@Jonann: I definitely think there was a change in the formula; as before with the Krynn with an 80% morale bonus, I could set my taxes to 59% (or even higher) and maintain 100% morale, now it drops once I get into the 50s; but as for actual maintenance costs and true income levels- i haven't seen anything there as of yet. my only "gripe" so far, is the planetary gov'r; i just haven't been able to use it effectively as of yet and that is kinda sucking.

You can find in stores GCII: Gold which has GC: Dread Lords and Dark Avatar; and I believe that once 2.0 is released they will be releasing GCII: Endless Universe (DL+DA+TA) that will include the most up-to-date versions at the time of release . However, you need an Internet connection to register your serial in order to allow you to download future updates through Stardock's Impulse Utility. There is a work-around (it still requires internet access, but say like a

Reply to 5 Noob TA Questions in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

1.) yup, what LedZeg said 2.) Focus diverts (in DA I believe its 1/3, in TA 1/4) to the selected field. That is, at 100% production, on 100% social production, a world producing 100 hammers, with focus on Research would be 0 Mil, 75 Social Production, 25 Research; even though it doesn't have a single lab. 3.) You can gain passive speed boosts (+1 to speed) once you research certain technologies (Impulse, Warp, Hyperwarp, etc). A ship,

Reply to Updated Manual! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

there is a 1.99c Beta out currently on Impulse. It includes: the updated manual, all the campaigns, the new espionage engine, and map settings for extreme worlds and random events. There was one item in particular I found interesting in the manual- the Courage ability description. Before it has always been listed as an under-the-hood advantage given to soldiers in a close land battle. The new TA manual lists it as a weapons bonus given to a ship in bat

Reply to GCII - Espionage in a more Customizable Galaxy in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

My early indications suggest one level up from Rare (which is 10% of the galaxy extreme), since most DA/TA games run at about 25-33% Extreme Worlds in my experience. The highest level will give you about 75% extreme planets. Events 'normally' would are fairly low; so Common or Frequent will notice a definite increase in the amount of random events happening in the galaxy.

Reply to 'LUCK' Ability in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

in DL: Luck gives you better anomaly findings; it used to up your chances of finding a Ranger early too, but I believe that they changed it so that a few game years had to pass first. in DA/TA: Luck at the least creates a minimum roll value on Attack like DethAdder said earler. I believe it also improves your anomaly finds

the Kzinti don't have 'alliances' as such; just prey that they leave to eat on another day. Take it as you will, but if they don't eat youtoday, well that at least gives you a chance to find a nice corner to cower in, hoping that you can escape the Kzinti's hunting skills

Reply to Terrible game breaking bug that won't go away. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Rem, I'm guessing you must be playing the 'normal' mode (vs Metaverse). Next time you start a game, when it gets to the Opponents Selection screen double check to make sure that Relations are set to "Unknown" and not either "Team" or "Ally". In Metaverse games, it is impossible to have relations set that high, but in normal games its possible. That should work for ya :-)

Those that have visited the Tyrannyofevil.com may have already seen this but here anyhow for your viewing pleasure... So the last few days I've been working on a custom race just for a fun 'normal' game now and then. Using the Iconians as a base, I've created the Edhilhin {(Eh-Thil-hEen)Elvish for 'Children of the Stars'}. <img src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c358/silverbeacher/Edhilhin.png" alt="The Edhilhin Starting Statistics" widt

1.) It is a percentage increase to the appropriate ability. Econ, Influence will affect your entire empire. 2.) Ship defenses are between attack cycles; so let's say...single Torian Cruiser with Defense of 100 meets Drengin Fleet of 7 ships. Each ship will have its attack, depleting the Torian defenses, at which point the attack turn will end and the Cruiser will have "full" defenses again. HP regenerates between turns. 5.)

thats kinda cool Seth; I'd be willing to coordinate with you in setting up the mod if thats ok. i do have some suggestions for you though 1) Get a member of the empire to help craft an actual "identity/personality" for you; wihle I don't discount your abilities, someone with 'insider' knowledge will be better able to help create a more 'real' feeling to an empire. For example, KzintiPatriarch could lay out a pretty thorough 'theme' for the kzinti; just like
