Reply to galciv2 vs master of orion 2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The AI and the diplomacy is much better. And your ships can go over the entire map, not just the stars. There is also influence that works similar o culture in civ 4 if you have tried it. However you do not have any control over the space battles, and I often miss that. But all in all galciv is a better game.

Reply to Torians, Torians, Torians... in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

When I played the Yor and saw that there was a 2% courage bonus with the aquatic tech I chuckled, made me think of toasters and water . But if every race get the bonus i guess it isn't as funny.

[quote] Assuming we all were, what would it matter? The tourney is medium, and it's the only TA game I've been playing since the update. So what? If medium games are broken, that's still not a good thing! It is not broken small map it is easy to have 50% to 60% of influense on the map. Play on gigantic or immense maps you will still be in a cash crunch. On smaller maps your influence is half of the map so get get the big pop

Reply to Post your TA suggestions here in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I tried to read the most of this thread, sorry if this has been said before. I would like a governors tab-like option to upgrade all of one specific structure to an other kind. With all the new different techs you can sometimes get a lot of different versions of the same kind of structure. In my last game I had adv. trade center, some other trade center and the evil bazaar economic-thingy. The bazaar gave me the most +% at the time, but since it wasn't on the upgrade path for adv. trade

Reply to Tactics of tourism (too much of the good stuff) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I agree whole heartedly. Before tourism was pretty useless, never even bothered with the temples. But now it's way crazy. Some middle ground would be best, so that the colony faze isn't to hamstrung but it shouldn't, like most people have said, make every economy tech redundant. I just finished my first Obscene and with ~4000 in tourism income it felt more like painful.

Great read, thank you Wyndstar! Have you tried an all economic approach on suicidal, I don't know if it is doable but it would be interesting perhaps? Hope you make more AARs!

Reply to Can good Drengin make slave pits? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I apologies before hand for the grammar: I would say that to have slave pits when you have chosen the good alignment is hypocritical. First of, let's look at what the game say is good an evil. After you have played the game a few times it gives you a pretty thorough explanation of what it (the game) means by good and evil. Namely the moral choices that pop up now and then. Not only is the, IMO, overlaying theme that the good choices are what humans would call "good". They actu

[Bugg and/or feedback] Fleet management in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I played as Drengin so I get a boatload of dominator corvetts when I declare war. however when I try to move them all by selecting them and clicking on the map, a few of them won't move. After about half of them has been moved the game skips the first two fleets of corvetts (and they don't seem to get "Auto Move" as illustrated in this film: http://files-upload.com/files/591192/FleetGlitch.wmv Suggestions: 1) I would like all the selected ships to move. 2) Is

[Feedback] Psyonic beam is to easy to research in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

When I choose evil I was able to research psyonic beam immediately, and it just took 5 weeks even though I played all-factories and hadn't research that many other techs. Sure the module is expensive but it seems a bit broken. Especially when Psyonic shredder and missile has the same prerequisites. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2275/gc2twilightofthearnor20wb0.png
