Reply to Can Non-Military Cultures Wage a Successful War? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, there is. First, non military cultures should focus on trade, diplomacy, and research. If you build up significant trade routes with a variety of neighbors, you can quickly leverage control. It will build you relations with them (helped by the added diplomacy), and as you get rich, so do they. Should a war arise, you then have powerful group of friends to either call to your aid, or to get money from. If you build a good economy,

Reply to Forgive the rant: in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You can modify your star clusters, I personally like this feature, as I think that it adds spice to it (have to modify your gaem style based on whats around you (and you can be very sucessful in either of the situations you mentioned).

The Neutrality reasearch is nice though since it takes much less time to research it hen it does to research discovery sphere. I'm glad they finally implamented it.

Reply to I want so much to like this game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I still can't take on the Dread Lords on Cake walk with any sureity on any ai level (and I'm playing sandbox on challenging). The only way I beat the campaign was on the earth mission was to crash my economy in a mad sprint, while selling almost all I had to finance a mad dash to teh DL planet. When it ended, I was maxed out on my debt limit, loosing hundreds of bc a turn, and had only one shot. It wasn't pretty, but worked.

Reply to UP useless? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I was going for an influence win and the UP suddenly started rolling out limit the number of modules on starbases every single time. When that happend to me, I waved good bye and walked away. The increased culutre from my bases allowed me to leverage enough influence to make up for the loss of trade.

Reply to War: What is the goal in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

What I've found in beta 2 is that the ai holds off on attacking planets unless it's confident it can win. They will usually bypass my planets until they find one with only 4-5 ships and no orbital fleet manager, then pick it apart. As far as invading goes, they comp. has worked me several times, usually setting up orbital blockades to destroy my ships as I produce them, or launching massive deep strikes into my territory. I had one where they flew though my whole empire to attack a core world

Reply to Biggest planet you've seen in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Class 72 was my top, found it fairly early in my playing experiance, havn't seen one since. Heres a link to my original post with a picture and save game file.

Reply to Strategies & Tips in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've notcie dthe smaller ships issue. With the increased logistics in the beta, you can amass large fleets of throw away ships quickly. On a normal intelligence level I got a military victory with out ever equiping my ships with any defense, nor building anything larger then tiny. I just mass produced, built fleets of 9 or more ships, and swarmed anything I came across.

Reply to Custom ships!?!?!? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It's not located in the system folder. You need to go to mydocuments/mygames/galciv2/ships. This is the defualt directory, if they are not there, then your program has been modified. You could try running a file search, put in the name of one of your ships, then track it down manually (if above location doesn't work). I clean mine out every two or three weeks.

Reply to Regret buying the game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I personally think, thatif all who owned the game were asked, teh AI would be ranked very high. Unfortunitly, the nature of a startagy game is that no matter how good the aiis, it's still ai. It's limited, it isn't as smart as a human is, nor ever can be. Humans will always be able to find some nook or cranny with which to exploit (I use the word exploit because it is taking advantae of something he ai has no way to counter, I don't mean "cheat" oth

Reply to Recent Update??? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just played my first beta 2 game, set on a higher ai then I usually play at. When they come to you to end a war, it seems you can get much much more out of them. Proberbly a result of hte change to where they are more willing ot trade, but I was geting at least five techs and several thousand bc each time they sued for peace. Kinda liked it, made me feel like I was really working them.
