thks :) [quote]In fact, I always wonder why I keep protecting my systems with a couple of defenders battleaxes. It is absolutely unnecessary (albeit logical).It should be some imprinting I had with my first wargames (boardgames), where if you were not protecting your systems (cities) you had carriers/missiles wounding you to death... [/quote] Actually that's worth doing, because your old and antiquated ships are useless in battle anyway, while in orbit, they have to be destr

Glad that my quite archaic knowledge is still usefull (I've been away for a while, and I'm not up to date with the latest versions) Anyway, Markos2, this was discussed a long time ago, and, if I recall correctly, the main reason is to avoid some cheese tactics that would be to send a transport just with only 1b of troops, then mass drive or core detonate the hell out of the planet, leaving it useless to the AI (and to anyone else), and not losing any troops. But the AI would be crippled

And remember that they (mass drivers, core detonation, etc) only have an effect if your invasion is succesfull: I mean that if your ground attack is repealled, then the planet will not suffer from the attack (no PQ loss or destruction) except for the troops (population) that your own soldiers killed.

Reply to random intelligence? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hello Luminae, Yes you can edit the files, but I have no idea how to do it. Maybe you should select yourself the AI level, since it allows you to better balance your game (it's more a difficulty setting in my opinion). And then set the moral alignement to be random, so you don't know right away which civs are most likely to be friends with you.

[quote]Tony: do you have a save game with the undead Yor?[/quote] Cari, I had some undead Yor too, having the morality chaange event. They were gone for years when that happened. I think it happened also to some other disappeared civs. But since I don't think it is of consequence, I never thought of making a save for it. And I don't know if it would happen again upon reload (it is a random event right?). I just wonder if their "spiritual" presence in the game might modify the scores som

[quote]What worries me a little is the idea that it just might be a display error... so, if you accept these 'empty' trades, are you actually trading something you're not aware of? If you reject them, do your relations drop?[/quote] I had that just same thought so everytime it happened, I just rejected it :notsure:

Je dirais plutôt qu'il faut développer ton commerce avant tout. Les bases seront alors un bonus. Celles qui sont sur des ressources doivent être absolument prioritaires car à elles seules elles peuvent parfois assurer ta survie. Et n'oublie pas que ton commerce va beacoup varier au cours du jeu (en fonction des guerres, de tes embargos, de disparitions de civs). C'est pour ça aussi que je suggérais les bases prsè de tes principales planètes: ce point de départ lui ne bougera jamais. Et donc elle

Et n'oublie pas que si tu m'est une base près (ou même dans le secteur) d'une planète d'une autre civ, ça ne va pas forcemment lui plaire. Et si tu envois un vaisseau pour la protéger, même contre une autre civ, et bien le propriétaire de la planète l'aprécieras encore moins. Dans certains niveaux ça peut même déclancher une guerre. Et les bases spatialles sont coûteuses et très fragiles. Il faut donc pouvoir les protéger. Je suggérais d'en mettre une près de sol parce que c'est souvent là

I've been having a long discussion with Matthew downie in the Fellowship thread just about that subject (at the prancinp pony in the empires forum). I think it is around page 29-30, he was exploring the possibility to mod the events so that it would increase the moral change linked to the event.

In my last game I got the logistics hability to 40 I think (2 or 3 achievements). By then, the SB didn't cost that much anymore. Edit: of course, for huge and gigantic maps, the question remains -- but I cannot tell: I never play those galaxies so I have no idea how crucial star bases might be, or not. [Message Edited]

[quote]Je pense que avec 1.2 tu ne should pas creé des bases juste pour increasement du trade.However, quand un base est situé sur la route d'un minivaisseau build des improvements du trade dans'elle. [/quote] C'est vrai aussi. je ne construit de base hors ressources que près de ma principale planete (ou si j'en ai plusieurs dans un système solaire). Au cours du déroulement du jeu, et des civs qui commercent avec toi, tu verras où est ce que c'est le pplus rentable d'ajouter des modules

Reply to STARBASE in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Salut Philippe Ce que Solitair explique c'est que pour améliorer ton commerce la base doit être dans le même secteur que le mini-vaisseau. Le secteur en question ce sont les grands carrés que tu vois sur la mini-carte. Chaque secteur est divisé en 12x12 espaces. Donc pour traverser un secteur, le minivaisseau met au moins un an. Chaque tour (mois) il te rapporte un revenu. Si ta base spatiale est n'importe où dans le secteur ou se trouve le mini vaiseau, alors le revenu de ton vaisseau

However I did get ally's entering in a war against me, in one of their other allies were at war with me. But I also had the case were they would break their alliance with the other civ and help me. Are you sure you just didn't miss the information window? Sometimes I click to fast, without paying attention, and miss some important info. I was under the impressio

Hi Walldorf I've played all levels, climbing the ladder... Recently It was tough, crippling and 3 attempts at maso (one of which succesfull). Ot is true that in the maso, at first I only had one starbase in my homesector (where sol is). By mid-game, I took over two resources military and economic, and sent as soon as I could deathknights, then rangers and finally overlords to protect them. One of the resources was in an adjacent sector (of one of their planets) under that civ influence

[quote]This was true in 1.13 and 1.19. I assume it is their way of gifting you. I receive Battleship technology, Dreadnaught technology, and even Overloard technology from the AIs in this manner. [/quote] Usually, when it is a gift, the text is right (something like, your benevolence has won us, we gift you...). Latelly i've even had trade proposals of nothing against nothing!

Their defense is essential, since they help all ships in my fleet. And I haven't noticed many problems with other AIs. Of course it depends on where the SB is located, but I wouldn't build one in one of their homesectors: it wou

Yes I noticed that. Saintly has replaced the former good (so, for now, good is better than saintly...) and the same in the "other side": you'll have demonic instead of evil, and then evil instead of demonic.

Reply to GC 1.2 Alliance Gripe in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've complained about this as well, but I've noticed under 1.2 and AP beta that it's not all that automatic anymore. I've been at war with one of the allies for several turns, and his ally has not done a thing (at least directly). My feeling is that it is definetly better now. I think it is more a matther of relative force now.

Reply to Bug Reports for Altarian Prophecy Beta 3 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well I managed to register one pure good game under 1.49. All other were chaotic good. But I think it is because the events aren't frequent enough for a player to reach pure good alignement within the lenght of a medium game. However, in my current game, I got lucky and reached the 100 alignement. I'll check if it registers correctly in the metaverse. Minors are building trade goods in this game too.

Reply to The luck ability in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I always (almost) pick universalists + luck. I usually get some rangers. And in 2 of my games there were +PQ events. One in a nearby sector, the other (in my current game) directly for Sol, giving a +13PQ for every planet. But that's the only times these events helped me, so I guess it is "real" luck: several other times I saw there was such an event but to far away from me for me to benefit from it.

Weyrleader, I think I noticed this too. But everytime I assumed I clicked above or below what I wanted and not noticed. Or maybe PJ is right. On the same subject I think I cannot get the Galactic Research Center to be build: it completes, the planet stops producing, and I can produce it again! (I think in one of my games, everytime I thought " I was sure I build it already", and I think ended up building it 4-5 times!)

Reply to The minors are one the move again!!!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]Hmmm, I don't think I have ever seen a major buy a trade good from a minor, maybe they should.[/quote] I agree. Though sometimes an Ai does demand that I hand over the trade good. Anyway, I try not to exploit (too much) Ai limitations like this one, so I act as if they would buy it, thus cancelling my advantage (and considering the beating I just took, it seems I still need all the extras I can get...)
