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!

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..


Because most people would rather post wins, instead of decreasing their scores for one more medal

I was thinking about this back in June, but I didn't want to necropost. Since the thread has been resuscitated, however...

I would like to see medals awarded for victories in the different galaxy sizes. There are many paths to victory in GCII, but the only path to the top of the Metaverse charts is military conquest in a gigantic galaxy.

Not everybody has the time to put in for this kind of massive slugfest; and not everybody has a computer capable of handling a gigantic galaxy with abundant everything and a thousand starships whizzing around.

Awards for high scores in different size categories would be a good and fair way to reward top players who have to get up from the computer once in a while, without upsetting the existing scoring criteria.

Each player's total scores in each galaxy size category could be scored as a subset, using the same formula as the total score, with medals awarded to the top and former top scorers in each galaxy size.

Better yet, instead of a medal grahpic, break into something new: boxing belt-type images with alt tags like "Heavyweight Champion" would make a nice addition to the military medals and game counter/alignment chicklets.

but don't you want more medal then you have? it's so easy to lose and non of the people want this medal.... I think in the Legend, there must be a link of details for each medal, how you get that... and another question... what is the difference between Former top 25 and Top 25? I saw someone in rank 600 and something with Former Top 25 but he is not top 25?

sorry to be so curios...

EDIT:

so if I now post five loses (retires) I'll get that medal?

Actually, retires don't count toward the WIA medal, only end-of-game losses; you have to go down the long, bitter road to total defeat five times to get that one.

oh... thanks

I think you can lose pretty fast by using the "surrender" option in diplomatic negotiations.

what is the difference between Former top 25 and Top 25?

Just think about it: Top 25 and Former Top 25.

what? he is in the top 25 list and he is a old man...?!

I would like to see medals awarded for completing the singleplayer campaign missions in Metaverse. That would be nice.
on Aug 13, 2006
No, he/she was in the Top 25 in the past. It's kind of a honorary title.
on Aug 13, 2006
you was in the top 3? so that means your score fell really really down...

Yes, GalCiv 2 abstinence and even more the score recalculations made my score drop a lot.

I'll throw my 2BC in now that this thread has been revived...

I'd like to see an "All Conditions" medal (1 Victory in each of the 4 ways to win: Technology, Political, Cultural, and Military).

And if you like THAT!!!

I'm doing a self-imposed quest of "All Conditions/All Races" now... (Hint, Hint!!!)
