Reply to AI cheating on first turn (buys more than one social improvement per planet) ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

well, my thoughts have run the gamut here from start to finish. i've done a complete 180 on it and i don't think it should be fixed in gc2. something does need to be added to the manual, and perhaps even a disclaimer on the loading screen is in order. it's kind of funny, because this bug definitely affects me pretty severely. i'm not one to reload after a couple bad turns, but i am one to only play a couple turns per night. hey, when you work 10-12 hours a day it's hard to

Reply to any zboard fang mods out there? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

i posted some of this in a different forum, that's why it might sound a little wierd: once your empire hits a certain point, with a mature economy and morale resources, you want to go through and have all your colonies which are at or near their population cap to build a farm. so you have to go through this procedure for each planet: select tile (random location, center of screen) queue farm construction (random loc, right side) select farm (random loc,

note: ideazon uses the word 'mod' also, so this would be a mod, or profile, for the fang, not a mod for gcii per se.

any zboard fang mods out there? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

just picked up one of these controllers for wow, and i want to start binding gcii buttons to its keys. without keybinding functions in gcii, though, i'm going to have to assign mouseclicks to the keypad. so far i can't figure out how to do this with the fang software or windows xp, so i'm going to have to use a third party macro program. trouble is, i have a sneaking suspicion that the macro program would get me flagged and banned as a botter in wow. any input?

Reply to Neutral Learning - do you? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

well i, for one, think that good should be penalized economically for "doing the right thing," or not choosing the most exploitative course of action. if choosing to act righteously also happened to provide the biggest benefit to society, then there would be no moral dilemma, and all societies would choose it, good, neutral, or evil.

Reply to Just another newbie question in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I guess I'm having a difficult time figuring out the economics of the game. Trying to keep taxes low enough while still having a positive cash flow has eluded me. I turned off taxes for a while in the game that my population went to 0. Didn't make a difference. Now I have money but my planets won't build any ships. all of your colonies will

Reply to Are Defenses Worth Their Expense? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

in DA i'm using a custom race with +40 def, +20 weapons, and +50% luck. with the race/party bonuses, an old def roll of 1-10 becomes a roll of 7-14. paired with the superwarrior ability i'm really looking forward to large fleet battles, and trying to guide this game along into some major confrontations. however, i just downloaded the expansion and haven't played past the opening yet, so it will be fun to see how the AI messes with my evil plan...

Reply to Secrets of Troop Transports Revealed in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I think you would lose the 4B transport, but retain the 1B transport. I usually use 2B transports. If I have 2 in a fleet, and I lose 2B in battle, they will both be lost and I will end up with 2B on the planet. If I lose 1.99B, I will retain one 2B transport and have .01B on the planet. So if you lost exactly 1B using a 1B and a 4B, you would retain t
