Somewhere around 310, I had finished it when I posted teh T73 one. I hope to get back to rerun the start. I just finished MM6 (again) and I am in the middle of a Civ3 run, so I have not forgotten. Those two were/are long games. Usually I am doing a one day or 2 day game like Moo1/2 or Heroes.

The biggest problem that I recall to getting the game doen in say 180 or so turns is trying to reach other races, even if you have say 6 BB's. You would need to conquer some planets just to get the range to reach them and travel to all of them seems prohibitive in that time frame.Comment

Oh I forgot how bad those early planets were, most had no farming.Comment

With irridium and a well timed op only need 1 or 2 ever you are fine. Those planets weren't good but 310 is obscene. You are in range relatively early of 2 races by the time you are midway into them you have irridium.When you see the Vulture fleet coming your way you can count on 2 things. I brought enough to do the job and you should start looking for a new game.Comment

I can find it interesing to see how one may do a quick kill, but even if I could do it 100 tunrs, I would not. I would find that to be no fun after one or two runs.
I understand that in MP it is more of a do or die, but that is why it never appealed to me. I like to run the tech tree and grab lots of planets. I know sick. When I was child and played monopoly, I would offer breaks to players that laned on property and owed me more than they could afford, so I could keep playing an dend up with all of the land, not just win the game.Comment

Well the goal of that was to win quickly, you were off by about 140-150 turns. What other set up and set of criteria do you want to use to judge skill at the game?
If growth was the issue, I had you there. Look at me on turn 125. If tech is the issue remember I had no problem reaching my targets. I could be through the tree faster than you could imagine. Would you like to give that game a run. Fastest to complete all tech?When you see the Vulture fleet coming your way you can count on 2 things.

I did not know it was a race or about skills. If it is I am willing to concede, does that help? I am interested in learning, I am not interested in seeing whose is bigger. I am fine with mine. I know there are many people better than me at any thing that one could imagine. I out grew that about age 35 or more than 20 years ago.Comment

Originalbork, I got around to looking at the save for t125 or whatever it was and I see you really went to the max. Nice job. Talk about extreme, wow.Last edited by vmxa1; February 23, 2003, 20:39.Comment

I guess I'm from the other school of thought. If you are going to do something do it well.When you see the Vulture fleet coming your way you can count on 2 things. I brought enough to do the job and you should start looking for a new game.Comment

For grins I did a tech run. 209 turns to clear the all tech levels (left me with comp 1 and so forth). In there I accidentally almost wiped out the galaxy.
3 BB's
3 Titans
That was the extent of my total war effort for 200 turns.When you see the Vulture fleet coming your way you can count on 2 things. I brought enough to do the job and you should start looking for a new game.Comment

Yeah, I had seen a post years ago where some one said this:
"T200, all production and research techs can be researched."
So that seems to be more or less confirmed by your run.Comment

T200 or 209 turns, I am impressed. Was that on Hugh and on pre-warp or advanced?
vmxa1, thanks for the welcome.
