr homeworld, build it on highest manufacturing bonus tile, do not be scared of building on a precursor mine. If u have high research bonus tiles ie...precursor library or 300%, rush build lab instead. Factorys r more important early on than labs, so u can churn out hordes of colony ships.

Set tech research to 100%.

Research impulse drive or tech leading to impulse drive.

Move starting colony ship to homeworld, put 500m citizens on board.

If moon less than PQ 8 do not colonise. If 8, ie...u playing the Korx colonise it. Consider same early rush buy strategy outlined for homeworld. Otherwise move colony ship towards closet cluster of star systems, aim to colonise highest PQ planet ASAP.

Flagship hopefully moves directly opposite yr colony ship for max. exploration but only if a star system or two r there to explore. It's main mission is anomalies, secondary mission revealing location of new worlds to colonise.

  U have just got off to a great start, good luck.
