Reply to exotics in Sins of a Solar Empire II Sins2 Forums

You can build a factory with the right techs. You can also uncover exotics on your planets if you invest in them (I always go the research route to get the factory because it's predictable). Keep in mind this is a Tech Preview. The point is to make sure the new engine works on people's computers. We also want to start getting some feedback on some of the new mechanics (like orbiting planets). Outside of that disclaimer I know the team has been talking about what to do if you l

[quote who="Muse27" reply="6" id="3862285"] Awesome! I decided over the weekend to start a new game to give it a shot! I used your settings from above, but with one change that you discussed, turning AI tech trading off. I decided if multiple people were all going to play the same world, reducing the randomness of how the AI trades, if at all, is reasonable. I used the same 4 races in the game, but decided the Festron would be my race of choice. Here is the game if an

[quote who="Muse27" reply="3" id="3862139"] Looks interesting! Is there a way to restart from turn 1 to see how long we can last, or do we just have to move forward from turn 84?[/quote] I think that's a good idea. Next time I'll grab a turn 1 save and we can all play from the same starting position and see who can get farthest.

[quote who="Old-Spider" reply="2" id="3862057"] I don't play multiplayer, but I decided to download your save and check it out. I played without much of a problem. The AI were sending ships to attack my colonies and the Festron were sending lone transports to attack my core worlds. I could destroy them without too much trouble. I would lose a colony occasionally, but I could take it back soon after. I would lose some ships, but I could replace them without much trouble. Things got better

Update 1.05 added Survival Mode to Multiplayer. In Survival mode, all the AIs are locked in permanent war with the human players and allied with each other. They also receive bonuses that increase over time. The AI will win, the question is, how long will you last? Or in a MP game, which human will last the longest? But you don't need other humans to play MP in GC4, so I setup a Survival mode game to play all by myself. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/6

GalCiv IV Dev Journal #21 - The Arcean War (and 1.05 preview) in GalCiv IV Dev Journals GalCiv4 Forums

This has already been a bloody game. The map is fairly packed and my neighbors (the Torians and the Festron) spread quickly. Usually, I would try to convince one of them to join me in a war against the other. But I'm playing the Arceans and we have access to some great commander warships, and I'm not interested in sharing. Instead, I pick the weakest of the two (the Festron) and attack at full force, hoping the Torians stay out of it. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/6
