a good one would be that the united planets is divided into two opposing sides (good and evil) and the neutral factions have to be persuaded to join your side. this would give the good races a better chance in winning a war because they are better at diplomacy and so are more likely to get the neutral factions to join there cause, while the evil races would not gain as many additional allies but are usually more powerful anyway (this would create a sort of cold war sit

one small problem... white holes are the EXIT in such (speculative) situations. in other words, the drive you mention is meaningless, since you enter (and are pulled in) by the black hole, and you are expelled by the white hole which immeidately pushes you away from itself and into this new galaxy (and i don't believe anyone's claimed such a thing could be a two-way street). Not necessarily, if you win a "Ascend" into pure energy (Tech Victory) I'm sure

A White Hole is discovered and leads to another galaxy! Which race will be brave enough to enter? Ofcourse since it repels objects with great force, you must research a new type of thruster to enter it safely and another type to escape the black hole on the other side! (Not really a mega event, but it would still be cool....In my opinion)

Reply to New player impressions about the tech tree in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I don't see WHY the tech descriptions in Galciv2 are lacking. If any of you played Galciv1, you would know that the tech descriptions are long and describe what you just researched. I think the worst desciptions are the colonization techs, they hardly tell you anything at all!

Like and ogre? Funny, I was thinking the same thing.... At any rate ,simplicity and depth are two different things. I just think the game is over-simplified making it,well, boring. My facorite one is hopping around planets and teasing the opponent making them scan(or atleast moniter) the planets I have been at to make sure I'm not around.

BIG Idea For Planets in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

To me planets in Galciv2 also don't have the thrill of adventure. The colony rush for many is a very annoying part of the game. Getting beat to a planet by Lord Konna by one turn can be a bit of a doozy. They also don't have depth to them. They might have a production tile and a morale, but they don't have a personality. For example, a radioactive planet doesn't have any penalties to the population growth or have any way to defend against the radiation. (Ofcourse, I don't know that ent

A whole bunch of aliens come in from another galaxy, so powerful that even the Dread Lords suck their thumbs. There is a decision to either band together to stop these aliens, or do it alone. Geeze, thats usually the race I make!

Space Junk Space junk in space has increased dramatically slowing down mass drivers and ships alike. Mass Drivers now suffer a moderate penalty to their attack and ship speed has been decreased by 2. However, you can build a new line of modules on your starbases to harvest this junk and boost your production. These starbases will now funnel junk to any planet of your choice, much like asteroid bases.

You have discovered an ancient device that creates wormholes in this galaxy. Unfortunately the device has been used so much that it can only create one more wormhole. Where will it be activated and where will the wormhole lead to?

I like the idea of a creature attacking the galaxy, but for every third or fourth ships it destroys, it gains all of that ship's military abilities (incluing it's experience), so it gets indefinately more powerful until stopped. a dyson sphere (a structure built around a star to utilize all of it's energy. It would have tremendous living space on it, like a massive planet), which was previously cloaked, appears in a random sector (more than likely a sector und

Drats, I can't edit. Rephrase: A race of beings from another galaxy* that offer to sell you(or someone else) unique technology that can not be gained by conventional means. (Only the person they contact can buy these items) * I suppose they could be from another universe, but this would be a much rarer variant of this event. Some technology that would be cool to buy from them: -ENORMOUS HULLS: Lets you build very expensive hulls that can hold tons of equipment

Reply to Does high performance count as a feature? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Does high performance count as a feature?... ....Marketing says no I say YES! Major yes. DA is practically unplayable on my cpu, and others are reporting huge slowdown as well. My theory: If a game can't run......Then that game bites. Even if it has good ideas and expansions. (Which DA has) PS: Does anyone have the DA Beta? I would rather play that then have a game that runs like a snail on moonshine. <img src="http://im
