Check out Drriders post with his buggy homeworlds....he was getting multiple Precursor tiles with every start.

Sentient species taste better...

yeah, i had seen that thread, just HAD to tell the developers didn't he

its ok though! I just got (w/o cntl-n either) +300, +300, +100, +100 on Manu; and +300, +100, +100, +100 on Rsch on my HW. YAY!

Now if there was just a Econ bonus tile I'd be set. Hopefully there is an Econ resource nearby that I can claim.

I'm only playing Maso though, haven't quite got these higher levels down yet.

well hmmm, something went wrong. I think it must have happened when I flipped out of the window at some point, I don't know what else could have caused it but now my available buildings are gone and I only have a choice of 4 very basic structures. Looks like I'm gonna have to send in a save game. Does anyone remember who you send saved games too?

well damn, its worse than I thought. Its like the buildings are all gone altogether. I've quit and restarted, and even changed races, and all I'm getting is the basic four (basic factory, basic lab, entertainment center, and market center)

What's strange though is that it was working during the game, it was like everything got deleted midgame. Now to see if its just the Metaverse files or in normal games too.


EDIT: "Class, I want everyone to point and laugh at Silver for hitting the "Old" button under the structures list, and then thinking his game messed up."

I'm actually laughing at myself for being so silly. But it would have sucked majorly if it had actually happened, ya know, the buildings disappearing.

Hey Kzinti...

Found a picture I thought you might enjoy. These 2 below are looking for their inner peace to reach Nirvana! Its all about the Yin and Yang.

I would have to agree that 2 million on a 2 year small game is somewhat incredulous. AFAIK the best ever score in any previous game is my 957K DL v1.4x game which was an 8 year gigantic galaxy where I had 95% of the galaxy conquered and all of the abundant galaxy resources fully mined prior to the end of reported year 1.

In this game I had over 25,000 ships under a fully populated 24 military SB array and 16,000 of them had been upgraded to full BHE missile boat status which with my weapons and defense bonus resulted in an attack/defense rating of over 1500 per ship in addition to the 1500 per ship attack/defense increase provided by the 24 military SB array.

Overall my military rating was about 14 million for about the last 4 game years. My population reached it's final 8.4 trillion value mid point of reported year two and was held throught the rest of the game. I had the tech tree fully researched before the end of reported year 1.

Plus throughout the entire game starting from Novemeber of 2226 (DL) I had the economic prosperity event in play and my income for the last 6 years of the game was in excess of 1.6 million bc's per turn which I spent down to below 20K each and every turn.

There is no conceivable way that this kind of a score could be doubled in a 2 year small galaxy DA game without some form of exploit and/or outright cheating. Even the 2 year 500K small DA game is so far out of the realm of the reasonable as to validate an outright accusation of cheating.
