Reply to modding a tech researched from start in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I found that it works only if I put more than 1, less than 10 or equal in tech cost (don't know exactly which number) at that time it becomes a standard tech if researched, bonuses are applied correctly so I guess this is a sort of bug

Reply to Anyone notice the Arceans have poor social skills? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

the truth is : galciv 2 races are somehow alike our current nations even "good" nations will conquer those that are too weak ... history is full of that kind of stories... if you are good & they are good, there is an increased chance that they won't try to crush you but if you have a military that is really too weak, they will find the need to protect your people from you.... that makes sense

Reply to Thinking about buying this game. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

well, given than most strategy games are either : heavely scripted (the computer will behave in one optimized way and that is all) or cheats I think Galciv 2 AI is pretty good & flexible for example it is able to adapt to any mod (with more or less success of course) you can add a building and the AI should use it ..... the game is VERY enjoyable, best strategy game I played since a long long time BUT of course there is bugs here and there, the save/reload b

Ship Design 1.11 => 1.2b.009 lost ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed that all my current ship designs work without problems if I just build them but If I try to upgrade one, all components are thrown together so, does everyone experience this or is it just me ? is there something to do to be able to upgrade them without them losing their appearance ? will 1.11 to 1.2 final have the same problem ? (or perhaps it is too early to ask) I ask this because I would like to know if I should start taking screenshots of my shi

Reply to I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM!!! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Another option if you're feeling really adventurous would be to drive over to Stardock and get a new one - we're located about an hour south of you in Plymouth MI. Probably the only game you've bought that was made in Michigan (other than maybe Descent ). seriously guys ! did you ever saw one company offer that option to someone besides S

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.2 BETA 1 change log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

You forgot one: -The computer is allied with all civs in the game, including you. It would not be difficult to prevent this from happening, but the AI doesn't seem to make any effort to prevent the player from doing it. the one I "forgot" on purpose is the same as 1st case without opponents => changes nothing to the results<br/

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II v1.2 BETA 1 change log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Great change, but does this mean the AI can now also win a diplomatic victory, or are they still disallowed that? well thinking about it, and unless you can allow multiple winners the computer can't really win a diplomatic victory, let's go through all possible cases : -the computer enter an alliance with you & elimanates all th

see this thread which indexes all others about this issue : Link it's not really cheating as the computer gets the same treatment, but effectively you can still cheat (for example if you get & produce transport ships before your opponent you can use this exploit to travel very far ) but it's still disturbing

No news... Someone called echelon said here, that it would be addressed in v1.2... well I don't know about final 1.2 but it's still not fixed in 1.2b1 ...

Reply to FLAME: Why have these biased polls? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

ok so I don't think it is really a question of jewelry OR multiplayer it's rather ( jewelry and multiplayer ) OR (jewelry and single player expansion pack ) OR (no jewelry and multiplayer ) OR ( no jewelry and single player expansion pack ) why is that ? : well jewelry is almost art only, not much programming needs here multiplayer is almost programming needs ... so I don't think each poll is related to the other<br/

Spy Improvement for gigantic maps in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

ok I just had a case where one civilization outrun me at building a galactic achievement/trade good and I had espionage : HIGH with this civilization I think that as I should have been able to see the planet building it manually (by clicking on every planet) spies should report that kind of important information directly to me for example : -we just spotted this race building this trade good and that it is expected to be finished in x weeks or -as we kno

I built the Galactic Guide Book in my current v1.11 game (& no by the time it is available all anomalies are not gone => gigantic map) first it worked perfectly (reduces the cost of the module to 0 (module is shown with price but price isn't reflected on the whole ship price) then I saved later I reloaded and all survey ship jumped to normal price now if I upgrade or redo my designs it will work but if I don't do that I'll pay the full price !!! her

thanks random50 , there was actually two questions, you answered them fine as I did not get to the point where I feel confident enough to even scratch the crippling AI level ... this sheds new light on my future strategies and I thank you for that but still.... 50% research would seem to put a hurt on my production worlds ...

Reply to Planet Production Focus: a balance issue ? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I don't even know if it's really necessary to shift ok I'm not playing at the highest intelligence level but I'm doing fine with at least 3 factories on each world and focus on research for every world that's with gigantic + habitable too + slowest tech rate ok some might say that perhaps the game is too easy with this setup, frankly I don't care but I'm really interested by results for those who say :<TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="
