Reply to How did Tech do it !! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I use the default settings for the AI. So I have two at pure evil, two at pure good, one at chaotic good, one at chaotic evil and one at neutral. I never have any problems in moving any of them to "close" and then alliance. It really depends on your "diplomacy" rating. But, you should be able to brive them with a tech each three turns, or 10 bc for 50 turns and that will keep them at least neutral if not move them to friendly.

Reply to Question about Mods in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Mods can have pluses and minuses. Those that are approved are balanced as much as possible. Remember that any mod can be used by the AI, so if it benefits you, it will proably benefit the AI so it is hard to generate a mod that only benefits you.

At the beginnins of the game, adjust the three sliders so that all is going into military. This will build your colonizers. Adjust the spending rate to 100% and the tax rate until the approval rating just drops below 100% and then back it up to be 100%. This will give you the best starting point. You should be able to play at these setting through colonization. After colonization, move the military spending to zero and the research to 100% and research the bassic starting items. Lo

[quote]As far as game submissions? Ha! Turn some good hacker loose on it. There are lots of them, especially among our youth playing games like this (duh). And as far as assuming I'm talking only about JUST submitting games? Think twice. I'm referring mostly to off-line playing without giving a frell about submitting for a ego boost or whatever! And on-line submissions? C'mon, it ain't aways so easy to protect such given a good hacker or "Loop Holes" missed by the system as another mentioned. [/

I have found that the more planets you colonize after 3-5 slows you down as you don't progress as fast. My quickest games have been with either 2 or 3 planets. I have even won with a single planet, but then you have do everything on the single planet and that slows you down. Actually, 4 is ideal in my opinion. this allow you to assign the other planets minor wonders and Trade Goods that only affect the entier system and same those that affect the planet developing them for your home planet.

[quote][/quote] [quote]Does giving other civs random stuff make them like you more?[/quote] Yes, you can keep them friendly, you can move them to close, etc. I always give them something almost every turn. I try to give each the same tech since they trade among themselves and if you give them different tech the soon have all yours and you can't give them any more.
