"Well, considering the amount of player imput that gets put into these updates, I say: BRING 'EM ON!!!!!!" STOP UPDATES, is indeed one of the most weird requests buyers/players can ask the devs. Luckily Brad CS (or Brad & Co as you Americans say) are now totally convinced 99,98 % of the buyers are not only completely satisfied with the game but admit as well they have never ever seen such devotian in after sales/support. Even in the latest reviews (for whatever a review is worth) it see

"Well, anything that gets the Dregin off the warpath, even temporarily(sp?), must be good to some degree. Is it just me, or are the Dregin the most warlike? You'd think from the race descriptions that it would be the Vor. After all, they hate all life! (Which is even wierder, as they almost invariably become allied with me at some point!)" Depends on how you set the races, pure evil -->> pure good. Drengin are set standard to pure evil. But of course, like almost everything in this fant
"My problem is that the last 5 games I've played the Drengin owned everyone. This is on bright AI setting" Last 5 games? Forgot to submit them to the metaverse? Or just lost them? Drengin are not the major power on higher AI levels in my experience.
"Freya - I understand and agree with you, in theory. But sitting and looking at my computer screen while corvette after corvette uselessly suicides against a single ship doesn't fit my definition of fun. If they all attacked simutaneously then I would have absolutely no problem at all. My problem isn't the event per se, but rather the lost time involved. I don't always have alot of free time to play GalCiv. When I do get to play, I want to PLAY, not spend that time watching my screen. Going and
"Cool to meet you here also". You guys know each other? Why don't you invite him to join the European Empire? ;) Doesn't matter where you live, is it? :CONGRAT:
"Obviously, they find so many because of the general tech level at that point in the game. I've found that closer to the beginning of a game far fewer corvettes are found. I think the best fix for this would be to somehow prohibit this event after a certain general tech level is reached." It is just an "Event". Could be bad or just something that happens. Part of the game, accept it like that ;)
LordTheRon, (off topic) enjoy your birthday ;)
""There are no Terran avatars outside our homeworld. Well, maybe one or two, but they took one look at our defenses and spontaneously exploded" ;) :) :D LOL :CONGRAT:
LordTheRon, congrats, mate, and thanks for your great input in several threads :CONGRAT:
The Metaverse is NOT important, ENJOYING the game IS! ;)
You guys seem to understand what it means to play a strategy game :CONGRAT:
"If you're playing the metaverse then you're not playing GalCiv. I play GalCiv. I don't care what my metaverse score is. ". :D LOL :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:
Brad will not tell you. I tried it once, myself, but the only answer I got they were # 4 on Amazon :)
"Each AI's strategies work out better depending on the player they're up against. I personally find the Yor and Arceans to be my main challenge". Words of "the man himself". Drengin are Pure Evil, so they attack! But build some proper defense, and they are not so bad ;)
"One thing you can say is that you need a different strategy for each version which is cool." That's what this game is about! :)
Let's stop this Thread ;)
"btw, if i build a colony ship and send it out to a distant corner of the galaxy will the game end if the ai doesn't find it?" Why should it?
Nice try, where do you live?
So far it seems 2/3 YES, 1/3 NO. Interesting, specially if you look at the "behind the scenes consequences". ;)
moodgiesanta, don't worry. We all are still learning alot about the game, the depth of play and the like. Including the info about the game and possible strategies. But believe me, there is nothing better than just playing the game and trying your own strategies. I mean, that IS what this game was made for. :)
Vorlin Varelse, but you still have countless ways to play Galciv the way you like it :)
solops of the yarba, post your problem in the Bug Thread, if not yet answered. The Devs are doing an incredible job in finding out and fixing problems. :) But they can't look at every thread posted by one of us. ;)
These messages are really benificial, I got a message the Drengin were slowly being exterminated by another race. I send a couple of Dreadnoughts there, and some battle transports. When the other race destroyed the defences of the Drengin home planets, I invaded them. Victory! LOL
Popup Target, yes, they are. Try it when you come home. I know, sometimes it's difficult to NOT take half a day off after the next Galciv update. This time I was lucky, we here in The Netherlands are 6 hours later than you ;)
