Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fate?
I suspect that your final "career" is just a simple lookup of your score on a table of rank names.

Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fa
Well that's good enough for me! If only they'd make the list official and so that it would show up on the High Score list

Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fa
I found what I thought was the list in "C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Weird Worlds\default\gamedata\mission.ini", ConraDargo, but it doesn't seem to match up to the scores you're reporting.
Edit:
See?

Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fa
Not really, no :S The "retired war hero" and "forgotten space pilot" was just something that I made up myself, but the other two are taken from my own high score list. Hm.

Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fa
I agree, ConraDargo. We should have posted the new careers on the high score list somehow. I think it just came down to considering brevity, working on other things and a subjective choice.
Thanks for your in-poot!

Re: Retiring status dependent on your score and fa
I've played enough games now to realize that the table lookup is more complicated than I thought. Game length also affects what score you need to reach a given rank. I've been keeping records of my scores, but not game length, and I've ended up in the same rank in as many as four different score ranges.
