It is a theoretical design based on Tau'ri past ship classes to fit the spaces in GalCiv of the various hull sizes since in SG there are very few ship classes shown for any race.

[quote] While I see the reason behind this secutiry measure, I also know that Stardock has said that they weren't doing anything to prevent piracy. [/quote] In truth, it is because Stardock DOES care about preventing piracy that they decided to take a non-traditional approach to combating it. While the path they took has its detractors, it should not be construed as the company not caring. There are much more draconian ways of dealing with

And the conclusion.... Chapter VIII: The Shadow Departs “It is time to awake.” I slowly opened my eyes to reveal a vast room bathed in bright light surrounding me. The room seemed to stretch into eternity in all directions. I had distinctly heard a voice and yet saw no person or being anywhere. Besides my strange surroundings, I seemed to remember being fatally stabbed only moments before. “Hello?” “Peace, Eratan. Welcome to my home.” Fro

are you rush buying? at the beginning of the game you just don't have the resources to do that outside of a few times. also, some of the "top-choice" abilities at the beginning of the game are Economics and Morale; the economics ability gives higher tax income while higher morale is two-fold, it allows you to tax at a higher rate and keep your people happy, and also happy people will breed more (not like pop. growth which gives an added % to the growth itself, morale dictates what kind

Welcome Thor1950 (and obv. a fellow SG fan ) to a great game and a great fan community. And so you know, Seabass6.7 isn't kidding, Stardock has excellent customer service skills and really will do all they can to help you if you run into problems, so will the fan community. Again, welcome! ps myself and DethAdder are members of a group of players, some veteran and some new, that play in a monthly competition called the Metave

Reply to TA: more exciting ground battles, simple implementation in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

I would have to side with Neilo. And really, realistically, if a race has broken past your starships and other defending platforms (now there's a thought) then the writing is on the wall for your planet anyway. One suggestion I can think of that may work would be a Conqueror penalty enacted on worlds for a set number of turns, and maybe a higher chance of a world reverting to its parent race if its not garrisoned with ships (ala the Civ games) or other improvements and the such

Reply to Help Supporting Large Pops? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi chanter! Hope that you are enjoying the game so far though overall. When DA came out there were some changes made in the morale and population calculations that resulted in high population worlds have extremely low morale. Generally, most "veteran" players either have worlds with 13 billion or 20 billion, depending on the world and its bonuses, as once you get above 20 billion your morale drops off almost exponentially. In case you were wondering this also means in most almost 99%

Hi guys; I had pre-ordered TA when it first became available, and then was later informed by SDC that due to a processing/data issue my order had been lost. No biggie, SD was really cool about it and I pre-ordered again. About the same time the Beta schedule started I got my registration and all my sale information pertaining to my new purchase of TA (and the money out of my account) but...I can't seem to join in on the Beta testing or anything, when I am on SDC it still shows that I ca

Reply to NEW POLL: December or January release? in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

As actual Stardock users, we, the players of GalCiv, [color="#00BFFF"]know[/color] that SD is not going to abandon their games and will try their best to fix any problems that come up. BUT, for those that are asking for an earlier date partly for *new* buyers for the holidays, take into consideration that Stardock is not as widely known as the major companies and if TA did have bugs (which all games, no matter how good, do of course) then new players could end up with a bad impression and it co

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

As having just finished a Huge map where I was Evil and used the MCC i can say for sure it DOES still flip planets. HOWEVER, these are the observations I made: The rate of flipping will dramatically slow down from previous levels though the amount of crossbones seems to increase. I was able to flip asteroids, and lose asteroids, at any point after the building of the MCC. I personally have never had a world flip on me after building the MCC but I've never had my wor

Reply to Custome Race Design Bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

egable and CariElf, this particular "bug" happens when a player modifies a Standard Race and then uses it as a Custom Race later. The "Clear" button resets the presented race to its Default options, as it should. When this happens in a Custom Race Screen it basically means that the race is appearing "twice". The easiest way I've found to deal with this is when I start with no custom races, I hit "Next" on the Custom Race Selection Screen thus saving a Default Custom Race that can be loaded a

at above Tough they get various increases across the board. Its a tad random, and usually not much depending on the ability, the biggest increase is in the Economy and Production departments. I believe, though don't know for sure, they also start with a larger treasury at higher levels. Also at higher levels the AI is VERY willing to buy and lease projects/ships to complete them faster. Dystopic, Mumble, and others: If you were to modify a race, that is select it, and actually use

I don't personally feel that anyone would need to restart their games. To be honest, the difference in Diplo status is still minor, and its not that easy to get Ally status off the bat without being able to back it up. As for Race Configurations, as someone that plays with race configs A LOT let me clear up some things. When you start a game and do NOT modify your opponents, they (at Intelligent, Normal settings) get ONLY what appears for their BASIC stats (the ones that appea

Hi Ferrel. Can you change the spelling of thanx in your future comments. It is 'thanks' not thanx. I appreciate your willingness and cooperation in this matter.
