I'll start the screenies.  A recent game...

I had considered starting a thread like this myself...obviously a good idea

Hopefully, I'll make this list in a week or so

I should be joining the club by tomorrow.

Nice game, KP!

Well done and congrats, KP! 

Your name is in lights above.  

Gee I thought there were more than this, but there are multiples (Motti, CL, Livoyna and perhaps others). Anyway here's my DL game and I'll take the liberty of posting Mag's as well.

Looks like its going to take another couple of weeks. My last DL game stalled out @ 985k.

I'm starting a new Gig/All in DA - maybe that'll treat me a little better

Getting 1M+ on DL is really pretty tough and requires a bit of luck to achieve. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get there.

How would you rate the current DL, DA, and TA in terms of difficulty in hitting the 1 million mark?

In DA they introduced immense maps which have up to 1000 planets, double that of gigantic maps in DL but DA included changes reducing the economic output you can get from each planet.  TA has the DA changes plus it reduced the focus (i.e., when you switch focus on a planet to military, society, or research) from 25% to 20% making the all-factories or all-labs strategy harder.  TA introduces unique tech trees so through tech stealing/trading one could collect several bonuses not present in DL or DA.

985k is an incredible score, especially for DL.  Well done, Random70! 

Actually, Immense maps were introduced in TA.  DA's largest is still Gigantic, which can have over 730 planets.  AFAIK, Immense maps in TA produce less than 600 planets though.

I'd say that DL is the hardest as far as mega scores go.  In fact, I'm not aware of anyone besides Mumblefratz who has been able to attain that score. 

DA would be the easiest in my opinion, which leaves TA in the middle by default. 

Yes, same as Gigantic, which was downsized for TA.  Gigantic/Immense in TA is 500-600 on scattered/loose whereas it's 700-800 in DA on scattered/loose.  You're also correct about Immense being TA-specific.  Your mileage may vary slightly, though, as I've wound up with a 499 (so close!) on TA Gigantic loose.

If macro-managing 75%+ worth of 800 planets to crush what's leftover from a try at Influence means a Million score or more, i'll settle for a clear 250,000 points faster and at Peace, thank you for your kind attention(s).

Unless my wrongfully evaluated mathematics span a week (8 hours/day, or somethin' along those figures) worth of multiple clicks equally done for 10 points each. Where's a Governor when we need it the most.

I hear ya. A little bit better draw on resources (only had 4 econ, 5 mil) would have put me over. Even with the resources I received I probably could have optimized my execution at a couple of key points and still made it. That said, I don't know that I have another DL game in me. I'd like to experience some of the cool new features (and massive scoring potential ) of DA but at the same time I feel as though I've got some unfinished business with DL. We'll see.

250k for an Influence win is quite good.  You bring up a good point, too.  The game in its 3 iterations has a little something for a diverse group.  Some of us enjoy competing for score and outdoing our personal best in that regard.  There's the heavy modding ability that draws your ilk in and there's the fantasy or total emmersion that appeals to others.  Pretty well thought out, don't you think?
