best way to increase the difficulty 10 fold without giving the AI any actual bonuses (so at Tough): Play with Blind Exploration on. Trust me, your game goes from easy to very difficult without any actual "change" in the numbers.
I need to check around, but Loupdinour encountered this about a week ago; but the Metaverse is not recognizing Ascension Victories. It lists them, but the Win is NOT counted amongst the win total, NOR is the score added in either. This seems to be a rather major issue IMO.
well, come on over; the Midwest isn't all bad, and Chicago is only 2hrs away lol
@JS: it was listed with having 0 Minor Races in the OP; unless there were supposed to be Minors? But yeah, thats how (No Minors) it was originally presented, and thats reflected in the screenshots. @Dys: sorry bud! go get drunk!
Welcome to the Kzinti, Ferrel. Glad to have at least former Olympian over here with me [e digicons]|-)[/e]
Definitely hope to see you back this round Neilo :-) @JS: You have not rolled for the A-Team or Eternal Villainy however. Wanted to bring that to yer attn. @Dys: IMO, it would be better just to have the screenies actually on this page, not just the links. It is much easier and visually appealing than a wall of text. Edit: @JS: only to realize that since A and E have 4 players there is no reason to roll the second game. So...never mind :
yeah, that was def one thing i wanted to make sure of. i "freed" everyone in the empire, and made them free agents basically. So i don't sit there and bloat the MV board when in reality i'd be an inactive empire *cough* Orcas *cough*
haha good luck KP, about half the OG were also Tyranny members [e digicons];P[/e] Actually I think Red Claw, Ferrel, and JustinSane were my only singularly-aligned members
just a testing post:
haha not to be too full of myself, but I singlehandidly brought the Colonial Fleet from 16th to 11th on the MV board just today. They're a plucky group, those Colonials [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
BTW, if any Olympians are wondering where *I* moved my characters, and possibly as to affect their decisions... I moved my primary into the Colonial Fleet. I'm a huge BSG fan, and I don't feel like being untrue to my "principles" really. I moved one character into the Kzinti out of respect for KzintiPatriarch. And moved Boilermaker back to the Tyranny- where I got my start.
its cuz im evil [e digicons];P[/e]
thanks for the welcome KP :-) As for endorsements in PM08; they will solidify your position generally amongst your strongest demographic, and then will usually sway Independents one way or another. For example, if you win the NAACP (its called something else in the game though) you'll see your vote percentage raise pretty decently in states where there are large minority populations. The Union Workers one will help solidify the Midwest.
Just like the title says Anyone in the Colonial Fleet empire still around/active?
Mourn oh fellow travelers of the stars For today, the Temple of Artemis is no more Look now onto the once glorious temple Where only ruins remain Mourn
it is because of the Ascension Vcitory. The Metaverse hasn't been updated with its code to recognize them. Its a rather large and annoying bug. Something else that needs to get added to the list of 2.0 changes.
My fellow Olympians, After a lot of thinking and pondering over the weekend, I have since decided to disband the Olympian Gods. You may have noticed that your characters are now "free". I have enjoyed my time running this empire, but there were a few reasons I came to the conclusion that I have. First, I am dismayed by the seemingly near overrunning of the MV by fake characters and empires. Secondly, I don't foresee much more long-term gr
those endorsements really make a difference Loup i know that generally the first thing I do is upgrade my HQ in my homestate (for long term income); i usually build another Campaign HQ in a battleground state such as Ohio or FL early on (usually Turn 1 or 2), build the one that gets Endorsements in a safe state; and get at least two of those Aides going as soon as possible. The Smear Agent and Spin Doctor are really useful, especially in tight places. And don't forget to f
Did you know that there is a hidden achievement medal? http://images.stardock.com/gc2/medals/AC-11.png Don't really know why I was looking at the source page for the medals, it was 2am and I have random thoughts, but yeah. Its not listed on the Legend.
Episode V: Cold Storage My first thought was: Well, I'm not dead. I figured this by two things- one I had a terrible headache so that ruled out heaven; secondly, I was freezing so that ruled out hell. Ergo, I am not dead. Now that I had the basics out of the way, I let my eyes adjust to the dim orange lit room that I seemed to be confined within. It was apparent that it was some kind of carg
in my opinion as commissioner emeritus, i would make a strong case for VegJed's game to be counted following the proposal that JS has made in point 2. but in the end, its up to you Dys
last night's episode convinced me that this should definitely be the end of Atlantis; i mean, i felt like i was rewatching a Season 1 epi all over again- hell, throw in Bates, Ford, and Weir, and it *would* have been a S1 epi lol. I like Atlantis, I really do, but if they're gonna put stuff like that up, then maybe it is time to say goodbye
absolutely great game Ragnar Glad to be on the Domination of Death
completely agreed, Motti. I did suggest to DA, that he should be locked in a room with Rosie though; though that may be a bit too harsh of a punishment
geez, Mumble, if you still wanted to play, you didn't have to use DethAdder's character [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] lol, great game DA
