I've kinda developed a strategy... I go colonize a "14" planet in an unoccupied star system, immediately throw a soil improvement on it, and I get mega-love for gifting it... Hey, a workable colony for free!!
Thanks! Yeah, I have noticed a few fixes that make it a little easier to please other civs. I would, just for the heck of it, just GIVE profitable star systems over in order to see if I could make them like me, and that didn't work as much in the old patch. I just won 3 straight with a score of over 5k, with diplomatic victories. THanks!
I enjoy GalCiv a lot because of the ability to win so many different ways. One of the ones I enjoy a lot is to build the trust of some weaker races to defeat the great strengths of the galaxy, supporting them with money, tech and troops, even good planets!... but I just can't get the hang of how diplomacy really works, you know? How much does it affect their attitude towards me (it doesn't seem like very much!) if I give them hordes of tech and $$... and how do extra trade routes with that civ
