Weaknesses in AI Stragey in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've now played the game against Genius AIs (still have to play against Incredible) but I noticed it doing a few things wrong that it also does on the Bright level. I feel these are fairly obvious mistakes to be avoided... 1) The AI never builds farms. This not only means that the AI has a limited revnue base to do construction and research with, but also that its' worlds are that much easier to conquer, because they all contain either 5 o

When ships are stacked, it is not possible to get to the single-ship interface.

Terran Alliance Starting Abilities? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I want to restore the Terran Alliance to its original ability set. The probelm is, I don't know what that is anymore, and there is no button that seems to do this. Does anyone know what those abilities are, or a way of doing it short of re-installing the game? Thanks!

It drops really fast, actually. I just did it in a game, and everyone died within a couple weeks.

Yeah, I was playing in the Campaign. Huh, if I take creative, can I get campaign limited technologies?

Shields Technology? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just played a couple games, and I see Shields mentioned as a technology required for a few ship designs. I can't find Shields anywhere in the tech tree though! (And, I spent a LOT of time looking!) What's going on here?
