Reply to what do the asterisks (*) mean next to the colony name? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

hmm... that could be it i guess. i saw an asterisk apprear once when i launched a colony ship. this made me think that it might have something to do with pop, but i guess launching the ship also left the system undefended...

Reply to Question about huge or bigger galaxies! (beyond human win) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't think so, no, but I could be wrong. If you don't want to win a tech victory you could just stop doing research once you reach Final Frontier, or you could disable a tech win. I usualy focus on tech when I play, and so most of my wins have been beyond human.

i never noticed any espionage problems either... maybe they fixed it in the patch.

Reply to Remember BOTF in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

ok, 3 posts in a row, I guess I'm a little scatterbrained... but I liked the diplomacy in BOTF too... I think BOTF really had alot going for it, I'd love to see a BOTF2 as long as they didn't butcher it like they did with MOO3, but I don't think they are even willing to consider a BOTF sequal...

I really liked the starship combat on BOTF, I especialy loved being the Romulans... a cloaked sneak attack could be so devestating.

I loved BOTF... I'd love to play it again sometime. Got any links for those mods? Are they still out there?

Reply to Suggestions for making Culture Bombs not such a cakewalk in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

ahh, i didn't think of that... high pop... i think i only brought over like 100 mil just like i do with all my other colonies... oops...

Reply to Suggestions for making Culture Bombs not such a cakewalk in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I tried a culture bomb for the first time recently, but failed miserably... First I constructed a Party Palace SB in the sector, and colonized a planet there. Then I bought SE, HI, and Terraforming, and then bought all the culture resist improvments available. But as I was building up the colony, it flipped over to the other side, so my culture bomb was absorbed by the enemy... Any advice?

Reply to invading with multiple transports in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't think it matters whether you do it all at once or one at a time, except that you would get to "re-roll" the "advantage ratio" for each ship instead of just doing one for the whole stack. it's just a matter of throwing enough troops at the planet until you overwhelm them.

absolutely. it is really tedious moving hundreds of constructors around upgrading SB after SB...

You want to trade between systems with high Pop and high Influence. I believe just you, but I'm not 100% positive. No. I don't know that one.

Reply to Deleting Metaverse scores? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

some sort of "auto upgrade starbase" feature? how would that work exactly? i know what you mean though, my games always end up with all my planets producing nothing but constructors, so there are always dozens of them on the map zooming around and upgrading starbases everywhere... i guess it does get a little time consuming.

Reply to How much do you get for the trade goods? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

about 1000 BC total, roughly 10 for 100 turns... that's about right.

a question about "morality points" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was curious about how many points you shift on the "morality scale" for some of the different event choices, and I noticed something that made me wonder if it was working right. When I selected the "good" choice on 4 different events, I only gained 1 point each time, but when I selected the "evil" choice on a couple of the events, I lost like 20 or 30 points each time. Is that right? You only get 1 point for being good, but you lose like 20 or 30 for being evil?
