Suggestions for new issues in Political Machine PolMach Forums

I have been toying with the operator's kit recently, and I have come up with some new issues. I would like everyone's opinions on what values would be realistic. Here is what I have so far. Civil Unions: Dem support Rep oppose, but not as strongly as Gay Marrige Ind have no opinion The Patriot Act: Dem are stongly opposed Rep support Ind have no opinion. Quite a few aAmericans have little or no idea what the patriot act actually does.

I don't think independents favor the Iraq War In game, independends have no stance on the War in Iraq- in other words, an importance value of 0. This may be unrealistic, but in game, independents neither support nor oppose the war in Iraq. <TD class=

Good news! I have finally gotten the range modules to work! I will want to do some playtesting to balance some of the changes I have made, so it might be a while before 1.2 is out. Please, if anyone has suggestions, speak up!

Forum edits. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I would like to know why it is so hard to edit one's posts and replies? At most other forums, I can edit my reply years after it was made. Why is that not the same here? What is the logical reasoning?

It sounds like the Arceans always get to fight the first round, and all ships which survive fire back. Then the battle proceeds as normal.

Reply to The Operatives Kit for the Political Machine in The Political Machine 2004 JoeUser Forums

Hello., Draginol. I have a few questions about the editors. 1) How do I load a different issues file into the game, so I can still use multiplayer? 2) Where to I save new questions so I can still use multiplayer? 3) What is the Chars I keep seeing in the windows. For example, Credibility has Chars: 11, and the Joe User question has Chars: 50. What is it? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Reply to It said on manual...about defence value in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

1. The defence role is actual 0 - (Highest Def.) The Manual is incorrect. 2. Even if it was not incorrect, a ship with zero defence would logically never recieve 1 defence. I do not thing defence is rolled for those ships.

I've never had an ethical choice outside of a colonization, do such things occur? They do, all though for some reason they almost always involve your home planet.

Reply to Questions regarding the Drath in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I think the Drath and the Altarians have made some sort of truce in Dark Avatar, so I guess that means their dispute has been resolved. Also, whenever I play the game as the Drath, I am always nutral. They should be good, from what I am told, but they are not.

No. Toxic and barren are two different types of environments, which is why they have different names.

i personnaly think that they way the abilities were initially decided, that they would make the game extremely unbalanced. the super abilities are well a bit too super for my liking. That is my opinion as well. They are certainly going to rebalance these traits.

Reply to Treaty and United Planets in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

When receiving galactic prison or Olympics can there be a graphic that replaces one of your factories or something on the planet to show this visually. It would be nice to see these as a special galactic achievement or accomplishment. This would be annoying if it took up otherwise usable space. If these things take up otherwise unusable tiles (in

Reply to Please Please Please, allow us to re-name star Systems! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I Agree. The player can name almost everything else- even enemy planets- yet cannot rename stars. Unless I am missing something huge, this should not be hard to add.

But next time, do your own googling. I hate lazy readers. Actually, documenting sources is your responsibility. I cannot count the nember of tiimes my College English proffesor talked about documenting sources and quotes. You, as a writter, must always assume that the reader is lazy, no matter how much you

Reply to So why expand the expansion? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

One part of the game i would like 'tweaked' is a players ability to see what the AI ships have 'bolted' to them. If you click on an AI's starbase you require a high level of espionage to see what it contains, yet you can see all the components of one of their ships from the start. This would further enhance the spying role etc Plus it would boost multi-weapon shi

Reply to Mega Event Frequency in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I actually would like the Mega Events to be a slider, ranging from none to abundant, perhaps including a setting for random, so you start the game not knowing what to expect.

If I read corrrectly, they are not removing anything. There are simply colapsing the weapons techs so that the tech tree looks cleaner.

I found this qoute here, in the Galactic Core: The Galactic Core Originally, this information was on this forum as well, but that journal was deleted for some reason. Perhaps they have changed some of these for balance reasons. I do not know.

Reply to Starbase and United Planets Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

OK. After some more intesive testing, I have decided to make some changes. I also whant some asistance. 1. I will be changing the Righteous Forum to cost money and require another module- the galactic forum. 2. No matter what I do, I cannot get the range feature to work. I will leave it in, however, in case someone else can figure the darn thing out. 3. I may also add some new starbese modules If anyone has any suggestions for fixes, additions, or comments, pl

Reply to Ground forces in DA in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I would like that, too. I also have my own idea on the subject: invations will inevitably kill a certain percentage of the civilian population, but certain tactics cause more casualties than others. Traditional and Information Warfare will have the smallest number of casualties, will others will have very high values, in proportion (or at lease within the same trend) as the advantage recieved. But even without this, the barracks will add a lot to the game.

Here are the super-abilities. Be warned: They may change at any time until the game is out. Terran Alliance: Super-Diplomat. Super-Diplomats have the ability to get other civilizations to go to war with each other and are better at getting other civilizations to stop being at war with them. They also are much better at getting hard bargains and their culture is mu

I do not think the preview said you can degign AI ships. I think it said you can create templates to customize how their ships look.
