BTW, the Metaverse submission summary was someway wrong. It said cakewalk and smart AIs but I've double checked and it was all genius. Anyone else had similar anomalies?

Reply to GalCiv difficulty levels in gold version in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad, could you check my Metaverse submission? You should find my victory with all AI set to genius, random alignement, Huge and occasional. I was neutral/good & populist. Turning point was my victory against Drengins. Then I managed to join the "all against arceans" war and reaped some benefits. Altarians were the most powerfull but I got in alliance with the YOR that were also allied with them. As I was developing Altarians declared war but the Yor came to my side.

Metaverse, yes another time in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

;) Ok, won my game submitted the score but I don't see it. Issues: 1) let us store all results and flush as possible; 2) give feedback about submission like: - all ok - user not registred - connection problems - ... Now, Pat can you check where my submissions are? :) One beer payed anytime I get to Livona LOL

Beta 5 notes in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Completed one game. Considerations: - sometimes constructors are launched with 0 available movements; - when a planet revolts and join another empire, all ships are launched and if a transport/combat transport (CT) is available then population gets duplicated on planet and 1/2 loaded into it (2 cases out of 2); - those CT were not able to invade (could not move in)an enemy planet but were able to unload people in my planets; - I was defeated for "military victory" while I still w

Reply to Correct pronunciation of 'Drengin' wanted in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Beeing italian I was so lucky I never had doubts about how to pronounce Drengin LOL In italian "g" is soft otherwise would had been "gh" Sometimes beeing limited helps... ;p LOL Can you belive we don't have KJYWX in our standard grammar? :) Brad, why not to add some speach presentation of the races as intro? Would clean up doubts like this and be marketing effective...

Reply to Fun with diplomacy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Brad, yes my TP also needs a lot of manual dexterity and so I understand you... ;) For diplomacy, I like that idea. What happens then to AI that are not developing diplomacy?

Reply to Diplomacy polish in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

2 points: - do not provide a colored (green-yellow) feedback like now on the possibility of success of a proposal when you build it. This draws you to make tentative deals (like in real life) that the AI can analyze to make counter offers and your needs... Include starbases in trades and stand off zones (after a war for example). - espionage is mostly meaningless. Need to provide more knowledge as stated in previous posts. BTW, when is the Eye of the Universe function beeing fix

Reply to Autopilot on 4Z in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

For me it was freighter & constructors mainly. No difference if there was only one to a destination.

Autopilot on 4Z in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Did anybody experience/report the autopilot not working? To me it stops ships in the middle of nothing, randomly. Happened to many ships. Also autosurvey for a starhawk stopped once. Seemed related to a specific position/loop because after moving manually worked well. This was the only major problem.

Reply to Columbia in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What was the deep reason for the accident? For the Challenger it was rooted in self compliance and spending squeeze. I dare to say they are a factor here too. Aeronautics and Space are things where details count. Details cost a lot and NASA budget was always pressed to do many things with less money. Space, the next frontier. We want to go there but the money goes somewhere else. I'll never see the stars as, possibly, my sons, but I believe those (together with environm

Just one sign of painfull remembrance for the crew of the Shuttle Columbia. They are back in the sky as stars, forever.

Reply to What's next Brad? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Forgot to ask for: - mine fields (asymmetric warfare :d ) with consequent ships; - permanent wormholes tunnels. Interested in a feedback :)

Reply to What's next Brad? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Considerations: 1) I did notice that resources in space come and go if not harvested... or at least this is what I see in my map. 2) I invested a lot on spying and achieved the highest level. In previous builds I was able to get techs. It's not the case now even if 2 races are plenty of unknown techs. 3) Eye of the universe still not taking away the FOW. Are all 3 indended features Brad? Major impact liked improvements: - partially variable tech path blindly pre

Reply to Bad Night on 4B in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Master_Lame, I had the freighter problem and using the find ship button I got the control. Steevo I also noticed the morale drop. Instead of pop-ups, what about a back-button (like for Word Processors) always available that takes you back one action at a time with a given depth of let's say 2-3 actions? Of course only "selected" actions... ;)
