Reply to Stategy, helpful hints for Normal difficulty? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Somewhere around here you will see an explanation for an all factory strategy. This is the strategy I currently use in my suicidal games. I will not be going back. I know Magnumaniac has also been using it in his recent games as well. Wyndstar also has an AAR with an all research building strategy that is worth the read. Basically, with the all factory strategy, you never build or research any of the research techs or buildings. Instead you build extra factories and do all of your

Reply to No notification on new ship builds and lost autopilots in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have been also giving thought to regional rally points to help deal with this issue. If I can fleet up the ships from one area together before sending them across the map, then I will need to have fewer individual autopilot commands in affect at any one time...And reducing the number of ships/fleets under autopilot control seems to minimize the chances of seeing this bug and reduces the number of things you have to deal with by hand when it goes south. Still, if you or anyone else ou

Reply to gigantic map burnout!! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

What Mumble says! All of it! Especially the saving two copies of the game every time you save. I have had single turns take close to five hours on a gig abundant all. That's true with both DA and DL. I have actually played most of the night after work before and never hit the turn button. If I hadn't learned a few management tricks on DL, I could easily see a DA turn taking 8+ hours.

Reply to Advice on Suicidal Gigantic Map in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Not completely impossible, but very, very difficult. You are going to need to take some planets from an AI in order to get tech and expand your manufacturing base. On suicidal, the longer you wait the harder it will get. Your best bet is going to be to get two AI's to go to war with each other and then stab one of them in the back. The Altarians and Drath are both bad choices because of their super abilities. You would likely end up at war with more than one AI. That leaves the I

Reply to Are you playin' good or evil? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

1) Why both! 2) I would change my mind. Bonuses out rate evil laughter....Just barely! 3) Good needs a nice big game booster and at least one small one. Preferably some boost that can't be created any other way. Neutral has one in the instant terraforming and another half in the base morale boost. Evil has two and a half IMHO, MCC and Artificial Slaves. No Mercy Invasion counts as a half. Good has nothing. (I don't view either the extra defense or extra weapons as long

My current DA is with evil Torians on a maxed out map. Very effective, the population growth super ability nicely compliments the evil bonuses.....And I just love the thought of evil, warlike Torians.

Reply to Having trouble with ship movement in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

And one other thing Mumble pointed out a while ago. You can move rally points and all the ships will have their destination moved with it. This is really useful with a shifting front. You do this by clicking on an already established rally point, a move button becomes available in the bottom left corner.

Rally points. Towards the bottom left of the screen you will find a little half circle arrow thingy. When you click on it and then click on the screen, you can drop a rally point. Then when you have a ship selected, hit the "t" key. This will pop up a list of rally points and you can send the ship to it.

Reply to DA Memory Leak on Gigantic Map in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The problem here is that Stardock wont accept that they have buggy code causing this and like Ive said earlier this problem has been round since the first GC2, all they do is say only a small % of people are having these problems, and then go on adding bells and whistles instead of fixing the bugs. At no point has anyone denied that there is an issue. Cari has been working on this (among other things), but

Reply to Mind Control Center prevents planets from defecting to your civ? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I was playing with this a bit in my current game. I got to the point prior to building the MCC that I could expect an average of one planet to flip every turn. I had a nice solid forty planets with flags, probably more. After building the MCC, I received no additional flips. In fact, in all my games, I have only ever had one planet flip post building the MCC. If you want to go evil, and want to flip planets. You can, just hold off on the MCC. Even with just the Artificial Slave Ce

I can. Think small map, two races, alliances, diplomacy and preset relationships... Actually in DA, it might be possible to do it in less. Two races and spore ships...

Reply to Evil the best? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

How about this for a good benefit - The Defense Equalizer (build project): The military types have developed a new form defense structure. All defense now counts as on type defense. Still not enough, but it would offer some serious help in keeping with the good alignment.
