I have not looked for a week, but the last time I checked, I was number nine on the Metavesre ladder. I have played the game for well over 500 hours. The details of the scoring system in GC III are still a (near complete) mystery to all players as evidenced by your post and the posts of many others. Stardock has never done much to clear up the mystery. I can offer clues, but still have no idea about the details. I was somewhere in the top twenty in GC I. &nbs

Two days ago, I won a diplomatic victory as the Snathi. Since the Snathi are not well liked by everyone, I thought this was a notable achievement. Steam did not think so, nor did Metaverse.

I usually play on gifted or genius level, but I had no idea what to expect from a campaign game, so I backed off to normal, especially since the only choice of race is the humans and I haven't played with them since my first two be

GalCivI's Metaverse was pretty good. It wasn't too difficult to figure out the scoring system. The scoring for any one game was capped at a certain level. No matter how fast you won a game, no matter how hard it was, the cap was (I think) 4000 points. Anyway, I made it to about #16 or 17 on the list of top total scores. GalCivII's Metaverse was much harder to figure out. You could also create opponents that would more-or-le
