Containing facts, figures and a whole bunch of nothing...
Lets hear what you have to say...

Hello GalCiv fans!

I just wanted to know your feedback on a new feature that will be coming to the GalCiv2 website; The Metaverse! Similar to the original metaverse from GalCiv1 site, we want to allow players the ability to submit game high scores to our website, where they can be ranked against the best GalCiv2 players.

The question is, what sort of medals would you like to see players winning. I'll give you some examples, and perhaps you, the players, can tell us what you want to see included in the new metaverse.

Okay, these are ideas we're looking for:
--Over all high score medals with the top 10 highest scoring players recieving medals.
--Nice guy awards
--Most Evil player award
--Most games played
--Worst average score award <- hehehe I would so own this one.
--Creative ship architect award.

Okay, I hope you get the idea. So with that in mind, lets hear what you think would be a cool NEW addition to the metaverse. GalCiv2 has a ton of new features, so let's be creative here people! We'll pick the best ideas and add them to the metaverse! So get posting!

I'd to see some more stats for the Empire side as well not just a total score which favours the bigger empires. The above all looks good though

These are some great ideas.  Please keep them coming.

However, we are limited with we can do.  We have a limited set of data that is available.

Example of some of the data we have...Score, GalaxySize, Difficulty,  Victory/Loss Type, Alignment(morality), Years, Race, Population.  Thats basicially it.

And hopefully later today or tomorrow I will have some more medals implemented.

want a "former 1st place"-badge in line with the "former top-25"-badge. same for 2nd and 3rd place maybe. so I can play modded games or not play that much (when work/college starts again) and still have a medal telling ppl I was #1 once


Me too, I wonder why? Hey, I lived up to my name, was there less than 24 hours, you're doing better than that. Probably deserve it more too. Weekend coming up, wonder how many games are going to get finished?

Victory type awards for getting a certain number of a given win type.

There could also be levels to them:
1 tech win - Technological Victory Medal
5 tech wins - Excellent Typist
10 tech wins - Tech Monkey
50 tech wins - Unix Admin

you get the picture (and that I can't come up with names on the fly).

Seems all the medals are missing form the posts now. Hopefully thay are fixing it.

Fuels Chief:

It was mentioned in the "Sticky: Metaverse Help" thread that they took it down due to performance issues and they're working on fixing it.

Relevant post: https://forums.galciv2.com/index.aspx?ForumID=274&AID=101610&p=4#819693

So hopefully we should all be medal-enabled again soon.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I second the idea of having special medals for a number of victories of a given kind (tech/culture/military/alliance).

- Average map size

- A ranking for most games played

- Pull out the top X (to maybe 1000? )

- Rival (eg. the race you always try to blow up)

- Top X for loses

- Vetran for people who bought the game during the first month of its release.

- Newbie for those who just got the game.

- Favorite type of victory.

Do we still need more input on the medals or they way it is now it is the final?

I think you should stay with the current ones... I like them better but with you'll add more that's good.. and who do you get the medal - "Wounded In Action" ?

You have to submit 5 losses.

I need to lose or just Retire?

Also seconding medals for military/diplomacy/cultural/technological victories (5/10/and so on)...

need to lose or just Retire?


so? I saw some poeple with 10 loses (not retire...) and they didn't get that medal... somebody saw someone with this kind of medal? and also if it is just to lose five times and this is that easy, why not everyone already have it?
hmmm.. food for thought..
