Reply to BETA 4: Last one in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

This is the first time I have been Involved with a beta test and to be honest I not really sure what you need, or the best way to

Reply to My thoughts on cultural conquest in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Technician Wrote "Do the same thing playing evil and the aliens see you more evil and are more likely to tend to war" Yes If you stuck it in the middle of their territory But around the edges with good defences, and strong military. Then you could use cultural influence. If we did'nt have to kill all the civilians to take over a planet you could stir up the subjugated people of the previos empire on the planet, Like Poland Then send a strong militaty force to allow

Reply to My thoughts on cultural conquest in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think Technichian is correct about the global economy, but I do think that cultural influence makes a difference on whether a culture will ally itself with another. Japan today is not the Japan of 60 years ago. The US decided that it's political structures needed to change, and they did. I don't think the concept of freedom existed in Japan, because it was a Feudal system. The US changed that. Japanese children are now taller than their Grandparents due to more protien in the diet courtesy of

when you ally with other race could'nt you merge your culture points. This would make races on the edge extintion still worth allying with, as the extra culture points would eminate from the new planets of your ally, or through yours if the other player has a stonger cultural influence. If you look at the US and UK we are allies and we accept that the US culturally "Exports" both to the UK and other countries, but our "morality" is shared we do not get upset. (besides we don't have to learn any

My bigest problem with GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I like GC but I find that any maps bigger than large, become too slow later in the game. I have just waited for 90 seconds for the other players to move. one of the major races are out and there is only one minor race left. I can't see the point in playing huge maps they become tedious, due to the lag. I know you have tried to improve this but I think you are still a long way off. Also when you ally with other race could'nt you merge your culture points. This would make races on the edg

Reply to Stability in GalCiv beta 3A in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No crashes but there are a few weird bugs Mainly influence. I played a game and I had a 8-10 digit influence rating for about 10 games. At the moment the dialog that comes up when you try to go somewhere out of range comes up either when the AI has moved or at the end of my move, and I can't dismiss it for 20-30 clicks. I don't have any ships going anywhere out of range. And on the same game the Yor who where one of the most powerful empire in this game, who I was allied to

Reply to Gameplay, balance, etc in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have just tried to use sector sweep. It was'nt what I was hoping for. I was hoping for an Auto explore function that you could send the scout to a point and it would reveal space from that point out or perhaps have different search patterns. Looking good though

Reply to Beta 3 is available in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I had trouble with galciv ex. as well. I closed down the dgm and it finished and loaded fine. Don't know if closing the dgm actually did anything but it must have stopped downloading 10 times, before this. Just started multymedia download. It's 5.30 am here. Could'nt sleep. Can't think why.

Tech Tree in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am in the middle of a very long game. I have found that the tech tree is too big or some items take too long to reserch, or the reserch speed is too slow. Even when I got all the computer techs ( Brainwave mapping was not available to research (I may have traded it) but there were notera computers to research) It was still taking 60 to 80 months to complete. Also if you do reserch Galactic peace or domination it does'nt finish the game is this right? To get to galactic peace I had to rese

Reply to USS ? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

To a degree I agree but it is made in America, and you can change the name of the political leader. As for USS it's good enough for Star Trek so I don't mind that so much but what could be done instead of Capital ships being numbered they had a name like the Hood, Ark Royal, or indeed Enterprise.

Reply to B2b - Infinite move points and hang when ship in sentry gets attacked in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I get the same problem when my ships are on guard. I am on xp too. until this gets fixed it is not worth playing as it happens EVERY time I play it. For some reason the skin changes colour for no reason, and as time goes on the turns seem to get longer and longer. I know there is a lot going on but Ihav'nt got a slow machine AMD XP 1600+ OK not superfast either but should I be noyicing a slowdown.

Reply to Beta 1Y seems much harder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just a thought, But if as frogboy suggests the alian races already know where all the good planets are, surely they would already have all the best ones and stoped expanding as there is nothing viable left. Therefore the only way the terrans could expand would be terraforming and stealth. So terrans need those tech advantages at the start rather than much later in the game. as I said just a thought.
