GalCiv2 Forums[quote] "-- they don't trust us" or "- your historic animosity";[/quote] I presume "-- you are trying to ascend" is also a disqualifier? (Does DA even have Ascension?)

Yes, that one does display. Thanks! BTW, your starting world pic in the ZYV Diplo thread also has "errors".

I've been fooling around with permutations of this strategy in TotA, and as noted IT DOESN'T WORK for several reasons. First, no AI will make a treaty withing the first 2.2 years. Not necessarily a killer but it denies an important source of money. Second, the Save/Restart action will not reset the AI's refusal to talk after a deal. So you can bankrupt and declare war, but then you can't offer a peace treaty until he's had time to bu

Last F1 race I worked was 1984 Dallas. That was the one where Mansell tried to tow his car over the finish line and darn near made it. Enjoy your participation! I hope they put a few of these on broadcast TV this year...

Finished July 2231. 148K points, which I gather is pretty good for a three race game. I still can't believe that a minor attacked you. It would be interesting to know what the odds of that are. I've never seen it.

I don't have a good (or any) explanation, but I agree that with UE/TA 2.04 all the aliens went for Beams. With 2.2n that is no longer the case. (Thank the ghods of GC.) As for your other, poorly described, issue, I don't see any difference.

So if I had the same point output, but olny 3 Research tiles, I would have been limited to three techs? Can you spell "obscure rules"? Sheesh!

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="4" id="3623080"] we're already going to be limited on what we can do because of the "only 4-techs per turn"-limitation. [/quote] This bit I don't get at all. AFAICT you're limited by the points you can produce. For example, I'm relatively late in my game, with lots of research points per turn. I switched over to the Shield branch for the heck of it (no opponents are using Beams) and completed seven (7) t

[quote who="Orbital 2000" reply="16" id="3623070"] and if the enemy uses lazer wepons??? will my zero point armor be useless?? [/quote] No. Defenses that aren't directly opposed to the weapon (e.g. shields to beams) apply at 1/3 strength. So a ship with 12 armor factors would defend against lasers the same as a ship with 3 shield factors. Not great but better than nothing.

Fascinating! Thanks. I was playing around with the setup and specified Saturn. I got a Saturn with an 800% Production tile, colonized Earth and it had a 800% Research tile! Maybe Mars has both! (Years ago I generated an Earth with both of those tiles, but somehow managed not to save the game setup. Arrgh!) I haven't read the Gameplay section yet, but I'll definitely get to it. So much still to learn.

That should be interesting, though I'm more interested in customizing races than in ZYW.

Geez, what density are you playing? This one I've got Immense, Tight Clusters, Common Stars, Occasional planets, Common Habitable, lots of Anomalies and Asteroids, Rare weird planets, Slow tech. Are you playing Yor as Evil? Metal or flesh, it is good to be King.

Okay, I *think* this is what a ZYW is: Start with a small universe as Kzinti Korath with Super Abilities enabled. That allows you Spore Ships as a possible tech. Now instead of doing any colonization, use your money to buy labs. Research the techs required for Spore Ships. Pump out Spore ships and use them to "conquer" (i.e. destroy) all the planets in the universe. No year will have elapsed - thus

Orbital2000, can you take this to a new thread and stop posting in every GCII thread? You've asked some interesting questions that I would like to know the answers to, but this is not the right place.

Well, yeah, I think. If you look at the Templates you will see what the game considers to be the base designs. Everything beyond the base designs is produced either by the auto-designer or by you. The existence of a base design doesn't mean that it is buildable. If a design requires, e.g. Railgun II and you don't have Railgun II tech, then you can't build it. Period.

I was gonna ask about differentiating the SB modules, but you beat me to it. I gotta say, this "quicky" game as Terran vs. Drath and Altarian has turned out to be a lot of fun. I forgot that you have Terran as Neutral and Drath as Good so misjudged

[quote who="Zeta1127" reply="18" id="3621746"] I have made it through Siege to Achilles' Heel in the Dread Lords campaign. I have only played as the Terran Alliance so far, and the arbitrary requirements for the missile and railgun ships have me confused. I am very good at early game colonization, but actually fighting has me somewhat stumped, because the Battle Axe and later Dreadnaught seem to be the only things that really work, ideally upgraded. If I am lucky to get some, the Lu

[quote who="MabusAltarn" reply="1677" id="3621932"] Yep. No denying that. Raises the question though, if there's infinities in math, do they exist? Bigger question. Is math real or merely a construct we invented? Or, is it something we stumbled upon because math is how the universe works? Big question. Tricky to answer.

Maiden, I'd like to see a guide to how the game arrives at a score. I've played games where I simply kicked alien ass all over the galaxy - and scored 75,000. Tried winning quickly, tried various victories: no appreciable difference. I usually play Immense, high difficulty, at least 5 races. Never Metaverse.
