Reply to Feature request: No tech stealing in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Just something for you to think about! With Dark Avatar spying is going to be greatly vamped up. Not only will you be able to better train spies to do specific tasks but you will also be able to use spies to prevent others from stealing said techs. This really adds an interesting aspect to the game. So even if some modders(such as myself) are making mods with races that have individual specific techs. If you use the spy system aspect of the game correctly you could in reali

Great Update Cari, As I'm working on a total conversion mod with individual races with individual techs, the more customisation, I say the better. I really like the sound of the individual voices etc. Thanks for all the great work and for continually aswering all our questions. Everything you've done has been a great help. Really looking forward to Dark Avatar. Thanks to

Reply to Offering to buy out a race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You are right! I don't see why the race their surrendering to should not get their starbases remaining techs etc. So the question is. Is their surrendering to you arbitrary or random or is their something coded into the game that makes a race surrender to another race. And if their is, can we know about it; (i.e. exactly what it is) so we can increase our chances of having a race surrender to us.

Reply to Offering to buy out a race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Fair enough. But woudn't it be cool if this bidding for an almost defunct race could be added to the game. I have no idea how hard it would be to script or add but it would make an interesting aspect to the game. Maybe a new option for Avatar?

Offering to buy out a race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This might have been mentioned before. However! You know the screen that comes up when a race is just about to be beaten, and they say something like, "We're beaten the universe doesb't want our type of civilisation. We've given our worlds to the Drengin because they have given us the best offer". I would like to know what the other races have offered, and be able to make my own offer. Just maybe I could aquire some planets and starbases etc if I can offer more than what they others

Reply to How to make race specific techs? Can it be done? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Master U, Everyone thought it was impossible, but I sent an email to Carielf and she told me how it could be done. It wasn't in her modding guide, so you won't find it there. But if you try adding the techs and the race config as I described, It does work. Each "impossible" tech is the starting tech and each race specific "impossible" tech has to be placed in the specific race you want it to be in. Then just add your techs to the tech tree as per normal. Once you have done

Reply to How to make race specific techs? Can it be done? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

TDH, To create race specific techs, you should be able to do it by creating techs with the tech requirement "Impossible" Tech and then adding the techs to the initial techs in the raceconfig file. Then make your branches from there. Give the AI value a really high value so that the AI won't trade it. The only way the other races will be able to access these techs will be from stealing them or if you can convince them to trade. Example: <Impossible ID="Trill Research

I agree with Govenor mayito8888 This is really very good and could easily be made into a great movie. Yes! I really want to read more. With a really good story line you could make the whole of GCII into an epic movie. Keep it comming! Ps. If you need a good director let me know. Lol.

Thanks for the info! Thanks for trying! I'll reiterate what others have said, go home, enjoy your families and we'll get 1.3 when it's ready. It just makes it all the more sweater when it arrives.

Reply to An Idea for future combat system in the next version of the game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I like your ideas, and I think I know where your comming from. I think of Ascendancy! You could build ships with special weapons i.e. Tractor beams to drag ships within range of your devestaing weapons or techs to bounce the other ships across the galaxcy. I know the ai was useless, bit that part of the game was quite exciting, working out just what to put into the ships to defeat specific races. Good idea.

Reply to Ideas for Galciv 1.2 in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I'd like to be able to offer a bid for those races about to be completely taken over. You know! The ones that say they have been beaten and that they are going to give all their rescources and planets to some other race because they made the best offer. Whay can't we see what other races have offered and make a bid of our own if we can afford it. This would make a cool addition to the game. That's if it's possible, I don't know much about modding. Noobie thought!

Offers on races about to lose? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I could be wrong about this. I've been wrong before! However, I've noticed that when a race is about to lose completely a screen comes up and they let the player know that (for example) "The drengin have made the best offer and we are going to give all our resources and planets to them". In a nut shell. I was wondering if we (the player) get an opportunity to see what the other races have offered and make a bid ourselves. If we don't, can this type of action be incorporated into the next 1

Permanent Worm Holes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just was thinking how much I enjoy the worm holes that take you to another area of the map. And then I thought, what if a ramdom number of those worm holes were permanent. This would add another strategic dimention to the game. You would not only utiles it to your advatage but you would have to defend it against those other races who would want to use it for there nefarius purposes... If these were introduced you would have to alter the game so
