Reply to 5 game winner? 5 game winner with 1000 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

just have hehe won another in normal. Guess i was playing all subnormal to try different strategy and victory. I wonder if only normal and above count? ~SDC~

Reply to Helping the Beginners in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yup, my usual start for a large map, which works against Normal or bright AI so far is Set spending to 100% (Ignore the loss for now. Set Military to 80 Set Social to 0 Set Research to 20 You then pump out a colony ship every 3 turns. Once you think you have all the planets, switch to constructors to grab the resources, by the time you have a few of them, you should be almost out of money, so equalize your spending, move military down to 40, social to 30 an

Reply to Wow! Did a culture bomb that was almost *TOO* effective. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I try not to turn of culture. As many times the Civs dont resign to either me, or the other AI's it gets a bit repetative killing them off on a larger map. I normally get bored at the time i have clearly won, and so end up just grabbing a culture victory to save me an hour of mopping up. ~SDC~

Reply to Feeling frisky? Minor updates in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hmm ok im Wrong. In my just finished game i was easily extorting civs 50/25+ and with my allies they were paying up to 50/30. guess the stance of the civ to you is a big factor on lease length ~SDC~

Reply to Propaganda doesn't enhance income. in Strategies Stardock Forums

Ahh your intial post doesn't convey that, or im reading it wrong :P. Im sure you will agree that propaganda is esential to use in every game, once you have a decent income, for the moral boost, the tax benefit was always negligible ~SDC~

ok..doh gotcha. What about the 5 game winner, i notice you dont have that one, despite your profile shows you have won 10 games. Seems weird, some have it, others dont. ~SDC~

I agree..exclude Colony Ships, Transports, and Combat Transports from the auto launch. ~SDC~

Trade slider and arrows too small? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Does anyone else find the tiny slider and arrows when trading techs for money too small? After a while my eyes and hand end up hurting! anychance the slider could be made a little bigger to be more manageable? ~SDC~

Reply to GalCiv CD in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yea i ordered the CD as backup last week, not here yet. I'll give it another week before i start wondering where my money has gone :D ~SDC~

Reply to Metaverse Scores in Strategies Stardock Forums

Do people getting the REALLY high scores change the planet frequency to Many perhaps? even on large maps with 3/4 control of the map im only hitting 500bn pop. just a thought.. ~SDC~

Manufacturing VS Production in Strategies Stardock Forums

Do these differ? I have noticed some techs/buildings/Modules offer +15% manufacturing, and some offer +15% production. are these simply alternate names, or do they really differ in function? ~SDC~

The "rouge" monster :P Oh yea and the Drengin telling me if i was there with him we could snuggle..of course i was about to destroy his last star system hehe ~SDC~

5 game winner? 5 game winner with 1000 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just realised something. If you look at my profile, you will see i have won 8 games, and have a score over 1000. Do i not qualify for the 5 game winner and 5 game winner over 1000 medals? Not a bigger really, just jealous of my Grandads WWII medals! :P ~SDC~

Reply to Brad - Easy Fixes in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Dont forget the Rouge Monster...who always seem to remind me of an umm "working girl" with too much make-up hehe ~SDC~

Reply to Feeling frisky? Minor updates in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yea, with 1.02 i cant get much more than 50/22 when trading techs to major Civs. Also has anyone noticed that minor civs are always in debt now..from pretty much turn one they are *always*about 1000-3000 in debt..they seem a shadow of their former selves ~SDC~

Reply to Propaganda doesn't enhance income. in Strategies Stardock Forums

Cash cow? I never said it was. It *does* make more people happy for me and generates a slightly higher tax level. I was actually responding to you telling everyone never to use it. I had VERY bad problems with moral until i used propaganda, telling people its not worth using..is well wrong :) ~SDC~

Reply to Propaganda doesn't enhance income. in Strategies Stardock Forums

Propoganda in invaluable in the mid game!!! I would never EVER consider not using it. It raises your moral high enough to increase production, no of ppl paying taxes, stops the planets being culturaly dominated. ~SDC~

Reply to Just wondering? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Gets an 8 from me..adding in some features, and enabling the autoupdating AI will get it a 9. ~SDC~

Reply to REQUEST: Anyone else think AUTOMOVES should happen at the START of turns? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I prefer end of turn, its more flexible on what you do, and allows you to react i guess. ~SDC~

Reply to Fair Play in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I play a fair bit :P. But im only wanting simple info really. Which victory is considered hardest, and scores higher? Is population a big influence? etc etc ~SDC~

Reply to Fair Play in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yup I cannot get much higher than 500 points in any Large or Huge map game. I always have 200 pop + most of the tech tree done, 1000's of kills, a few 100 losses, the most inflence, 30k in the bank..and still i cannot get a decent score lol ~SDC~
