[quote]3. Some upgrades need to be tweaked, my archers had the magic bows (fire attack) and then "upgraded" to 8 damage bows.

I liked the way ship upgrades in Galciv were handled, easy to see exactly what you're upgrading and what the cost would be.

Reply to AI can't handle certain game types? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="Tolmekian" reply="4" id="3124542"]The same goes for the minor races. One of the AI's failings is that the minors never give their treaties to anyone. My old game plan was to get all the minor treaties, but now I leave them be. In fact, since I play with cheats, I like the idea of having the minors trade their treaties to the local major as a form of tribute. They get some techs, money, and a little security in the bargain.[/quote] Neat! So much

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="402" id="3125168"]Another way would be to use several tech requirements per technology. You can have two or more requirements per tech. For example, I added Fusion Power Plants as a requirement to Xeno Factory Construction (in addition to Xeno Industrial Theory) and it worked. I then did the same with the other factory techs and it still worked. Even my change to Alliances (requiring Advanced Diplomacy, Trade and Interstellar Governments) worked flawlessly. The o

It has such distinct preferences that you end up having to trick it into a balanced research strategy. Surprisingly, it competes pretty well given its deficiencies. At least, in early v3.0.

Heh, the Iconians LOVE the government techs - they raced toward the Federation (or Interstellar Commonwealth, as I renamed it for them) and built the Galactic Monument before I even realised they were going for it. In fact, generally they're starting to perform really well, which is heartening. The Iconians and the Yor also both love their respective ethics techs too, far more than their rivals the Drath and Drengin. The Korx, on the other hand, have shown no enthusiasm for their

I just started a new game playing as Terrans, and qrtxian's conversation mod has really come into its own. Every race I encounter seems to come out with something I haven't heard before about their particular beef with the Terran Alliance (including the Drath introducing themselves by saying that we looked a little bit too much like Altarians for their liking, and the Yor having an even larger repertoire of clever things to say about 'talking meat'). So thanks to both of you!<

Neilo, what are SB array and S4P? My Iconian game is, painfully slowly, dragging towards an alliance victory with the Altarians, Drath, Arceans and Krynn. I have to be careful about how I finish off the other races as the Altarians are allied to me, the Drath and the Torians and close to another couple of races, so they could conceivably beat me. I have so many planets (thanks to conquering half of the Jagged Knife and the whole Korath Clan) and such an immense research capacity that

Weirdly, in my current game the Jagged Knife seem to have got smart, or at least smarter. About halfway through taking their 70+ world empire from them, they started getting competent, at least in terms of massing their fleets and hunting me rather than just sitting there and taking invasion after invasion, building ships but not launching them. They have even been building, launching and sending out troop transports (with escorts!), although I haven't witnessed them launching a successfu
