"best" way to go- 'normal' planet: 1 farm; no morale buildings; pop maxes at 13 Billion 'capital' world: NO farms; maybe one morale building; pop maxes at 16 Billion 'farm' world: must be at least Class 11 (for inherent 10% morale boost); 1 farm on 100% food tile; morale building on morale tile, or 2 Virtual Reality Centers; Pop maxes out at 20 Billion
way to go iztok!
If you end up having a Minor Race nearby...trade them for all their worth; and then invade. You can't beat a Class 15 on a Rare Habitable setup The Yor already have a strong soldiering bonus; so just research up through Marines to get the Training Center and you should be able to walk over most enemies. Your homeworld has the most population early on; and prolly throughout most of the game; grab the Trade Tech and built the Econ capital on yer HW Grab the MCC and doubl
@JustinSane4: Tech. I'm inclined to agree with you; but with only 18 players we are going to face some major shortages on teams; but thankfully that brings to my next point... @defcon13: i like this; deserves attn. I may open up it a little; make it "special"... MVL Bonus Round; make it so you have to play as the Arceans, maybe set it up more like a Tourney. I unno, I'll mess it with a lil. I like it though.
As it stands I have commitment only from 18 players for the next round; I have 4 maybes; 4 that want to sit out; and 4 most likely no-shows/drop outs. That means 2/5 (40%) of the entire current MVL base either wants a break or is already gone; a really high percentage if you ask me. So...on that. I make the following proposal: Draft proceeds as planned when the Round completes. Once that is over, we take a short break; maybe three weeks? up to a full month; b
you should give it a try; its a great game. I already ensnared DethAdder haha Thankfully, most of those "happy go-lucky clubs" have already fallen; or are on their way to falling. Meanwhile, my empire keeps continuing its climb. Albeit not at the pace that a certain empire of felines is progressing, but a climb nonetheless.
lol, yeah, thats why i like the battle system in GCII; if i actually had to aim my guns; id be splattered against the metal frame of my spaceship. Give me tactical or strategic planning any day. my first FPS was Wolfenstein 3D and my last was Doom; I was just wasn't cut out for them.
@KP: it is isn't it? But I never was very good at the Melee fighting, i tried to avoid fights whenever I could. @Justin: Thanks for the vote. @Everflyer: SC2 rocks; I still had my notes floating around from way back in the day of the "good" planets, so I rarely wasted my time just putzing around on worlds. And Captain Fwiffo is my all-time favorite Sci-Fi game series character.
Well before I lose this battle to JustinSane4 (whom is also a Diplomat and an Olympian) I hereby present to the Olympian Gods the proposal of changing the Imperial Formal Name of the Olympian God Empire to the New Alliance of Free Stars. No character names need to be changed of course, that's just silly. Star Control does have a good, almost cult-like, following and its science fiction; maybe it would work to our benefit in gathering more members. Votin
ya know...I wish I had thought of it at the time I created the Olympian Gods, but I wish I gone with the "New Alliance of Free Stars". And for any of you that don't know what's the from: SHAME ON YOU! Anyone that plays enough GCII should know the multitude of influences that have appeared in this game from the Star Control series. I will admit to never having played the third one (though from what I've heard/seen I don't really feel like I missed out). I do have the port "Ur-Quan Masters" floa
A reminder to everyone that we are getting down to the final days of Season Two. DSep: have you been able to contact anyone with Team B to be able to start a game/know what's going on? KzintiPatriarch: How's your situation with your team. Saw your reminder/call out for Rex, thanks for that. Season Three Draft: Based on the earlier discussion in this round...Each team gets two draft picks; the rest will be randomly assigned. I am leaning toward randomly choosing the o
So...and I never thought this would happen, but it appears that I will have to run as the [I]conservative[/I] candidate in this Galactic Senate, if just to counter all the Pure Evilness of its members. As the Emperor of the Olympian Gods and the Commissioner of the MVL, I think I'm pretty darn qualified (heck, that already gives more qualifications than some of the people a certain President put into positions of power). As such, my first vote is: Yea-Bratwurst is awesome, cheese or no

The simple fact that Frogboy himself responded to this thread, is just so damn amusing and funny to me. And it made me think of the "Good Robot" news screen popping up and making the Player feel bad for even thinking of putting a tech capital on a research bonus tile. The audacity of it all.
as compared to a not-grown alcoholic?
[I]Actually[/I] there is no such thing as true anarchy-that is being one of three definitions: "Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder." "A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)." "Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere." <br/
yeah, I'm trying, but I am only getting like paragraphs done at a time cuz its "dead week" (the week prior to exams, so lots of studying); my finals are on May 2nd and 3rd
Dsep, your captain, MarshallONeil has been busy lately. I suggest PMing Ghostwes and Wyndstar (your teammates) to see where your team is at, and what they need to complete so far. Best of luck mate -Silver-
just let Neilo or Motti know and they'll grant you access
good job KP, you'll get there yet. I'm still slugging along on the opposite end of the spectrum (Giga All); still have work to do.

Actually, the "easiest" fix would just be to change the wording. Any other move would have to result in coding changes, which could prove to be rather difficult and tedious, depending on what the actual problem is. As to making evil races too powerful... Actually a larger problem to me is the rarity that the AI researches Ethics at all, and even if they manage that, the rarity that they build any of the Ethics Wonders (except NLCs, go figure). The chances that an Evil AI would
We hope that you enjoyed your time in the #5 position on the AltMeta but regret to inform you that due to changing dynamics, we have to regulate you to the #6 position.

We actually took 4th on the AltMeta, passing the Yuuzhan Vong and the High Command Hegemony. Congrats to my fellow Olympians :CONGRAT: [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/173346"][img]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c358/silverbeacher/OGTitle.jpg[/img][/link]
Neilo has managed to get the #1 spot in the Universal, Solar, All Time, and Most Games categories, bringing the Tyranny of Evil to #2 overall (at a little more than half of the A/M points the Kzinti have accrued.) As for me, I'm working to get Zeus back on the board with his reset. The Olympian Gods are the #6 A/M empire, though should be in 5th place either later today or tomorrow when the A/M updates.

well I know Marshall has had some RL issues; I would guess the same for Wyndstar.
Our climb to ascendancy is continuing as we now reach the #12 position in the Metaverse Rankings. Not too bad for an empire of 10 players, only a few of which are actually active. Meanwhile, I only need another 1,296,917 pts to overtake Mumblefratz for the #1 spot :p
