Good information about the universalists... I'll have to try that out... Or at any rate start burning a point on luck ability. Government generally depends on the strategy you're adopting. I used to make a super-producing Thalan race with massive military and social production (industrialist) and then I realised that all I was doing was providing a huge pile of industrial capacity with insufficient funds to actually drive it. Late-mid-game, I was still running industry at 60-80% capaci

I enjoyed you link, Spax. Very cute. Terrifying. China was never in the sphere of influence of the soviet union. Mao and Stalin had very little in common idealogically, and this set the stage for culture wars between the two powers. Pudinghead

Reply to Racial/government bonuses question... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Woah! I dunno how to do your kool html ninja stuff so I quote from iztok... "AFAIK the only one bonus you receive currently (game 1.1) from governments are economic bonuses.

Racial/government bonuses question... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I switch from Democracy to federation (if that's the one after it, I don't really remmeber), and my industry/research/military bonus goes from 50 to 75. But when I look at the number of hammers and sheilds being produced by my colonies, there is no difference. A colony producing 288 research still produces 288. What's up with this?

What's up with Ship Hitpoints? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Okay. I build a dreadnaught. It advertises at 100HP. Later in the game, I see a bunch of my ships running around with 70HP. Or 115. WHat is the deal? I would expect to build a ship and have it have the same Maxhp for it's life. also, I'm not seeing the "hardned hull" techs take effect. Are there smoe circumstances for these techs I'm not understanding? thanks in advance...

AI Cheating? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Just got rocked in a game on tough, Large universe 7 oponents. I've got the best military in the game with plenty of heavy fighters and military base support. So I'm chewing away at the yellow guy, and all of the sudden, these 2x 26x18 MassDriver Frigats show up out of nowhere... Class "Ranger"... anyway, nobody in the entire universe is going MassDriver. Nobody. Yellow couldn't have gotten them from somewhere else, because nobody in the entire universe had the tech. anyway, I shifte
