Yes, you need to start the game in the Meta in order to post the score. Instead of clicking 'new game', click 'metaverse' instead. You have to be connected to the internet. You will be asked to create an account. This is to have a name to post your score to. The parameters you have chosen in the game will be checked; no cheats or mods are allowed, with the exception, I believe, of Kryo's. After that, start a game and play as you normally do. Play, save, play some more; and when you finish you will be prompted to post your score. (Should you chose). I might also urge you to join a 'clan'. It is a way of getting closer to the Gal Civ community, as well as a place to get great tips and strategies to make the most of the gaming experience.
