Reply to All freighters between the same 2 worlds, does that lower gain? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I guess I'll start trading with everyone now instead of being selective. Yeah, it's the best form of diplomacy -- send each civ a freighter and he is less likely to declare war on you once his economy is hooked on your income. Naturally, they dont really care that much if the trade value is low.... a

Yes: Mining Starbases have no area of effect - they are galaxy-wide. Military/Economic/Influence only affect the shaded ring around them that you can see when they are selected. Also, mining starbases dont count towards the 3 parsec thing..... they are effectively mines, not starbases!

Also, I know it's not the proper place to post about this but everytime I load my game my small statistic screen on the Industry button goes back to 0 for every reace for only 1 turn. In other words my industry statistics show me holes for everytime I loaded the game. It's annoying.... All production

Reply to Possible movement bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Once they've run out of things to do, they do tend to just stop. The AI tends to use Flagships purely for anomalies - once they've gone, it parks it there forever. They use scouts to explore.... it would be a good idea if the AI could switch from using the flagship survey routine to the explore one. You will also notice that when scouts find something they're interested in, they tend to stay there for a while - this isn't such a problem as it gives the

Back to it, I see alot of complaints about the AI using 2 move fleets but I get the AI using fast ships, its frigates are at 4 move and their Troop Transports are at 6. That transport is nasty business and forced me to redesign my defences to compensate for it. Some systems were so close together that the AI could invade without

I've tried to change the home of a freighter, but can't seem to figure out how. When I sent a freighter from my manufacturing capital to my econ capital and forgot about it for a few turns, it still created a trade route to my manufacturing capital. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgCol

I would to have disagree with this. A game in some sense has to replicate, to a certain degree, to real life. In real life, I can choose to whom I want to give my money to. If I have $100 and I have 2 kids, I can give 1 kid $80 and another one $20, since the kid whos receiving $80 is older, hence need more money. It is so illogical that each time I have to split and give e

Reply to some bugs in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

"In my advanced game I researched the final farm technology (advanced farming) but noticed that it yielded no bonus at all to any of my farms. After upgrading them, they keep to the value they had before (8 mp). I think this is a bug as there seems to be no benefit from this technological advance." As far as I know, this top level farm doesn't work at the moment - look at the Gal Civ 2 wiki.... I seem to remember reading it there. So ye

Reply to Hexagon Grid in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Wasn't this one of the complaints Brad commented on where someone wrote to Stardock telling them that until they implemented Hexagonal grids they wouldn't be buying the game? Or was that the one where someone wanted the moon to revolve the other way around Earth?

Reply to Yet Another Economy Post in Economics GalCiv2 Forums

If the system is run by robots, then why are people taxed? You can only tax production; if people aren't making anything, you can't take anything from them. It's a pretty fundamental disconnect in the economic system of GC2, but the game is still fun regardless. If production is run by robots, then yo

I am going to answer your opinions with my own.... if that makes me a fanboy, so be it but I can't agree with half of what you have posted. First of all I would say that you have described it as if you know nothing about how the game works and that there is nothing to tell you how it works. While I might agree that there could be *better* documentation, it is hardly completely lacking. In game there are various mouse overs and screens that give you the information you need to make str

I ducked inside the starbase's field of influence and the Dregnin sat outside it for a few turns before continueing in after me. I might be giving the AI more credit than it deserves, but it seemed to not want to fight on my home turf given the huge advantage I'd have. I have actually seen the AI (t
