Highscore

Its a must-have!

I miss high-score lists, when I've completed a game. Especially high scores like in games like Master of Magic (I still rmember the first time I got 117 percent) and Pirates...

this game screams highscore lists! Its what people talk about when they have completed the game, and it gives something to strive for as well.

so, in short - give us highscores, please

I actually like when strategy games retain high score lists. This would get my vote as well, so long as some meaningful kind of score can be determined for a playthrough of Elemental. I'd even get a kick out of a metagame similar to how Galactic Civilization 2 has for playing "ranked" games.

How did you get 117% on MoM?

 

I once won 87 -0 in Tecmo super bowl.  The quarters are "5 min" unadjustable. 5 min is in quotes because 1 second of real time = 3-4 seconds of game time.

I always get a giggle from Civilization's scoring system, where you get a title "the Terrible", "The Conquerer", "The Pathetic" excetera, based on your score.

the same way that Pirates did it - I still rememember the first time I got a score there - low 30's I think, and it was accompanied by a text that said that "You die a lonely, bitter man" :-D

I like how they added Score List to Galc Civ II. Maybe we will get one for Elemental on release.

Since its been a while since I suggested this the last time, here we go again.

I'd love a highscore list of some sorts, not unlike what MoM had to make sharing stories of the game more interesting. Well,. my first post basically says it all. Just wondering when something like this has to be incorporated into the code before it gets too difficult.

Also, Brad has mentioned elsewhere that you will get world achievements for some reasearch - does this extend to the Xbox style achievements as well? That would be kinda interesting to have achievements in a game like this as well, actually.

Can I ask this question again? Is there a hi-score list anywhere (I have version 1.2)? What's the point of having scores if they're not listed?

I love highscores.

 

One of my main motivations for playing Heroes of Might & Magic II was the highscore list.
