You can purchase unlimited upgrades in a turn, but the 1 rushbuild/turn a limit still applies for new construction.. Too many new players would bankrupt themselves, and it just isn't realistic. (Shut up about damn space battle realism, it could happen in 220 years!) <TABLE cellpadding=8 wid

So, what's the difficulty? You do know the rule about commenting on AI stupidity below Intelligent right? Anyway, those funky Altarians, how froody of them. Crush them.

Sub normal with a 26? You Jessie! It's true, the game spams +20 planets on gigantic, to the point that the micro management is irritating. It's also true those bloody Terrans are irritating. It matters not, all shall fall to the Drath. All your planet are belong to us.

Reply to Campaign - Siege in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Theoretically impossible, although if the AI is high enough your allies can help. DO NOT FIGHT THE DREAD LORDS. I tried it and it was a long slog which I lost. Be quick, nab the Yor and Drengin planets, and it's won. You can't really touch the DL till Apocalypse, when you have to go toe-to-toe with them, the Drengin and the Yor. Have as many planets as you can, so you can afford to lose some, get soldiering techs, recapture planet, get a free tech. Onl

Don't have the infrastructure, then don't research it. It's that simple. There would be too many options and too many annoyances IMO. Plus the AI would have to be re-written to evaluate what it should build when.

Yup, it used to be at 70%. If you need it at 81% then you really need to rethink your economy

Reply to "terraform" starsystem? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

No, won't get in. Ever played a gigantic map with eyes of the universe, rare planets, about year 10? Ouch for lag. Terraforming would just kill some comps.

Reply to Guide for newbies in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Great guide, but I disagree with managing the Dread Lords. A tactic I've found to work is use medium or large hulls, and remember that the given weapon value is max. With enough shields, even medium ships can survive a Dread Lord. And since they rarely fleet properly, and have the same hp as anyone else, then it's a matter of whether those plasma cannons will work. Once you start to head through the tech tree, you can make small fighters that completely outclass the DL, then you use them. But me

Rest of the .err please? it says there is a problem using default format, and seems to be trying to work in 16bit, which it can't.

Reply to getting fed up with this software because it will not run. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Post the rest of the .err please. It could just be a game problem. We also have no idea which parts of the game are running, this is nowhere near enough info to do anything.

If you want the real reason, check out the foregin relations tab. Gives a full breakdown of why they hate you. Trade is good not for the money, but for the diplomacy advantage it affords. More diplomacy= cheaper everything.

Reply to Few questions about gameplay in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

1) Planet quality is the number of available tiles on a planet. It is the number by a planets name. 2) Get it to advanced, then you stop spending. Occasionally a tech is stolen.

#5. Maybe add something in the espionage window for counter-espionage. This would allow you to reduce the effectiveness of other species' espionage on you. Plus, it might make it possible for an agent to get caught, hurting relations between the two species. Just wait for the expansion, adds all the a
