[quote]I'm pretty sure I have seen the last enemy surrender. [/quote] I have. In a previous game, the Drengin had one lone world left. They decided to surrender to the inevitable (or something similar in the message). It happens. It's just rare.
AI has infinite sight. It knows where everything is.
There is only one module that helps with Repair... it's Military/Repair (+1% Repair Rate). The main trick is don't let star bases get attacked. If you want to keep a star base, defend it with some decent ships. After that, get all the +Repair techs as mentioned previously in other posts.
According to CariElf, that is true.
You can still trade with minors if you leave the UP.
Are you kidding Goblin? The Drengin tend to be my best buddies in MOST games... even though I run a 100 morality! They respect my economic and military power a lot more then those snooty Torians. Those guys just see those lovely worlds my people spent so long making an Eden from Hades, and say "Hand it over. We've overpopulated and need places to keep our harems." Of course, after I've crushed them mercilessly, they make a good trade good for our merchants to sell to our Drengi
Too many random events. I was playing a tiny game, and every other turn I was averaging a random event! Second, the same events were repeated too often! I just had *4* "All unsettled planets around Planet X have gone up 13 PQ". And it was the same PLANET all 4 times. That totally destroyed any semblence of balance. Prior, the Dregnin homeworld and the Torian homeworld had both experienced 3 random PQ ugrades. There were also 3 invasions of space sharks. The first start
Under M.003, I was getting the message about submitting scenarios. I'll try down loading the new rc release and try another game with it as soon as I get a chance.

[quote]You'd be more than welcome GoblinCookie.... we're a very forgiving bunch. :) [/quote] Don't do it man! You can never, ever, ever trust anyone that says they are a forgiving! They must have terrible, horrendus tortures awaiting you! They probably asked their Drengin slaves for tips on maximizing your pain and humilation!
CariElf, I don't have a save that will reproduce that as it requires the Drengin to surrender. On reload, the Drengin do not decide to surrender. I caught another bug... Capturing I-League worlds does not grant new tech. This is irritating. Also... the I-League built a Political Capital, and they destroyed it, along with their Hyper Manu, just before I took over the world. Those no account wimps! :) And yes... when I invade a world, the "Generic" governor name changes
[quote]Sounds good, as well as to add the possibility to demand the AI to give you SB in your sectors as they do, not tradewise[/quote] You can already do that. Remember the alien Starbase name... contact aliens, and select that starbase from their ship list. If you don't offer anything in trade, you are demanding the starbase.

Martin the Dane, in MoO2, Star Bases *increased* your command points. And so did *mobile* star bases, Doom Stars. Ships did cost 1 command point per ship size (below Doom Star). Great idea. But it made the bigger the hull better/more cost effective... A Medium (size 3) ship was more cost effective at 3 command points then 3 Tiny (size 1) ships... 3 Tiny ships could never take out a Medium ship when tech level was similar. Just as one Tiny (size 1) ship and one Small (size 2) sh
[quote]The Terraformer achievement is a key strategic resource in victory. Only if your games last long enough to get there. I very rarely even get as far as building the terraforming planetary improvement.[/quote] In AP, I tend to get up to near Terraformer. In straight GC, I normally don't come close.
[quote]My tech and military scores are usually low. It will say i have researched 1 tech when i have researched many. It will say i have destoyed 1 enemy ship when I have laid waste to dozens.[/quote] There is a bug in 1.20 where it only counts since the new/load. It doesn't track the stats over the current instance you are playing. (If you load the game up after school and resume playing, the stats only count from when you loaded.)
But you could always just leave the UP then. I wonder if the Terror Stars will start moving then?

[quote] few 'alternate universe' style techs and one of the wonders from that tech required over 60 turns to build on a class 1318 planet while running 100% social production[/quote] And what was your Social Spending (not rate, points)? And how many worlds did you have? if you are spending 200 BC on Social, but have 10 planets, each planet on gets 20 BC a turn. Then you get your production bonuses on that... even at 800%, that is only 20+160 or so BC. Less then 200 BC a turn, for instan
In AP. 4 new ships.
I haven't been able to submit any pure random games under M.003. I don't know what step I missed, but there is something that I need to do special to get a straight random game to submit. Bleah. I find that very aggravating. But a beta is a beta. ;) AP is going to rock GC fans.
If I decide to do a wall, I use colony ships. I already build them to keep my worlds morale up when they become to crowded. Plenty of those, and they are maintence 0.
I'm a builder. I like the fact that building is a decent option in GalCiv. Do you have to "land" grab? Yes. You need to come out near or better off then the AI on planets. Otherwise, you'll fall behind on tech. And that can be bad. How to mitigate "bad"... make sure that your Military Rating is always #1 or *near* the #1. If your military is much stronger then the computer, it will leave you the heck alone. How do you get a high military rating? Anti-Matter Missiles ar

Click on the star you want to add a world. Maximize your display. On the right hand side at the bottom, enter in the PQ size of the planet you want to add. Click the "Add Planet" button. The planet will be added to the star. Currently, the Map Editor does not display the planet icon until you click on it in the list box under the "Add Planet" button (at least for me).
Minor Bug: Governor "Generic" changes to "[Your Empire]" name when first invasion happens. Also, I use "Star League" and the former "Generic" name text will then display "Star\n League". I don't think the \n (newline) should be displayed.
CTD on end game! Allied with Torians. I am at war with Drengin (3 planets), the Torians are not (due to the fact that no Drengin ship has managed to leave long enough to attack me?). Drengin decide to beg for peace, I decline. They then surrender to Torians, to spite me (says so in message). Allied Victory condition is on. I finish my turn, looking forward to seeing the rare Allied Victory. Game CTDs instead at end turn resolution. Whoopsie!
Hey, you capture the world with the Galactic Stock Exchange, then you should get the bonus from it! That's how racial uniques work. You already have a manufacturing capital, but when you capture that Drengin world with a manufacturing capital, then you have 2. And I think that if you capture the world that built that trade good, you should control the TG as well. That would make the worlds that build them more important. After all, if that world is the one that "discovered/first pr
