Reply to Why I chose Elemental over Civ 5 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="343" id="2790412"] Quoting solidsmooky, reply 342You guys are completely brainwashed. Civfanatics is like the No More Mutants of Civ forums where they have insane and aspergers people sperg out about the craziest thing. Civ 5 is a better game in every way and I think Stardock realizes this since they're pulling inspiration from the game. To say otherwise is being just as bad as the psycho civfanatics people. Solid, I'm really getting kind of tired o

Reply to This game still surprises me. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had a game once, where the two super powers were myself, and the Iconians. We had excellent relations and I was supplying them huge ships for their wars against other races... Suddenly I get a message that there was a coup of sorts and a new ruler was in charge of the Iconians. One that hated me. Suddenly I was up against all of those huge ships I had been supplying to them all along.

[quote who="Noctilucus" reply="3" id="2761989"] 3) Which picks do you choose? In your first games, it's probably best to spend a maximum of points on economy. 4) Which political party do you choose? Here again, federalists will make it easier to keep your economy in the green. As soon as you research more advanced government types, your economy will improve.

Unfortunately, the AI knows where all the good stuff is right off the bat without exploring, which I don't like. They usually head right for it, so you do have to hussle at first to colonize. Usually your economy WILL go down as you colonize, but should slowly go back up as the populations of the planets increase and you get tax money. I usually explore the stars in the direction of my closest neighbors first, because I assume they will send their col

Reply to Is a rebellion still possible? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="qrtxian" reply="2" id="2761289"]Hmm. I've heard of a mega event like that (plus the normal Fundamentalists event, which only hits the evil players), but what I'm thinking of is a non-random rebellion based off of low approval, as the descriptions for advanced governments and the manual hint is possible. The main reason this has come up is that in my current game, the Krynn have the angriest planets I've ever seen in 40-something games. Except where they've built morale

Reply to Ultimate Edition Retail Box come with Physical Manual? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="feelotraveller" reply="5" id="2759861"] Quoting charon2112, reply 4 yup, my retail manual has page numbers. All totaled it's 96 pages. Did you buy Ultimate Edition? or another Edition...? I bought the Ultimate Edition retail. Just counted the unnumbered pages and there's 52 (plus cover) in mine.[/quote] I double checked mine and it definitely has numbers...and, including a blank page at the back,

Reply to Why I chose Elemental over Civ 5 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

all valid points and I respect your opinion. Luckily I can get both. I do think that Civ V brings more changes--and welcome ones--over previous versions. It's not a minor update at all. I'd get it just for the updated graphics and hexes... [quote quoting="post"] Money has been tight lately, as most of you can probably understand in our current economic climate. Having always been a TBS fan, I had to make a decision as to which game I

Reply to How is it possibile to beat them o_O in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="XMorlocX" reply="4" id="2754927"]Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.[/quote] What...is it behind the rabbit?
