Guest DarthMaulUK Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Every month, for those of you who play the game still, it would be great to have a challenge set to see who can achieve it. You can attach screens to prove you met the target. The Challenge: Nice and easy to start with. The quickest time you hit Tech 3 DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Can you refresh my memory on how to take screenies? Also, it's just on to getting tech 3 right? No worry about military, ect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Then I guess you should be playing on easiest 'cause you're gonna get owned at easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Well it all depends on the map banthas people can tech as early as 12 min without them 15 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 This is an excellent idea DMUK! I shall hurry off to do my best time now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Do we get to choose the map? As Frozted said, a fast T3 depends quite heavily on having more than one full nursery. And how will you know we're not cheating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Well here's my attempt: 14:02. It's no doubt quite beatable, but someone has to start off. If anyone beats it (which someone probably will) I'll give it another go. I had most things to my advantage: I did it on Reytha, which has heaps of resources, and had it on easy, and used the Rebels. However I set resources to "Standard" because putting it on "Highest" would be a bit too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I should put more thought into this.... but the map is random. Any level etc. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I say you should have to record the games. Even if you quit after getting T3, it is still recorded right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin Boba Fett Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 how are u gonna know if someone used cheats or not? not that anyone would. i was just wondering. why not a monthly tounament too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I think it would be obvious with a recorded game. If the player suddenly gets 1000 food out of nowhere...well you get the idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin Boba Fett Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 good point. i still think the monthly tournament is a good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I've been practising on standard 1v1 RM sets, but choosing ice lake or motherlode instead of RLM. Obviously if you're allowed all visible it gets much easier as you can see where the animals are, and if you choose a bigger map there will be more of them. And what's the closing date?

lukeiamyourdad Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Well that challenge started October17 so I guess it'll be November17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Well this is what I did: Normal Random Map (not ice lake or whatever) Normal Line of Sight (not all revealed) Easy vs 1 Computer Standard Resource amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Can anyone recommend a free screen capture utility that actually works with games? The Windows print screen turns most of the pixels black. I've tried Screen Hunter but this doesn't seem to work at all with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterN64 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Thats a good challenge but we need something that takes a bit more strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a problem of compatibility with your version of windows. mastern-we'll see for next month:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Saberhagen - if you do a normal Windows screen capture, it doesn't work, but if you just press PrntScrn whilst in SWGB it saves a screenshot to your Galactic Battlegrounds directory. You'll know if it works because a message comes up in game saing that a screenshot was taken. Everyone else - looks like I win this month's challenge, eh? What with no competitors and all...

lukeiamyourdad Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 There's still two weeks and a half left. The competition should normally end November 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 And why do you think I was asking how to take a screen shot? I might well have something that I need to prove... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I've been playing HW2 alot, and wishing LA made a Star Wars game like it. Does it matter which GB we play? I prefer the old one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 You can't possibly win this challenge with the old one because animal nurseries have to be powered. Edit: BTW, here's my attempt: 12:11 Screenshot here: http://www4-lom.com/swgb/ft3.jpg And rec here: http://www4-lom.com/swgb/fastt3.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Damn, saberhagen beat me. Curse his being excellent at the game! Anyhow I'd like to see this monthly challenge thing ressurrected. Can anyone suggest a new challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
