The I-League are using the same symbol as the Torians? Odd.

Given that you're still losing money, I question whether dialing back production was a smart idea, particularly when it slows down the research of an economy tech. Looks like the Arceans are once again the last race to show themselves. Edit: Never mind, didn't see the last post.

[quote who="Klaatoo" reply="18" id="3108025"]So with the sector limit on starbases, even one starbase built by another faction, ally or neutral, costs me money![/quote] I'm fairly certain this is incorrect. The limit is a flat limit, not an extra fee, and it only applies to your starbases in the first place.

Reply to Dreadlors campaign in UE after update to 2.03 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I still don't understand why allies building starbases in your space is supposed to be a bad thing. Yes, it's fairly useless for them , but it does you absolutely no harm.

Reply to Major Races and other questions (New Modder) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

You can never have more then 10 major and 8 minor races in any given game, but as far as I know, there isn't really a limit on how many you can have as options.

Reply to Are some computer races randomly chosen to die off quickly? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

It is worth noting that which races tend to do better or worse seems to depend at least somewhat on which races you play as. In almost a dozen games as the Terrans, both with and without tech tree fixes, I've never encountered strong Drath, yet in my very first game as the TA Drengin they crushed me overwhelmingly.

I would have fought it out a little longer, but I can understand why you'd want to try the new version of the mod. Should be interesting to see how things go this time around...

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="89" id="3105893"]Well actually, the last game I played, the Drengin did become really powerful, but I beat them with science. And Terror Stars. Since that game I fixed the ridiculously early access to the psyonic beam in the Drengin tech tree and balanced the weapons a bit more evenly. However, the Drengin are always going to be in a good military position during the early game. With default War party political party and natural abilities, as well as the Terran

You know, not that this isn't an interesting AAR, but if I was considering trying your mod, this would not push me towards doing it. Why are the Drengin so insanely overpowered? Every game you've reported on so far, they've steamrollered the galaxy. You mentioned earlier that the Arcean tech tree is not finished - is that true for most of the races, or what?

As a bit of an update, I can now say that I'm definitely going to (at some point) make a full-fledged AAR of that Torian game I mentioned even if it kills me - which at 15 years and counting, it just might. So far, we've had: Allies becoming enemies and vice-versa Invading Dread Lords - that actually posed a threat!

Wow, that's a lot of Drengin. From the looks of the military chart at the bottom, you've actually got the third-largest military. Any hope of bringing in the Yor? The Arceans look to have gotten pasted. Sigh.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="7" id="3105468"] Quoting qrtxian, reply 6How does this actually hurt you, though? It's more of an annoyance really, but their starbases prevent me sometimes from using the optimal placement for my own starbases. The other things is, why does my ally build military starbases around my planets? They can't help me, because they have no effect on my ships. And my ally won't send any of his own to protect my planets. It's such a waste of time

Do the Drengin have invasion technology yet? If so, the Altarians and Torians (and by extension everyone else) could be in a lot of trouble.

Reply to Docile Peacekeepers? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Unfortunately, it matches my own experience - since the Peacekeepers will always show up with technology that's ahead of the game leader, if you get them late enough in the game they get tech that makes the Dread Lords look like cavemen. I was already going for a tech victory the time I saw this happen, so it didn't hurt much, but there would have be no way to ever fight the PKs.
