There's soldiers and civilians. That's how the Geneva Convention defines people in a war zone. It's been amended to include irregualar forces (partisans etc),,hence the term combatant/non-combatant. the 6 (or 7) m

Just remember one thing about the deaths... they were mainly brought on because of the Allied bombing of CIVILIAN TARGETS, a.k.a. cities. Not at all. The terror bombings were an atrocity in their own right,,but are in no way related to the deaths of the people in the various camps. One thing you have to admit about the National Socialists: w

Unlike the 80% tax issue,,you are able to get in a position where the 20k penalty doesnt matter. The biggest problem is that this "feature" is not documented in the manual nor show up ingame in any othe

Reply to Starbase Strategies in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Arming starbass prevents the casual potshots from lone fighters,,although they cannot stand up against a determined effort to destroy the base. Your biggest problem with the suggested strategy will be a percived weakness that eventually will lead to you being forced to take military measures or be wiped out as the other civs see you as a free meal unless you have the means to defend your teritory.

What was more germane to the topic was the point that the international language is far more "American" than "English" and that it will be easily usurped once someone else more powerful (i.e. the Chinese) comes along. US English

If anything,,Alpha Centauri was too easy. I know that since I maxed out the scores on my 4th try and while I do am a Civ fan ever since the original came out on Amiga,,I'm simply not that good.

Reply to Why Buy Dark Avatar? I already like Gal CIV2 in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Guess I should take my responcibility as Mr Upstream. First of all,,you have to understand that we are playing a beta game. That means all experience available is from a rough draft of the final expansion,,and hence not that valuble. Sure,the ship design now handles templates (meaning you have the base models of your ships constantly available. Just equip with the latest weapons and put in production.) Also,,you now can chose any improvement you have researched in

Would you really find the word "nazi" so evil and frightning if they hadn't killed all those jewish people? The about seven million others who died in the concentration camps (that includes detention-,,labour- and death camps btw) alone should take care of that part. If not,,the systematic atrocities commited behind the frontlines might suff

Reply to AI attitude levels in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

They do tell you what the AI finds pleasant/repulsive with your own civilization,,and in the long run their attitude will adjust accordingly. Your ingame actions can alter that though,,as can the use of diplomacy. For instance,,repeatedly requesting 'gifts' will lower your relation,,while supplying ships to a civ at war or declaring war on a common enemy will raise your relations without showing up in the plus/minus stats.

Have you simply become exhausted by the overwhelming barrage of "bad" English available today, or have you started "picking your battles?" If the latter is at least half true, tell us about your choice criteria, please. While not having English as my native tongue,,I do get annoyed by poorly written posts.

Only drawback on leaving bases around as far as I've seen is that it pushes the price for making new ones.

Reply to Four Ideas to Stretch the Game Out in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

, I notice a trend with weapons research specifically that allows me to upgrade a weapon, basicly making it cost more but save space, yet the weapon itself is exactly the same. You need to take a closer look at the tech tree. Each weapon has a number of refinements making it in essence smaller while doing the same damage and cost the same.<br

The reason for this is simple, when each turn is a week, and a portion of your population goes without food for that long, they cannot survive. The average human can survive 4-5 weeks without food as long as there is shelter and water. Anyway,,the problem seems to be that spies can be moved around without 'returning to base' so to speak.

So GalCiv2 has no tactical battles....?? Sorry to be honest here, but this is simply pathetic. If you havn't noticed,,GalCiv is a STRATEGY game.
