Reply to Something missing from the game: atmosphere in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

At a guess: -They already have another colonisation ship on the way to the higher PQ planet (yes, it would be more sensible to give it to the first one to get there, but I suspect the AI is on 'fire and forget' mode for colonisers, unless someone else gets there first) -They hadn't seen the higher PQ planet when they launched the first colony ship -They're just being stupid One of the three...

My very own Game Play Example in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I felt like doing something along the lines of the game play examples in the Journals section. So here it is. Medium Galaxy, Common habitable planets and stars with Abundant Planets and anomolies. Tough difficulty, with all the other races. Pretty standard, right? Wrong. Because in this game, I’m not going to build a single colony ship. That’s right, I’m going to be: Playing as a Minor Race (Well, near enough anyway) It is the

Galactic Privateer has been changed I believe, because of this bug. Now, they can attack your frieghters, but the trade route will never be broken.

Oh yes, I forgot that. I can't remember how I did that mission. I don't remember having a particular problem, maybe I just got lucky.

I have three theories. Either: A. No-one likes me (highly possible) B. Nobody knows C. Nobody saw this In the hope that it's C, I'm going to bump this... Even a 'no you can't' would be helpful. Save me the effort of looking for a way.

Reply to Campaign question in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The strategy holds though. You only really have to fight the DLs properly in the Armageddon mission. The other ones I managed to complete before the DLs really made their presence felt. This was only on Challenging difficulty in v1.0X though, I haven't tried it again since I first started playing the game.

- This is in the options menu already 'Tactical view mode' or something like that - I like, and have suggested myself in fact. Espionage is supposed to be one of the things that will be improved in the expansion pack, but I really hope they implement this slightly simpler idea for the timebeing -Not really bothered - Ditto - I haven't seen this - Of course

Reply to Noob Alliance question... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You do not need to give them the alliance tech in order to form an alliance. You have to have a 'Close' relationship (sometimes they'll let you do it with 'warm', I'm not 100% sure how exactly it is determined). What you've experienced up to now, I suspect, is that gifting the Alliance tech has been enough to improve your relationship with the race to the required level.

Reply to How do Green and Purple Stars form? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

They don't exist. It's a computer game. The following items also do not exist, yet appear in game: - All of the Alien races - Shield technology - Hyperdrive/Warp/etc. (OK, they're kind of based on real science, but not really) - Loads more stuff I can't be bothered writing about

Modding starting Technologies in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I'm trying to make a scenario that is effectively 'Play as the Dread Lords'. Basically, the idea is that you, the Terran Alliance start off with a single planet but all the techs. The Drengin start with all the other planets, but no tech. The problem I'm running into is that there seems to be no way to set different starting techs for each race. It seems that either both races have all the techs, or both have neither. Does anyone know a way around this?

Reply to ransoming virus!?!?! in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine that they've set themselves up for a fall there. If they actually recieve money, then surely that means that there must be some sort of trail that would lead to them. Seems like they could get caught pretty quickly...

Reply to Dregin Mass Suicide in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I've said this before- they should move a fleet of warships along with a fleet of transports, always on the same square so that they are effectively the same fleet. The warships take out the defenders, then the transports invade. I understand that proper multi-fleet armadas are incredibly processor intensive and thus impracticle, but surely this sort of coordination isn't too hard? After all, in effect you've actually cut the number of fleets the computer has to worry about in half. T

Reply to I'm stupid? How do I prioritize my planet build types? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I see what you're saying. But it seems to me that it may be hard to implement. First of all, say you want a priority list of upgrades somewhere. The things at the top of the list would always be upgraded first. That would require an enirely new menu, plus the code to actually implement it. An alternative would be to restrict this to the planetary manager always prioritising factories. But this could also cause problems. Shortly after the patch was released, you'd be seeing
