Reply to colony ship and transoprt ship balance in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

We all agree that at midgame it happens to be pressing buttons...(see my post on the subject...). We all agree that having midgame colonization would be funny. A solution could be made of: - ranges (do you remember how difficoult was to expand?) - higher price for colonies/transports (but not too high) - minimum limit on millions of people to startup a new world (to be combined with higher colony price to avoid a "put my hat" tactics on all nice worlds) - limits on c

Paul, I agree that what you describe could be next millennium reality but in a game you have to carefully balance reality mimic vs game mechanics (playability). Let's simplify your toughts: colonies & transports must be more expansive (2x otherwise game slows down). I don't agree on adding outposts (more things to manage). I'd support limits on colonies & transports size. Soldiers=population works on both sides (attach and defense) so let's keep it simple that way.

Midgame frustration in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm at about midgame... and have nothing to do. It's just 2 of us left. I have 1/4 of the stars but much more advanced. We have friendly relations. We cannot attach each other (for different reasons). We cannot make an alliance (he's imperialist, I'm federalist). My survey ship has sweeped all sectors. I'm slooooowly building and researching. Any hint on how to finish the game? Brad, you should think about it... ;)

Reply to United Planets: Proposed Issues in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Issue: let's make a galactic encyclopedia of technology (GET) ;) . All UP members must contribute (now and till amended) with technology texts of their discoveries XX years after making that. Any race using those discoveries will pay a X% fee to the original developer for up to YY years. Wars will not affect this royalty since it will be via UP offices. Issue: amend any previous decision (decision n°XX) Issue: all UP members can lend discovered technology. Any race using those
