Default Re: What the highest turn # you\'ve reached?

I think a couple of games on PBW have come close to 200 turns. Not anywhere near the other numbers I have heard for single player games, but not bad for a competative game.

Default Re: What the highest turn # you\'ve reached?

In a single player game, I've pushed upwards of 500-600 turns. I got tired of the game once the AI stopped posing as a punching bag and died. In that game I was building a massive highway system to speed up transport movements and converting planets.

In a multiplayer game, I think it ended at about turn 25 when I bypassed all my foe's systems and glassed the homeworlds. His tactics were flawed, he only built on smaller worlds for resupply and such, very little production outside his core worlds and he colonized a few planets. His ally then quit the game after a series of small battles.

Wouldn't you also have to tape down the enter key so that it selects "OK" when it says "Are you sure you want to end your turn?"

No. Turn that confirmation dialogue off in the Empire Options window.

The highest I have convenient records of are 131 for multiplayer, and 170 for a solo game, but I know I've had an unfinished solo game that went over 230.

I have gone into the 500's in a simultaneous game with my brother.
We did the first 200 turns in 3 days.
