Reply to How does the final score get worked out. in Strategies Stardock Forums

Thankyou all for your enlightening answers. Let me address the concerns: I assure you I am having lots of fun with this game, and scoring is second. However, when all things are equal, score is an imporant game parameter that I need to grok :-) I love the subtle twists that happen as you move up the skill levels. For instance I only saw "Take your miltiary out of sector (x,y) otherwise I will do it for you!" from Tough upwards. (I was only trying to help kill some escaped pris

How does the final score get worked out. in Strategies Stardock Forums

I cant see why I am getting the scores I do. I have worse scores on Crippling than I do on Tough sometimes. What is the main thing that contributes to a high score? ~SDC~

When I have Mods enabled, I find that if I do a Control-N to redo the "Galaxy" at the start, the came now crashes and goes back to the launcher app. If I then disable mods (and thus take out a lot of the fun, + my own ship mods that I am testing) this stops happening. It all worked before, so something has changed either since the last stardock version release, or my inclusion of some mod or other. There is no clue, just a complete crash. ~SDC~

Reply to Sneaky diplomats party in Mods Stardock Forums

I just finished a game with this party, I think it is great. I picked a economy and research bonus on top. I found that I did get picked on at the start because I was outgunned from the get go, but I found it easy to buy help from the other races. ~SDC~

Ok I see why I am wrong about the trade goods. The rest was ok, and stands :-) ~SDC~

I actually took The "victory" planet by force then they started to culture flip me - even so I should have one as soon as I took the planet - the cutlure flip took a few turns. It was pretty boring way to end, and the Alterians are selfish sh*t's as team mates - totally unrealistic really. I'm tempted to fight them off the map now and see if the scenario will end that way. Basically in scenario 3 - as many people have said, the victory condition is broken. I am using

I am using 1.49N[rc].003 I was just playing and captured the star system in Mission 3. I think I should have ended there but the game carried on. So I destroyed the Korx completely. Still no end. So now I am playing culture wars witht the Alterians, which nice chaps though they are is boring (plus they have a head start on me because I was putting my energy into extinguishing the Korx). Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? What do you want me to do next ? I ha
