Default Re: Question on Mega Evil

Quote:
say even tho player 1 has outstripped everyone, during the game, player 2 raises up to the same level thru whatever means, what if they were both tied in all the areas that trigger MEE?? If I read correctly, the way the game is set up, only 1 player could reach the MEE standard at any one time, but what would happen if 2 players were identical? MEE then accordingly, would not be triggered because no one player was dominent, but in this case you have 2 dominent. Granted this sounds like a rarity, but what if it does happen, would both then be MEE??
As soon as player 2 closes within less than the trigger level, player 1 stops being MEE.

If two players are evenly matched throughout the game, MEE will never trigger, no matter how far they're ahead of the other players.

The odds of two players having the exact same score are, well, astronomical. The score display only shows scores as multiples of .1K, but that doesn't mean that the scores aren't calculated down to the ones digit. Note that if you turn all scores on, and look at the scores before doing anything else on the very first turn, all the empires are still uniquely ranked.
