Not much of a choice 1) a socilist at best, or a communist at worst 2) a Bush clone The lesser of two evils is still evil. This country is in deep poo the next 4 years no matter who wins.

Reply to HELP - I'm getting raped by pirats and peacekeepers ! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I just had the same thing, only (fortunatley) it was mid game. Personnally 2 of my favorite events, because they can prove to be huge advantage if properly exploited. [quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="2" id="1907084"]One way to take advantage of these two events is to build super-fast transports that can speed in and in one turn take AI planets left undefended because of the Peacekeepers and Pirates. Sentient species taste better... [/quote]

Reply to Fleet Composition in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have never seen the need to produce fleets with varied ships. I just produce the best ship available and fleet them up as they are produced. Naming system (not very cleaver) but works for me: Race (3 letters) - to seperate different racial designs Size - T, S, M, L, H you may want something more clever Weapon system - Laser I, II, III etc to tell me what is on it Attack value So i might have a Yor S Laser I-1&n

Reply to Help for a beginner in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

As you continue on in your galciv career you will notice that for some races their AI will concentrate on researching and building medium to large ships early in the game. A few medium or large ships will quickly skew the military rating in their favor. However they are very underpowered and you just need to zerg them with your ity bity ships till they pop. Also i will concentrate on 1 weapon line during a game. I rarely have a had a need for 2 differe

Reply to How do you pick your fights and fight them? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I sit back and wait. When i do get wardecd, i will fight (if i can) till they are wiped off the map. Another way i collect planets, is to periodically offer to buy planets, you might be surprised as to how often the AI is willing to sell.

I have noticed this, and they will often wait for a long time before starting to research cures.

Reply to Please slam my game in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

-Scout ships need new AI, they need to recon local sectors before running off to lala land. Maybe a spiral pattern based on the planet they were built. They also tend to play follow the leader, where one goes they all go. -When i give ships to another race, they just sit there doing nothing.

Thanks for the help Cari. It didnt work on the first try, only a few of the files actually downloaded. So, i tried it again and the second time it looks good.

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor 1.95 now available in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]According to SDC my game is at version 1.95 but none of the new options i.e. clock, zoom to mouse, etc are available. I checked the version number on the GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe file and it is 1.9.1.0, dated 1st May, 2008. Does this mean the update failed?[/quote] Same here.

Reply to Effects of morale/happiness in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

High moral can equal higher taxes. I have had a few civilizations with near 75% tax rate and nearly 90% approval. Also low moral can open your planets to fundamentalist? take overs (I think).

The "new" ground combat screen is something you might have seen on a C64. A very weak effort.

Reply to Ship auto designer in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks, i scanned over the option a couple times and missed it everytime! :SNIFF!: The main reason i turned the option off, is that i prefer my naming system. Also, is there a reason why the Thalan auto designer is producing both the Defender and Phoenix? Both appear to be producing the same ships (at least through laser 4).
