Default Re: Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

I've only played 2 game to the end. In most games the winner is obvious well before the game ends. I have played hotseat games that took a long time to reach that point, 600+ turns, but most of my solo games are decided before turn 200. If the AI can continue to be improved I hope one day to play an interesting solo game that Lasts 1000+ turns.

Never.

In fact, I have only played in four games - no longer than 215 turns.

It's sad isn't it? I've had the game since late January.

I finish all of my games. It' because I'm an anal character and get punished by myself if I don't.

The Last SE4 game I completed was just before the game hit the market. Roughly 500 turns in... Was really interesting fighting one all-powerful ai that controled 90% of the galaxy.

Default Re: Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

I have started many games, but really not have ever completed one game. I have started many and after 200 to 300 turns i start a new one, and each time i do that i get so much better at the game. Now i am currently in a game that has Lasted for 460+turns and devising some new tactics so i might actually finish this game.

Actually I have completed a game... once. My homeworld got bottled (makes a change from "glassed"=-) by an AI 3 turns in. Game Over. Now I _always_ build a weapons platform or defence ship in my first turn

I've won quite a few games... 2 with the "unmodded" game, 2 with the "TDM-Mod", and 3 with the mod I'm working on (although the AI in my current mod is pathetic I must admit... but that will change!), I've lost 3 games as well... all within the first 150 turns.... my longest game went 278.4 YEARS!
