I recently began playing GC again, and was interested to see how the Metaverse has progressed. What are some opinions on the most impressive victory type? I'm not talking about scoring, just which type is the most difficult in the game. I believe winning the beyond human way on the upper difficulty levels while trying to remain peaceful in nature is the most difficult way to win. It seems like alliance victories are the easiest and quickest. Any other opinions? -Zen

Do you remember what version that took place? -Zen
Has anyone played a game that had a life force resource present?
Looking at some scores, I have noticed "Suicidal" as a difficulty level for 1.05 in one on my empire's scores (Dark Assassin's). What is that setting? It is not on your list of levels. I hope the Terran Federation may be included in this calculation soon, when we quailfy. -Zen
The expansion has begun. I have recruited my brother to join the cause, now your dealing with two of us. -Zen
I was thinking of playing a game where I don't colonize any planets other than Earth, just for kicks. Obviously I couldn't play the upper difficulty levels, but I wonder if I could win at cakewalk. If I needed to invade a foreign planet, I would pull out the mass drivers and toast it. Has anyone else tried this? If so, what size map and yellow planet density? Certianly, the smaller the map the easier it would be. -Zen
I like the idea, it's manifest destiny applied now to the universe.
Welcome dark, you could head the undergound part of the empire that everyone knows is there, but no one ever discusses. We're still pretty small, but growing! By the way, to everyone out there... Is the Huge filter ever going to work? I've seen it mentioned many times, has it ever worked? -Zen
What about a united group of adventurers molding the galaxy to suit Earth's needs? We exist for the benefit of mankind.
What kinds of themes do you have in mind? It seems like the Earth is a central idea.
Thanks for the promotion, Sarcasto, now we just need to rally the troops.

If you notice, the symbol is not a target, but looks a lot more like crosshairs from the scope of a gun. Perfect for taking aim. I like the new flag and it fits the empire title. If we wanted, we could change the color of the symbol or the background. -Zen
Here is a link that has all the planetary symbols: http://www.wisdomwithin.org/wisdom/astrology/planetsymbols.html [Message Edited]
Sarcasto, I e-mailed you a picture of the symbol, let me know what you think. There are a couple of themes we could do with it. -Zen
What about the Greek symbol for the earth? -Zen
I'm in, Sarcastro, nothing like fighting for the little guy.
