Reply to Ok I have moo3, and Ive been in the beta for Galciv! MY THOUGHTS in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The one thing that does sound dumb in GalCiv, is unless you're trading with other races, you could go broke ---------------------- that is not true at all. to be perfectly honest I usualy go for an evil race, find a smaller race who i can crush easily, fight them for a bit and conquer the systems i want and know i can defend, then offer them a peace treaty where they pay me reperations for x amount of months, usually 60 or 120 depending on how wealthy they are, milk the cow but

Reply to Triple research event not working, and general comment on bonuses. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well there seems to be a bug in that you get "x%" bonus that it doesnt change the time it says it will take, but for me it usually makes things go faster such as: it says it'll take 15months to complete but is completed in 5 months.

Reply to War and Peace. Comments welcomed. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

about wars, tbh in my experience the war party sucks, well for me it does. im a fairly militaristic style player who's usually evilbut I normally go for either economic bonus or population/moral. the reason for this is that they have a more profound impact on the race as a whole rather than just double the hit points which can be researched by a more wealthy race easily. + a federalist who's getting 20% more in economics can build ships faster and more of them along wi

it would be nice if there was a tech that could enable us to form an artificial stable wormhole. but you could like add variables so that 1 out of 20 will allow an alien race to enter the galaxy etc and things like that. so it could benefit you but could also unleash a race so powerful that it would take all the races to defeat it, or it could let out a race who are so culturally superior that large amounts of your planets defect. if thought over properly could be a very nice a

ive had the AI try to extort me. because they were bigger than me at the time they tried to get me to give them all my tech + 400BC i refused ofc, they declared war shortly after now thats the sort of thing i like to see :-) adds spice to the game

Reply to Borders, to be or not to be? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

thats the whole idea lucky jack. it gives more political diversity, it'll create border wars. it could perhaps have some good things in the UP such as settling disputes over who should control x,y territory

Reply to Borders, to be or not to be? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

it would make sensor drones useful and allow more political plays. i.e you could start a war because X planet joined your civ but it is in Y's territory thus it is a valid excuse to annex the territory. besides i still dont think its likely any race would allow you to send in a fleet of warships deep into there territory without them being very annoyed and trying to stop them. i.e currently i have no use for sensor drones and only keep ships on my planets during peacet

Reply to wish lists :-) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

that sounds like a pretty cool idea, it would work well i think, similar rules would have to be in place for nuclear technology as well

Reply to wish lists :-) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Bio weapons would have to be banned within the UP, ie you have to leave the UP before you can use them

wish lists :-) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

for people to say what they would like to see in the game at some time be it release or 1.x for me it would have to be: 1)being able to steal enemy ships and use them to frame other empires and start wars. 2)being able to raid trade routes for cash if you arent part of the UP. 3)official borders and demiliterized zones enforces by treaties and the UP. 4)joint research projects between allies. 5)a peace keeping force which UP members can donat

it'd be nice if we can get a flash site made by javascout and some gfx peeps so it looks nice and is easy to update then perhaps SD might want to officially endorse it?

Reply to Beta 4 status report in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well I dont mind waiting for as long as it'll take within reason, as for being able to contact the AI, tbh I dont see that as a big must as it isnt that important and would probably be abused and thus make the game less fun, although i would like to see some sort of treaty to set up official borders and DMZ's where no military ships can pass etc, you'd need to set up sensor nets to keep an eye out but it'd add more depth to the game. also: it would be nice if we could say steal a sh

Reply to Diplomacy Suggestion in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

or make it so they cant surrender to B unless they are at war with B, but maybe make a treaty which allows races to join a civilisation such as a race applying for membership etc rather than surrendering which is rather dull in the gaming side.

Reply to getting sci fi ideas in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

you forgot to mention Zero Point Energy :-) which is supposedly the most efficient form of energy in the universe and that theres enough ZPE in a shot glass to turn the worlds oceans to steam, would be interresting as a later energy tech tho, or perhaps as something you can only find from artifacts from the ancient race that dissapeared

Reply to A few suggestions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

you mean like having the 6 "major" races and then another voice which speaks for all the minor races? such as the league of non alligned worlds?(from b5) it would make it interresting but it would have to be well balanced or its voice would be too powerful, like only getting 1/3 of the influence it would get if it was a major race or: x amount of the races vote option A (e.g 60%) and x amount of the races vote option D (e.g 40%) and the only amount of influence po

Also it would be nice when your beating an enemy empire if it tries to make peace rather than just surrendering to another race which is very annoying, also it would be interresting if the winning party in a war if the winners could enforce the defeated side to pay reperations for the war. so say an alliance or Terrans and Arcaens defeat the Drengin in a very bloody war for both sides but eventually the Terran-Arcaen alliance defeats the Drengin that they can impose limits on t

Reply to Classic vs. Good in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

also it would be nice to be able to do more specialised sabotage than just destablisation, such as assasination and theft of one of there most prized starships etc. also perhaps random events such as: "we have discovered ancient blueprints from one of the 1st races to acheive space travel it is possible for us to reconstruct this vessel which could give us as edge against our competitors, but it will cost an estimated 20billion credits per month for 10 years to reverse engineer
