Reply to How di I play editors? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

There seems to be a problem as to where you save your own maps/scenarios. Well maybe not a problem per se, but the defaulted place does not show up when you load the game. Go into your programs and find Twilight og the Arnor, and find where the maps are saved. THis is the directory to which you should move your personal maps to get them to come up.

Reply to pla help me with the twilight expansion in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

You need Hull Sizes as techs. Research the Hull Size tech Large Building for Battleships It is an Orange Technology in TA - you should be able to go to the Research Screen and follow the tree there and it will give a description as to what it will let you do. If you have this Technology and still cannot build Battleships, then there is something else wrong.

Reply to Can't keep people happy ?? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

If you have more than 18 or 20 billion people at the max, there is nothing to do. A planet cannot happily sustain such population. Morale Techs//Trade Goods help a lot. Yellow Morale Resources on the map with fully built Starbases, every +Mining module available. Seems you probably know these options, I am pretty certain you have too many people. Don't let a planet have more than 18 billion people. Some go for 20 billion, but absolutely no more than that.

Reply to Deletion of custom race in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Unless someone gives a faster way, here is how I do it Start a new game Select a regular race like the Terrans or Drrengin (the idea is to not have a custom race selected at the time) The next screen has "Save" "Load", etc on the bottom Select "Load" This Screen will show all the races that you've played and you can highlight a race Select "Delete" in this window. :D

Reply to breaking a research treaty in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

Well, you could also load the last save before the treaty. Note that when you give a race a treaty (economic or research) you do not lose anything. The 10% is not subtracted from your treasury/labs, just shared. Also, when you start a war against a race with which you have a treaty, a permanent "-" is added to every other race's view of your civ. That is to say, the other races will look unfavorably upon that action and that view will never change. That being said, if the race wit

Reply to Some advice please in Game Talk Stardock Forums

18 billion is the max for me, but some try and squeak out 20 billion people. Are you playing Dark Avatar or Twilight of the Arnor, in TA once you get 20,000 BC in the bank, your income will plummet, so spend such that you don't cap. If you get a yellow food tile (300% bonus to food) DONT put a farm there :D Research the +morale techs Build Trade Goods or other special buildings that give a CIV-WIDE bonus to morale. Harmony Crystals, Spices, etc. Fi

Reply to Espionage in DA/TA in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

[quote]I'll be confirming that later, but as far as I remember, +espionage only allows you to SPEND more money, thus getting spies faster.So for example, figuring the exact same incomes for all 3 races:-the Yor with +0 would spend, lets say 1,000bc when set at 25% spending-the Kyrnn with their +50 would spend 1,500bc when set at 25% spending-the Iconians with their +100 would spend 2,000bc when set at 25% spendingThat's at least what I've always thought of it.

Reply to How do I get opponents from spying on me? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Its easier to go to the Domestic Screen and then Espionage and eliminate them that way. Just double click on the enemy spy for whatever building and POOF, he's gone. Provided of course you have some spies too. [quote]I have hundreds of planets I own, so It would be a bit bothersome to spend 50 hours out spying all the spies on my planets.[/quote]

Reply to A couple of ideas on starbases and carriers in Twilight of the Arnor Stardock Forums

The Carrier thing with fighter boils down to adding nothing more than Beams and possibly Hitpoints to a large ship. To do it differently, like causing the enemy to have to individually attack these smaller ships - would require an overhaul to the battle system and is not realistic. [U]In my opinion[/U] I like the SB ideas though. I would also like to see a cap on eco-SB's affecting a planet. The upgrade via SB's and planets seems like a neat idea too.

DarkKnight, I think I know exactly what you're talking about, and why this occurs. You said there is a point in which you switch to producing things social/military, where before those planets were not producing? If you have spending at, for example: 25/20/55 = Military/Social/Research Those planets are not building things, then the 45 percent of your economy that is spent on building (mil/social) goes [B]back into your treasury[/B].

I'm a bit confused. You want, for example, the Drath to talk to the Arcean such that the Drath convince the Arcean to attack a [U]third[/U] race? Who is the "home" race, the human player? If you mean that there are no races that convince other races to fight with one another, you are mistaken. This happens quite often, you should get a pop-up from a race that says for instance "We have decided that the Drengin are not fit to live in this galaxy, or that's what we've been paid to th
