Reply to Does GalCiv scale? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Oh if you mean by scaling the amount of planets you control then it does, there will be many more planets for you to control on gigantic compared to say medium. ~SDC~

Reply to Heh heh in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just random bad luck. You just have to hope that you have enough influence to make sure it doesn't pass or that another race likes you enough to vote no on it. ~SDC~

Reply to How Do You Ally With Friendly Powers in GalCiv? in Strategies Stardock Forums

It means that you have really good relations with them, enough that they would be willing to commint in an alliance with you. ~SDC~

Reply to Can you have identical trade routes? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well you also have to consider that on tiny maps there may not be enough planets for you to trade with if you have a limit of one route per planet. Going to war with just one empire could cripple your economy. ~SDC~

Reply to Enemy planets defect? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

And the lower their morale the higher chance they have of defecting. ~SDC~

Reply to Does GalCiv scale? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The amount of planets you have to manage also depends on the planet abudancy you select. If you don't feel like having as many planets to worry about you can always set their frequency to rare. As far as playing on large+ I like to play those regulary. The amount of time that you can sink into them depends on the planet frequency and how much you're willing to micromanage everything. ~SDC~

Reply to What are leases? (And a couple other related questions.) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Leases are when you rush build an item and pay monthly interest on it. When you sell things to other races for a monthly payment that is called tribute and will show up in your economic information. As far as the amount of payment you can get a item it'll depend on your relations with them and how your alignment compares to theirs. And I believe distance may also be a factor in selling units. ~SDC~

Reply to Moral delimnas...what's the point? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You'll get evil specific techs and good races will tend to dislike you severly. ~SDC~

Reply to establishing a trade route ? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just right click on the planet you want to trade with when you have the freighter selected. ~SDC~

Reply to Planet growth in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You can set the propaganda to 100% in the details bar to help keep morale up and the population growing. ~SDC~

Reply to Metaverse Scores in Strategies Stardock Forums

I've noticed that also, the last game I won my population wasn't that great as I had a culture victory before I could absorb any AI planets and get the extra population growth. ~SDC~

Reply to Fundamentalists Wipe Out Major Races in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I like the strategy of destablizing the more powerful AI races and hoping that their planets defect. Nothing like losing a war to the Drengins and then having half their worlds defect to the fundamentalist. ~SDC~

Reply to About the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You can see your stats by clicking the link that is your nickname after you post. It uploads everything it needs to when you click submit to Metaverse. ~SDC~

Reply to All4x games use the same cheesy cheat in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The computer does not always get the best spot when you play a game. In the last game I played I had a great starting position allowing me to control almost half the map once I colonized. From what I've seen starting positions are just random with you and the AI both getting a range of good and bad ones. ~SDC~

Reply to 5 game winner? 5 game winner with 1000 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

That medal means you've won 5 games that each have a score of over 1000. ~SDC~

Reply to +15% PQ trait had an interesting effect on a culture push game I played. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The PQ bonus can be very nice with a smaller number of habitable planets. Depending on the map size, just getting a few extra planets from it will give you a nice advantage. ~SDC~

Reply to Are technologists a one trick pony? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I won on a gigantic map against all bright AIs. Their bonus can be helpful, although I think on smaller maps other parties may be a better bet. ~SDC~

Reply to Bad guys find pre-cursor corvettes early on. Ho hum so what... 77! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I got 100 corvettes once, to bad that dreadnoughts and battleships were widely being used, I ended up giving them to the Altarians to help them against the Yor for some cash. ~SDC~
