Reply to metaverse submission problem in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In my attempts I have noticed a problem that is you have had the internet connection active for a while , tyhe game doesn't seem to recognize it is connected. What has worked for me is to either save near the end or set autosave to one turn,then to disconnect and the reconnect to internet, then reload the game and then it should usually have no problem getting submission screen

also biulding multiple starbases with mining and economics modules will help lowewr building time. On your economy screen you can also raise your social production slider bar or military production slider bar.

Reply to Tech Victory Tips? in Strategies Stardock Forums

Pump your economy and your trade to increase your income, build starbase economic modules to increase freighter income from trades. grab any technology resource you can and max out its mining bonuses. Try to get as many 15+ planets as possible as they increase your economic base and allow you to build mutiple constructors faster and also build multiple research social projects. there is a lot of techs to research to get the beyond human but it can be done in 3-4 hrs on a small map.I speak from e

Reply to My planets are money pits! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

With all the improvements you built also comes a maintenence cost. Usually most of your profit will be from trading , so that is why it is importnat to build trade routes and starbase economy modules in the sectors that your trade routes go through. Unlike Civ or MOO , you don't have to maintain each world indepedently liquid. Conversley don't build a lot of social projects as they are what drives up the maintenence costs

Reply to When should I NOT build Social Programs... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you are berlow 50% spending levels and they aren't necessary for morale or influence #'s then it is a good time not to build them as they have maintenance totals. I usually start by building the social programs that have no upkeep or boost my economy 1st and only build morale only or non-economy projects if I need to boost that particular area.

Reply to Trade Routes Question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I find that trading to the minor races actually hurts diplomatically because the other major empires then have no reason to not go after you becuase you aren't a significant part of their culture. There is nothing like preventing the most agressive empire from leaving you alone because it will kill their economy if they attack you.

Try turning off autosurvey on one of them , then sending them on autopilot to the other end of the galaxy you can reach , then turning on autosurvey again. If they get in the same area again, just repeat this.

In the military modules it also has bonuses for ship defense. the defense modules are for the starbase itself

Reply to After pumping countless constructors, my starbase is just a piece of fancy junk ! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Especially for a home sector starbase, it really helps to max out the mining and econmic bonuses , as that really cuts down the time factor in construction of military and social projects,and the total bonuses in military and defense really help keep you alive. In a recent game I got ganged up on by the Drengin, Yor , and Arcean empires. I had my maxxed out starbase, Battelstation mk3 level and +12 def, hold off about 10 waves of multiple attacks by battleships and dreadnaughts before 15 rounds

Reply to Freighters and Starbases -- When Do You Get the Bonus? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

As I understnad the bonus info, it is only when the mini freighter is in that sector that you get the bump in income, that is why several people have posted that they build the sratbases along the entire route. ship speed shouldnt make much difference depending on where your world is, for instance if you are close to the near edge it would make no difference and if you are at the far edge it might make a small difference, assuming that the mini freighters don't have a constant speed the whole ga

Reply to After pumping countless constructors, my starbase is just a piece of fancy junk ! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

you should not forget to upgrade the economic and mining portions of a starbse, especially in a system with multiple colonies. the cumulative bonuses willhelp you crank out constructor like there is no tomorrow. also you have to improve your economy and trade income so that you have a lager manufacturing base. IMO, you should only upgrade the military and defense parts when you are preparing for a war or you are falling behind in military ratign and you have races threatening you. The production

Anybody else having a problem submitting scores after connected long time? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have noticed in my own submission problems that it only goes to the submission screen if I finish and hit done fairly soon after I have restarted my computer and established my initial connection. During the same session I finished a game a couple of hours later and ,having never disconnected, the game just dropped me to the menu screen without bringing up the submit screen. But after restarting again, the submission worked.

Reply to How to submit scores? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

This is what I have had to go through to be able to submit. !st if you have a firewall make sure you didn't deny permission for gal civ to to connect , then try restarting your computer and getting your connection again, then load your save game to finish and see if it gives you the option again. If that doesn't work, as it didn't for me 1st time , try to reinstall game and /or stardock and do the registration again. For some reason the game does't seem to recognize an internet connection that h
