in this game ur pretty much forced to trade tech because thats the only way to stay ahead of the ai though there are certain techs, such as weapons techs, that the ai wont trade over there dead body (well u can sometimes steal techs over there dead bodies)
that or the dregarian like concoring better than colonizeing wouldnt put it past them
dunno occupying 9-7 planets seems like winning to me
there are also trade goods and galactic achievements that affect ships
undo redo button, would definently cut down on design time for me as i tend to make alot of adjustments after i put pieces on to c which looks the best multiple selecting and changeing of size and rotation: would definently help out when u want to make somehting perfectly semectical while u change a part after u put it on also would make overall ship design easier no sharing of ships between species option: the ships that i make
yes they do roll over just finished a game where i reashurched 5 techs in one turn (records 6 anyone else beat that?)
when i heard the news bout how much v 1.1 was going to improve the ship builder i immediatly wanted that update right now extremely badly that improvement alone would make a huge update for me and alot of ppl out there but the fact that u guys r adding a ton of other stuff like ai updates just shows how good a developer u r but i digress, although v 1.1 will have a huge update in
now i know why that didnt work... makes sense once u think bout it thanks for the answer
plu on tough with all the ai set at intelligent the game is hard to beat as it is the fact that they have levels where the ai gets economic bounuses is not due to dumb ai but rather it is for those who fanatically play these games and need a huge challenge i personally think that when the ai is set on tough its hard enough to beat
while it is true that a good ai needs no cheats u still want those ppl who are amazingly good experts to play this game and still feel challenge. plus the ai will continually be updated in the updates (we have already recieved a warning that those who complained bout the ai being dumb will not have the last laugh in version 1.1....) and im sure that it will get alot smarter when they release the expansion
u only have to honor an alliance if someone declares war on ur aly and if some civ does that then u can choose wheather to honor the alliance or not, i usually do because it keeps the alliance and im usually so good with military that i can take a couple of planets while my ally is fighting the main war plus with 8 or 9 different species of aliens why wont there be any war?
think of it this way when u build a tile for diplomatic translaters that means that your building a factory that producses the little guys so that they can be used throughout your whole empire plus the ai has already been coded for this kinda stuff on smaller maps ur just going to have to choose between which wonders or if u realy need to build wonders at all.
Took my money,no game download lol the ultimate way to do buisness get ppls money and u dont have to give them anything in return its even more revolutionary than the no copy protection on the disks! no but
having a strong military dosnt help i mean noone wants to ally wiht a weakling
one thing that i think would be great would be either more or better tutorial videos or a training section of the campaign that is called training where you get guided through the step to play the game along with some suggestoins on more complex strategies
sounds like a case of ai thinking that it should still try and expand when it should go to war. good thing that it was able to know to reasurch military tech it just didnt do anything with it
cept that if ur that far in the tech tree u might as well go for a technological victory

set tactical zoom down so that ur not viewing lots of graphics at once, on big maps i usually play most of the time with just the icons and i zoom in when i need to take a closer look at the action.

cause by this time robots do all the work
expansion idea anyone?
how would u tell it from the rest of space? i mean all space is black thats why they do that brown for fog of war
Yeah yeah it's all cool and great until the Yor fire one at your manufacturing capital...then 'the game sucks'. there bad enough already dont give them any ideas!
definently interesting sounds like sim city on a MMO basis with research and warfare definently something that i need to look into once the beta comes out
Did you tried all save files? There are the "auto save" and the "previous auto save" besides any other you named yourself. Pressing the quicksaving there is even a fourth one name "quicksave". It would be hard to get them all corrupted. unless its the computers fault and not the software the only crahes i have seen are my own fault
yeah solar sailing is nice for week long family vaction cruises to mars but not for military ships
