Longest game?
 

Ok, I know a lot of you don't play single player, but for those of you who do, how long is the longest game you've ever played in terms of turns?

My longest is 484 turns.

I played with 19 AI's all allied against me, high bonus, high difficulty. I quit once I knew I had won, which was when I had a couple of sphereworlds built and could beat the AI in 50 on 50 ship battles with only one loss to my fleet.

So what's your record?

I don't keep track anymore, but it wasn't anywhere close to yours. I don't remember ever breaking 300.

If you want a long game, play Proportions mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Yeah; playing a slighlty modded Version of Proportions, set to team mode (human vs AI) with 19 AI's, I've broken 1000 turns more than once. And that wasn't even to play it to completion - that was merely playing until I had captured 2 homeworlds.

I tried Proportions but didn't really like it. I thought it slowed things down a little too much. But yeah, I can definitly see how it could create some VERY long games.

I think my longest game was around 400 turns. 255-system map, 19 A.I.'s. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I didn't finish that game.

The longest game I played was in 1.49 and it was over 5000 turns. I posted the Turn files here for people to see a very long time ago.

I had colonized all the planets, converted them to my races breathable atomsphere, made planets out of all the Asteroids, cleared all the black holes - nebula and put stars in them. Put a ring world or sphere world around every star.

It was a very long game. I did not conquer one enemy. I contained him and his 5 planets were the only 5 I did not control. Hell I even made two planets for him out of asteroids in his home system.

That was a long and fun game.

No if I am lucky most of my games Last about 100 to 200 turns before I get bored and move on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

wow that's long...
i used to mess around like that.
if it weren't for PBW, i may not be playing at all.

Re: Longest game?
 

That sounds like a great game! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif One day if I have a good solid two weeks or so that I don't have to work or have any other commitments, I'd like to play continously and have a super long game. I'd buy enough food and drinks to Last a couple of weeks and I won't leave the house or answer the phone. I'll just play non-stop until I've completely conquered the galaxy and totally built everything up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I need to play continuously because if I save and not play for a few days and come back, I don't feel like continuing and I have to start a new game.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thats quite respectable achievemnt. I have same problem, sometimes I start single game and I get bored before 50 turns. That's why I play only PBW, you never get bored when playing against other humans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
