Reply to Xenoreligious Thought Mod: input requested! in Mods Stardock Forums

Viandox, I agree with you on the "points of no-return issue." The mod as I designed it (the one without the input of the _original_ creator of the idea, Neale Davidson) is not working as intended. The Really Good(tm) Torians have the Ubiquorate up (hehe) and the Really Neutral(tm) Arceans built the cathedral. Now, the only way they could do this is to have traded for the techs needed. I am uncertain how to proceed so the AIs won't do this, but I feel perhaps lengthening the tech tree in

11 new invasion strategies to be sent to the library soon in Mods Stardock Forums

OK folks, I have created 11 new invasion tactics total, along with pictures (not very good but...) and an excel file that tabulates the stats for each of them. Until the library accepts submissions again (whenever that will be) I will post the highlights here. I am most interested in how balanced these are. I tried to keep them real, in a gameplay sense, but for some I really fudged from my original vision: Invasion Type Decapitation Strike (no tech requirement) The Lit

Reply to Brad's Starbase Thread... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I feel that the problem lay in the desire of players to continually do the same end-game tactic (constructors everywhere) so the fixes that would most help: ->Maintenance cost (per starbase NOT modules). ->Limit to SBs per sector. M

Reply to Cryogenically Preserved Precursor in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

This is a known problem. The author chose to achive it with .rar, and then named it .zip so he could get it up on the library. You need an unRARing program, and Stardock needs to check it's library submissions. That particular mod is a little wonky. I had to rewrite the "good" choice because it ran off the screen and I had no idea what benefit I was getting :) M

Reply to Star Trek references in GalCiv - have Paramount's lawyers come calling yet? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What I am sick of is people assuming that someone asking a question wants something to happen. I counted four people flaming the original poster for apparently "wanting" a lawsuit to happen. He was just curious and asking a question about a legitimate concern. M

Rejected Library Submissions? in Mods Stardock Forums

If a submission is rejected, then will the rejected party get an email or something? After all the difficulty I had sending you my first mod work, I would like to know why everyone else is getting a mod up and mine still hasn't. If something is amiss, I would like to know. As it is, I've modified the mod I sent up a couple times to fix a typo and a couple numbers. I would like to see it up so I can update it. I certainly am not interested in putting in any more work into modding if my on

Reply to My first mod, Invasion tactic. in Mods Stardock Forums

You posted in my thread "Seven new invasion tactics..." that you couldn't get this one to work. Here is my thoughts: 1) You are pointing to a graphics file that is larger than 100x50 in size. This may be doing it. 2) You are telling it to destroy 150% (maximum) of the improvements. It may be freaking out trying to figure out how to destroy that many. M

Definitely will be the must-have modding tool when you finish it. It looks very good. Also, I have an issue with the cryogenically-preserved precursor. I just checked the file, and I can't figure out why this is happening: Last game I played. Got precursor twice. This current game. Got precursor three tmes!

Ichimaru, the only thing I see here is the bonuses are huge for the price. Maybe knock them down a little bit. Otherwise, I love the idea. Where did you get the name "Metrion Cascade"? M
