Reply to Why is the AI so stupid? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]In general, I've noticed that the AI always goes straight for the newest "whatever". When starting a new colony in mid-game that's suicidal. It might take 100 turns to go straight to an industrial complex but only a half dozen to build a traditional factory that will be helpful in upgrading that same tile.[/quote] So true. You can easily use that to their demise. At one time of the game, somewhere shortly after the Colony Rush, or even amidst, pass them those 3 Terraforming-tec

Here's a list of the true racial stats of the StockRaces in DreadLords. Some of these can accidentally be overwritten and then will be lost - only to be recovered after clearing the setup again. The following 9 stats show what's left of the races once the customization points have been refilled to 10: Torian: Morale: +25% Luck: +10% Courage: +20% Logistics: 6 <span sty

Neither do I equate these two things. But does this then also mean that changing a StockRaces homesystem or SuperAbility isn't approved by Stardock either? Because those two things can't be done from within the game either. And this is not about putting blame on anyone. I am only trying to defend myself. As well as I want to know what particular features are approved by Stardock and which not. Because, after all, I'm still going to participate in t

I just re-read page 1. If taking advantages of a bug is considered an invalid exploit then I wonder why the MCC didn't got fixed in DL/DA? The player or AI's are supposed to built it, but not in a MV-games, only sandbox? Okay, TA fixed it but introduced the Influence-pts bug - which can be used to scoop up all the AI's off their last trousers... In fact, a closer look at the game mechanix will reveal countless bugs... some which are well known and became standardized (see abov

I will of course respect Kryo's (in representation of SD) and KP's wishes, as well as any other wishes that are reached by communities/empires etc where I belong to or have characters put into. However, I find it hard to trust *you*, in fact, I'd be a fool to believe you have any good intents about me or my games. It's absurd to trust somebody that constantly instrumentalize lies & deceit, doesn't feel sorry about spying or putting the names of count

That's the true spirit I like so much. I'll join you along the way. Still have an un-used serial from the UE around. But first, let me see if I'll manage the 3mil on my own. Considering the pace at which you play, I need to hasten up. Good luck & see you then.

As many of you folks here know, I gain most of my games score from a strategy that I call "Negative Balance".

The following is the PM-correspondence with GmOOnii - out of which the DL ARC arose.

So.... I've returned from the burial of my GrandMa and find my name/games dragged through the toilet multiple times. And I thought we did actually settle that for good - but apparently not. It seems, this is just an extension of the ZYW thread. Well, fine with me, although this will mean that we need to debate a lot of issues here.... Let's first address the OP. I still find it pretty hard to believe that Mumblefratz simply was able to walk so easily right into our protected forums. A
