Yor Economics in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hello everyone. I just started playing the beta 4 or TA. I started a game as the Yor (my favorite race) and noticed that they have no planetary improvements that increase economics on a given planet. It seems to me that this is a huge disadvantage for the Yor in the games economic module. I just started playing the beta, so this could be completely untrue, but I just wondered if I should keep playing or I will get owned by civilization as can produce alot more money (and thus research and Produc

how do you tell the difference between them

Reply to What should I do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I think I've got it under control. I decided to go ahead and declare war on them. I took them pretty easily because of my large research lead over them. Luckily for me they surrendered to me alot earlier than I though they would. I had to decrease spending a little, but im almost back to where I was before the large trade lose. Im set up pretty good because the arceans had a military and another research resource for me. I also found another research resource and economic resource, and manag

See this is another problem, the Thalan got a jump and intimidated alot of races into treaties with them, so the Thalan (most powerful race atm) would be the ones benefitting the most from that. Also I should mention one reason i have so mutch trade with them is that there is a UP treaty that doubles all trade values...so I have like 400bc a week of trade going with them right now. I think im going to just cut back spending in everything except reaserch again, and when I take them out I will jus

I'll Probably bide my time untile the hit from the lost trade won't hert me as much, and then strike. Since it isn't all that apparent the exact rate of increasing abilities, I'll probaby keep a save incase I wait too long and get over ran... That sounds like cheating, but I don't want to lose the time i've invested up to this point.

how long do I have before they start getting really powerful. I guess what I should ask is how much do their abilities increase per week or per month, thanks again.

Reply to What should I do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I've got it under control a little better. My younger colonies have began to develop, and I am now the strongest economically, and 3rd strongest militarily. My problem now is that the mega event occured where the Arcean Empire (atm the weekest) discover some sort of artifact that will gradually lead them to dominate the galaxy. To survive I need to take them out while I can, but the issue is that they have massive trade with me and declaring war on them sets me back to around -500bc. what wo

Reply to What should I do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for all the responses. LoL I completely forgot about moving populations to my new colonies. I even have extra colony ships from doing that earlier. I do have enough tech to trade for money, so I'll probably do that. Should I still try and start those wars?

Reply to What should I do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, thanks much. My taxes are a little high, and I still have 71 overall aproval. This is because I also have 2 moral reasorces. Something else I forgot to mention. The Arcean are the weakest empire, and are completely surrounded by my borders. Their military is the weakest in the galaxy, so it is also on the agenda to take them over fairly soon. -I defiantly like the idea of raising taxes as opposed to eliminating social/military spending. So my aproval can go as low as 41% without seeing l

The problem with EA sports is they can do crap like that, and while people get pissed off, all EA has to do is promise the same junk for the next years installment of the game and peole magically forget about how they flushed $50 (or $60 for 360 and PS3) down the toilet. I say this from experience as I buy NCAA football almost every year and despite better graphics and a few new features, they generally end up removing just as many (anyone else remember when the game had all the 1AA teams as wel

What should I do? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, in my current game (I am playing as the Yor on a Giant size map) I have the most industry, and the most reaserch (3 reaserch reasorces), but my economy and my military are pretty week. Overall I am about 2nd overall. I am loosing alot of money because about a year into the game the event occured were there is a boom in everyones economy, and I used this increase in cash to finance tons of new colonies. I did this becasue I reasearch a few of the extreme world colonization techs before other

Ok, you guys answered all my questions. Thanks Much.

Terror Stars Question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, is the terror star going to be just a ship with a weapon to destroy ships, or are they going to moon sized battlesations like the death star? I've read that Terror Stars destroy stars, but what effect would that have on the planets in that star system? Would those planets die? And if it can destroy stars, does that mean that It can destory individual planets. I can see how there would be situations were you would want to destroy individual planets, but not whole star system. Are you going to

I have a similar set up as Morberis, and the only problem I can see is that my scrolling is the slowest and wont go any higher.

Laptop Problems in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know if anyone else if having this problem, but no matter how much I ajust the scrolling the speed in the game, it doesn't acctually change. as a matter of fact it seems to be on the slowest it can go because it scrolls really really slowly. I am playing of a laptop, so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

3 issues I've found in Dark Avatar in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

1. Ok, I've tried a couple of games on slow tech speed, and it seems like the computer is still getting to researching things at normal speed, because their tech ratings are much higher than mine. Not so sure if this is a bug, but it seems so. 2. This is probly a driver issue, but every now and again my mouse freezes on the screen. It frees up after a couple of seconds, but it is sill an issue. 3. This is not a bug, but I think it is a problem. I don't know how many people have

Reply to Complaint: Upgrading ships is far too expensive in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I would think that upgrades are expensive so that if you arn't as technologicaly advanced you still have a good chance agains't your enemy. I would bet that if you guys were facing an enemy more advanced than you, you would be quite glad you still have hope....that being said, its still quite pricey.
