Reply to Tech victory rumours in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

re: alliance "victory" in my game the AI terrans are "Close" with everybody, but they dont "ally" in order to "win". my custom race is allied to 2 races (including the terrans), neutral to one, "close" to the other two. i purposefully try not to win by alliance. (actually i did, but then reloaded to see what would happen...) would this be evidence that the AI does not "try" to win by alliance? or is my method flawed? -0.

Reply to Space Debris in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

are any of these ideas "moddable"? could one take a planet tile and wrap a new texture around it and call it a "supernova'd" star? can one create "events" to place in the game--or is this hard-coded? -0.

Reply to What is the goal of the AI players? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

there is a lot of space between what we want, what we have, and what we're gonna get. i think the devs will work dilligently within the budgetary constraints of their business plan. i'm sure the AI will improve incrementally in the next couple months; however, i don't feel the AI will ever truly be as "dynamic" a player as a human. there's no budget left for that--the most recent journal stated their roadmap for the next couple months and implied as much. so this is pretty

too bad it was "misposted". some people just cant roll with it, and so they say, "huh?". happens to me all the time. happened to Beckett. happened to Gaddis. happened to Joyce. don't be discouraged. write more. write often. or in Beckett's words, "fail. fail again. fail harder." eventually the women will come. or bois. depending on your preference... -0.

Reply to The Meaning of the Expansion Pack Poll Results (IMO) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

as for improving the UI--i am all for that. it is my understanding that that is happening. whether it meets anyone's expectations outside SD is another matter. clearly, they will hear about when it isn't. if it were up to me, and my sense of entitlement allowed it, i would want to spend the entire budget on AI development. not only will it improve the game--but Frogboy/Draginol/Brad Steve Ted Carrol and Alice's skills in AI development would improve as well. which, in the long run (

Reply to *SPECIFIC* Suggestions for Improved AI Aggressiveness in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

it's easy to shut down a dialogue when one can appeal to misunderstanding in order to keep a power dynamic. recovering power by sacrificing grace doesn't contribute to a mutual understanding. disavowing agency of the effect one has when communicating or stating ideas is dishonest. or naive. i have to admit it is hilarious to read the hysterics and melodrama. precursors performance during his noble monologue where he says, "...if you want me to repent and admit m

Reply to What determines 100% spending? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

check the threads from a few months back. i recall reading a fair bit of analysis explaining this phenomenon in an effort to split the sliders apart. the end result was that its not gonna happen as it would change the game too much. check it out, youll see. -0.

Reply to Expansion pack/addon idea in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i think the major caveat to carriers is that it is presumably very difficult to program the AI to use them effectively. at least within the confines of budget and time. or else we would have had them in game, i'm sure. i haven't seen any text that mentions a dislike for carriers from the devs. -0.
