I personally havent seen one, but I think DethAdder said he got one last game. They are definitely a lot more rare. Even the +300% mines and libraries are more scarce.

Reply to Thalans, beam weapons, general help needed.... in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I think the Thalans get a miniturazation bonus, which would allow them to add more weapons, and they might have weapons bonuses with their racial points as well, maybe even the war party political set-up. But I am unaware of any race getting beam weapon tech bonuses, except for the Korath, they get that weird ion weapon thing. Have you actually fought the ships? Are they using psionic beams? You can get those fairly early. As for the Krynn, I'm not sure why they are do

Thank you, I had fun typing it as well. The imagery alone makes me chuckle ;)

Reply to Weapon System Concentration in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Agreed, lets say you have 10 missile and 10 laser strength and your opponent decides to counter with 10 defense of beams. Roughly, you'll have the full 10 missile getting through and all of the beam neutralized. Now lets say you decide to simply make your warship 20 beam and no missile. The enemy will still absorb 10 beam, allowing the other 10 damage to hit the ship, so no difference overall. But, by focusing on just one weapons line of development, you'll get farther along the branch allow

Reply to Have these forums slowed down or is it just me? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yea, I have noticed it as well. Sometimes I just close the entire browser and reload the page and it seems to work better. I'm sure thats a "ghetto-fix" for some of the more technical geniuses of these forums, but its about the best solution I have found when I need to post something extremely important...like how [I]Star Wars [/I]is not Sci-Fi but rather historical.

Reply to Bullying other races (and other moans about the diplomacy screen) in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

One time the AI asked me for "Tree Fitty". I woulda given it to him to avoid war, but right when I was about to capitulate, I noticed that the "Korath Ambassador" was really a 15 story-tall creature from the Paleolithic Era. So I said, "Dammit Lochness Monsta, I aint givin' you no tree fitty! Get off my porch!"

CommanderGizmo: So if I just installed from SDC (not sure what Impulse is), what would I need to do to RE-install it? Just delete the whole darn thing and try again? And other than experimenting with research times again, how would I know if the new re-install "worked"?

Reply to Latest Update WTF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I REALLY enjoyed reading this thread. Lots of humor here, good times and noodle salad for everyone! Anyhow, for what its worth, I would like to add that I have started to see research times that don't make sense as well. We can rule out install problems because I didnt have the beta anyhow, but my problem as been with the Korx. Games plays fine, econ is perfect, I'm on a tiny galaxy, masochistic, with 6 or 7 opponents. I control 17 planets. Needless to say, I'm "winning" at

Reply to Thalans (played by AI) seem to expand like crazy in every game - daunting in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

They are somewhat limited in what they can do in the early game. So they tend to build lots of colony ships and embassies. The Pink Blob of Doom strikes again!

My money is on them telling you they will be there between the hours of 12 and 6 PM. You'll take off work, and at 6:45 PM, some guy will call you "lost" for the last 2 hours and has been looking for your house.

Reply to Something about Scifi channel i don't get. in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Well, since everyone knows that [I]Star Wars[/I] happened "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", the movies are not really [B]Science Fiction[/B] as much as they are [B]Historical Documents[/B]. Sci-Fi channel, IIRC, doesnt focus much on biographies or re-creations of historical happenings, so it probably doesn't like airing the movies. All kidding aside, it probably doesn't want to pay the licensing rights to show the

Hammers and baseball bats are usually good solutions. If those don't work, try tall buildings with large windows.

Reply to Finding out ToA is harder than I first thought. in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Well, TA changed quite a few things, and most related to economy. 1. Starting cash is lower. The Korx have a solution in that they can rush buy ships cheaper, which is nice, and you can get it in the first 2 turns or so, its a tech you research. Anomolies also help a lot, so speed can be important, and neither the Korx nor the Krynn get a speed penalty, like the Arceans (lame) 2. Some races have population growth penalties now. But not the Korx or Krynn. 3. Build

Try the Korx or the Krynn until you get the hang of it, they have fairly manageable economies. On a smaller map with a lot of opponents, War Profiteering is fun. And the Krynn have crazy morale and influence boosts, making ehe econ aspect pretty easy.
