Reply to 1.2: AI still useless in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="10" id="3580069"] What I am pointing out is that the AI actually did a pretty good job frm an AI point of view. First, it designed ships as best it could to counter your weapon strength. Note his defenses were optimized to counter your weapon type. Second, he assembled a pretty good sized fleet. without seeing your game, it's hard to say exactly what caused it to fall behind the arm's race. But your post describes the AI as

Anyone Else for Multiplayer? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Anyone? Naselus? Someone else? The AI's still pretty hopeless so looking for a challenge.

Yes. I have other ideas up my sleeves. Hell, I'll challenge both you AND Echillion and beat both of you (while you two work together).

Sounds promising. How many planets can the AI get by turn 30 on Insane?

Jan, up for a multiplayer game at some point?

Reply to No direction in playing in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

In all of the games we've played, there's a destined hero to save the world (or the universe). But what if the hero dies? What happens then? I would like to play a game that explores the consequences of that. You start the game as a hero, but somewhere in the middle of the game the hero dies (killed by random Bandit Marauder in Skyrim for example, or Normandy gets hit by an errant missile and explodes with everyone on it). Then you have to p

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="144" id="3579442"] Someone wrote that crazy Sith nonsense in a book I got from the library once, every page had a note about some psychopathic phrase and thr preface had the sith code. Guess the art of war was a book every aspiring sith needs to get. I would so slap the shut out of the person that did that. Lol [/quote] Well, yeah, I think it's sort of silly too. Personally I like the Reapers more. That whole doctrine of sneak at

[quote who="janhardo" reply="139" id="3579359"] Honestly spoken.. i don't care if marigoldran uses CAPS here on this forum ..it is not that important here on this forum..it is blown up the importance here. Have fun with playing is the keypoint ofcourse I played a huge map with random planets and got 18 planets in 30 turns ..not bad..the moment that i got a incoming unreadable message from a race ..and later on i saw a ship..then it is time to start with the cons

[quote who="Echillion" reply="52" id="3579358"] sorry about that last disconnection. [/quote] No problems. I needed to sleep anyways. If you want to continue we can, but I think I've demonstrated pretty convincingly the best strategy for two-player games with 50+ planets with which to colonize.

Reply to No direction in playing in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm an excellent chess teacher. My philosophy is to beat them repeatedly until either 1. They become strong or... 2. They give up in despair and learn that they lack the talent to play chess, thereby saving them a lot of time for other activities. It's great. Lecturing, for the most part, is pointless. The key is to BEAT THEM REPEATEDLY AT CHESS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WITHOUT MERCY OR KINDNESS and then laugh (secretly) at th

Take a look at my civilization and if you think you can still beat it, let me know. Bad start so only managed 17 colonies by turn 27. Didn't play that optimally either. With a better start I could have done much better. About to get the rest of the planets on the map (may have overbuilt colony ships though). Going for Malevolence level 5 (free big ship on each planet). With 30-40 colonies, this means 30-40 free extra ships that I was going to ball up i
