Biggest problem with this ship is it dosen't gain experince so you always have a 1 attack , 1 hp light weight Why dose this not gain XP? is it because its a cargo hull?

Reply to Technological Capital in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I think the the tech Capital is mulitpling before something else adds, so you lose some production. It might also have something to do with the research sliders.

The Umbreal Sentience: Ever since they first could reach for the stars, every sentient race has sent out probes to scan the galaxy. For what they were looking for varies upon the race, life, knowlege, slaves. Because of the vast distance between stars, the probes cannot be directed from their home world. So they have protocols that dictate their actions, and over time these protcols grew more complex. One race (the Torians as it happened) s

2)I also tend to "Obsolete" the "Traider" and "Colony" ships as soon as I dont need them anymore, It seems that If I do need a Freighter to deal with replaceing a lost trade rout I'm better off going with a new hull anyway to take advantage of speed or range improvments I obsolete those ships at game

Reply to A strategy the AI fails to cope with well (warning: long, rambling) in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Pretty much, every time I've made it to mid-game I've been "winning". Out of curiousity, what difficulty are you playing at? I almost never end up making military starbases (i tend towards econ or incluence). Also, how long (years) does it end up taking for a victory (tech or otherwise)? I just did a

Seriously, if you were any good at writing (as the odds go) someone would already be paying you to do it. Or they simply haven't found out about you yet...

Reply to How do you handle the Tech Tree in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Research a weapon tech very quick, and get ship in orbit. I like missiles. Then go the way you want. If you use a custom, try to get space militerization in your start techs.

Reply to Starting Positions flawed? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have had a few frustrating starts, where I play for 20 minutes or so before realizing I'm totally hemmed in on all sides with 3 planets and nowhere to expand to. Continuing with that is a coin toss. That CTRL+N thing sounds handy. This happens to in almost all my games. But I also play an 11 race g

Reply to Need Campaign help... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'd prefer to play through the campaign before playing sandbox games, I figured this would be easier, but I'm having a hard time of it. Have you considered that you may have figured wrong? In sandbox, i find that at low difficultys, the AI leave's you alone and war among themselves till you join the fray. This would differ at higher difficulty

Reply to The Snathi should be a major race... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Not that the other aliens in GC2 are bad, exactly, but they do tend to be somewhat well, bland. Do you have suggections for making them less bland, cuz that is rarely a bad thing. As for new races, it's not that simple, as EVERY race has a seperate AI routine. Making a new one is not easy.

Reply to Mercenary Units in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

Where would one hire the mercenaries? I suggest that they have their own bases in deep Space, and you contact them from there. Or better yet, they're pirates that you can to (not) attack a race. Don't know how hard that would be to code.

Reply to Can you build multiple buildings on a tile? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Which brings me to one of my few gripes with the game: Once you've built a tech, political, manufacturing, or economic capital, you're stuck with it for the entire game. If a better candidate pops up later in the game, sometimes I would like to be able to demolish one of these and build another elsewhere. Are you allowed to demolish a capital?

Reply to GC Noob needs a little advice in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Skew the game to your favor at the start. Set all the other Races to "Fool" lvl Inteligence. you probably knew that. Set some to be ally's at the game start. one or two should be enough. If you really need help, set your auto-allys to a higher intellegence lvl. you might also reduse the total numer of races.

Reply to Errr, Alliances? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Evil empires should be able to ally as well otherwise it's one sided. They are able to ally, they just tend to backstab each other.
