Longest game?

I tried Proportions but didn't really like it. I thought it slowed things down a little too much. But yeah, I can definitly see how it could create some VERY long games.

I think my longest game was around 400 turns. 255-system map, 19 A.I.'s.

I didn't finish that game.

The longest game I played was in 1.49 and it was over 5000 turns. I posted the Turn files here for people to see a very long time ago.

I had colonized all the planets, converted them to my races breathable atomsphere, made planets out of all the Asteroids, cleared all the black holes - nebula and put stars in them. Put a ring world or sphere world around every star.

It was a very long game. I did not conquer one enemy. I contained him and his 5 planets were the only 5 I did not control. Hell I even made two planets for him out of asteroids in his home system.

That was a long and fun game.

No if I am lucky most of my games Last about 100 to 200 turns before I get bored and move on.

wow that's long...
i used to mess around like that.
if it weren't for PBW, i may not be playing at all.

That sounds like a great game!

One day if I have a good solid two weeks or so that I don't have to work or have any other commitments, I'd like to play continously and have a super long game. I'd buy enough food and drinks to Last a couple of weeks and I won't leave the house or answer the phone. I'll just play non-stop until I've completely conquered the galaxy and totally built everything up.

I need to play continuously because if I save and not play for a few days and come back, I don't feel like continuing and I have to start a new game.

Thats quite respectable achievemnt. I have same problem, sometimes I start single game and I get bored before 50 turns. That's why I play only PBW, you never get bored when playing against other humans

I have a proportions single player game that is well into the thousands. I think it might even top Atrocities' 5000 but I'd have to check.

I have a ringworld in my home system which is just a few dozen turns away from completing a cultural centre...
