My tactic would be to arm the spore ship with the cheapest weapon you could get. A particle beam would be enough to clear away that pesky colonyship.

Reply to A Walkthru of Dark Avatar in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Dark Avatar has a new combat system: Battles take place on a per weapon basis instead of all weapons being summed up into a single shot by a single ship. This makes ship design even more important and makes capital ships more valuable (but also more expensive). Good. This will give a much need upgrade for combat. I still long for mor "into it" combat. EX: My capital ship has 5 doomrays and 20 laserVs (don't ask why, it just does). I want to be abl

Reply to Five Reasons Windows Vista is good for gaming! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Not that this got anything to do with Vista but humans are extremely violent by nature, its just that the average joe isnt aware of this since they werent around during the first and second war where millions after millions of people were slaughtered. You dont even have to go so far back, just look at the iraq civil war. Estimated 700.000 causalties so far and its

Reply to Dark Avatar: The Graphics difference in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Moreover, because of improvements in how we did the textures, they actually use less memory. How did you guys manage that? Usually the better the graphics, the slower your machine will run...atlest THATS how I thought it worked. Will these new textures be implemented to the ships,planets,ect?

I wish you could research whole new starbases. You could first start with a basic starbase that does nothing except be there and watch over the area. Then you could research the different types that would be far different than the same old deck of three. EX starbases: range, sensor, inverter beam*, trade, production, attrition**, cultural, espionage, carrier starbase***, Terrorstar**** *A starbase that would lock parts of the map with a starbase until you can counter rese

Wait, what in the blazes is going on here? A gold edition that combines the Galciv2 Dread lords with DA for better value? That doesn't usually happen until a while. Does that mean the original buyers of Galkciv2 got a bad deal?

Gosh, wish I'd had time to follow and participate in this thread before things got so thick and fierce. Yes it has gotten ugly pretty fast, but who didn't see this coming. I don't want to be a flammer or a "Brad basher", but Brad: What were you thinking when you made this post!? When you have microsoft on the homepage of this website, your just a

56. luck for me, it was in hands of Altarian.... but still, sick. ??? I bet the planets don't even HAVE 56 squares. So that sucks for the really high planets.

I think we should start a boycutt on stores that sell Vista. Get petitions signed and stuff like that. If a large amount of the public went to Walmart and said: "We are not going to shop here anymoer until you stop selling Vista! And heres all our names on paper" And then all those people don't shop at walmart period and invite others not to also. After a mon

I find it odd for stardock to be promoting microsoft...fishy even. But anywho, microsoft will have another Bigger and better operating system in the future that will almost certainly claim that it is better than vista. Don't you people see that microsoft has been using this tactic for years? Playing us all for chums is what they're doing ! Then they will make games and programs that require vista

Yes, it's hard to believe, but when he first starting posting to these forums, Evil Stormbringer used to be evil. How evil? Provide a few links to his misdeeds if they still exist! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=

Reply to Maurading Pirates in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Pirates should have fast, but weak ships. They should raid traders and for every trader they raid, they get more money. They can also get money from destroying other ships, but they get the most from traders. With that money, they can upgrade their ships. Pirates actually have access to all technologies that at least 2 civs have (like the barbarians in Civ). <B

Is the planet quality bonus to the percent? EX: You have +20% planet quality. Does that mean you can have a class 5 into a class 25? Technically if you have the planet bonus, shouldn't you be able to colonize class 0 planets?
