Holy Cow, 2 games, 4 metaverse points - Metaverse thought

from Stardock Forums
I've played strategy games for 20 years and this is tough. I'm playing on Normal, tiny, tried 3 games before I started posting and was equally awful playing those. It's great...I need a challenge.

Metaverse thought - It seems every game should be posted for every player. Like me, I could have played 50 games and only posted my best but I like to see how I progress and average for all my games. The metaverse should have highest and best average for all played.

If it was just a high score board that would make sense, but as the AI can also learn from the strategies used it makes sense to take from the best.

Granted that could still occur with your suggestion in effect.

I played 1 game, cakewalk, tiny. Won by cultural (my intention) and got 48 points. I am wondering how you only got 4 points.

Kavok, this is what the manual says about metaverse

"The Metaverse


Galactic Civilizations is a single player turn based strategy. However, for users who want to compete with other people from around the world, the Metaverse is provides a close approximation to that level of competition. When you finish a game, you can submit your score to the Metaverse. Your score is a form of currency. The more points you have, the higher ranked you are and the larger your empire is in the Metaverse. As you gain points, your title increases (peon up to grand master).



Players can also band together to form empires. The points of those players are put together into a single imperial score which is displayed on the galactic map as a single empire. Empires will have their own statistics on games, strategies, and journals and more.



GalCiv is also capable of downloading strategies automatically from the net. Submitted scores include basic information on what strategies were employed (what technologies were researched and in what order, what ships and improvements you built in what order, your style of playing, your moral strategy, the type of strategy employed overall, etc.). The GalCiv AI can then download this information from the Metaverse to improve both the quality of the AI and the humanity of it.



Eventually, Stardock hopes to allow players to literally choose a player from the Metaverse to play and simulate that player (roughly speaking) in a game. The only thing missing would be the time waiting for others to move and disconnects!"
