for a 'defece' fighte i dont use sensors, life support or engines i usually add 1 defence, rest weapons why 1 defence? because it make them able to befit from star base defence, and can turn them into deadly ships why no engines? coz they sit in orbit doing nothing 99% of time
I not entirely sure what happends here, it happen quite randomly... Basically while playing screen randomly god white, with black text, i mean the entire screen, oddly planet shop up in colour but surrounded by boxes the game still fuctions but is compleatly unplayable in this state fortunately they just enough visible to save game exit and reload right away and everything is fine again. i think it be h

evil races die quickly because the good races 'gang up' on them, they see them as something that should be purged from the system if you want a challenge, play evil and you soon see the good races ganging up on you heehee
i found a hugh planet early game and decided to make it my home world, esp as it was easy to defend and they was 3 other good sized planets around the same sun Thing is i expected my new homeworld to become my new colony capital, but this is not the case sadly So now i wonder, what is the point of assigning a new home world, what the benfit if any at all?
i think this confirms the idea is certainly possible then, and i sure it wouldnt be to hard to add and yes i agree with foxdrake too, they 'should' be a event, at least a optional one, i personally like to play the open game, i not bothered with the campain at all, it dont appeal to
Before i start first of all i love GC2, it has its flaws just like any game, but also like any game the could do soo much more, i like list few idea's of my own, i like see more strategy, more epic feel, all the while maintaining the basic simplisity of the current game, i try keep it it simple and easy to read, i apreciate people comments also Deeper Stratergy
this is my exact point, i mean it be like asking for a law on minimum speed ship when its compleately inpossible to create a ship of that speed for anyone due to lack of tech or some other insane suggestion that just is not possible. you cant ask for a law on a theroetically inpossib
in my opinion its not inpossible to create epic feel but it needs some work, first of all tiny and small ships can be converted to fleets as opposed to single units, let me explain before people jump the gun... basically tiny and small building them would not create one single fighter but 1 single group of fighters with a equivelent rating, this group functions exactly like a sigle fighter in terms of stats, graphically speaking you ge
i agree with this, the computer knows when you give a enermy of his 'gifts' (in report it says "i know what your upto") they could just treat tech trading in the same way, reguardless where you got tech from ie tech trading is doing to full extent, but carries extra
I agree with idea of trading only what you researched for 2 reasons 1) it limits tech trading but does not remove its usefullness 2) if you want a tech you need to hun down its orginator, and not somebody who bought it (chance are it was your enermy that invented that deadly weapon you after, tough luck eh lol
the problem with Yor is not miniturization, its the fact they have too many bonus's, minturazation alone is VERY powerfull its the equiverlent of enhanced minturization right from the start, couple that with 100% loyalty, all there other bonus's and on top of that the best starting tech in the game (all the plantary improvement xeno tech AND ion drive) i wouldnt mind so much about the minturization bonus if they was so overp
the goverment is only nice assuming yu get the vote tho, fail to get the vote and the penaly early game can be quite a hiderance
I just had the FIRST coucil meeting, and it was to force law of star federation goverment type, they was passed as yes, so now we all force to star federation, the top goverment type i personally see this as a bug as its just insanely crazy, NON of the nations have even research any dilomacy type skills past universal traslators, if fact some still dont have universal traslators, so they dont even know the most basic goverment never mind top
I like to play gigantic map because i like space to breath in my games, and also like to fields as many aliens as i possibly can, which clearly is going make things more crowed lol Addtionally i also always play custom race I also greedy and want see more more and more lol bearing all this i mind i have 4 suggestions. 1) Allow for a BIGGER galactic map (or 2) maybe call them 'Galactic' (and 'Universe' i
i had simlar bug, my speed 8 constructions was limited to speed of 4 after the resolution. As for the anomlies, i think they should periodically appear after the intial distribution, ie even after all the anomlies have been cleared and few new ones will appear as the game progresses. more varation would be nice, random event type thing also be a nice addtion to anomlies
i love this idea and i totally agree, i like the option to 'warn' AI about certain things without actually threatening them. to select a certain base and 'warn' them you dont like it and get some kind reaction from them Reaction could be for example.. Friendly... Remove it right away Friendly... Offer a small fee for your trouble Hostile... Ask just what you gonna do about it and laugh Hostile... ju
I try to monoplise the trade goods as soon as i can, and i dont sell them, least not for a LONG while, late game if i have long term allies and i running on hard times, then and ONLY then i might part with the trade goods. In my last game i managed to get all the trade goods to myself heehee I kind of hope they can introduce MORE trade good to game, so its not so easy to molopolise them all, but also t create more veraity, e
In my experiance Defence does not seem very effective and hardly worth it, and from what i read other seem to find the same, the super high damage ships seem far more effective. For this reason it would make sense to make a small ajustment to make defence a more viable option, something like making defence equipment slightly smaller so can fit a little more on would certainly add a little more balace, exactly how much of a change i not sure,
I dont belive it, i stuggled so much on this game in past, but tonight i just owned a hugh galaxy 9 aliens, but the odd thing is, i never built ANY combat ships, and not once did anyone decare on me it was crazy, granted i had insane diplomacy and strong economy, early game i bribed the 2 biggest nations to war each other, then bribe my closet neigbour (altarian) to keep them sweet so not to bully me as i had NO combat abilty, before i knew it altarian
yea its a little fustrating, its clearly a problem with logitech mice, but logitech are not doing anything about it so it seem, i wont knock them tho, they are GOOD mice, and i always found a work around to the relitivly minor problem, if gal civ 2 can add a key the fuctions like middle mouse however, or just more camera control via keyboard, then that too will cure my problem with this game <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gi
yes it has programable buttons, mouse wheel works, middle mouse works in MOST games, but the few game it didnt work in i was able to simply keybind a alternative to one of the mouses many buttons, so up untill now i had no problem with it, but this game is one those game, but has no keybind alternative sadly, or i could just program mouse for the game
is they any way i can possible map a different button to control camera (normally controled using middle mouse) seems my middle mouse does not work with this game (logitech mx1000 laser)
only change missing that i would like is to be able to subsituite option to middle mouse, i cant rotate camera as middle mouse dont seem to work with this game (tho does work with almost any other game)
yup that what it seems, after a while i saw my leases building up, so i simply stopped buying, by then i had incredible diplomacy anyway, i could 'buy' new tech of other races, and then sell a lesser version to ever other race and a HUGH profit anyway (like buy laser IV for me and sell everyone else
