Reply to Patch 1.4 :) its coming in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

And now that I re-read this original reply to the post, what the hell is in here that invokes so much sarcastic idiocy from some of you? I asked two general questions which were met with more hostility than the allies on D-Day. Nuff said... I have to agree... He had an opinion, which could have been examined without attacking him. I don'

Reply to 70% population growth civilization ability in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe I was wrong to say that there was anything that needed work... It would indeed seem that every pick has its uses... although maybe not as "obviously" strong, it can be used in a way that makes it well worth its points. I am still a very new player so I have to say that this has been a very enjoyable thread to read the responses of Thanks all... I'm looking forward to trying out some new str

Reply to Another vote for nebulae in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I could see a scientifically created nebulae or something, with sufficiently advanced science, being a player-made obstacle. It wouldn't really be a fence per se, but just a region that is blocked off... of course this would have to be cost-prohibitive to avoid being cheese, but at the same time one can't really imagine it being useful as such... so perhaps it can randomly happen like, for instance, a constructor has a 0.001% chance to have some sort of accident that causes a nebulae or somethin

Reply to 70% population growth civilization ability in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well, this thread has certainly been enlightening, and I am glad to see that there are a lot more options than I first had assumed. However, I do still seem to see that while there's many good choices, that does nothing about the choices that you'd be dumb to choose. I hope that Stardock considers a way of making all the options useful, at least to the point that they'd be "good" choices for at least one strategy.

70% population growth civilization ability in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I've been reading a lot of posts lately, and how there has been a shift from a largely varied pool of advice saying to take this or that, to the point that everyone with any experience agrees that 70% population growth is a must-have civ ability. I would ask that Stardock please fix this. This isn't how your game, or any game, should be... we as players should not feel pigeon-holed into a single choice because its an incredible nerf to do anything other than the recognized "best" choice

Reply to Tweak to elections. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

So if you are the federalist and control 50% of the senate, you get just 10% bonus to the economy, if you control 70% you get 15% and so on. While I agree that it could be fun to make the elections and various parties more interesting, perhaps it would be better to make sure that it doesn't become a "must have almost 100% approval or I'm penalize

Reply to Its Easy to Run an Empire When Taxes are the Only Thing That Makes You Unpopular in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

It's not that simple, as such a thing would have to vary from race to race. With the Drengins for example, it could quite possibly be the opposite: your popularity would fall as long as you're NOT at war with someone else! That would be a wicked cool twist... to have several different civilization "preferences" that would help give flavor to the

My guess is he meant he was about to download v1.31 update In any case, I'm getting this a lot too... seems to happen randomly, both during my turn and during AI turn, and its getting to be quite annoying. Happens far too much! Anyone else experiencing this mysterious crash to desktop bug? (For me it only dumps me to desktop, nothing else freezes up..)

Reply to Questions regarding planet specialization/random event bonuses in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Well, the 35% bonus verses PQ bonus was an academic curiousity, I'd definately be pleased as punch to get either. It just occurred to me that I had previously always considered the PQ bonus to be the "definitive" best event, but then wondered if others were better situationally. In any case, thank you for all the answers I've received so far. I love to learn all about this wonderful game!!

Questions regarding planet specialization/random event bonuses in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

First of all, I've a question about planet specialization. I've heard from various places that it no longer works in v1.31. Is this true? If so, could someone explain what changed within the game mechanics to make it so? (I'm assuming the morale changes are a large part of the problem?) Do they make it so that it's prohibitive or impossible to make a few economic planets, thus forcing each planet to have enough population to help support the economy? Is there any "formula" for well roun

Reply to How lucky is that? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I find luck to be an amazing steal at only one point. Precursor starships, events, planet bonuses, anomalies.. seems like everything is affected by this, and in a very noticeable way. Play 10 games without it and 10 games with it, and I think anyone will notice a pretty big difference.

Chavez is a Communist. Communism doesn't work. Chavez is a Socialist. Its different. And whether he is truly a socialist, or another authoritarian dictator using an "extreme left" government as a guise for his regime (aka China & USSR) is yet to be seen. He *has* started many initiatives to help his country's poverty, to prevent starvation, to ra

Reply to I want an aircraft carrier!!!!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe some of you forum veterans could go a little easy on the carrier threads... its a cool idea, and so if you're new to GalCiv2 and you're like "hey that'd be a great addition" and you find these forums, that might be one of your first posts... never noticing that the issue is dead. So maybe a polite response explaining (or even linking to the post) that the devs decided against implementing any sort of carriers would be better served than the kinda rude responses that I've noticed?
