Reply to Ways to improve Starbases in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I do like the idea of capturing starbases. Perhaps that's where spies could fit in? (You could only capture one if you had an espionage agent onboard?)

Thanks! I think the problem with this idea is there are so many possible additions. Originally, Super Nomad would be something like as long as you had a ship remaining, you would not be defeated (it could be a transport, or you could upgrade a ship to be a transport), and you could take a planet and 'come back from the grave'. But I liked my idea a little better.

Reply to Permanent Wormhole Anomalies:A Fun/Strategic/Balanced Way to Deal with Speed issues on Big Maps? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

What, no responses to this wormhole idea? In any case, I think it's a good one. I came up with this following idea: Late in the game, really late- perhaps make it off of a tech like Beyond Mortality, or Deeper Knowledge, make a tech called Artifical Wormholes. Once researched, you have the power to actually 'create' wormholes. You'd set an endpoint, and it would start somewhere- anywhere- near your core systems (older planets, but possibly not where you want it). The idea w

This has been gone a while, but- Allow ships to dock at a starbase, giving bonuses. Doing so can do a variety of things depending on the base. Influence: The arrival of a ship of the line makes the crew of that ship instant celebrities, increasing influence. Economic: More ships in the region means increased commerce on board between the crews, boosting trade. Military: Veteran troops train soldiers and support the starbase's weapons, giving it better boosts among the f

Woah, something went wrong. I tried to edit my second chapter to add a title and change some other things, and it created a brand new post. Can the post that has a chapter without a title be deleted please?

Reply to Rise of the Snathi Horde in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks! I thought some people might be confused in the Precursor battle, but in any case, here's the next chapter. Hopefully, it's the last one before the actual game starts, well, maybe not. Chapter 2: The Prehyperdrive Snathi Horde As the years passed, the Snathi did exactly as their creator predicted. They hoarded and stole resources, slaughtered and ate each other, and engaged in sadistic pleasures. Finally, one Snathi chieftain attempted to unite the various Snathi by

'Generic' Super Abilities in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

So I was playing with a custom race, using a default Super Ability. Then I began to wish that there were some 'generic' super abilities, extra to make custom races even more 'custom'. Of course, they can be modded in, but it would be simpler to have some 'generics' around. These are the ones I wished was in the game, as an example. Super Telepath: Loyalty is increased on every planet, and telepathic abilities improves the efficency of morale and influence buildings. (No numbers

I would love to have the option to have fourteen races on the map. I was a bit irritated even in DL when, if you were custom, you could only play with nine of the ten races.

Rise of the Snathi Horde in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, I'm still working on my other AAR but to make me try and get back to it more often I thought I'd do another one. Currently, I just started a game as my new custom race, the Snathi. Yes, the rodents. Unfortunately, this might be a little slow-paced. I'll have to start off a long time before the game actually starts, I will also do a few chapters before and after the game as well. So this is the first chapter- the Battle of Kalis-Yu, the 'epic' conflict of the Arnor/Dread Lord war. <

Using custom opponent as custom race? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, recently, I created a custom opponent that I wanted to use as an opponent in my Krynn game. This game is still undergoing play. However, I'm nearly finished, and I want to use this race as a custom 'player' race- i.e., as my race. Now, I know that creating a custom species to play as adds it to the list of opponents. However, it would be a lot simpler if there was a quick way of doing the other transfer. Any files I need to manipulate, or buttons to use- or should I just

Well, not every battle. But all the major ones. Bunker Hill/Breed's Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, Valley Forge, Yorktown. There was also something at a place called Morristown (not sure about it it, and two introducers. . Yes, that is true. I'd much prefer to be using the actual factions, and I'd rather there be no Fountain of Youth. In my opinion, while the first three campaigns were not historical enough, Fire was 'too historical' (combined fictional character and real history), Shad

In the backstory, Delta-3 (should be D-3, following the Yor naming pattern) is a Yor who sells ammunition and armament (a weapons merchant), presumably to speed the extermination of carbon-based life forms. He's not in the scenario. If they knew what they were doing, Delta-3 should just have been made the Yor leader for this mission. But none of the characters are actually in the scenario.

Reply to Twilight of the Arnor: Technology Tree Concepts in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

What about minor races? Do they just have normal tech trees? And how will T.T. be adjusted? In my opinion, you should be able to trade any tech to anyone still, so the Drengin can trade Slave pit technology to the Terrans if they want. Because in theory they can still learn the technology.

Reply to Science Vessels.....maybe a new type of ship? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Science vessels would be better implemented (I think), along with space terrain For instance, bringing a science ship through a nebula (a ship with an Interstellar Laboratory module or some-such thing) would boost something depending. For instance, maybe you discover a new type of scientific research by examining the nebula or a new manufacturing process by studying a comet field. Whatever. That would differ from Survey Ships, because anomalies disappear, but these would

Wait... Were all of the Drath wiped out? I've been told they were, and the game says so, but the Drengin had been warring with the Drath before the final assault on their homeworld. Wouldn't some be still alive as slaves before the Drath world was annihilated? Or was every single Drath killed by the Korath, even slaves? And what about their agents and like-wise in other cultures, do you expect me to believe they were eliminated too? It just doesn't fit. Some Drath might have al
