Reply to What race to you find yourself hating? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I dont know why but in all my games Torians seems to beat everyone else ... first they flood the space with colony ships, tho every race do it torians are crazy with the colony rush, then they always have the most influence and later the best military. I play on "crippling" level and without the torians i feel it would be just too easy but on masochistic the

Yeah orbital borbadment would be cool but it cant be over powered like most of the peaple say " i want ot destroy planets blaaah ;" my opinion Make 3 types of borbadment with 3 types of weapons 1- mass drivers - randomly demage several imrpovements and population. You would attack and it would do the demage to 9 adjent tiles and could be upgraded with all the new singularity driver etc etc ( for more splash demage_ 2 - missiles - anti

Easy changes that will make the AI better in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

From what ive read the thing thats abused the most is the "attack-> peace treaty + goodies > attack ..." cheese so the easiest way to stop this is making a peace tready last minimum 10 or 15 rounds... I played over 15 games and still the AI didnt reasearch Xeno Ethics, i mean arent drengin supposed to be mean ? torians good ? ethical alignment gaives a big bonus plus it when a played reaserches it it doest even make sense o paick anything besiede

Reply to I don't get it in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums
