1.03A.057 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Released. It seems we almost can't just send in suggestions or SDC responds to us! :CONGRAT: 1.03A.57: May 1 General idea: A few tweaks to take into consideration the AI changes and we really want the Battle Hammer to be used. + AI smarter about trading planets + AI cares about trade more when evaluating relations (i.e. you want to keep out of war, trade with them). + Battle Hammer tougher, more expensive + Defender has 25 hitpoints, costs 55.

Reply to Irritating updates, poor support in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"Dial-up over my phone is a lot cheaper - $17/month". Might be, but it is a fact that heavy users (lots of DL etc) finally pay much less with an (A)DSL connection, since they don't have to pay the normal telephone per second ticks. I have my own company and when I still was hooked up on ISDN I paid 5X (yes, really true!) more per month than I do now. It is sad, however, that (A)DSL or Cable connections are not available everywhere. I live in The Netherlands, and here 99,5% of us can get either (

Reply to HELP - How Do I Play The Game? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Morale at 100% itself is of no specific use, you just have to avoid that it drops below a certain point unless you want your planets to riot or join another empire. Keeping it above 50% should do the work. There is no guide that will show you how to win the game. Fortunately not, because then you would be bored after playing only 1 game. Strategy means: finding ways to beat the AI in the game. Like playing chess against a computer. There are soo many ways to can win, there are soo many ways that

Reply to European Empire Update in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Impune, we leave the decision about who's to become a senator or not to you. But now we have some countries with two senators. That's OK with me, just nice to have a title, ain't it? :) But since we ARE the European Alliance and we ARE democratic, if you follow this policy, THAN EVERYBODY WITH A SCORE should be a senator. LordTheRon for instance, good guy with a lot of input in the forums. He has the same problem as we: too little time to play, and therefore a low metaverse score. ;) It IS dif

" L'union fait la Force" means something like: " the force is already with us, as a matter of fact we invented the force, so if others want to be able to compete with us in the future, give them the force" :D

Reply to European Empire Update in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"I am back to EU2 and HOI and won't play galciv for a while (a bit bored). But I'll be back with the expansion pack". Everybody needs a break from time to time, we all play this game so fanatically that it is un-avoidable at a certain stage we get "bored". Anyway, there is a new update with some nice tweaks to make the game more interesting again, so take a look at it. ;)

Less than 15 indeed for strategical reasons, although sometimes an event happens when you colonize it and you can improve the Planet Quality (if you want to be evil, that is) ;) > I still colonize 13/14 quality from time to time, if it could be worthwhile to be able to extend the available sectors around you, i.e. if you can't reach sectors with an interesting amount of stars in it due to range limitations with your current tech level.

Reply to Advice to newer players in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Since this is a strategy game you can follow different paths to victory. A cultural victory needs a completely different approach than an alliance victory, or a military victory. Part of the fun is to find out how YOU can beat the game. Helpful hints are OK, but finally it's up to you to find the right way for you to beat the AI. ;) ~SDC~

Reply to What's with SD transfer rates? (rant) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"I don't expect an answer here; I'm just venting. Just like my post bemoaning the fact that I can't join an empire and the email I sent regarding this, I expect this to be completely ignored." If you say such things it probably would. Have you registered your alias and email address in the metaverse? That is the firsr step to be able to join an empire. Perhaps first re-register, that works sometimes. ;)

Reply to Release date in europe? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Negotiations are still in progress, it will take some time before it will be generally available in shops in Europe, in general. Try to push your local software shop to import it directly, I suggested that in Amsterdam, and probably theu will.

Reply to Metaverse not working at all for me! Just a CTD! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It seems some have problems with submission (from scratch or in a later stage), and for others (like me) it always works fine. It could have to do with many things, like latest SDC version, proper alias and email registration, game versions, firewalls and so on. So contact SDC or even send in your saved games, to let them find out if somenthing weird is going on. I am also willing to test submitting your saved games from my system, just to see if it works than (devs, I'm not sure if this is allo

Reply to MOO 3 slips to < 2 stars at amazon in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"Now let us never speak of it again.". At least, NOT HERE. Let's enjoy Galciv. I bought MOO3 (as a matter of fact, Brad also plays many Strategic games himself, we can see that in his response in several threads, including MOO2/3), was disappointed like many, but that is a fact of life. Now that we have Galciv it soesn't matter to me, things to be said about MOO3 belong in the MOO3 forums, not here.
