What the highest turn # you've reached?

[Spoo]

So who's the king of turn numbers? Who among you has converted every atmosphere, built a sphere world around ever star, then left a book on the F12 key for a week straight?

Highest turn I've done was in the 3000s. Not turn number, YEAR number.

To be fair all I did was tape down the F-12 key in a custom map that had one system where I was the only player; I was trying to make SE4 spit out a Range Check Error. (it didn't)

I started to create a sphere...

Got all the cables & plates on-site and started to build...then won the game before it was completed.

Seems to take ages to build

Um, I'm afraid to ask (or try it):
What does the F12 key do?

I think a couple of games on PBW have come close to 200 turns. Not anywhere near the other numbers I have heard for single player games, but not bad for a competative game.

In a single player game, I've pushed upwards of 500-600 turns. I got tired of the game once the AI stopped posing as a punching bag and died. In that game I was building a massive highway system to speed up transport movements and converting planets.

In a multiplayer game, I think it ended at about turn 25 when I bypassed all my foe's systems and glassed the homeworlds. His tactics were flawed, he only built on smaller worlds for resupply and such, very little production outside his core worlds and he colonized a few planets. His ally then quit the game after a series of small battles.

Ok, (dope slap to my forhead)
F12 = End Turn
Tape it down and the game gets the fluffy bunnys.

[Ed Kolis]

Wouldn't you also have to tape down the enter key so that it selects "OK" when it says "Are you sure you want to end your turn?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

No. Turn that confirmation dialogue off in the Empire Options window. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The highest I have convenient records of are 131 for multiplayer, and 170 for a solo game, but I know I've had an unfinished solo game that went over 230.

[Suicide Junkie]

I have gone into the 500's in a simultaneous game with my brother.
We did the first 200 turns in 3 days.

Well, I'm not sure how many turns...I was about 3/4 the way to conquering a Map6 game if anybody remembers that old SEIV map. (200+ systems sprinkled with sphereworlds) no longer have this since I changed computers. A guess: 500-800 turns. month or so RT. Micromanagement hell. got bored and never finished.

[Ragnarok]

I've gone some where in the range of 250 turns. That's only 12 years game time but I didn't get a chance to finish those games. They got too boring and so I quit. The solo game I'm in now is at turn 14.5. So this is my longest game so far. But it's a fun game, TDM Mod, high difficulty level I think, medium bonus for AI. I'm getting my *** kicked, well I'm holding my own as far as defenses go, but score wise I'm getting whooped. I don't have any ememy ships in my systems. None. Ziltch. Nodda. But my score is 1.2M and 1st place is 4.1M. So yeah... But back on topic, 145 is the most turns so far.
