Reply to Game 'cheating' in ways I dont know? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Just because the A.I is better at scouting doesn't mean it's cheating,you're just not very good yet.

Surrender Monkeys. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just had a game ruined by the surrender mechanism.I was playing on large map with all 10 races.The game was really even, with about 5 or 6 planets each.But then war started, i ve had two of the races surrender after just losing one or two planets.I feel this needs looking at, the races were anything but finished.If they one or two planets left maybe,but 4,5 planets left, 70% of their economy intact and they quit, can't be right..

It's for morale.So build entertainment stuff there.

Reply to Precursor Ranger Event in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I've never had any Rangers, so maybe your just a lucky git.The A.I has got Corvettes a few times.

You need to read the manual! You put weapons on ships in the ship designer and you need to research the logistics techs to get bigger fleets.

The only borders in the game are planets, it aint your space.

Reply to When will the Dread Lords come out in the game? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

It seems such a waste for the sexy Dreadlords ships to just be in campaign,they should be random event in sandbox. The stardock programmer Cari said they were already in sandbox mode, but this guy Mormegil said they are not.

Reply to alliances in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

You need close relations on the diplomacy to form alliances.

Reply to Intelligent AI problems in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

That's strange,in my game on intelligent setting they always have escort class ships protecting them. I have noticed the A.I not using tile bonus on occasion aswell.

Reply to Miner Race A.I in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

A minor race hasn't got the power to put a cultural attack on a major, it is pointless strategy.They should be defending their only planets with bases and ships. "Minor Races tend to build Influancer Bases to keep from being obsorbed into your culture." I didn't think you could flip miner races.And they are not defending their homeworld,they are spamming bases all over the place.

Miner Race A.I in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Why are the miner races spamming infuence bases all over the place.They have no borders so it seems a strange strategy,lol. I would like the miners to be taken a little more seriously in the game.They should be just building defences and be a hard nut to crack,not wasting resources for no reason,ala Influence bases. I would also like them to voluntary give you their planets when the relations bar reaches the top.It gives you a reason to build good relations with them.

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I miss the capital icons that were in GC1, telling me the production,economy,etc capitals for your Empire.I see the icons in the GFX folder for GC2, it would be nice to make space for them in GC2.

Reply to Sci-fi ship size comparisons in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Some of the ship sizes are just silly.Look at Starship Andromeda, you watch the program you can just see how silly that scales. Babylon5 ships are way to big. Startrek seems to have the most realistic scale of starships in my view, apart from the Romulan D'deridex.

I think the race has to show a dislike to the race you want him to attack in the relations department ,before a D.O.W.

It was cut! Brad talked about the spying system being upgraded in an expansion,much needed in my view,GC2's only weakness.

The early beta builds let this exploit happen.It was changed.

Reply to Ship Type Question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The ships and battles are more like the Startrek,Babylon5 universe,which is more consistent to sci-fi. WW2 in space is which Starwars introduced to sci fi, some like BS copy it.

In my marathon game i just had, i allied with the thalan while playing Terran and the diplomacy grapth did not have the blue line connecting showing we were allied.The matrix grapth stayed showing the trading grath colour.The main relations UI page said i was allied, but in the UI section showing all the matrix style relations grapths it said we just on friendly terms.I saved and reloaded a couple of times and it stayed showing the wrong grapths.
