About the "AI not expanding" complaints... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've seen the posts from a few people complaining about this issue. This is what I found: Gigantic/ loose clusters/ challenging/ 9 races/ terran w/ 30% social production. After about 70 turns I noticed that I had 12 colonies and everyon else had on 1 or 2. Hmmm. This is less action than I've seen on "beginner". So what do I do? Instead of throwing my hands up and writing an angry post I actually restarted the game with the same settings...not ctrl-L...I restarted t

DUDE! love the Shadow ships but why only external attacment points? Battlecrabs look comical with engines and equipment strapped to the outer hull. Even a single point INSIDE the hull wouldv'e been enough because I could build off of that.

EVOLUTION VS CREATION "SCIENCE" (Creation "Science" is now sometimes called Intelligent Design Theory) 1. Who is anti-evolution? a. Creation "science," although even creationists accept much of evolution, = groups of fundamentalist who literally interpret parts of the Bible b. NOT most Christian and Jewish denominations: not United Methodist, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Prebyterian, American Jewish Congress c. NOT the overwhelming majority of scienti

their isnt one shred of evidence anyplace in all of human science where one speicies becomes another species. you cant point to a dog becoming a cat or a horse becoming a shrub. not one time. Wrong use of "their" first of all. A dog is not a cat. However, they share a COMMON ANCESTOR. In fact dogs, cats AND humans, according to EVIDENCE shar

All creationist arguments are based on WHAT?....FABLES handed down from generation to generation by MEN desperate to cling to power. Power over the masses. To say "why doesn't a whale have gills" is simply a copout. I SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE (i know it' doesn't match your agenda) shows that whales where land-MAMMALS who gradually developed the ability to hold their breath underwater for extended periods. They have finger AND toe bones in their flippers - evidence of their former

Let's just make all races with the same skills, just different colors. No resources, no trading just EXACTLY the same EVERYTHING. This seems to be what some people want.

Organized religion is simply a way to control masses. Sorry! It also becomes a crutch and "the easy way out" when it comes to explaining the universe around us. When cornered, slogans like, " I aint a kin to no monkey" are common. Just visit the SE U.S. Not to mention all the major strife in the world is cause by religious conflict. Let's talk Scientology while we're at it. They believe we are all infected with alien souls and the only way to get rid of it is throubgh, you g

Then again, when 90% of the population is Christian (7% atheistic, 3% 'other' ), and when 95% know who Bart Simpson's sister is (Lisa, for those who don't live in the United States or watch The Simpsons ) and 50% believe dinosaurs walked the Earth side by side with humans (I mean no offense to anyone who believes this because of their religion) it is surprising the electio

Why do people alway assume that "good" can't shoot first? What would they have the Alterians and Torians just sit there and wait for an invasion? Sounds boring. Good gets to shoot first TOO!
