Also, more pop means more potential soldiers and more soldiers to defend against invasions, if you're worried about troop transports getting to that world.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

As much as I would love to be able to play this game with a friend, having to sacrifice all the little features that make GC2 shine would be too much to ask. I love playing the Terrans and going nuts with diplomacy, but what the heck would a diplomacy bonus mean when trading with an actual person? An MP game with AI opponents could be pretty broken. It would be even easier to exploit the AI- a human could team could just specialize and trade with each other; one does all the f

The "Milky Way" map comes with it's own Dread Lords to start with; the first time I played it I got the Dread Lords event fairly soon in and had to deal with double the Dread Lords.

Terrans excel at diplomacy and influence, the Korath rock at taking worlds, the Yor have great production, Korx and Krynn have a ton of money, Altarians are great researchers, etc. I've found the Krynn are quite easy to play due to having such a strong economy. I hate their super ability, though... <br/

[quote]Hi!In older game versions there was an option to talk to them, when you clicked on the message "race X signed a peace treaty with DLs".[/quote] I was able to do this yesterday in DA 1.8-something (I forget what I'm patched to, I oughta check). The Dread Lords are totally my new BFFs. I love those guys! Playing Terrans with all the diplomacy techs I could get, diplomatic translators and galactic bazaar. Had a ton of extra cash from being turtled by the DLs for a long while doing r
