Reply to Planet quality question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Grab every planet possible. Though the higher PQ planets are prioritized. low PQ planets are used for research (one factory, rest of the tiles research labs) mid PQ planets are used for military production (1 starport and factories) high PQ planets are used mainly for economy (farms, morale boosts, and markets) Of course, those are just general guidelines, actual gameplay will change it. The rule of thumb is probably: Do not build a farm on planet

So.. I tried messing with the graphics option. The star is now a yellow ball and planets are blue and silver. I didn't expect turning down the graphics to have THIS much effect..

It really does seem that if they don't get a planet within sensors, they won't send colony ships out, not even blindly. Well that much can be said about the code. AI has demonstrated its inefficiencies as many dare not send out a colony ship until a planet is 'known,' even if all the scouts they build get blown up in the process.<

for the person who didnt understand number 3, I was talking about adding more things to combat than just atk, def and hp. also when saying ecm pulse, I meant emp device not another def thing. they are things that can work for autocombat aswell examples: -a emp wpn than neutralize the enemy for 1-3 turns but can only be used once per combat(can onl

Have you changed it when creating your race? Or was it correct the first time and get screwed woith CTRL+N? Hmm I got that from ctrl+n I believe. Not sure when the first time it happened. Now when I start a new game in the main menu, it still name the star/system custom star. Home planet has the right name, however. I also get all ki

Reply to Gal Civ 2 - so where are all the gals in Gal Civ2? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

My point was that the only thing keeping you (or anyone else) from considering most of the race leaders to already be female is your assumptions about what that ought to look like. Very true, as a human, I naturally assumed female aliens to resemble female human or have the feminine traits that creatures on earth have. In reality, it is p

Reply to Budgeting is STILL Fracked in GC2?? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

wow, so much interestin inputs. It was also because it was the sequel... I was just amazed that they could get it "completely wrong" twice in a row... again, just my opinion. I have to say that.. since you didn't voice your opinion at the first game, no one would knew that you though tit was completely wrong. The others didn't view it as a

So I did my own testing as well.

This is why I mentioned the Rome: Total War example... you build a bigger port. It can handle more trade. The game figures out what the most profitable routes are and sets up the trade routes -- you never even see the calculations. SIMPLE. But it modeled something "realistic" -- in real life the Romans built infrastructure that encouraged trade

the hero/leader will add to single player gameplay if done right. tactical combat though.. maybe it'll come when multiplayer option is around (aka galciv3 or galciv4) due to the difficulty in balancing AI to compete with players. Of course, i'm sure stardock can figure out the optimal configuration at all time for the AI, but that really wouldn't be fun anymore. Lastly.. i w

Reply to *** How was this game Released?*** in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

WHY DON'T CONSOLE GAMES GET RELEASED WITH 100'S OF BUGS? Sorry, just want to add one thing. While it's true that many console games have fewer bugs due to the fact that they can't be patched.. Console games also run on one system and one system only. They don't have to worry about what OS, the language of OS, the hardware performance, et

I don't understand screen capture programs. Just press print-screen and paste the image into ms-paint (if you don't have a better image editing program) and save it somewhere as a JPG file. Easy peeeeezy. Rinse and repeat for each screenshot you want to take. For some programs though, you don't have to go through the trouble of copying,

if the tax rate is 10 points or more behind yours.. wouldn't that means they get a lower tax? high tax means people aren't happy. low tax means people will be happy. Each planet has its own research/manufacturing points. You would need a star port in the manufacturing planet.

if you really have no clue... Go to the diplomacy screen and look at the planet they have. There should only be one, their home planet. Then you can select the "Planet/Ship List" button, click on the foreign tab to display all the planets that does not belong to you. Find the planet, then left click on the planet image.
