Hi all, just thought is snoop around the old forums for a bit and see whats new, if anything. Thought maybe the addition of GC2 to steam might liven things up a bit, have to watch, but have any of you guys seen an MV increase?

In any case, hope all the old hats are well!

Hi KP!
No, the forums are gone. it was a paid forum and renewal time was upon us, and we had zero activity, so time to move on. i backed them up and when the time comes (read that as GC3 ever being released) we will set it all back up again.

Everyone has gone their own way, and im in need of a community so i thought id start coming back round here and see who was about.
Any games anyone is playing that has a good community? I've just started Anno 2070, but haven't checked out the forums, i was into SC2 for some time, but we all know what the blizzard forums are like, far too hard core for me!

Ill be around for a bit, if i can sort out my impulse issues i might even play some GC2.

be well

I have noticed more GC2 specific threads. Shame of it all is, iv'e forgotten more about the game then i care to admit, so i can't even partake in GC2 discussions!

DA 1.8G. I have it archived.

Yup, we had many a discussion in the TOE forums when DA 2.0 came out (i think that was the next update after 1.8g), anyway, when 1.8g was superseded and the planet count was culled we discussed is it fine to never update and use the version of the game with the most planets.
I guess we were looking at it from a "is this in the spirit of the MV" point of view. IIRC we pretty much concluded that as long as everyone knows they dont have to update and that the MV would keep on accepting older versions, you could play 1.0 if you so felt.

So many of us archived and never updated.

Another similiar discussion we had was about the MCC. remember when it had a 100% econ bonus, or still might in DA. We again said should we keep playing with it, or play with the nerfed version. i dont recall the details as such, maybe its just in TA that the nerf came in, but anyway, both topics were greatly discussed.

And now as i type this SS, i think it might have been 1point8C. I'd have to check my archives, i do recall 1point8C being buggy though, but i don't recall why. Pathfinder maybe??

I'm going to reinstall GC2 and play a game or two, but i'll "play" not work at it so maybe a giga abundant all and colonize the hell out of it!

I haven't checked out Anno 2070 but I got hold of a copy of Distant Words - Lengends. I like the way the planets move around the sun in top view and the Character bonuses, that is a plus! 

Somebody should put all the best of parts of 4x games into super game where the planets moved around the sun and the galaxy moved around the center and also in 3D plus 4x.   

Happy New Year!

Well I've been mainly playing Lord of the Rings Online, with a ZYW here and there, still trying to increase my record a bit.  An MMORPG is not really my genre, but some of my friends play, and it is now free-to-play.  I've been having a good time with it, but might be done with it soon.

They never did "fix" the MCC in any DA version...it still has the 100% econ bonus.

Sentient species taste better...

Just wondering about how the kzin used 1/1 tiny fighters (shills) in their high score games, if at all. Motti and myslef were discussing their usefulness in the ToE thread and i was curious how you guys went about them.

Ask Zree-Ritt about getting over 200,000 scores in 0 years. Maybe he can help out?

We are in battle over the 14th place star system, well so far Zree-Ritt is winning the battle against my fleets. He sits with a slow but strong fleet so I have to hit and run because I can't go toe to toe with his ships. My ships are faster but I'm taking more damage. After each battle I have to regroup in the 15th place star system and then attack again. I fight a good fight! Good Hunting Zree-Ritt!

Not sure if this has been said before, but obviously this universe lacks Lyrans

As opposed to Unknown Space.

May I run this by you all and then you all can chew on the bone! Tell me what you think?

I know you are looking for different ways to play but have you ever consider playing as a good.  If you wanted to, you may take a new or low level character and join my little Empire.

My goal is being active, not the score itself, anyway you may remove your character any time you want because it will not bother me one way or another.    Also it would help me to get some answers on how to improve on my longer games as being good and not my one hour cheese games ( with help of AutoHotKey) I have been playing, Your insight on the game is a lot better than mine and the advice would help the new players on my empire thread running as good characters plus the activity would be a bonus for both of us.

Maybe by doing this will stir up much needed talk.
