At this point, I don't think a merger is neccessarily in our best interests- either way, it is a discussion the Republic will have..

Reply to How to make a fleet in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well, when you have a bunch of ships on the same square, pressing f will fleet them- alternatively, in the ship display window, there is a button to group them together.

[quote]I never build battlecruisers at all. I lean more toward frigates for quick strike and hammers to back em up at that stage. [/quote] see, here's my q regarding that- frigates seem to be so damn expensive, and I take the approach of building swatchs of battle hammers instead- Its not the strongest offensive army, but its rock solid in defense and not as expensive. Do you still go out and buy frigates if you aren't attempting a extermination campaign ?

Staffa, where exactly did these rules come from ? ;)

Reply to WAR DECLAIRATION in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Since this place has a lot of people mulling around, I might as well ask- does anyone here build battlecruisers ? Complete distortion of the topic I know, but I personally find them to be to weak (low HP, bonuses and all) and tend to lean heavily on battle hammers...

I think that everyone can agree that hard liquor of cute girls are a worthwhile contribution to any conflict- especially if they come to us... LOL

Reply to Ship assessments? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just realized I wasn't clear - they're basically a one and done weapon that blows and takes a few ships with it.

Reply to Ship assessments? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Regarding the AMM's, they're great for bombardment- akin to the nuke in Civ2, but less powerful- they knock out three or four ships and destroy. Great way (and often the only way) to knock out that level 4 dreadnought that the Yor has...

Popester, I think we'll leave the sheep to their fate (and the ANZACS)- we don't want to be accused of being heartless, do we ? :D

Reply to Galactic Civilizations back story in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you search, Brad gave a pretty detailed explanation somewhere here (About 2-3 weeks ago I think)- he mentioned that when he got time, he would work more on it and incorporate it more into the game...

Reply to Military Conquest. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Great thread- I agree with CM in that although there are four ways to win, there really is only one way to win if you wish to score high, and that is a shame.

Reply to Trade Good Confusion! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

idleprocess, you cannot sell a trade good multiple times- once you sell it, its gone. Hmm- I was under the impression that once you had sold it, you lost the benefits of it as well.

One more thing- leasing in general is only referring to the purchasing of something. For example, when you try to buy a battlecruiser on Earth that has 4 months remaing, you can either pay a flat sum now, or pay some now and pay x amound for y years- the latter is leasing the battlecruiser.
