[quote who="IztokBitenc" reply="5" id="2564858"]Hi! AFAIK the Dread Lords are at war with everybody automatically and unchangeably. Back in my days when DA was new it was possible for AIs to make peace with DLs. And one player posted a (likely) game glitch: when he clicked on the announcement of peace proclamation, he actually got to talk with DLs! I was able to repeat it. I don't know if that was fixed in later releases. BR, I

This is a pretty difficult question, and without knowing about the other stats/setup/version of your game, I might propose something that could probably not viable to you. Without any real Military the only answer can be to get out of war ASAP. Built up your planets to max pop, get some good soldiering and harvest empty hulls for a final upgrade. Usually if there are stronger AI's present in a game then it is always the best to let them fight it out until their strengths is dr

How do I build a military starbase array?

Reply to several newb questions in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="GJDriessen" reply="14" id="2561851"]@Maiden, can you really get only 4 starbases per sector? I never knew this. I guess I never tried this before. [/quote] Yes, it's true. And because of this, the maximum number SB's in a Military StarBase Array (MSBA) is 24. I have tried to search for methods to circumvent this many many times, to no avail. Even if you try to gift a starbase to an AI in a sector where he already has 4 bases - the game won't allow it.

Hello Doc, yes, there is. Click on the MetaVerse-button to the left, then in the next screen hover over "Account" and select "Edit my characters". This let's you delete characters as well. Ususally this is done to get a clean character - as the MV will degrade your score with every submitted game. However, I see you've not submitted any score (yet), you can therefore also only manage them, that is, change their names/pics etc. You can do this in the same screen. Hope t

Yep, scrolling doesn't work at the planet/ship-list. Not a bug. Try using the Minimap instead, or left-click hold and move into the main view. There's probably a downloadable mod somewhere. I've seen this for the "Battle of the Gods" Szenario, so why not...

DL is exactly as you describe. DA is a bit advanced, but not much e.g. you can't open diplomacy talk all the time etc, SuperAbilities, some added Techs... TA is a world different as a game, esp. because of the different techtree/planetary improvents. Personally I find all parts good, while playing Yor in TA is my fave. I'd give it a try. Nevertheless, glitches/bugs -whatever you want call it- are there in all three versions (in TA even new ones!) and once yo

One of the tricks to win a suicidal warfight. Actually people are complaining about the AI's advantage of knowing where all the resources are, but actually, this advantage becomes the players advantage when you use tricks like this. Let the AI find all the resources, but in the end you be harvesting them! You can even refine that trick by surrounding that single Fighter with other ships, and leaving only one entrance open which would be blocked by that base. The Fighter then h
