Reply to Stardock Please Revive MoO! in Strategy GalCiv2 Forums

I remember playing MOO in college and installing the game from 4 FLOPPY DISKS. I played MOO2 until MOO3 came out and then I went back to MOO2. What a huge disappointment. I also loved XCom. This was one of those game that kept you thinking about the game long after you shut down your PC for the night. (or early morning in most cases) I would love to see a new XCom with a Stardock twist that they can only provide. Since I recently purchased GalCiv2 I have started to love 4x again. Please S

Reply to The "1 turn per ship" colony strat, insane starting strat for DA in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Incredible write up! Since I am new to this game I did not even realise this stuff was possible. My mouth was WIDE open reading this. Thanks for the tips. I am still at normal difficulty and large universe but I cannot wait to try using small colony ships and faster starting speed. Bravo my hats off.

Thanks. This helps.

do factories help a new planet in social production? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I am still new and learning this game. When I colonize a new plant should I build a factory first? Does having a factory, star port or even a power plant help in the building of other social queued buildings? Say this planet is only going to have banking and economical related buildings would you even build a star port? If factories will not reduce the amount of time to build social building what will? I have the social focus on and it still is going to take 20 weeks to build my fist buildi

Reply to What is the deal with the Peacekeepers? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I never had the peacemakers mega event but I did have the pirates. That sucked. It was very similar to the peacemaker. I had many, many fleets of pirate ships everywhere on the map. They wiped out every ship and star-base. This (at first) was really cool. I sunk everything into research and maxed out my engine technology. I then simple built any ship I wanted and could outrun them. I then used them as a quasi Allie. If another race sent a fleet of ship my way the pirates would either ge

I will have to give that a try. Thanks.

Now that you mention it YES my income is below 500. I thought this was weird too. My income level per turn keeps fluctuation. One day it can say positive 1300 and then drop to -260. Since I cannot adjust my resources or build new freighters for trade how can I bring in more income?

My resources all say 0 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have been playing this one game that I am almost finished. It is just me and one other race. (The other 6 have been wiped out) I control over 60% of the map and I am well ahead in tech, pop, eco, etc. The next thing I know all of my resources (tech, social and military) for every planet are reading 0. I am now unable to research anything or build anything. Is this a bug? Could the remaining race have pushed his influence so high that it shut down my planet production and research? Coul

Always a negative income starting the game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have just started playing the game. It is very addictive. I am now starting my second game with normal (or is it novice) settings. 6 races and medium size galaxy with common settings. For the life of me I cannot get a positive income. I am 40-60 turns in the game and still cannot get in the positive. I have three trade routes all generating at least 4 bc. I have 2 economical mining star-bases that have been upgraded at least once each. I have a economical star base by my trade routs an

Help a new noob with importing ships in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I purchased Galactic Civilization II Gold Edition about a week ago and have not gotten any sleep since then. I love it. I started to download ship packs from the galciv2.com library. I have been reading post after post for the entire weekend on how to get the ships to appear in the game. I have not yet been able to get anything to work. I have downloaded many ship packs and none work. I tried the Kligon, ImperialShip pack, Kryos Hull system, LOC ship packs 1-2 and 3, Nothing shows up in my
