Planetary Scanning in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Reading through the journals, I came across BoogieBac's best of best for the week. One thing that was mentioned was the different scanning techs that would be available. Now while there was a scanning tech available in GC1, Ican't think of any game where I acutally used it, especially since the AI knew where all the Class 15+ worlds existed. Based on what I read on the journal, there will actually be various degrees of planets. I see planets

Reply to Average Game Level.. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

That's actually a good point though. For someone who has finally made thier way up to maso difficulty, they shouldn't be penalized for taking that long because they did make it. Maybe they should make it the average of the last 20, 30, 50 games or so.

Hey Newfy, out of curiosity, why would you do a partial spending ratio? I am FAR from the best at this game (far, far, far...) but let's take an example. You have two projects, social/military. Let's say the Social project gives you 25% to manufacturing. By not moving ahead 100% with the manu upgrade, you lose out on the % you would have gained by going 100%.

One of the biggest problems I had was scrambling around the tech tree. I basically got to a point where I had to go back and re-create the tech tree. This might help you out: http://www.kingwoodcable.com/brackard/games/galcivtech.xls

I really like Dancer's idea. A difficulty regarding exactly WHAT the computer will do, and a difficulty regarding how much "cheat" the computer gets. I may not be able the best strategist, but I'd love to see the comp try some of the better moves without having the +x% production that goes along with the increased production.

I'll see what I can do with it next turn. (just to see how much it costs) However, we are in a position where the diplo translator may not necessarily mean all that much if you know what I mean. I'm sure it will be nice bonus, and I'm sure we will end up getting it as part of a peace negotiations in there somewhere. :)
