It's understandable that this is a bug, since I doubt that anybody's tried that before

Reply to Game is Buggy in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Wrong. Unused social production gets funnelled into military production, which if you are not building anything costs nothing. Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if he was still messing around on version 1.0... A

Reply to Defending planets with fleets in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I guess it depends. If the AI has got its act together fleetwise, you're better off in orbit. If not, obviously sortie to catch them off guard.

Reply to AI building Starbases all over my "territory" in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes Yes. You know why? Because its allready like this in the game according to most of the UP "laws". Your denying something that allready exists in the game. I recall many a up proposal that charges other civs for having starbases or planets in your "territory". But you're still ignoring the problem of hav

Reply to Terror Stars? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

But one of the disadvantages of the Terror stars is that they are purely destructive. Sure, you win the war, but you end up with nothing to show for it...

Why not make the galactic guide book open up new anomilies that only you can see. Nice idea for the devs... but almost certainly not a mod-job.

Reply to My games not starting in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You're running on v1.0. Update to 1.11 to start with. I don't know if that'll help, but it certainly won't hurt.

Reply to Defending planets with fleets in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Of course, if at all possible the ideal course of action is to intercept the enemy fleet. You should never let it come to defending if you can help it Not with the 1.2beta... with first strike gone, you're better off staying in orbit and making use of the weapon bonus.

It seems that Stardock have hit on a novel new way of decreasing save times... Latest beta I assume?

It isn't easy to just come up with something radically different that looks like it would work in reality...

Reply to Spying on minor race in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I've heard it said that minors cannot be turned by influence. I suppose that makes sense since otherwise they'd be flipping all the time, but it seems a shame that you can only take them via violent means.

Reply to Ranking Data on Diplomacy Screen in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Equal third? If neither of them have built any military vessels yet... Technically of course then they'd both be second of course. Either that or a bug.

Reply to Spying in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The espionage system is one of the areas that is more likely to be changed in an expansion pack rather than a free patch.

That sounds a bit wierd... what version are you running?

Reply to What benefits do alliances give you? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I assume that this also might make opposing AIs less inclined to make war on you... Unfortunately not... Or not that I've noticed anyway. Still, it makes the resulting war a fair bit easier.

Reply to Mind Control Center and other worthless things in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The description should probably be fixed though...

Reply to Ai does not worry about tech victory in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It just counts as a negative factor on your race relations screen, making them more likely to declare war on you.

Reply to Dungeon Keeper 3 and Stardock? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I doubt it. Surely the rights to Dungeon Keeper are owned by a different company?

Reply to Political victory through war! What's up with that? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Basically the point of allied victory is that everybody likes you. They might not like each other, and you may have killed everyone who doesn't like you, but everybody that is left is on friendly terms with you. Therefore, you have 'won' since nobody is ever going to attack you.

Reply to Galciv 2 limited edition Starforce protection in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Er... GalCiv doesn't use Starforce protection. In fact, the two companies have a bit of a historic animosity if I remember correctly...

Reply to Evil, Neutral, or Good? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That's just a silly argument. 2 military resources are a massive bonus in any game. And just think, you'd get double the bonus if you got the military resources AND the good defenses. You could use the same argument against getting the evil weapons, or against the NLCs (obviously with resource mining instead of military mining).

Reply to Game Does Not Even Start. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

By any chance is the game "trying" to go online? I don't think so. I never have any problems running it on a machine that is not connected to the net at all. I'd guess that it only goes online if you use the Metaverse. Did you download v1.11 or v1.2 Beta? I doubt that'll make a difference but you never know.

Reply to COMBAT WITH A CUSTOM RACE? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It can be done by modding the XML files, just don't ask me how. Have a look at the example mod in the 1.2 beta.
