senate elections in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

i wonder if senate elections are influenced by some factors or depends only by morale. for example if i choose the war party and lose the last elections can i influence the elections in a way favourable to war party declaring war to another race; if a war is in a stalemate can it influence the rise of populists?if i build a lot of trade routes will it boost mercantile party strenght?summarizing rise of your opposition parties is random or depends from events and your way of play?

Reply to The Ulimate Showdown: Galactic Civilization 2 vs Civilization 4 in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'll throw my 2 cents ... * * * Civilization 4 works great here. Never had a problem. It never crashes for me. If you get enough people you will have horror reports for any games. I read somewhere here that GalCiv 2 doesn't work out of the box on Windows 2000 in non English. Probably only 10 people here have that problem. But if you sell a zillion copies like Civ

Reply to The Ulimate Showdown: Galactic Civilization 2 vs Civilization 4 in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

There is no way that you can compare both games in a reallistic way. Civ4 is a game about one planet many races, Galciv 2 is a galactic game where there are many planets, many races, ship design and so on and so forth, so it is kind of hard to compare two games that are very much different. these are both TBS games i'm not comparing halflife2 a

Reply to The Ulimate Showdown: Galactic Civilization 2 vs Civilization 4 in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Dumbed down compared to what? Certainly not Civilization III, which had even worse AI, stiffer diplomacy, and even less distinguished civilizations. The combat system is a bit less obvious, but I happen to think Civ3's was worse because it was both unrealistic and unbalanced. Of course, I'm pretty sure GC2 will blow any Civ game away. But I prefer to see them as com

Reply to The Ulimate Showdown: Galactic Civilization 2 vs Civilization 4 in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

in my opinion the greatest difference between galciv2 and civ4 is the deepness of gameplay. civ4 is a very good ggame and truly deserve the award of game of the year, but in terms of gameplay it is a lot dumbed down just to make the game more commercial: -intelligence is a joke -diplomacy is a bit rigid -combat system is totally irrealistic but very well balanced -civilizations aren't so much distinguished in terms of deepness the game lacks of atmosphere, wonder v

Reply to Ship Hull Styles in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

it's far different too from different national ships. we are speaking about alien race it seems very unfair that they share the same hulls. anyway it's a minor problem that will be surely solved soon.

Reply to Ship Hull Styles in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Peace Phoenix it's not a problem but jpf is right every major or minor race should have at least a unique hull. it adds a lot to race characterization.

it would be very good if in a future bonus pack could be included a video of 20-30 mins which tells all history behind galactic civilizations. i don't know if it will be possible but probably will be the best bonus pack we could obtain from stardock. if other people like the idea we could make a poll where we demand stardock to do this specific video as a future bonus pack. P.S.: I'm not good in programmation or informatics so i don't know if doing a video like it would request too mu

casual bad events management in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

when some of the bad events occur(race civil war, zealots which try to release a monster, terrorist civilization), it's only your task to face these events or other major races will collaborate (directly or indirectly) to resolve the issue? another question which interest me in case that a civil war break out inside a civilization(screenshot of arcean civil war) can you establish diplomatic relations with both factions? as example arcean rebels faction will be a minor race or another major

Reply to Non-optimal defenses sqrrt rounding? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

so defenses are cumulative for example a 36 beam attack fighter , against a fighter with 12 beam defense 9 mass drivers defense and 16 missile defense will get a total defense of (12+3+4)=19. another question is for every point attack suffered a ship will lose 1 hit point or there are other calculation to measure it?
