[quote](if they are ever added to the game - this in itself could be a huge debate) [/quote] This is already a great debate thats been going on for some time. The devs have stated that tactical battles will not be in Gal Civ. If you want something like this, do what Zubaz suggested above and get SoSE. I dont know of a particular thread, but if you're interested, in past posts you will find a few on this topic.
I LIKE when the minors take resources, its like they're being nice and holding them for me until i can get around to gobbling them up.
Relations and diplomacy have niothing to do with the availablility of treaties. Diplomacy can have an effect on what you have to give to the AI to get one. As Loupdinour stated, each race can only have one of each to give. If you dont see one listed for and AI it merans that it was alreday given to another AI. In the Foreign Relations screen, look at the tab for "treaties" (i think thats what it says, like the third one over) and you can see purple and green lines which show where all the curr
I've seen it too, but never more than one, very close planet. Its cute.
I agree with Millertime, I would take the resource over almost any planet. Remember you're not only getting th bonus yourself, you're taking it away from an opponent. The only consideration i might have is how far awat it is from my other planets and territory. That is, how hard will it be to keep sending consturctors to and how hard ill it be to defend with a fleet? Another thing to keep in mind, if the planet is near your territory you may get it to flip, a resource starbase will n
... a very bad thing; to the thalans... they were my friends. Some how they managed to not colonize a single world, not one. However that one world had 2-300% researcgh tiles their tech capital and their manufacturing capital. All i could think was MMMMmmmm. I was the Drath (playing masochistic). early in the game the Korx picked on me and the Thalans GAVE me some ships, I didnt even have to ask. They're so nice. So time goes by and i remember their nice homeworld and how vulnerable
I have a question about the Thalan Super Ability... This is the one where they build factories in one week, right? I have never played as them but probably will on my next game. I'm still playing DA, btw. OK, my question is, does that superbility refer to just factories, as in the one building type with that name. or does it apply to all manufacturing structures, ie. factory, advanced factory, manufacturing center ad industrial sector? Thanks.
You could also reaload the last saved game or maybe the last auto save.
I dont even use tidal disruptors, but maybe ill start. By the time im invading i have the economy to afford minisoldiers and propaganda. Of couse, large is the biggest i've played so i dont have scores of planets per turn to invade. I did use tidal disruptor once, on some planet that was like full of morale buildings. Even if i could take the planet without special tactics, i like to have a decent population after. Thats why i use what i do. But i would take a PQ 10 planet o
OK aparently he was exagerating about the Millions of BC lost. His point is that his economy went from green to red. Basically this is something that you have to always keep and eye on when you play later in the game. Just like you do with you approval / morale. AT 600 bc/week you havent really been spending anything to reach even 20,000 bc. Think about what that cap is like for those of use making 5000 bc/week. Just do what rls669 said, spend each turn until you are below 20,000. A s

Well i explained that in my post. Here goes, Ahem... they are different, right? But each has its good points and bad. Each will help you with certain aspects of the game and win certain victories. See above for more detail. To CraigHB: the good alignments DO get bonuses, to defence and to hit points (to a small degree). Just by researching the defence trees which are not all that expensive, you can get an additional 15% bonus to your defenses FREE, in addition to some more pow
To get back to scoring of metaverse games if I may. I know that military victories get some kind of bonus over the other types of victories. Some agrue that this is a reward for sticking it out till the end and beating everyone. I mean, many times an influence victory is just a military one where you just dont bother sending in the last bunch of transports because its just not worth your time by that point. However, I think that scoring for all vicories should be the same. Going for a
Wow, missed the point entirely. I wasn't saying that it doent need to be balanced because its a single player game. I was saying that its not unbalanced in the first place. Good vs. evil, missles vs. lasers, it may arguably be said that one is better than the other, but that doesnt make the game unbalanced. In your example you compared classes of characters. If this thread were about different races and unbalancing (i would disagee but) i would at least see where your example was ap
Balancing of the game deals with Human verses AI, or even one race verses another. I think the races are pretty well balanced. To say that good is harder and that makes the game unbalanced is wrong. You have he choice in the game, i mean thats like saying the game is unbalanced because missles are better than mass drivers. Its just a different choice. I am playing good now for only the second time on a difficulty level i thought might be out of my range to play (masochistic). I won the
lol hydraulic fluid... ewwwwwwwww
Oh great, no there's an alliance bug? lol Should i wait to download the patch?
I think it said that they were ging them to me to help the war effort. Can't remember the wording though.
Are you guys talking about TA?
To keep things simple in my games i build one farm on each planet except for home worlds which dont get any but does get a moral building since it has a greater population. Eventually i have 13b on each palnet and i dont build any moral buildings. This makes moral manageable and i only lose one tile towards the farm. My question is, if i replace one stock exchange with another basic farm (+6 billion people or +3 billion?) Will the added population make up for the lost stock exchange?
In my curren game as the Drath, the Korx declare war on me. I was embarassingly woefully unprepared, i had the Alterians, thanans and terrands give me ships. it was nice. A few turns later the Terrans do it again. Nicer still, however i had made peace with the Korx on the previous turn. I figued that just didnt get the news yet and i took the ships. THEN they did it again on the very next turn. I wasnt at war with anyone. The Korx war was the only one of the game and it had been done f
Ok thanks, so is that movement bug i read about fixed too? What happened to you could have just been a one time glitch maybe it had to do with your alliance.
WOW if sarcasm could kill, ... I'd name a ship after it. I don't usually have that many designs in a given game, usually just one per hull size. They get upgraded as technology is available so i add a suffix. Then i just build the latest version only. My names are pretty much a prefix and then the hull size and then the version number / letter. So i might just say Beta-Large and Beta-medium. that way the alphabetical list has all of my designs lumped togeter and i dont have
I've found the same thing with economic treaties being hard to come by and very expensive. Some, as Iztok noted, wont give you one for anything. I tried to give the Alterians (as a test only) like half my planets and all my techs and money, it still stayed red. However, much earlier in the game they had one with the Drengin. I think the got it back (which they're not supposed to do) because i had them go to war with the Drengin using my Drath superability. Is this why? anyone? I have
Can someone tell me if the latest patch for DA is "all fixed", I'm till playing on 1.61 and wanted to get the 1.8's. But there was a lot of talk of bugs and not enough planets etc. So i waited. Since i haven't seen much talk about it these days with all the TA beta posts, I was wondering if I should update now. I'm looking forward to seeing anomolies later in the game. One more thing, where was that post that listed to changes to the gae in 1.8? Thanks.
