Do you have all the latest patches besides the bonus pack? ~SDC~

Reply to BIG PROBLEM!!!!!!!! NEED HELP!!!!!!! in Mods Stardock Forums

They're probably showing up as notepad files because windows has a option that will remember the program used to open a unknown filetype. They'll still work just fine. And you shouldn't have any problem modding stuff as notepad is fine I believe. ~SDC~

Reply to What do you thinks the best 1pt civ bonus...... in Strategies Stardock Forums

There seems to be luck specific events that can happen. When I was in a war with the Drengins, I was a little behind until I got a luck event saying my scientists had found a ranger class ship. Since nobody had battleships at that point, I was easily able to win the war:) ~SDC~

Reply to Scoring... in Strategies Stardock Forums

From what I've seen the larger population you have and the closer you are to each victory condition will help give you a higher score. ~SDC~

Diplomacy, star democracy, and star federation. ~SDC~

Reply to Musings upon a Terror Star in Strategies Stardock Forums

A good thing to do if you're planning on blowing up planets is give your terror star an escort fleet. Just a few extra ships with it can help you destroy one or two more stars. ~SDC~

Reply to Star Creation in Strategies Stardock Forums

Its just another step on the path to a tech victory, you won't actually be able to create any star. ~SDC~

Reply to defending against destabilization in Strategies Stardock Forums

Theres no real way you can defend against it, just lower taxes and raise propaganda if you need to keep morale up. ~SDC~

Reply to UP issues not done at random. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The only way you can declare war is by getting paid to attack a race, or moving one of your ships onto one of their ships or planets with ships in orbit. ~SDC~

Easiest way to surrender is to just give all your planets to the AI. ~SDC~

Reply to What do you thinks the best 1pt civ bonus...... in Strategies Stardock Forums

I personally like choosing +10% influence for my 1 pick with the 15% pq. But I just enjoy the thought of advanced alien life-forms eating McDonalds and listening to the latest top 40 hits.:) ~SDC~

Reply to Figured out the scoring system for Metaverse. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Not all top 25 people have to post 3000+ wins on gigantic maps only. Games do add up, so submitting many games with lower scores is still a way to get in the top 25, although playing on tiny or small maps probably isn't a way to get there. ~SDC~

Reply to UP issues not done at random. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There is no ban on when you can declare war again. If you want to, you can redeclare war right after its voted on. ~SDC~

Reply to Monster Park Event in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The only way you can not host the event is to leave the UP before the vote comes up. But be careful, leaving the UP will not allow you to trade with the major powers. ~SDC~

If you are getting 100bc for 1 months, you'll get 100 right away and 100 at the beginning of the next turn. ~SDC~

Reply to Starbase Suggestion: in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The problem with limiting starbases to the orbit of a colonized system would be range. Lets say you were playing on a gigantic map. You start out in a corner position and then colonize all the planets there. Now when you try to expand to another position that would normally be out of range of your colony ships you would have to build starbases to get there. However if you limit starbases to a planets orbit, that would effectively isolate you in that corner for the entire game unless you were

You just have to hope that you get lucky and they don't escape. As far as staging defenders goes you'll need powerful ships and they are quite powerful when escaping and have a lot of hp. ~SDC~

Reply to How to do a 'break alliance'?? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There isn't currently any way to persuade a race to break their alliances. When you're trying to convince a AI to go to war and a race doesn't show up on their list, check to see if they're allied or are already at war. ~SDC~

Reply to What are the win conditions and where are they documented? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You can win by: Military Conquest - Happens when you've conquered all 5 of the major races. Cultural Conquest - Happens when you have most of the influence in the galaxy. Tech Victory - When you've researched the final frontier at the end of the tech tree. Alliance Victory - When you're allied with all remaining Major Powers. ~SDC~

Reply to Why does the 2nd level of PQ bonus require one extra ability point? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The 15% pq is nice and I'd say it gets nicer each map size you move up. As far as it being overpowered, I think having to use 9 ability points seems reasonable. Although it would be nice to see the AI get that trait and colonize level 14 planets. As it is now 14 planets are just sitting their for colonization at my leisure. ~SDC~
