Drath aren't even in the game. I traded for some of my would-be target's cheapo techs so that when I started taking his planets, I'd get the good stuff, only now he sends me away when I try talk to him, saying he's "too busy", so I can't do the declare war treaty.

Reply to Auto Design bug? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You know how, as you use larger and larger hulls, the components take up slightly more space? Autodesigned ships aren't affected by that. All their components take up as much space as they would on a self-designed tiny ship.

Don't skip the DL campaign because of the changes, skip it because it's bad. If DL rules were still current, I'd still recommend avoiding that campaign. Adjusting to TA after spending some time on the DA campaign isn't hard.

If you NOTICE a planet's population going apeshit, it's easy to take care of. If you're using a bunch of unboosted farms, replace a few with cash buildings. When a farm disappears, the people it was supporting die immediately. If you're using a farm on a food bonus tile, replace some other building with a normal farm, THEN replace the food bonus farm with a different building. Or, just use transports or colony ships. You need some production for both though. T

Reply to What would you do with a class 26 planet? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

What those buildings do is shove more money into the pockets of your citizens. With your tax rate, you then skim a certain amount of that extra money off the top for your own greedy little self. I'd cram that planet with labs + a tech capital + a coordination center. It's crazy to even have the option of building an economic capital on such a world. If you're not building your economic capital on your homeworld early, you're doing it wrong.

[quote]if you thought population magically appeared on the ship without impacting the homeworld you are a giant moron.[/quote] Protip: Just because a mechanic makes sense doesn't mean it'll obviously be in a game. I mean, these colonizers can fit what, a hundred million people on them? The realism boat sailed. There's nothing moronic about expecting other leaps of unrealism like not affecting the home planet.

Freighter trade's still screwed up in ToA 1.95. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Those negative numbers in the domestic stats window are still there, and routes still don't grow over time. I guess this is just one of those bugs that people haven't been loud enough about?

In the new patch, inflation is still in but toned way down. It's something like 1/4th of what it was before.

fjihjfvyujr6yujtujm 4 pages of arguing about a troll and the tech inflation. I have TA but am still playing DA due to a problem with the tech tree keeping me away from TA... and it's not the inflation. It's because of the new unique techs not properly functioning as prerequisites. Again: [link]https://forums.galciv2.com/311560[/link] Inflation does the same thing to everyone. These prereq related bugs totally screw up the race balance. Worry
