Reply to Weak Endgame in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I do believe that there was the Eclipse and Sovereign class Star Destroyers. I understand that they were both insanely massive, and even had superlasers (the weapon the death star used). Though they couldn't destroy a planet, they could scorch the entire surface, making it more or less inhospitable. I can't give you the exact sizes, though I do know they were far bigger than the SSDs.

Reply to REALLY nasty AI! in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

That would be some physcotically malevolent AI. I wouldnt want it to go so far as myspace.... but remembering past strategies would be cool. It would make those strategic nutcases with super-strategies think once or twice... It would also help the computer to learn a little. But it would take some really powerful cpu to spit out those kinds of responses. But if anybody is going to do it, it will probably be you guys. GCII has the best AI among most of my games. <img src="smiles/Congrats.gif" b

Reply to Would people want Mega events? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

mmmm sounds good. i think that things such as what you listed would be good... some other things such as a group of planets in one large region of the galaxy, regardless of the controlnig race, band together, defect from their controllers, and begin to destroy everybody.

Nope. Never. i keep my approval at 100% all the time (i never let my planets get above 5 bil pop most of the time).

Reply to Starcraft Mod? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

well, the zerg probably have units we have never seen, monsters which werent in the game. im sure the protoss have other ships, but from what i remember, the "burning of the worlds" was caused by carriers. that suggests carriers have weapons that have yet to be exposed. the Earth Directerate used the same ships as the dominion........ i find that hard to believe.... in anycase, it would be hard to make this mod.

Reply to Starcraft Mod? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

uuuuumm welll...... hhhm... i... uhh... eeeerr.... uuumm......hm. the issue is that starcraft had 2d modules basically.... it wouldnt work either... there arent any maps on the starcraft world.... and the only ships are limited... can you imagine a zerg starship? and what about carriers?

Reply to stardock give up on planet city lights? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I dont get lights ! well... actually, i get a bit of a silvery effect on certain planets (colonized or not) like ice or something.... this is most evident on class 26s but others have this "ice effect" as well. as for colony lights, i dont see them... as for the intel thing, if your talking about cards, then i should see them because i have an ATI/Radeon thingy (it says both on the box...). if your talk

Reply to Planet Upgrades and new technology in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i just specialize certain planets to certain areas. for instance, my REALLY big planets (class 15-26/30) i usually dedicate to manufacturing, as the big planets can produce ships at insane rates, while i will dedicate smaller worlds to research (though some i make for manufacturing in case of attack and losing all my major production worlds), and the really tiny ones (class 2-9/10) i fill up with economic buildings.... this is very efficient, especially with big maps.

Reply to What weapons do you use? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i like how beam weapons look, but the doom ray is amazingly weak... black hole guns arent too bad, but the black hole eruptor, now that is a weapon! however, im working on a mod that will make all the weapons equal in the end, meaning that the only difference will be the type of animation.

Need new hulls in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, i am making a mod to expand the entire weapons portion of the tech tree... however, my ships would all look like the hulls already in a category. So, how can i get some new hulls for these ships?

Reply to Merging techs Category? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

tech trading isnt very useful unless you get the later tech and the ones before it.... that helps a lot... but researching several techs at once could be helpful, but only if you have A LOT of research dedicated worlds...

Reply to new starbase type??? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

maybe i could make two types: a large one that has a build range (like a ship range, but much smaller) and can make any size ship... another, smaller one that can only build small and tiny hulls, but has MUCH larger range... that wouldnt be as hard..
