I would like you all to welcome our newest Orca. Please give a rousing ovation for ShrineGuard. I think ShineGuard might be a lady, so behave guys. I am basing this on the picture for your character. Please correct me if I am wrong. Anyways Shrineguard is a new player so please help with any questions She/he might have about the game. Bye for now. TBAY

Thank-you for joining our empire. Welcome to the Orcas. If you have played turn based games before you should not have too much difficulty starting at around the normal level on a medium map. If you are just getting started don't worry. Start at one of the easiest levels on a small or tiny map until you get a feel for the game. Also, if you go to my original recruiting post " For a Whale of a good time join the B.C. Space Orcas" you will find a lot of game advice. Post any questions you ha

Devast. The first thing I would suggest is to join our empire. The main things that influece your score are population, military strength, economy and research. Read some of our empires posts,(this is our thread) and you will find a lot of advice as to different strategies to increase your scores. And Jarru. Your Dillema is the reason why I am starting with another character. It seems that the longer you play with a character the more penalties they throw at you. With my original character

I am glad to support everyone on this post. I have been trying for months to draw the devs attention to the problems with the Metaverse and I Haven't received even one acknowledgement that they have read my posts. Lets keep this thread active and maybe they will notice that there really is a problem. Also playing on suicidal level is not rewarded enough. I can play a game in half the time on crippling and receive almost the same score, sometimes even higher. Bye for now TBAY.

Welcome Syrrus K. Thanks for the tips about military. I very rarely leave my fleets in orbit, I usually have them guarding my perimeters. I think it is a much better strategy to guard the borders of your territory than wait until the enemy is on your doorstep to fight. You are right though, the game only rewards you for the ships you have in orbit so I lose a lot of military points. By for now TBAY

Norad. What was your population at the end of that game. I have finished a gigantic map on suicidal with 2.8 trillion people, amassed 2,000,000 BC and had the tech tree maxed in less than 9 years and scored 20,000 points less than your last game played on crippling. The only thing i can see is that you ran it out 0ver 20 years. They told us that there would be a penalty for over-extending games. By looking at your score, I would say not. I suspected this and am glad you proved it for me.

Norad. Good to see you are still with us. If you are playing with a new character, add it to the empire and keep your current character there. I now have 2 characters in the empire. My second one is Spontaneous Combustion. I think you can add many different Characters to the same empire. When I play 5 games with this Character I will Create a 3rd and add it to the empire. Our empire's total score will increase faster this way, and we will attract more players as it looks like we have more

I would like to welcome our newest Orca. Please give a big hand to floris2burn. Welcome aboard. I will make you a Senator. If you can keep your score in the top 20 within our empire you will keep your senator seat. Bye for now. Tbay

Syrrus K You don't need to know anything. Just go to the Metaverse, Click on The B.C. Space Orcas, and then click on join empire. We welcome everyone. The top 20 players will be made senators. Since we don't have 20 yet, you will automatically be a senator. All we ask is that you have fun and at least a bit of a competitive spirit to help us reach the top. We have gone from 21st to fifth in the last 2.5 weeks. With your help we will crack the top 3 soon. Bye for now TBAY

Hi Jarru. I know that it will be a major challenge of my abilities and stamina to catch you. Watch out for Spontaneous Combustion. He might just be able to catch you. As for advice, what are all the pregame settings you like to use? The easiest way to beat the top levels is with diplomacy maxed out and tech trading on. Trade techs with everyone for other techs and cash. Then trade the newly aquired techs for more cash. Take a look at one of my earlier posts, # 27. It has a long pregame

I am looking for fellow Canadians, although you don't have to be Canadian, to join our empire The B.C. Space Orcas. all you have to have is a love for killer whales with Doom-rays. If your empire does not work out, you are more than welcome to join ours and help Norad develope our site. Our empire has grown from 21st place to 5th in the last 2 weeks. If you join now and help me recruit I will make you a senator and we will reach the very top soon. Think about it and bye for now. TBAY

I would like to welcome our newest member Gallagher118 to our ever growing empire. With his score added to the existing scores and Jarru's latest score we now have a solid lock on 5th place in the Metaverse. 2 weeks ago we were in 21st. I think we should be proud of our accomplishment. This does not mean we can slack off though. No. 3 is in our sights. That would give all of us a new medal. Orca 777, Can you and Norad figure a way to get your logo on his new website for our empire.

ras1310 Have you tried increasing your virtual memory. If you have 512 of ram try setting your virtual to about 1500. The game will slow down towards the end of it, but it shouldn't crash with the extra virtual. TBAY

Norad. Put them both in the empire. Both characters' scores will count for the empire. I have my original TBAY character in the empire and have also added Spontaneous Combustion. It seems you can have as many different charracters as you want in the same empire. I checked the Web site and it loks good so far. There is quite a bit of space to the left and right of the text you have now. I assume this is for more additons. If not it might be because of the resolution your machine is set at

phtmsabr It seems that as soon as you reach game 6 your total for all games is divided by 2. In the galciv 1 metaverse they used to divide the total of all your scores by the square root of the number of games you have played. This looks like a similar setup but it seems to be calculated every 5 or six games. I have played 27 games and my metaverse score is about 1/3 of my total for all games. Don't despair. it is the same for all of us. The cream still rises to the top, (as long a

Welcome aboard Couche. Do you know how to join? I don't see your Character listed in our empire. If you need any help signing up I believe one of our ealier posts has directions. If not, feel free to ask and one of us will gladly help you. Have fun helping us become no. one. Bye for now, TBAY. Great I see your Name there now. I was able to come back and edit this post. The new forum seems to be working better.

I see my last post did not show up. I will welcome Spludge for a second time. Glad to have you become an Orca. We are now in 6th place and should move up to 5th by the end of the weekend if I can finish my latest game by then and Jarru and Norad continue at there bistering pace. My new Character is Spontaneous Combustion. I will start to post all my new games at a lower difficulty level (crippling) as it takes me about half the time to play a huge map at this level compared to Suicidal. Al

Norad. I dont think it will delay us at all. If you create a new character, and leave the original in the empire, you will be adding a new character to our empire. The scores from the original character will remain unchanged in our empire total, and the new games posted to the new character will add up faster than if you added them to the original character. It is a win win situation. I will be able to keep one character for prestige at a higher difficulty level and one character to greatly

Greetings Fellow Orcas. I am just about finished a huge suicidal millitary victory. This should move us up to almost the top 5 with the scores the rest of you post. If I do not receive close to 100,000 points for this submission i am going to create a new Character and play with it for a while at a lower difficulty level and rattle off a large millitary victory every night. My current character is being held back by the 4 defeats I posted when I first started. The new character's total will

Welome Jarru. It is good to have another top player in our midst. Ypu have just moved us up a couple of placesin the rankings. I can see from your scores that it may not be worth my while to continue to play at the suicidal level. I am not rewarded enough at that levl fo all the extra time it takes to play. OK we are on a roll now lets set our sights on the top 5. Bye for now. TBAY

Geckomind. If you go to my original recruiting post (has about 31 replys) on Metaverse talk you will see a lot of strategy info. We also will have a website up soon. The link is in one of Norads' posts within the above thread. I should not have posted this for you as i am not usually so accomodating to people who tell me to "go away".
