Minor bugs regarding techs and improvements in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi I have noticed the unique improvement "Shrine of the Mithrilar" is lacking the news-picture when it is announced to be built. This bug has been here for long and after 1.95 I happened to notice the reason is that in gfx folder the responding file has been misspelled. I have fixed it for myself easily, but still wish to see it resolved by an official patch. Yet some others: When a new tech is ready, there should be a nice animated model displ

Reply to Racial Balance as of Beta 6A in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

question 1 I think Drath is just way too powerful. In my immense game with 9 AIs, just after I researched the war profiting techs they greatly increased their incomes like 1000bc/week while I just paid about 300 cashes to convince AI to make war. For that reason, Drath needs no population techs, no economy techs, no reproduction techs, and no trade techs at all. question 2 Not find any of it. I have tried so far most races except Krynn, Drengin and Korath. question 3<br

Recruitment center is always a must. I tend to develop it at the very beginning of new games, or research the translator just to buy it from minors when it's unreachable for my race. Don't forget most standard economic techs can be traded. In later games, Yor can also benefit from them. Needless to say this extra economic tech tree can even help Yor become one of the richest races. ps. What I find it weird is the Efficiency Studies II the only tradable tech in its series. Maybe

Reply to When will TA be released and will TA be avaible in stores? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

IMO, the situation is not "Stardock hasn't given TA an official date", but they have given TA too many official dates. At first it was scheduled on december, which after a vote was moved to january, then is end of march also be spoken at the beginning of this year... Anyway, I am glad to hear the new release plan. I once thought we will never receive another beta patch just because of the too closing agenda. But now it seems there is still some more time for improvements.

[quote]Is there any chance that the new beta will be released before next Thursday?New eta on the beta would be nice Stardock.[/quote] Agree, I have tried following the release plan of this beta in last 4 weeks. (1 week cause SoASE, 1 week after, 1 week for good valentin, and 1 week since personal illness). A few more turns never hurt... But I do believe during those 4 turns much could have happened, and so grows my anxiety.

Reply to Some AI issues in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think AI should improve their star bases' usage, and especially equip military bases with more modules. Also they should learn to create fleets more activly and never hide so many ships on plants without orbital fleet managers, which will be easily slaughtered one after another.

Reply to Post your TA suggestions here in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I am not sure if following point are just "tweak" or "big suggestion": Can those "A has declared war on B" icons just be concealed if the player has never contacted with A yet? recentlly I find it buggy to just click out their diplomacy window and buy a single ship from it, after which I can always offically "learn a new race" at next turn. Resently Dominion of Korx can build trade routes even before their universal translator is ready, which is really unresonable in my mind.<b

Reply to Observations on the latest Beta and a bug report in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]They are currently trading whores for everyone and cannon fodder for agressive players. [/quote] This point inspire me and I think the race ethic should also affect the outcome of the tech-trading. For instance, an aggressive and devil race must pay more to get weapon technologies while a "peaceful race" should feel much harder to extort neighbours just using its fleet.

Reply to Observations on the latest Beta and a bug report in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

What I do at the very start of my recent games is to disband the miner ship and try to get that population growth technologie, then follows the Trade. I have not many colonies before I start building freighters, most of the time the only starport is idle, just to save every piece of penny. I am finding this new economy system challangering,but much too tough for AIs. before I start building my own fleets, there are always races already knocked out.(once even when I have 5+ tradering ro
