Reply to Fun WAR story--post yours, too! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I remember one of my games I played on beginner. A new minor race called the Venge had appeared and colonized a few star systems. They then launched a few terrorists attacks, one against the Altarian Republic, the other against the Yor Collective. Both the Yor and Altarians came to me asking to declare war. Finally I decided to. Fortunately, their home system was close to my territory. I sent a Ranger and a couple of battlecruisers to take out their defenses. After that I invaded their ho

Reply to Contacting Minor Races in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Under the foreign policy button, there is a tab for minor races. Click on it and a screen showing the different races will appear. Just click on the one you want to talk to and click the speak button. As for finding them you just have to click around the map. Each minor race has a symbol so just look for that on a star system.

As for troops, you already have them! Whenever you launch a combat transport, the game prompts you on how many troops you want. You'll want a lot to get control of a star system.

Reply to What's the best planet class you've found? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I found 2 class 26 planets in my game and colonized both. I built a Hyperion manufacturing center on one and with the other manufacturing improvements it gets about 25 production points a turn. It can churn out battleships likes there's no tomorrow! :D

All upgrades that you give to a starbase only have an effect in the sector that they are located in, so place them well! As for resources, I'm not sure. I don't have access to any in my game. Darn those Drengins!

I have a 500 pentium III and the game runs fine. I can play on a large galaxy map, but my computer is probaly too slow for a huge or gigantic galaxy map.

Reply to I am so damn HAPPY!!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just got this game yesterday. It's the most addictive and deep turn-based play that I played since Alpha Centauri. I ended up playing it until 2 A.M. Now if you'll excuse, I got a galaxy to rule! ;) P.S. Even though I do not meet the minimum requirements for the game, it still runs fine even on a large map (I won't even try huge or gigantic size).

Thanks a bunch for the info! :D Fortunately I have my T.V. near my computer so I won't get bored while waiting.

System Requirements in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am a little concerned about the system requirements. I have a 500 Mhz pentium III, 160 mbRAM, a 16mb video card, and directX 8.0. Will this be enough to at least run the game on a medium map?
