I don't think anyone knows. If so, they haven't shared it with the community. In my experience difficulty is not the issue. The matter is how you approach the game. When you need a boom, it happens. When you kick ass and take names, it doesn't. I don't think its random, in the truest sense.

[quote quoting="post"] I DID in fact want a higher score...... So being new to metaverse I'm assuming a higher difficulty will lead to this [/quote] Know the feeling. You're correct about the difficulty level. Bigger maps, more planets, more everthing impoves score. The economy dictates score.

[quote who="Ferrel" reply="3748" id="2419612"] I had 10K 1/1 tinies. I'm upgrading them piece meal, to 25/70, until I get to around 8K. Then I'll try a mass upgrade. I can upgrade around 100 per turn, and am almost to the 8K mark. If that doesn't work I'll upgrade piece again until 7K and try it then. [/quote] Gotcha. Makes sense.

Reply to How do you decide where to place your ships during peacetime? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="MechaGodzill" reply="2" id="2418987"]...but even during times of war, are you generally better off placing your fleets on your starbases or orbiting your planets? or neither? [/quote] In time of war and peace (no pun) I place fleets on a perimerer around the part of the galaxy I have/attacking. It's basic military tactics. If you've played war games, follow your instinct. I don't use military starbases (for attack or defense) if thats what you meant.&nbsp

Anyway, not doing to bad for my first giga.[/quote] Those events make it more fun. Sounds like you doin good. Have you decided what to do about the upgrade? A one turn upgrade will certainly max military, probably overall score. If you can't upgrade than many ships there are alternatives.

Reply to Problem with Overheating in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

GeneralEtrius....I too had recent problems with shutdown (power down). Mine was CPU overheating. As Spooky said, don't think GPU would cause a shutdown. Speedfan will give both temps and sit in the tray. Use a gas duster to clean the heatsink(s).
