[quote]Ship rotator. It's has a couple of nice features :[/quote] can you make it so that if makes a certain color transparent automatically? such as a blotch of really hot pink that colors everything that is NOT the image of the ship and this part is converted to a transparency? for those of us who use ms paint as our primary paint program, stuff like alpha blending transparent layers are a big obstacle to making even a simple ship set.

One BILLION troops per transporter? Come on. 50 million (though it is still pushing the limits of believable) is more like it if you rack-pack soldiers in stasis pods. earth is fairly two dimensional. ships are 3 dimensional and can pack them in more easily. in stasis pods, you merely need a 1

Reply to GalCiv FAQ - Initial Attempt in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]How can I stop the AI from asking me for more money than I have?[/quote] one of the best ways is to simply have a big enough fleet that they ai can't invade without it thinkning it will suffer heavy losses. so a fair number of offensive ships and your basic defenses. overall you should be fairly high on the military ranking list. a fun way is to bribe other nations to take down the ai bully. especially their major training partners. if you can get a lot of them to do i

Reply to AI Starbases in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

it seems the devs tend to avoid any tactics that allow the ai to cripple you in only a few turns. probably a good idea. it would be greatly annoying if the ai saved up constructors and pulled the 50 culture bombs trick while you were going for an alliance or tech victory and couldn't counter in time. i remeber they said that the ai at first used antimatter missiles too efficiently and used them to smash the player in one turn.
