[quote]3. How do you deal with Peacekeepers? They just popped out of nowhere for me and are quite handily destroying anything space-worthy. They even crushed a few Iconian ships which are currently the strongest ships in the galaxy. Don’t get me wrong as it’s been a blast forming alliances to crush the mutual threat but if anyone can help with a tactic for taking them down, I’d appreciate it.[/quote] <span style="font-size: x
[quote]NOTE: on Information Warfare, I noticed that when I invade an evil civ and use IW, if I do not win, that evil civ (the Korath in this case) gains some of it's citizens BACK. After the invasion screen, say there is 2.8 billion left, and I took .5 billion, the planet afterwards has been showing 3.3 billion. I have either just never noticed this before, or never paid attn, but it happens in my current game..... Anyone else ever notice this???[/quote]</sp

I don't really care to know. I've played lots of games, watched TV, and watched many movies. Much of the selection that are space based seem have Earth as some place important merely because its... well... Earth. Having Earth be saved... again, or be some place important for the n-th time will not do it for me. I'll be quite happy if the devs said that humanity has simply forgot where their pla
[quote]So is there a relatively simple relationship between how much production costs in BCs versus its production output?[/quote] I was going to say no, but after some thought, I'll say yes. The reason being is many factories and research labs progress in such a way that they become cost ineffecient. They may trick you by becoming cost efficient for a while before becoming inefficient very quickly.</spa
[quote]2) The production sliders and how it interacts with factories still has me a bit confused, so is the following correct. [/quote] Don't be too worried about if the slider system doesn't make much sense. The devs tried to replace it with something else (something involving population I think), but what they tried proved to be too complex to be any fun in their eyes. <span style="font-size:

[quote]What type of events would you all like to see?[/quote] I don't want to see is what we had in GalCiv2, namely the random ethical events. Those events unfairly punished "good" decisions, while rewarding the decisions that were evil, or neutral in nature. In theory, the penalties created by picking the "good" choice could be great enough to cripple an empire, possible worse than the disease mega-event doe
Both colonization techs give you the ability to use 50% of the planet's planetary production. If you get both, the effects stack giving you 100% planetary production. In effect, they complete each other. The only real difference between the two levels of colonization techs is: the advanced version can be researched after the basic version, and the advanced version costs more to research.

From my experience (for patch ver 2.02), any civ that gets these planet improvements get the wrong icons and images. To be more specific, they use icons and images already belonging to another planet improvement. The list that I know of is shown below. Research Center -> Interstellar Refinery (Iconian) Research Acadamy -> Dark Energy Research L
I haven't played the game for a long time, so I don't know how accurate my comments about specific details about the game will be.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm really tired of how companies like EA argue "We include DRM to protect our products from pirates", but then people go around pirating those games saying "We pirate these games because this company tries to include DRM, and we don't like DRM, so we spite them by playing the cracked versions". Grow a backbone people! For me, I perfer not to acknowledge any gam

I may not be fond of submitting metaverse games, or creating a 1001 posts, but I do offer advice when I can, and I put the effort to make it detailed. I even went so far as to write a big guide to help players to make the change to TA from any previous version of the game.

*Sigh* When I first decided to work on another update for this guide over the christmas holidays, I thought I would have more time to work on it.

Just checking. Are the events in Elemental and GalCiv 2 somehow linked? Also, isn't "Kona" the name of the Drengin leader? Does a Dreadlord share a name with a Drengin? Is there some piece of information you haven't told us yet?
Changes occured because there were players who would make troop transports with speeds over 40. Those players in turn would completely destroy an empire by invading all of their victim's planets in a single turn. Back then when an empire was defeated, all owned ships would disappear instead of joining another empire or turning to a life of piracy. As such, it was an easy way to win since any enemy ship you could avoid a fight with (namely
I recently completed a game as the Thalans (with military production build) on a large map with 3 other civs. I feel like I almost forgot how useful a production build is. Inaddition to the production build, there were a number of techs between what you start out with, and "Space Mining I" that gave a number of useful bonuses (some being military production, and social production). Anyways, I tried to pl

It looks somewhat different than what I've read thus far for the Galciv universe, with some new information. Is the mighty Dragonal somehow going to influence the events in this game too?
-About Thalans and space mining I looked at your suggestion, looked at the Thalan tech tree, and played with a few numbers. It costs 1100 research points (might vary depending on research speed setting) to get the "Space Mining" tech so you may upgrade your asteriod mines to the second level. This second level will increase the production output, but would require extra space miners and/or more micromangement
