I joined about a year and a half ago (I think). If you go through the old strategy forums, you can find all sorts of things.

Stardock has stopped most support for GC I. Some of us are still around, it just takes a while to check in...
It depends on how you play. It also depends on how long you want to play. A tech victory is easy once you killed most of everyone, but it takes time after that point. Killing that last planet would be quicker.
Or you could use two separate attacks, first one with Tidal/Gas. You want to NOT take over the system with this first attack. It softens the defense with the extra attacks, but since you did not actually take the planet, there will be no penalties. Then attack normally.
I was able to put a combat transport between it and my space station. It did not move until tens of turns later when I killed it with a warhammer.
Can you trade for Battleship tech? You can trade with minors for that (I always try to)
I never get the GSE, but I always get Dip Trans, Eyes of the Universe, Tri-Quan training and Galactic Expedition. I sometimes get Galactic Monument.
But what would cause them at time to go all the way from "warm" to War? I could understand if they were already hostile...
There are times when I am playing, things are going ok, I save and then come back to it. Instead of having the Altarians still Warm in terms of their relationship to me, they immediately declare war. What gives? If I want to not have war I have to go back to the next recently saved position. It seems to be a glitch that favors those who play for hours at a time.
OK, so is this problem fixed or what? I have been away from the ability to post. I do not want to save games if I can't post them
But we have to fix the problem with being able to submit TO the Metaverse first...
Well at least now I know it is not just me being here overseas....
And still no resolution. Have I tried to submit this one game too many times? I have gone back to earlier save files and went forward from there, still did not work. Any other suggestions?
Tried the second day, still no joy. WIll try again tonight.
I finished a normal game and tried to submit it to Metaverse. It did not give any error messages, but I do not see the new game in my scores. I have tried several times, thinking it was my connection. What is wrong?
If you think that us Americans are cruel to the environment, you should pay attention to India and China. They have virtually no environmental rules at all. The air is much worse there.
Go to the Empires section, then to the Jedi Empire thread there. Waldorf2000 and I are still there.
What kind of help do you need?
test, never had a personal icon on posts before
OK thanks. Are there any other differences between Metaverse between GalCiv I and GalCiv II?
I was playing a game, forgot that I had not created my character. I stopped playing, chreated my character, and finished my first game. The game did not load to my character. What did I do wrong?
Is it a good Idea to have a lot of wonders on Earth or spread them out? Things like Hyperion Shipyard and the Omega ship I have been putting the same planet, typically Earth. Is it good to keep them together or split them up on different planets?
And I liked that older version because Constructors cost less... Had I played the same game on 1.22 (which I have on my desktop), I would have gone up 20-30 places in Metaverse, instead of going back 3.
I have old version of Galciv I (ver 1.021) installed on my laptop that I use when I am away from home. After finishing a Painful game (Mil Victory) that really was painful :) I hooked the laptop to the Internet to add my score. It said that my score was 2400 or so. I thought that was odd, that maybe the real score was 24000 and the last zero was truncated. When I looked at my metaverse score, it was 642! WTF?!?!?!? Well this brought down my ranking. Did using the older version do
Things may happen in the game as a result of UP decision (transports get attack values), Random Events (Fundamentalists) or Luck (Lucky Ranger early on in the game) that make the game much easier to win. As long as I still win after 2190, will such good things affect my score? Also, are there any players still playing GalCiv I (not AP) that are in the top 100 plaayers? It seems like most people in the top 100 got their games in AP/are no longer playing....
