[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="30" id="2650641"] The entire community? What's that these days? 5 or 6 people in a single empire? Pfft.[/quote] In that case, who cares what goes on in DL or the YZWs? I sure don't. As far as I am concerned, these individuals are doing what they have to to keep the dead, beat-to-crap games interesting. They are merely showing some initiative, and keeping interest up in a waning gaming community. That being said, these games should ought be decla

Ha! 549 planets, and I own them all by March of Year 2! Bwwwwoooooohahahahahahahahahahahha I switched my custom race to the Arcean tree, and solved my PQ issues. For those who may feel somewhat reluctant to modify the config files, this is very easy to do from the in-game screens. You can easily experiment with different standard AI behavior/techtree/super ability combinations.It is also fun and rewarding to change the alignments, financial abilities and aggression lev

Well, it worked for me, too! The map was %(#(, though, so I'm starting over. My particular strategy requires at least class 10 planets, and this map was eat-up with 8s. dadburnit.

ToA-Custom Race Experiment! in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

All the discussion of late got me wondering: Can I create Custom Races to play against, and can they all have the same tech tree? It probably came up before, but I'm too lazy to go look for it. Well, there's one way to find out, and I'll post the results here as a public service. Here's what I am going to try: Me: Custom Race (CR), Super Diplomat, Torian Tree Them: CRs with the Drengin tree. Object: To see if if works, and to get culture-flip planets th

[quote who="kryo" reply="16" id="2649394"] The difference is that setting a normal AI opponent to use the Dreadlord AI type causes it to never research on its own and never fight back, as I understand it. You will always be able to sell every tech to them; It completely neuters them.

Reply to Fall of a GC2 Titan in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Alow me to reiterate this: ***Look, it's a good trick, but not all THAT good. 9 AIs with 200% econ ability usually have 20k between them by the time a player has enough desirables to trade for that kind of cash.*** If Kryo wants to take the position that this is an undesirable tactic, he needs to come on this thread and make his case. I don't think he can, because I don't see the type of advantage that compares to the ToA Planetary Governor Exploit. Again, to take advantage

It would defeat the strategy to use more than one "3". It does open some exiting new avenues o
