Longest game?

[Kamog]

I think my longest game was around 400 turns. 255-system map, 19 A.I.'s. I didn't finish that game.

[Atrocities]

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.

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

That sounds like a great game! 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.

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.

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

I have a proportions single player game that is well into the thousands. I think it might even top Atrocities' 5000 but I'd have to check.

I have a ringworld in my home system which is just a few dozen turns away from completing a cultural centre...

A cultural center?
I have never managed to build one of those. It takes forever!

I only play single player, and the longest would be well below 300 turns. The thing is that I always come up with this new great idea for a new component or facility, and when I add it I break the game.
But its awesome. Now I have drone fighters, not just the real drones, and drone tanks, and Assault Infantry (2kt), power armor for infantry (engine coded so you can't use it on tanks) and a gazillion more little twiks.

My next game breaker addition will be more power armors:
1-Power Armor (30% defense bonus, deflects 10 damage)

2-Combat Armor (40% defense, 10% offense (superior targeting equipment ) deflects 15)

3-Assault Armor (50% defense, 20% offense, deflects 20)

I was also thinking of "conventional tanks", something like a 5kt tank that doesn't need any tech, so you can build it from the very begining with a depleted uranium cannon and composite armor.

One thing I don't know if it will work or not its artillery units. I had the idea of making an mobile artillery unit that could have an indirect fire weapon that could reach to a range of 5, but I have my doubts wehther it will work or not.

Would a long range ground weapon fire over the heads of friendly units or does it have to wait until the units on the first row are destroyed to then engage the enemy in close proximity combat?
