WoW. After reading all that, my eyes are watering. I'm a newb, but here's my 0.02$ worth. first off, imho the ethics of galciv2 DA is a lil flawed. I have edited the races i have played against. making the dredgin, derdgin(war party, evil, militaristic, etc etc etc) and making terran, terran(populists, peace loving, anti-militaristic) and the results are about the same. somebody will usually try to extort me, and then go to war with me. and half of the time it's a "good" r

I don't think so m8. i think the best thing u can do is research trade, and build yourself a galatic privateer, it'll protect all of your trade routes

Possible reasons:1) When your treasury goes over 10k, trade income halves.[/quote] my treasury was over 60k, and the change didn't take place until war with the terrans [quote]2) Some of your freighters simply restarted the trade route (returned to the starting planet and started a new travel).[/quote] i was thinking that, but considering that i had over 2k of trade income from roughly 15k to 60k, i know that me freightors had to do at least 2 or 3 trips in there.

Ello Gents Here's the situation. b4 the terrans declared war, my trade income was well over 2k. i had 8 routes going to the alterians and i had roughly 10-12 econo bases(each with the traderoute freightor $$ increase mods) along the freightor trade routes. As soon as the terrans declared war(via one of those diplomatic events that spiral outta control) i now notice that my trade income is around 672$(which i believe is what it was b4 i went hog wild on the econ

Reply to do you all start out as an evil race, or is it just me? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Thanx Lightwalker. I'll give that a shot. Alex, i'm playing a custom race. and as far as i can tell, i'm not picking in the edit phase as evil minded. lighwalker, no i'm not starting out as evil(i have to research ethics) but when i begin a game i look at my civil engineering tool(the place where u can set your govenors to build stuff on all your planets) and in the ethics bio or whatever it's called. I'm all the way on the evil side. and this is turn 1!!! Anyhoo

do you all start out as an evil race, or is it just me? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

noticing that everytime i play a new game, that i start out in the ethics department, as evil. Wouldn't it make more sence to start out as neutral? considering that it's the biginning of the game and all? Or am i missing a crucial beginning "before the game" setup procedure?

My gameplay style is basically. pick up a few good planets close to home base and then maximize the planets and starbases. with DA i had to tweak the starbases. on the planets this is what i usually run. 3 factories, 1 farm, 1 entertainment complex 3 research and 3 money makers. with that strategy, the ai(sub-normal) usually out classes me with logistics and ships(it's kinda sinking feeling when u see 4 20 to 36 hp doomlasered frigates coming at ya, especially

I asked the sales person if I could look inside and they let me. In most cases the inside was gutted - no CD, no manual just an ad sheet. Theyc hecked the back and told me they sometimes take the contents out for display purposes, but no dice.I finally found one in a store that was till sealed.Seriously, in on mall someone gutted all copies in

[quote]What does Super Warrior have to do with Pirates? The Pirates usually go high on Defense anyway, so Super Warrior won't be too useful against them unless you have very high-end optimized weaponry. And they are the ones who come with fully optimized ships, not you.[/quote] Sorry M8, i should had been more specific. I was talking about the game GalCiv DA. since i have the right copy, i'm playing on that. not playing DL anylonger, since DA looks mundo better.

It means that if they attack you and they have enough firepower to kill your ships, then you won't get to fire back at all, regardless of your weapons. If you attack them, their superability doesn't apply.I can't tell you about the number of digits, but if you are playing a used game and the previous owner
