G-Maj 172 is heating up! :eek: Was thinking I'd wait until this update to see if I should try going for some high score game, but if it's already over 800k... Probably skipping that attempt.

Congrats @Pangaea on a great space game! I've been eyeballing those epic/mara space slots for a while, they just take so long! Like your 120 hours show. :crazyeye:

BC. ;) Shame there were no other entries, was an interesting lesson in domination with too much land. It could have been a lot faster if I hadn't been waaaay too paranoid about the future state of the economy, mainly because I remembered several STRIKE mechanics all wrong. Should have read up on those before starting the game. :blush:

Thanks. I was pleased with that game, although it can certainly be improved (as almost all slots can). I'm a notoriously slow player, though, so don't take my hours for the normal. I like to peek around the place too much, look at stats and whatnot, and check all cities every turn for pretty much the whole game, even if it's largely a waste most of the time I reckon. Simply a habit.

Was on top of G-Major 172 until now with that 624k game, but Mad2rix blew me out of the water. Do have another game half-played, but that one won't even match my own score. But since we could apparently record two games this time, I wanted to try, and tick off one more leader. Marathon and/or Sushi is needed to get upwards of a million points I think, and that is certainly way too slow for my liking. Swapped over to playing G-Major 173 for now, and wanted to have a crack at BOTM 200 too, but I do want to complete the 'other' game I have going for GM-172 as well. We'll see. All my games take forever! :lol:

Congratulations to @Conquistador 63 for EQM. That's a mighty fine achievement.

Edit: Hahaha, OMG. That 800+k game of 550 turns was played in under 5:30 hours. I'd probably be at 2000BC by then :lol: Truly shows that I'm an absolute tortoise compared to most others :sad: Would be able to complete more than 1-2 games per update if I wasn't so darn slow. Maybe EQM before year 2034 too.
