I vaguely remember a conversation about this not long after DA came out. IIRC, You could get it with DL, and either it wasn't working for DA, or you just had to use the ten original races to get it. Have no idea about TA. Sorry for the abstract answer, but the discussion I'm referencing was a long time ago.

Thanks.

Actually I was trying to get it with a character that I'm about to clear because IIRC that medal survives a character reset but I couldn't seem to get it by posting a few defeats to finish up the races and it wasn't worth the effort of posting victories to a character I was about to reset. I did use all of the DL races including custom, but like I said perhaps the racial medal requires that you actually *win* with all of the races.

In any case I did wait to see if it showed up and it didn't seem to so I just went ahead and reset the character anyway.

I know you dont like the strategy Mumble, but you could also do ZYWs to get the medal. Thats what I did, although it didnt show up for me. I'm not sure why exactly... I did every stock race, and I definitely have some DL games with that character.

Sentient species taste better...

That explains it.


Actually I don't even know how to do a 15 minute ZYW. I suppose I could figure it out but it really isn't worth the trouble. Like I said it's for my Toshiro Mifune character that I was about to reset and I've already gone ahead and reset him.

I'm actually giving one more try at getting 1M in DL and I need a fresh character for the attempt. The primary change I'm adding to my previous strategy involves getting a large number of Hyperion Shrinkers. The problem is that I'm fairly well convinced that Mag got cheat flagged on a game last year due to an excessively high miniaturization level.

With a fresh character I can make the attempt and if it gets cheat flagged then I can simply reset it again and not lose anything valuable.

I dont know if I did the custom race, hmmm...

It doesnt look certain if I need it, but I might as well do it and see if the medal shows up. A ZYW only takes 10 minutes in any case.

I have the medal and have never played a custom race, you can check my profile.

I do not think you can substitute the Krynn or the Korath. I think the medal just doesn't recognize them.

Now, does anyone know about the Favorite Race emblems?

I got it about 3 weeks ago. You gotta do all races that existed in DL and perhaps custom. But you can play those races in any expansion. I did my last 2 in TA and I got the medal.


It's a sexy medal. Green is my favorite color
