Is there a way to turn off planet-flipping?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I'm wondering if there's a way to prevent the flipping of planets due to culture and influence. I realize most people probably don't care about disabling flipping, but I like to play very military-intensive games and find culture flipping to be a recurring annoyance (typically, I end up trying to give flipped planets back to my enemies, but they'll flip back to me again a few turns later).

Short of modding the heck out of enemy races' loyalty ratings, is there any specific way to turn planet flipping off altogether?

Not really--loyalty modding is the simplest solution.

If your playing TA, you can almost stop planets flipping to you by building the Mind Control Center. The state it is in at the moment, the only thing it does it make it difficult for planets to flip to you. You still will get an occasional flip, but it is very seldom with the MCC.

Playing as the Yor helps a lot with keeping your planets from being flipped. But out-right turning it off would, I think, greatly unbalance the game.

Heh. I'm not worried about my planets' flipping to enemies; I'm more concerned with my enemies' planets' flipping to me. I want to stop that from happening. :)

I guess I'll just mod the loyslty ratings on the various races in the XML files. That probably won't put an end to my problem, but will at least keep it under a bit better control.

I tend to play as humans, for the record. It seems way too easy to become a cultural powerhouse as the humans. Not sure what that is. Possibly it's just a side effect of my playing style.

>>Not sure what that is<<

Should read "Not sure why that is." I'm full of typos today.

Well then yeah, upping their loyalty should do the trick.
