Reply to Is it just me or is everyone playing the game zoomed out all the way? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I zoom out to see the icons at the beggining and end of each turn.. and when im moving between planets and such.. all other times i zoom in far enough to see the models.

Reply to Iconian Refuge - Worst Race? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

...hmm... yah thats bad. I guess that kinda explains why ive yet to play a game where the Iconian Refuge was a threat. They are the only race that starts with Starship defense and Armor Theory

Reply to STICKY: EASY TWEAKS to make the game better for you in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I dunno if this counts as a tweak or a full blown feature...but.. Allow players making a custom race to choose the template for the offical races. So, I could make a race and give them the Drengin abilities and such. I know this is possible by selecting that race and changing their name/appearance etc..etc.. but id like the option to have their abilities, but still play against them <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Sm

that double the odds thing may be worth going good...just for that. having a race surrender to you can be a HUGE advantage.

I think it is probably a civ wide rule. having a planet at 100% approval is fairly common.

A TIP for planet defense in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I feel like im spamming the forums, but I discovered this last night... well i wouldnt say discovered, more like i thought of this and thought id share it with anyone who hasnt thought of it yet. Anyway... Once you have the Orbital Fleet Manager, dont bother building your good ships to orbit the planet. I have a ship I call the "Blockade Runner"... basicly just a regular ship, with a cool defensive look, but I give it no engines,

Reply to Can somebody please explain? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

here is what ya do. or at least...this is what ya can try . His weakest armor is against mass drivers... so.. get a tiny ship.. give it three mass drivers (48 attack) and 2 engines (use the mk 2s instead of the mk 3s).. for 10 movement. You can fit 14 of these in a fleet. I dunno if it will take him out.. but your attack matches

Reply to Good...Neutral..Evil..it doesnt make sense. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

no..but I might win cause I have the extra 20% bonus on a planet that I got for killing babies It may just be flavor..but some of the bonuses you get for making the evil choice are very real from a gameplay perspective.

Good...Neutral..Evil..it doesnt make sense. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I dont WANT to be evil..but I also dont want penalties to my planets. I am having a hard time finding any reason to be good. I have not fully delved into all of the bonuses available to each alignment and seen how they effect gameplay..but from what I can tell by reading it, it seems like good civs have a SLIGHT bonus in their abilities, over evil civs. And good civs get the defense bonuses, which is fine except that defense is nowhere n

Reply to The value of a good defense? in Game Talk Stardock Forums

just going by what ive "felt" while playing... not any actual numbers here.. but.. When i have an equal technological level in a weapon, and a defense.. I find that the weapon is a much better thing to have. That is very vague and hard to understand .. let me put it differently.. a scenario: by mid game I may have researched half

Let us pick other races traits for our custom race in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I dont think this is possible..havent been able to figure it out if it is. But, it would be nice if we could select other races "abilities" as our own for a custom race. I love the Yor abilties and starting techs ..and id really like my custom race to have the same.

Reply to Starbase module stacking question in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I think people are gonna find that starbases are overpowered eventually. I was on a large map.. and had a relatively small area of the map for myself. So I went the route of researching all the starbase modules I could for attack an defense. Then I made some cheap medium ships with fairly good attack amd no defense. THEN.. I set all my planets to build constructors and upped their military production to really pump t

Questions about Diplomacy in Diplomacy GalCiv2 Forums

Just a few questions about Diplomacy. 1. How do you make someone like you? Give them things for free? Accept their trade proposals? I dont quite understand this part since there is no real way to see if you are making progress with a race when you do something. 2. What effects an opponent's surrender? What I mean is..when someone surrenders..what makes them give their remaining planets to one race or another? is it based on w

Wow.. thats all i can say in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well ive had the game for about 2 days now, and I have played it an obscene amount of hours in that time. What is scary is that.. if I had spent this much time with any of my other games ive played, id have already mastered it, beaten it, and be digging for more ways to play it. I have barely.. BARELY..scratched the surface with GalCiv2. Most of my time up to this point has been spent cheating against the computer to try diffe
