Reply to Ascension Mods in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Here is a answer from a question I posted: - "My understanding is that in order to win an Ascension Victory you have to "mine" 1000 Ascension points. Each turn that you have a starbase on a crystal you get 1 point. On medium maps there are 6 ascension crystals (don't know if this increases on larger maps or not), so having more starbases means collecting more points. 1000 turns if you only have 1 crystal, 500 if you have two, 333 for three, and so on." - Heres a possibility:<br

Is it not the same as other starbases......build a constructor and send it there? I've never actually built an 'Ascension' starbase before but I'm assuming it is treated the same way.

[quote]- Tech trading/whoring is too easily abused, particularly abusing minors -[/quote] I will say even with my limited exp. that this is true. Once, I was able to pay 248bc for stinger 3 missles even though I had not even researched ANYTHING along the missle tech line. Is 248 cheap for Missle 3......I sure thought it was. Note......I was giving that minor race 5bc every chance I got for like a year or two.

Reply to Beginning player with a question on expansions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, I would play DL first then DA. Those to me kinda seem like the 'minor leagues' when compared to ToA. ToA is a totally different animal. Get used to the basic techs that all races have first. I've been playing ToA for a while now and I still haven't played with all the races or got used to all the race specific tech trees! But they are a blast!!!

[quote]Zero Year Win https://forums.galciv2.com/300853 Basically, you snuff out the AI before it gets it's legs (usually 13 turns into the game, no earlier for MV games or be flagged as a cheat). That said, it really doesn't matter what setting the AI is on, since it never gets up and running w/in that time.[/quote] Wow..........

[quote]Yes. As GW said above, they seem to meld into one lump.[/quote] I most likely haven't noticed because of the level of difficulty I have played on. When I go to the trade screen I always have more techs then the other races/ I started to play the game on cakewalk and have played at least 4-5 games with different races before moving to the next level. Right now I am on my last game before I move to 'Tough' (dont laugh). Is it true that the 'Tough' level is the la

[quote]There are two perfect examples for keeping tech trading off.[/quote] So you think having it on give advantages to certian races? Man, I will have a tough time turning it off. I love trading for techs. Must have techs. Need all techs. Especially race specific techs [quote]The Thalans no longer have the slow start due to lacking factory/lab buildings.[/quote] Ok I get that, but doesn't somebody still have to trade it to them to get past the slow start?<br

[quote]I suppose there's a corresponding strategy of trying to ensure an enemy has and uses improvement techs that you want to see on your new conquests if you play with trading on.[/quote] Yup. I do that. Especially when a race is is almost defeated. I'll trade to them Banks or something else economical, back off them and wait for a bit while I do other stuff. Then either conquer or influence flip them and BOOM........instant money world!

Acsension Victory??? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I am playing a game where I have turned the Acsension victory on for the first time. A message box at the top left saying Drath victory in 999 turns……..ok, no big deal, I get that. How many crystals do you need to have a starbase on? When I looked around the only race that

Tech Tree ON vs OFF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Every game I have ever played I have had the tech trading on. I’ve noticed that a lot of people play with it off. I was wondering if someone who has played it both ways would tell me how the dynamics, strategy, style…etc of the game change when it is off.

[quote]The 4850 is probably the best price/performance ratio (after the 4870), but the 8800gt's have dropped down in price since the latest series of cards were released.[/quote] Which one of the ones you mentioned is better? The price really doesn't matter. A better question. Which video card out there is the best right now and compatible with most games, operating systems, DirectX 10, etc. I think I want that one!
