Wow! Thanks, everbody! I just played a game, and i won my first technology victory. I would have won a conquest, although i decided not to. As i drew ever closer to the end game, i had an income of nearly 4500bc. I had influence turned off becuase i would have won too quickly. I simply crushed anyone who got in my way and did as i pleased. In the beginning of the game the Altarians found some precusor artifact and the game told me they would become godlike soon but were weak now. This ce

I try to keep taxes fairly low for a good while (50 billion people or more) trying for 100% morale for a few turns, and then changing them to be just above 75%. I'll try out your other thoughts right now.

Near the end game, at 49% taxes, i had a 67-70% morale, with something like a 5

Anyways, i got the Gold Edition of this game a week or two ago, and liked it so much i decided to get Twilight. I mainly play on normal, once or twice I've done Challenging but both times lost. I can't accomplish anything other than a Cultural or an Alliance victory. Cultural victories are hard for me, still. I play on a Huge galaxy map with everything abundant and rese

Early Game Military (Possibly Mid-Game) in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I've been playing this game for a while, and It's the most fun I've had with an RTS since Supreme Commander or Sid Miers Civ IV. There is one thing that annoys me though. I just dont seem able to build a completely competent military. I research the beam technologies, my sliders are set at 40, 20, 40 (When your industrial spening is withint the 85%-100% mark, social production is as good as if it were a 40%). My economy is in deficiet spending for a while, until a get a c
