Ok...I am sure this has been asked, but my searchfu is down today...bad day...Anyway, WHen I get a champion with a bonus, lets say +1 Reasearch point a turn, OR any other for that matter you think of it, does he/she have to be in a city in order to contribute that bonus?

I am overseas right now...I am trying to download the 1.09 patch, but keep getting dropped...are there any overseas servers by chance? -Gizme
You are talking in the campaign correct? Yeah, i was confused to...You need to split your forces and send one group to the south to warn all the previous sovs you met.

Took me a bit to figure it out too. -Gizmet
Ok, just wanted to make sure I didn't get/do something wrong. Thanks. -gizmet

"Probably the biggest thing a lot of new players don't notice is that when you colonize a planet, it actually drains money from your income and you need to upgrade its Infrastructure (first upgrade option) before it starts generating money through population taxes. A good rule of thumb that works for me is that you should expand when you can afford this upgrade as soon as the planet is colonized." Oh, I just thought of this as I hit the post reply button...:) Maybe I am blind or somethi

Hello all, I just bought the game and I like it so far, but I can't seem to do anything right...:) What I mean is I am playing in the small 1v1 map, vs AI, and he comes in with this HUGE fleet...something like 3 cap ships and and TON of various frigates.
