Reply to AI Victory in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I can help you only a bit before more apropriate persons will come (Frogboy anywhere? ;) ), however, from my observations: 1/ Yes, AI can take different approaches - few times I was involved in influence battle with another race (actually, I have even lost it few times). Research victory - I dunno, I tend to destabilize them or wage war on them if their research get too high - but logically AI should be able to get it ;) 2/ I think they are able to switch pursued strategy, however, it i

Reply to Seeking asylum in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Having not played Moo3, I cannot be exact in comparision, but the game is fun to play for sure, and the AI is reasonable good (I usually win at Smart setting in Beta - second highest, but Gamma is said to be tougher ;) ). It allows you to micromanage planets if you tend to, or have it done automatically through pre-defined queues (which, I believe, is commonly used option :), there is no ship design (which is good, as the ship design made moo1 and 2 too easy ...). From my point of view, the

Reply to Gal Civ and MOO MiM issue, but I'm mostly happy with Gal Civ in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There is one thing, that really insulted me on Moo forum and made me decide not to buy Moo 3 at all (you know, I live in eastern Europe and I cannot afford to pay 60 bucks for game as long as I am not pretty sure it will be a good game :) Most of the yea-sayers keep telling nay-sayers that "They do not understand the WHOLE NEW concept of Macro scale 4X game - that emparor does not control every bit of empire". If you will understand, you will like the game. No matter what, this

Reply to Beta 4A Oddities, Bugs and Thoughts in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just won cultural on Gigantic, and I have to praise Stardock people... so, here it goes - "Praise" And now, few suggestions ;) : 1/ Ship management gets very tedious in later phases on game. I would be glad if there would be some more automatization possible... Or maybe there is, but I cannot use it. I mean such an option as: - direct Constructor to starbase/resource selected from list, not on map - auto construct - constructor will head towards nearest not-fully upgraded b

Reply to Limited to a fixed max of 10 trade routes? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I generated over 2500 trade income, and I was running on zero taxes, and 100 pct. spending, throwing hell cash into espionage and destabilisation. I would say trade is a bit imbalanced in the moment... BTW, it is not related to this thread, but too lazy to start new... If there are more starbases into sector, their effects (like phase factories) are cumulative? If so, I am not sure of it is good...

Small graphics bug in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I made this report in Beta 2, it gets better, but not good enough. I concentrate on economics and development, and I am able to have planet with, lets say, Military and Social production ca 300, and research ca 1500. The graphics representation is ugly, going through planet image and so on. I would suggest special char for hundreds, not only tens.
