for OCC, (diety, random small map, first run) i think its 1645 (Paul). on subsequent attempts with the same game, people have done noticably better, but generally don't count that towards a best mark
for bloodlust, break it down to 0 cities, and 1 or more cities.
for 0 cities: i think its 750 BC (vik)
for 1 or more cities, i think its 1300 BC (Shaka Naldur)
Space race: i think its 1075AD (Arii)
for general high score, i think both Ming and rah have scores (unposted) higher than what is in the Apolyton Civ II diety hall of fame (well over 2000%)
All of those numbers/names come from a quick scan of the older threads in this (strategy) forum, so I may have missed something in there. Should give you some pretty lofty targets to shoot at though

God ... I guess I will have to buy six refrigerators full of food, break down all pivate contact to other humans and just PLAY.
Scouse Gits, youīre perfectly right about the score. Playing for score means WORK. Playing for fun is ... well... fun.
But I thought conquering a normal map with 7 civs on deity in 1784 was good. I will get MGE asap, just to see how it is to play against humans. MGE is the only possibility for multiplayer, isnīt it? Theer isnīt an update or something?

The actual scores or percentages the game awards are of little interest to most people. To achieve a massive score is more a measure of mundane accountancy/management skills, rather than playing an enjoyable game in a winning way!

Someone once told me that the English equivalent of the Russian word "Nyet" is "Yes, but..."
I started out at the lowest difficulty level. After mastering(?) one level, I would move to the next higher level. As a result, when I finish a game, my top 5 scores are ones from my King level days (4 of them) or my Emperor days (1 game). No matter how good I do at Deity level, I can't break that elusive top 5 list. Yes, I play for fun to conquer or reach AC first, but the day I get a better score at deity level than my other top 5 scores will be a very happy day!

Chainsaw, you're gonna want to try a few SP games with MGE to see how you do as far as high score goes. Believe me, you might see a noticable degradation in your own "perceived" skills. From what I read on the boards, maybe I should go the other way and find a non-MGE version. Might do wonders for my own ego.

Sorry for the late answer, but I hadnīt neither the time nor the possibility to go online the whole last week...
Scouse Gits:
I donīt remember if it was fundy or commie. I didnīt build the Statue, so I went slaughtering in monarchy. I conquered SoL very late, the last civ I killed had it, then i switched to commie, I think.
I general, when I play expansionist, I make war in Fundamentalism. Science doesnīt matter that much, when your army consisiting of howies, AEGIS, and MechInf is twice as big as the sum of all the other civsī units, and its hard to build up such an army playing commie.
Talking about MP:
Hm. So I will really need to buy a new game (which I have sought in MANY game shops here in Germany, but I CAN`T FIND IT!!! AAARGH!)
But I think youīre right. I would get my ass kicked playing against one of you
kcbob:
Sounds tragic. What is your emperor HighScore?

General high score : The highest score I have ever heard of (and it was not Ming's) is 3015%.

kcbob, I had the same situation (although my high scores even at king level were more like 400% than the 2000% that some people have gotten at deity). Finally I got tired of it and deleted the hall-of-fame file. Next time you retire from a game, it'll recreate. Then load up your best deity games, retire from them, and you'll have a deity-only list.
But as far as actually BEATING the lower-level scores, I can't help either you or me.
|
ARRGH! I left my list at home!  I do remember that my high score is only about 230%. And as for deleting the list, that's what I enjoy most now... trying to beat that lowest score. Then again, I really don't try for a high score. I just love to win, baby. (  The truth is out! I'm a closet Oakland Raiders fan. )

The real civ spirit. Thatīs my opinion, too. OK, I have never played MP, but my first self-made strategy which led to victory was expansionist, and although it takes long to finish (on larger maps), it has stayed my favourite. Itīs so much fun to see your empire grow, then to build up your assault force and sweep the world with your hi-tec-army. I just love that.
The best games are the ones with technically equal neighbors, where you have to combine air-, sea- and land units to beat them.

Scoute gits,
Why is the second game much better than the first, or why should the first game be better than the second ? Try getting the score of the first game and still land in 1520, that's what is civ is all about.
About OCC : it's fun, it's fast but it does not reflect jedi-level control of the game. To many luck factors influence OCC games. Look at the scores brought forward by several people, the same players have hugely differenciated scores, depending on how well the game went (read : on how much lucky factors where present). By their speedy nature OCC games allow to try many times over in a relative short time span compared to fully fledged games. Ok it shows a cunningness in several areas of the game, but certainly not master skill in the whole concept.
OK I hear you coming, why don't I have the high score in OCC games than, well honestly speaking I'm not atracted to OCC games. I tried them, finished somewhere in the 1800, but I never actually found them attractive enough to try over and over again to get a really good score. Why : the luck factor, it is just too big :
+ Start in an area with low amount of resources, too bad, start over
+ Barbarians kick your but every 5 turns : too bad, start over
+ Not enough goody huts nearby : boem, youre done
+ Your goodie hunt chaser runs into the cartagenians : back to start
+ ... ... ...
No, OCC is not for me.
