1. This is either if you want a simple planetary adjustment, for example, you play 1/49/50, and you have your CivCap already built out and set to produce one Hull per turn, and it lacks some MP to do so, set focus to it, so you reach what you want and don't have to adjust your whole empire. It becomes globally important if your either playing on of the all-X strategies (only building either labs or facs) and use focus to get production in an area where you've not built any structures

Reply to Iconians weak? I don't think so... in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="qrtxian" reply="6" id="2602163"]Actually, the Iconians do NOT have ten points to spend. They have eight. I think this was intended to be balanced by the fact that they started with more technologies then any other race, but it seems to have made them weaker (or so I thought). The Iconians are actually one of the only DL civilizations that can't be re-created by a custom race, with the Drath and Yor (as you said) and possibly one more being the others. There's also a

Reply to Iconians weak? I don't think so... in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

In DL I see no reason to distinguish the Iconians from a simply "custom race" setup, they have ten points to spend, and do it on racial stuff that could be re-created by any race in exactly the same fashion. But this could be said from most races. However, there are some exceptions, esp. the Yor's 25% Miniaturizationbonus, or generally the Drath's bonuses, which historically are considered the strongest DL race, and whose amount of bonuses will exceed the points each race has to spend by far.

Reply to I'm new, and i have a few questions. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

In the UE the launcher will only execute TA, thus, you need to launch DL via the executable, same for DA. You can actually play all 3 campaigns from TA, but the it will change the ones for DL/DA, so best would be to start the campaigns from the version they belong to. Personally I find the TA campaign interesting, because you're going to have Arnor-ships (that you can keep and therefore amount from game to game) with which you can blast the Dread

Reply to Several newbie questions: in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

1. Luck sets up your minimum roll in a battle. You attack with 8 lasers, and have 25% luck, then the roll is between 2-8. Thus, in a warfight, luck can be pretty important. Creativity adds a small amount of rp to your actual research. Sorry, no numbers. 2. Galactopedia. But you need to choose the TA installations-folder, otherwise it will display DL. 4. You got it right, the bonus-tiles only multiply a base-production. Wonders/Trade Goods/ Supers don't work on these, with one

Reply to Technology costs inexplicably increasing in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You might want to search for "Tech Inflation". There must be quite alot of posts about this, as (in TA) it has been drastically increased and lots of people are actually complaining. In short, techs get more expensive as you research them, esp. weapon (red) techs are heavy hit by it.

You need to send another Constructor to that base, upon reach a popup will let you add one module. What modules you can add depends on the techs you have already researched, some "yellow" techs enable you new influence-increasing modules on Influencer Starbases. Factory techs unlock planetary enhancing modules on EconStarbases, as well as Freighter-income can be increased. On Military Starbases you can add ship-support modules, such as increased speed or attack/defense. This i

Reply to Pop growth + useless buildings in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You can easily step into any governmental form and still reside with a high pop and generally unhappy population. The day elections happens simply drop taxes until an approval rate of, at least, 57% is reached, and you'll win the election. Afterwards shift to maximum taxes back. And if one forgets to lower taxes, simply load the autosave, you'll get another chance just then. The civ-wide economic bonuses are not to underestimate, esp. when playing a larger map. 30% is almost a full&nb

Reply to Galciv ultimate edition playing as dread lord race in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Judging from all versions of the game I possess - no, and the DL's don't have different techs as is in the techtree. Just that they don't have to research them - they start out with them from turn 1 on. However, what you can do is useing their shipstyles, you would need to change a small entry in an xml-file of the installations-folder; but they lack some hulls, thus, the game won't propose you with most stock-designs, as well as the differentiation between them is harder, so gen

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="8" id="2587119"] Have you ever read a dev admit to this? I've seen the idea debated often around here, with some plausible arguments that players just miss the AI scouts and assume they had no fog-of-war because the first ship(s) they see are colonizers heading for a viable world. Sometimes, it seems to me like this is the one exception to no-AI-cheating until you go above Tough. But I've also seen plenty of scouting work by AIs, which would seem
