Ye Gods! You know what I am genuinely puzzled about? How come it takes the larger companies 3-6 months to release ONE patch with hardly any enhancements or fixes (comparitively speaking). Is it a lack of desire on their part, or is it due to hulking bureacracies? In any event ... long live stardock!

Attack Advantage a Game Setting? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

In the new combat setting the attacker is going to get a +25% advantage. This amount might not be everyone's cup of tea, so what about the idea of making it a game setting? You could have Attacker +50%, +25% +10%, 0%, -10%, -25% and -50% Then everyone would be happy ... except for Brad of course since I imagine the above addition might play havock with the AI. Just my 2 BC Dano

I believe that a significant portion of the Expansion will be devoted to creating Custom races. I don't have the link handy but Brad said as much a couple of months ago. Dano

Please add an option so that the fleet that was previously selected on the main map appears highlighted on the diplomacy screen. The only thing I hate is when I trade a lot of ships, I need to write down on paper the specific ships that I want to trade to the AI. Dano

Actually I have always been scared of using defrag. On a large drive it is an overnight job, and if the power goes out your system is pretty much screwed ... no? Please correct me if I am wrong here ... Dano

Reply to Gameplay Example: Epic in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Just a question - Are Evil Races a viable choice anymore? Sure they get better weapons (but then the good races get better defenses), and with the new 'Big Picture' AI, the fact that the other Good AIs (of which there are now 4 (Altarians, Drath, Iconians and Torians)) will gang up on them seems to be a big penalty.

Reply to Must strategy games have multiplayer? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I'm with you Brad! People Suck! That's why I play computer games ... Actually if GalCiv had play by email, I would be all for that. I have no idea how this could be effectively implemented, especially in the early game. Maybe email games would have all players start with 5 planets and a bunch of ships or something. That's t

Reply to Expansion Packs in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Personally I wouldn't even try to ship an expansion before Xmas. With 1.1 and 1.2 going full steam you guys must be close to collapse. I would vote for Feb 2007 with an open beta before. What's the hurry? We will still be here ... Besides ... with the popularity of GalCiv 2 I think you will find Beta Pre-orders for the Expansion to be about a BILLION percent greater than GalCiv 2. Just my two BC. Dano

Reply to AI development: More focused, working with friends.. in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Mmmmmmm ... I love the idea of AIs going to war because they recognize your philosophy of Manifest Destiny. Q - Will such attacks only come from Military Campaigns, or Influence ones as well? Q - Is it a sudden attack (i.e. We were soulmates and suddenly 'Britain' declares war on me the next turn), or is it a sudden degradation of relations. If the latter it could be easy to buy peace from them, or the degradation may simply make

Bond ... James Bond in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi Brad, First let me congratulate you on the success of GalCiv 2. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving company. Your views on customer support and copy protections have made more than a few of us, rabid fans. Anyway, I had some thoughts you might be interested in regarding the upcoming expansion. You have mentioned that in it, espionage would be getting some much needed loving. I was trying to think of a way that this co

Does the AI Collaborate too much? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have noticed (and I have only been playing the game one level below intelligent), that once you have become a superpower the game is pretty much over, even if you have 75% of the map to conquer. It seems that the AI is only too happy to be your best bud, even when your influence is drowning them and you are gobbling up other races. This MAY keep them out of hot water for a little while, but an alternate strategy would be to quickly downgr
