Theres also the Plague that takes away all abilities. The route to a cure is the same as the population killing plague I believe you left out the one where people have less morale due to taxes. I guess its similar to the other one where your people are less happy. Or is this the same one? Theres the economic boom one. The one where a minor has stollen all the techs from another race and will trdae then for star systms. I have never gottn the minior to trade me them.<

OR make unfinished and finished starbases look different on the screen somehow. I usually spend the time to click on a strbase and see what it has before i send a constructor. Sometimes i send an extra and then i just add to the bases weapons / defenses.

I just don't get why they promised this feature.[/quote] I saw on another thread that the AI does better with more planets to work with. I cant jugdge for myself since i relly just stick with larg maps. I would go biggr but the game would take too long and i find on medium war get declared too early.

What i see happen a lot is that the AI, even with a gret military will leave a lot of their force in orbit around planets. In my curren game the Korath were WAY above me but he had a hugfe hulled shiop on each planet, with some others. ONly a small leet or 2 for me to destroy befoe i could pick off their planets one by one.

[quote]2) Is there anyway to make spies more effective? Mine get caught after only a couple of turns...[/quote] they get caught if the AI has one to spare to neutralize it. With a better economy you can outproduce spies. Or wait and let the AI hopefully waste each other's spies. Thats why its cool that they cost progressively more. Life Insurance cost increases i imagine...

Reply to Plague cure - easy way to make money in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I got the loss of ability plague once. it really surprised me what i saw my numbers do. It was pretty cool, my income was like -3000, my moral was 1% (not a typo) on almost all of my planets, all of my higher end ships where gone from the starbase list (as if they forgot some of the tech needed to build them). Luckily my research ability was high enough to get the cure in one week. It was very late game and i controlled about 99% of the galaxy with only the Korath remaining. I checked

Your Wishes Granted... tactical combat, better planet invasions. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Since some people dont seem to like the current invasion concepts and others want tactical combat; I set out to do what i could to help, since the devlopers are really busy. Ok im not a developer myself but i think i've found some awesome state-of-the art additions to CG2, if the devs would just incorporate them. I just hope with the level of sophistication that most players' computers will be ble to hanlde them. The following screen shots show wht I'm talking about. First, t

Posting screen shots in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I know this has been asked before, a number of times, but i couldnt find the thread AND i believe that the site for imageshack.com is different that it was before. So, how can i post a screen shot in to a thread?

Reply to But Gamespot said... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I didnt know there was something wrong with Gamespot. what scandel? Are they a store too? I first learned about GC2 from that site so ill be eternally grateful to them for that. That is funny about the release date though.

Reply to Economic Treaty Option in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

1) Yes, you are only penalized if you attck someone that you GAVE your treaty to, not if you get it from someone. I only recenty discovered this from reading another thread. 2) I believe so, if race A also declares war. But i havent had that happen.

Reply to Economic Treaty Option in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I could be wrong but i don't think you get your treaty BACK if the receiver is destroyed. I think its just gone. ( ? ) I don't think the treaty concept would work if they could just be canceled. You have to consider cafefully who you give it to, if anyone.

Reply to Unsure of use of approval ratings in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I believe that at 21% you LOSE population, at less than 41% you dont gain population and above 75% you get something like a 25% bonus to population growth. (the loss of taxes needed to keep that kind of approval may not be worth the bonus). Mining morale resources is a great way to improve morale too. Another way is to pick a bonus to morale as an ability before you start the game and/or choose the political party that gives a bonus to morale, Universalists, i think.

I'm that way too. i spend a lot of time getting my infrastructure and research done and economic starbases (for the production bonuses). I build a couple of defenders but i am usually last in military. When war inedivtably gets declared on me its not hard to build up and destroy the AI who foolishly attacked me. The one strategy i use is that when the militaries are starting to get biggesr i rush research the soldering branch of the tech tree and make sure i get the ur Quan (or whatev

I was going to vote for PONG but it wasnt there, so i wet with CG2. If you figure that our own poll on this site only has a total of less than 500 votes, i say GC is doing well. I dont know if enough people even own this game to ctch uo to SupreemeCommander (sounds dumb btw, lol).

Reply to mission help in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Which one is that? is that the one where you need to place spies? i think on that one, if you're too good you cant finish it. That is the AI has to have enough structures built for you to use the spies ON.

Reply to Pre-invasion bombardment in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

i think it would really unbalance th game. imagine just having a ship that can destroy an inprove,ment in a tun that can take many weeks to build. no one will bother fights ship to ship, you could win by just destoying all planetary improvemnets a couple at a time.
