the influence starbase is too far away from their own territory to be of any use (several sectors) If there is no chance of your planets flipping, then just ignore them. If they later become a threat, either destroy them or deploy some influence starbases of your own. You don't HAVE to ge
1 Check the financial screen if you want this... personally I'd prefer it if the basic HUD wasn't cluttered up. If you look at the little symbol next to your current cash, its colour represents whether you're making/loosing money. 2. Er... Doesn't it already do this? 3. Already there, kinda. Just find one of the ships of the type to upgrade, and when you upgrade it, check the 'upgrade all of class' checkbox. 4. Would be
I believe that all starbases also produce a small influence effect, but nothing very impressive.
My Documents/My Games/GalCiv2/ Delete all the files titled CustomRace#.raceconfig With # being 0,1,2,3 etc. That will reset all the races to default. An ingame way is, I believe, in the 1.1 patch, but if I were you I'd stick with 1.0X for now as 1.1 is still in Beta.
He's talking about the resource starbases, not the plain old Influence starbases. Maybe they are a sort of precious stone- your citizens wear them, and all the other Civs look on them with respect and awe... 'I wish I was a Terran... look at all the pretty jewelry they get.' Somehow that doesn't quite seem to work for the Drengin though.
I'd say that they technically win with an Allied victory as well- you ALL win if that happens.
I find it amusing that they complain about the Gal Civ II interface when, for me, their website is completely chopped off about half way across the screen, making it completely impossible to access some of the content Still, there ARE flaws in the Gal Civ interface. I love the game, but there are just so many little niggles here and there that have my tearing my hair out. - Ship production: When you change the build order, clickin

A) Race differentiation- I'm all for a bit more variation in races, such as different planets being different quality for different races. B) I'm all for more 'terrain' in space. It should still be reasonably open, but the odd Nebula dotted around would be nice. They could have effects like damaging ships inside, boosting the power of certain weapons, reducing sensor range or whatever. Also, purely cosmetically, I'd prefer resources to be represented by Nebulae rather than

I think it would be nice if all jewelry was removed if there is a design being used from a different original hull type. Because at the moment they always just look absolutely ridiculous.
Personally I often build over influence tiles. Not so sure about the morale bonus though- personally I'd have used that and turned that planet into a money machine, especially if I was going to put an Econ capital there. Perhaps the Drengin already had plenty of cash flying around, so they didn't need another money world? That's by no means the wierdest I've seen though. I've seen a factory on a research square and a research building on a m
Learning AI is one one of those things that is easy to say, but much, much harder to do. As far as getting a challenging opponent goes, I reckon that the current method that Stardock uses is much better- updating the AI in patches. In a way, that is a kind of learning AI, since it is always being tweaked to counter common strategies.
I have checked, and they do not have a re-education center -- at least that I can see with my advanced knowledge of their empire. Obviously not...
If you really want this, just increase the scaling of engines with hull size. I'm afraid I don't know how to do this, but I'm pretty sure it can be done by editing something somewhere...
Does this actually work? I'd imagine that the massive cost of upgrading vs. the tiny gain from dismantling would still leave you miles in the red after all that?
I think that you need to be 'close' rather than just 'friendly' before you can become allies.
I never use them either, but presumably the idea is that you build them on your border worlds BEFORE the war starts?
It would remove one of the few weaknesses of the Dread Lords though...
Ouch... I did that with the Drengin when I was first playing the demo. I was beating them down, but then I got the two sides of the diplomacy screen mixed up- I thought I was asking THEM to surrender before my military might...
When I transfer my Galaxy-Conquest skills from Gal Civ to the real world, the first thing I'm going to change is this forum code.
As the title says... What was the dumbest mistake you ever made when playing Gal Civ? This happened to me today. I was playing as the Drengin, and had just designed my 'Kona Class Mk2' ship. Except I mispelt the name. So I thought 'no problem, I haven't built any yet, I'll just upgrade the design'. So I did so, switched all my production to the new design, and went on my way. A few turns later, and my grand armada is assembling on
Before reading further... don't get your hopes up. I'm afraid that I don't think any of that's been changed for 1.0X. I'm not sure about version 1.1, which is out soon. 1. Yes it would. 2. Again- Yes, that would be nice. On the positive side, once you've played the game a bit more, you start to get a feeling for what exactly the benifits are of each tech, so this becomes less important. As for the ship compon
It really was a piss poor decision to nerf keeping techs from one mission to another. I presume it was a question of balance. It would disadvantage people who finished a mission quickly, because they'd be stuck with lower level techs. If somebody just spent ages on the first mission and teched up to t
But then you end up with ridiculous time frames for things like the UP- what sort of organisation meets every 50 years? And that's before we get on to the elections... Plus, since the game would then take centuries to actually finish, how do you explain the lifespan of the species' leader? The problem is that without massively redesigning the game, there is always going to be something that doesn't fit with the timescale.
So play on intelligent
It happened again I've uninstalled Stardock Central, crossing my fingers (again) that it'll be fine now. While everyone seems happy to jump on the 'it's your antivirus' bandwagon, the fact is that all this started with Gal Civ, and I've had no problems before now. I'm not going to switch at least until my current coverage runs out.
