Changing AI settings in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Hi guys. While playing GalCiv I find my self alot of times reaching a point mid game where the AI is not that chalanging any more and wishing that I could rais the Difficulty setting to bring life back to my game, I#m offcourse talking about games that start with lower difficulty settings. Anyway would it be possible to guve us the options to raise the AI midgame? I'm mainly thinking about 2 methodes to this: 1. the player could ch

Reply to Seperate mount attacks in combat in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I think that the mount should be part of the unit i.e raider+mount. It will be really great if we could "costumize" our mounts in game. Lets say that you got a horse herd near one of your cities, so you connect it to the city and so you got acces to your basic horse and can start a breeding program and building stables, in the unit building window you can "make" several kinds of horses, riding, plow, war etc etc etc and breed them in your stables but a WAR horse require diffre

You know, Good generals study strategy, Great ones study logistics [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Anyway, I'm curiuse to know if, for exempel, there is a Gryphon breading ground near one of my cities, would I be able to "mine" them for a set amount of Gryphons per turn? I know that there aren't going to be building like Gryphons Aviaries that we could build in our cities but having the option to discover a "natural" source of magical animal to use in unit building woul

[quote]You dont think there will be a stealth detection arms race? Just because detection is ahead now doesnt mean it always will be. Also there are ways to mask heat they are not very effecient at the moment but they could be.[/quote] There are no ways to mask heat in space. you will have to go below 3 degrees kalvin and doing so will break the laws of thermodynamic.

I'm not saying that I disagree with you OTOH

[quote]For starters that link is awsome please supply more that would make great desktop wallpaper.

I'm currious about that happening as well.[/quote] Short answer, I don't know :D. Long answer is it's depends. Today shields exist only in books and in the minds of de

[quote]Keep in mind, I'm not a physicists or a weapon expert. I can only give my opinions.I think that, ultimately, missiles armed with nuclear, fusion, or anti matter warheads will not be feasible in space combat. A missile is relatively slow and, thus, vulnerable to interception. Even today, we are experimenting with anti missile weapons systems that show great promise. The US Navy recently test fired an honest to God railgun. Once power sources for weapons like rail guns become compact e

Wars are caused by pressure for resources if every group has thier own planets it kind of negates the need to fight over stuff.You're joking, right?
