Reply to Concepts for expansion,Galactic Civilizations 3,or a new game?:Ringworlds,Dyson Spheres,'Spore',Etc. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Except for the mindbogglingly complicated ringworlds, planets+stars being destroyed+rebuilt. I believe MoO3 has a lot of those "features." One important bit in making a game is to Keep it Simple..... a lot of people cant play overly complicated games. More races probably wont happen since the "story" has been written already-- wont matter once the "attributes" of a civ are in xml form (so priority of "troop tech" can be set and so on..)

Reply to PQ ability may be under-rated in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In patch 1.1 then you get the extra tiles from the ability, but asrandom50 said, only with colonized worlds. I think invaded or culture flipped worlds show an increase numerically, but dont show extra tiles. (before the patch then all worlds only showed the numerical increase)

Reply to Maybe change NLC prereq? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

hate to disagree duckness, im playing hardest(suicidal?) right now against drengin.... i kinda feel bad cuz im using the missile one (psionic something?) and ive taken over enough planets to steal the prereq to the mass driver one.... so once they wise up and get defense against me im gonna just switch-doesnt seem like he got ethics . I think the AI should prioritize that (like the manufacturing techs and p

AI needs troop research?? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm currently trouncing the AI on like crippling (or something close), part of it is because, after they declared war on me (I had no military), I just switched research to troop techs, giving me advantage 9 to their 1.... except my crap planets they couldnt touch me. I then was able to research counter techs and build up an uber fleet... is it only the human and Korx AI's that dont give priority to soldier techs? w/o Planetary bombardment a la Moo3 then thats a pretty important tech....

Reply to Populations seems to increase at a constant rate rather than percentage in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

My only guess is that Stardock used "tiers" of growth is some table, ie if you have 10-12 pop u get X*(approval modifier), and if you have 13-15 pop u get Y*(approval modifier) By going "back" to 88?, did you mean 77?

Patch 1.1: Weapon techs "too" valuable?? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Just finished my first game on 1.1, I played 4 AI's randomly chosen on Tough on a Large galaxy. I got Humans, Altarian, Yor and Arceans. The beginning was pretty tough, I went -500 every other turn until a few big planets I had started getting me cash, using the new+improved PQ (although it doesnt seem to work sometimes?? I think it doesnt kick in when a planet culture flips). After my economy got going, I didnt need to fire a single shot, I could bribe the AI ea

Post-patch 1.1: Obsoleting Core ships in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I went to the Core tab in the Shipyard to obsolete the Core ships, and after obsoleting one, it kicked me out into the "all" tab.... was this intentional? It would be nice if you stayed in the same tab or something

Neutrality Learning Centers--Add to upgrade hierarchy in Research GalCiv2 Forums

With patch 1.1, Neutrality Learning Centers exist (thanks Stardock).. but they don't auto-upgrade (they should "exist" in the upgrade hierarchy above discovery spheres or something).... That would be really convenient. Nice patch, Takari

Reply to Question: Ship Design vs. Core Ships in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Anyone know how to delete the core ships (so they arent in the way) or know if that'll be an option later to hide them/free up their names for personal use?

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

Anyone know if that is a bug or a design choice? I think its a bug because your first planet does get different tiles if you take planet quality bonus (10 -> 12) but none of the other planets do..... Hopefully this is clarified / fixed soon, 8 pts for a small bonus like added max pop is pretty poor

Reply to Strategies & Tips in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I only played the first beta once, but I was forced to upgrade to larger ships when the computer got large hulls w/ defense, I just did not have enough room for firepower or speed so he could both outrun me and take my opening volley, then decimate what I had.... Did I wait too long? How do you guys counter high def ships (>20 or so, tiny hulls cant get high enough offense to do dmg consistently)

1.1 beta - overboard w/ AI changes? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just finished a game vs new "new+improved" terran AI.... boy they're WAY better. However, I think that for the scripts that choose the AI's techs, ya'll at Stardock may have gone a bit overboard. For example, while I was getting spanked all around by crazy battleships with like 70 attack and 150 defense..... I could also just ignore them because the AI never got advanced troop mod.... or like.... any soldiering bonus...... A planet w/ 50

On population, I just beat the new Beta AI (max AI w/o cheating) ONLY because I had high populations.
