I do not have the time to play this kind of game so I will let my empire fall to ruins, unless, of course, it is destroyed by another empire. I believe that to be favorable to new players by preventing large empires to rush in and take over my ex-planets en masse. I will however take care of the in...

This thread is heading very close to becoming a complete and utter mess, so it's time for me to step in I think. It's pretty clear Anacreon needs some attention from George, and Atarlost has put up a thread in the staff boards to draw attention to this. If you *are* cheating at the game, please don...

*Across the vastness of the Republic of Reason countless Sonic Emitters let out a solemn dirge for the fallen* The once great Finnians, who outlived more wars than than most empires can dream of and who had a hand in the downfall of some of the greatest powers to ever bestride the Galaxy, have falle...

It seems that this event brings forth two very old issues 1. The game mechanics need to enable empires to defend themselves better 2. Leftover ships and resources on neutral planets should be cleared But I also think this can influence gameplay positively in that 1. It reminds empires to be constan...

I think this is the right place for this. In the South of my empire, in the nebula, there is a Ghost Empire: http://imgur.com/Qe4DNZ6 Centered it seems on the Ghost Regional Cap of Susa, there is a whole connected string of worlds, perhaps 30 or so extending south. They have jumpyards and everything...

A further update on Immortality: apparently tech is a vicious cycle. Foundations can't lift themselves beyond the empire's average tech level, which falls due to the lack of incoming tech, which causes the foundation tech-max to drop, which... and so on and so forth. My average TL is currently TL7 ...

*Ahem* Please forgive the woeful lack of action in support of the GTE thus far. It's just that the Exchange has been dormant for so long (over 240 cycles!) that the Republic somehow forgot all about it's duties. But no more! New Mars stands ready to witness whatever treaty the Terran and Felor peopl...

Cycle 4565 Map: http://i.imgur.com/xYUWUN4.jpg It would appear that Hail Henry has destroyed Earth Industries and severely damaged the Kilngons. With his ability to conduct long range operations proven, the only question now is will this upstart Outer-Rim Bandit King be able to solidify his economic...

Map again, Cycle 4561: http://i.imgur.com/v9TOnF2.jpg Flicking between this one and the one from 3 cycles ago shows a satisfying amount of change in the galaxy. It seems that it is much easier to do a galactic screenshot or whatever the real name of the "freeze game button" is using chrome. It does ...

A fine summation of the current galactic situation! I always enjoy some well presented Anacreon data. The south is a wild frontier now, probably because the Terran Empire and myself are hogging all the worlds/have destroyed most of the empires in the north. Still, if the Southern powers could put th...

I think it might work best if we started when the new beta II game does. The current beta galaxy is pretty lively right now and I think all of us who are active and interested in this have vested interests there already. I'm still happy to start up in the current beta game if everybody is for that, ...

I think this is a good idea. I would also suggest that at the very beginning, we will set some goal that this empire will accomplish, so that the game will not stagnate. I agree, that's why I like the idea of in-thread "elections" for the next president. The candidates can lay out a manifesto like ...

So for those who have no idea what I am talking about, a succession game is an idea that originated in the Dwarf Fortress community. Dwarf Fortress is a game, unsurprisingly, about making a fortress for dwarfs. In a succession game instead of just playing until your fortress collapses into horrible ...

A fine summation! However your information on Eldritch production is a little off. It doesn't take 3 autofacs to supply a jumpyard. The ratio of production for advanced jumpdrives/Eldritchs is 1:1. A fully supplied TL10 Cave world at 100 efficiency with all pop structures makes 83 advanced jumpdrive...
