Reply to Future of Galciv? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Reply to rising from the ashes? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

How long are you willing to watch the game before you get resurrected. How long will it be before you are re-conquered. If you don't want your ally to lose help him. Give him ships, tech, money. This is part of the game. If you give back the world you are in effect splitting your empire and weakening yourself. This is not a "GOOD" thing to do. If you let a minor Civ die you lose the trade route. If it is important to you don't let the minor Civ die. Truthfull

All of the above are in simple text files. You will need a little knowledge but they are fairly simple. The bonus pack will include tools to help with this. If the AI is modifiable I have not seen the files that control it.

Reply to To Devs - Beta review ok? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"how does one become "commander"?? ". I am not sure either. Some titles I think are based on the number of posts, others I think are granted by stardock. Only other commander I know of other than Luck Jack is AlexG.

Reply to Please fix this in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad early in the development of Galciv explained that he wanted to concentrate on the Computer AI rather than coding a search alogrithym. Unlike many other games this is the only advantage the AI gets. The only setting I have found this becomes an issue is on smaller size galaxies but you can out produce the AI on average settings by buying Colony Ships.
