Reply to Planetary Invasion in Waves in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I think it's fine the way it is. I mean, it would stink to have a wonderful PQ 20+ suddenly ruined by an enraged AI with a few transports. It would also make defending your planets a top priority, meaning fewer ships out and about to actually fight the war. It would also make planets more of a liability, since to effectively defend them you would need pretty beefy ships in orbit around each one. As for splitting up transport fleets before invading, I have always done that. Y

The fleet warp bubbles probably aren't supposed to allow you past 5 pcs/wk either when you get that event.

Reply to What do you want to see in 2.0? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

All I want is for Stardock to code in some extra super abilities, so that your custom race can have a unique one (as opposed to, say, reusing Isolationist). I don't have any ideas for them, but still. I really like the previous suggestion though too, though I think it would be cooler as something other than a mega event. It would certainly be neat to be able to find and lay claim to remnants of the Precursors floating about in space. Maybe change the ascension victory, make i

Reply to Rangers luck runs out! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I hate it when the AI gets one of those Arnor battleships with like 40 defense in each category and about 200 beam, 50 missile, and 50 mass-driver attack (and 7 speed). That REALLY sucks.

Orgenesi Coalition Race mod, version 1.1 (TA) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

As it appears to have been approved, I have decided to create a topic for my OCCR (Orgenesi Coalition Custom Race) mod. As the name suggests, it is a mod which replaces the custom race with my own creation. This mod is intended to be fun and well-balanced, and as such requires some feedback to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible. Currently the mod is version 1.1, but it will be updated in response to feedback and oth

Reply to Cheaters in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

My highest score was about 26000 with the Thalans, but I would have to look at the highscores for the details (map size, time, etc.) Wasn't a Metaverse game though, I don't have an internet connection on my GalCiv computer.

Orgenesi Coalition Race Mod version 1.1 (TA) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

As it appears that it has been recently approved, I have posted a topic for my Orgenesi Coalition race mod, currently version 1.1. It replaces the custom race. My idea was to create a race that is well-balanced and fun to play, not overly powerful or too different (since tech trading may make other races overly powerful). Obviously this is open to suggestions. You can find the link to it here. U

Reply to Making a player-usable custom ship style in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for helping anyway. Actually, I just played a game as the Iconians, and they have the same problem! A bunch of their templates are duplicated. Now I think this is a glitch with the game itself, and hence unfixable by we the modders.

Reply to Making a player-usable custom ship style in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

You're not really understanding me. None of them are Terran ships. They are all mine, both the normal and duplicates. I'm not sure what causes this, it's rather strange.

Reply to Making a player-usable custom ship style in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I use "s12" as a prefix. Again though, it isn't that the style doesn't work. It works fine. There are just a number of duplicated templates in the templates section. I have tried just deleting the extras (which, BTW, look exactly like mine, not like the Terrans' or one of the other races), but it is only a temporary fix. They all come back when you start a new game. Maybe you're on to it with the prefix though, perhaps the game automatically adds in some templates for the custo

Reply to The dangers of selling yourself out to a traditional publisher in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I saw above somewhere that concerning EA's game deadline policy they follow "release now, patch later." I would like to correct this. It should be, in EA's case, "release now, patch never."

Reply to Making a player-usable custom ship style in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Mine. The ships work fine, but for some reason, under the templates tab in the Shipyard, a number of them are duplicated. Not all of them though.

Reply to Making a player-usable custom ship style in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hey, is there a way to make it so only one copy of each template appears? This is in my OCCR mod, which is currently pending approval. For some reason or another, under the Templates tab in the Shipyard, two Colony Ships appear, two Constructors, etc. but not all of them are duplicated. One of them was my own design, the other the default Terran design (although I used the Altarian style when I made templates). Then I renamed all my templates and shipcfg files to match those, to hopeful

Reply to I-League and other things in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

As I recall (it has been some time since I've seen it), I-League is the result of a mega event in which planets with low morale rebel against their owners, forming a new minor race. It is similar in that way to the Jagged Knife event in that a new minor race appears in control of multiple planets. Either that, or I think there is another event in which a new minor race is formed from some of the planets of evil races (but I have only had that one once, so I don't remember hardly anythin

Reply to weakest race? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I think the Iconians have gone from weakest (in DA) to being one of the strongest races (in TA). I mean, organic hull plating is awesome, buildings that give +50% planetary economy? Awesome. Self-healing hulls? Absolutely, totally, unstoppably awesome. I had one loser game as the Iconians in which the Dread Lords, due to some passivity on my part, conquered all but two planets in a small galaxy. Those two planets belonged to me, and were defended by uber starships (like 200 beam defense and atta

Reply to Agents - how is this a good addition? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

As I have seen, the AI is pretty smart in how it uses agents. You want to know a simple way I've found to dodge the AI's agent onslaught? Just make sure you don't have the highest military rating. As soon as you're el numero uno in offensive capabilities, they decide to take you down a notch. That is probably why you have such a problem with them. Although, that agent mega event majorly sucks if you don't have counter-espionage centers built on every world.

Reply to It's about time the AI shows some APPRECIATION! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

That is a great idea, I really like that. If they could manage to implement that one, that would be really cool. It would make it seem like you were actually running an empire as their ambassabor instead of their dictator. I hope Brad gets a chance to read this!
