Reply to MetaVerse in Metaverse Stardock Forums

No there is no limit besides tiles and cash. Factories, labs, morale boosters, farms... cost cash, hell the trade resorts cost cash. You have to be able to generate cash so I go for a more modest approach. On a typical 10 planet. 1 - Stardock 2 - Factories (may buy one outright if early in the game) 1 - Market 2 - Labs 1 - Market 1 - Entertainment 1 - Culture 1 - ?? Food or Superproject. Nominally I will wait on the food for the terraf

However the game I submitted lists as unranked. Anyone knows why or what it means? Probably due to the fact that the metaverse doesn't update automatically every time someone submits a score. From what I have noted the mv has specific times it does an archive and backup. After that time than your score shall be ranked, position added, medals

Usually, you cannot bribe your way into close relations, unless your bribe is something damn substantial, like a whole step up the technology tree. For example I was to give you photon one and two while you are only at harpoon two and three for technology. This will only help if they are in desperate need or feel they are in desperate need due to a perceived threat from you or other nations. Here are some tips that may help. 1) Make sure all of your troop transports are... grounded

Reply to Iconian Refuge - Worst Race? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

All races get 10 ability points and you can assign unspent points yourself Not exactly true (much like independance day, the movie). There are races that you can not change their abilites, at least in sandbox mode. They screen comes up yellow highlighted when you try. Like the humans never being able to have steller cartography changing abi

Reply to Good...Neutral..Evil..it doesnt make sense. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Well, playing evil may give you alot of soldier bonuses and alot of planet bonuses, but at least once, sometimes twice I have seen evil empires (with poor morale) pretty much go away on me due to that planet wide fundamentalist movement, not in the current release mind you but while playing in GC1 and beta. Frankly the trade vote by the UP when your evil can be a pain in the rear tissue also. W/R Suralle Being good isn't all that its cracked up to be either, especiall

I assumed the AI had sold off the improvements to piss me off Yes Frogboy did mention on the advanced levels that the AI would get rid of stuff just to piss you off. The longer your in orbit about the planet waiting on other ships to come the more the AI will destroy things from what I have seen. I have lost entire factory base on the hurry

I found out the propaganda sliders were taken out for the final. Controlling moral will be difficult without it. Hopefully it will make a comeback at a later date.....hint...hint.... Actually, the key to morale is described above quite well but I will give my spin on it. Do not build farms in your initial colony in the first or even the sec

Reply to Q about Difficulty in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Your on the right track. The AI at Intelligent (one step above bright) is playing with all the AI's algorithms running and is or has the same access to data and money that you the player does. At levels above intelligent (where it starts to read more than painful) the AI is simply given more cash to play with. With more cash they tend to trade techs more, buy buildings that much more soon, upgrade buildings faster, buy ships straight out... what was that last thing....buy superproje

Matt, Sorry, that you were not happy with my performance as a beta tester. In the future I will endeavour to be even more vocal on the forums and using the prescribed media provided by Stardock in beta reporting. Please continue to provide even more constructive critiques of my and others performance as we continue to report directly to Stardock the problems we have found using their prescribed reporting procedures.

Depends on your style of play. Pick a target and beat the snot out of them, especially the one giving the other two a bunch of crap.

Cannot cultivate resources plus other small stuff. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

1) Once an alien race has captured a resource and someone blows it up (me too) I cannot construct a starbase there. The aliens can though 2) In the detailed area the blurb sometimes states "your empires name" 3) Easy download, easyy up and playing. Graphics a little jerky in the combat scenes. Going to work on this myself for now. Seemed much smoother in the beta on both desktop and laptop (I have already shifte

Well I can guarantee as Suralle Straykat and his mate Che-Rene continue throughout the metaverse that the story shall continue for them. I am sure that Mr. Wardell has a story or more about his character(s) and from what I have seen he is not afraid of posting them either. Personally, this is my way of finally expressing an interest in writing sci-fi / fantasy that I have entertained for years. A big difference from what I started writing underway on submarines... short st

Reply to The Kat Lords in Metaverse Stardock Forums

You really do not have to join up with anyone. As there is not direct conflict in the metaverse its more about bragging rights on how much territory your empire has carved out versus the other empires. Heck you can sign up and have your own empire with just a couple of clicks and sign in. Some folks out on the Metaverse put some demands on you as to how they would like you to win, how often you must play. The pretty cool ones simply just open the door and let you in, let you choose
