Reply to What priority should multiplayer have? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I think people against multiplayer should choke and die (froginol excepted, of course). Hey, you asked .

Reply to Minor bug in latest beta (.018) - contacting other races in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

If you think about it, its not THAT unexpected- the races already had contact with one another, its just that it was really expensive to travel between the stars.

Frankly, guys like that tend to not be very popular. Military aggression is just one factor. http://www.solidsharkey.com/ur-quan04.html

For the love of sweet merciful heaven, I implore you to either vote "yes" or don't vote at all . Skew the results!

Reply to No planetary bombardment? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Aside from the fact that Froginol doesn't want it in there, I can really only see planetary bombardment making it into the game if they implemented some method of raising the PQ of a planet (beyond the limitations of the orange/red/yellow squares). Otherwise, use of these tactics would slowly reduce the habitable sections of the universe... Also, raising the PQ of a planet in order to repair damage from PQ lowering invasion tactics is a pet

Reply to Medium Hulls useless?? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

"Bigger ships need bigger components" Which makes sense for the engines, armor, and perhaps sensors to a certain extent. I can but wonder about the weapons.

Reply to Is it Cheating if... in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Generally if it involves messing with ingame attributes by editing files, its cheating. This goes for all games.

Anyone? Bueller?

Reply to Can a Dev answer this? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I coulda sworn that Froginol posted that creativity raises the chance of you getting a tech upon capturing an enemy planet- the "next technology free" thing is a result of excess research points, not creativity.

Reply to Altarian Republic Evil in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe its a result of the tweaking to diplomacy - diplomacy now gives a bonus to your relations with other races. Since the Drengin typically do not research diplomatic techs (or at least, not very much), they would tend to be most effected by this change.

Reply to Impossible to demolish any Starports. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Ya I noticed this too... not really sure what the reasoning was- maybe it was to prevent the bug that occurs when you cancel the starport while something is in the queue, thus causing the colony management screen to eternally show one colony as building whatever was in the queue in the time.

Reply to I think Resources are overpowered in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Franco, uhm, its a FACT that the influence resources are ridiculously powerful- have you even played this game? I don't know why you seem to have it out for the updates that play a large part in the popularity of this game... are you actually an agent hired by a rival company to screw up stardock ?

Reply to Constructor Headaches in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, why not have Froginol stop releasing tweaks- hell, while we're at it, why not abandon the stardock business model altogether! Then when the company turns into a flaming wreck, we can all thank Franco for his brilliant idea . Seriously, the constructor thing is a major pain in the ass, the ability to automate it somehow would be a godsend.

Reply to Having alien populations on conquered worlds suggestion. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

"so where do alien populations come from?" When a mommy alien and a daddy alien love each other very much.... or when a mommy alien gets very, very drunk... Actually, nevermind, just ask your parents. And yeah, so long as they learn the language and are followers of our culture, let the Mex- err aliens in!

Why can't it be both ? And in reply to #6: Egads, its like an intergalactic version of STARFORCE!

Both . I research all the way up to discovery spheres just for the Omega Research Center project. +50% research is a lot, especially with Neutrality Learning Centers.

Reply to Tech stealing spies in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This is normal- and I guess its kinda to be expected- its unlikely that the screening process for people who have access to high technology in such precarious times would somehow miss a trait like "so absolutely sociopathic that he/she will sell out his own race in favor of the promise of reward from beings from another planet". Thats one thing that always bugged me about Moo2. How exactly can a human impersonate a Melkar? How would one fi
