"And when I see that Social Welfare is a self destructive path I think "Self serving conservitives"." Yes, those Corporate Welfare mothers are destroying the US. If a company can afford to lay off workers while making millions in profit, I think it can pay taxes.
I play large galaxies, and in many cases, one empire I haven't met yet is on the other side of another. I can't use the influence overlay.

I haven't seen this. Hell, I've had one game where the races were either Pure Good or Neutral. It felt like that one episode of Futurama where Zap Brannigan declairs war on the Neutral Planet.
I use Stellar Cartography to find any empires I haven't met yet.
Considering that mining abilities can go to 60% or more, I would consider it unbalancing. And Wolf is right, its not in the resource files.
Well, they get +1% to a random ability every turn, so I'd start worrying. It depends on your Soldiering ability relative to theirs. If its equal, ~1:3 invaders/defenders.
Sorry, this post is in reply to Drooling Iguana (#48). If you look at the first post, there's a link to a thread I started that mentions that and a few other Stardock references.
IIRC, the last line of the events where a civ declares war on you says that military hardware has been sold to that civ. I'm guessing those ships they get are the Die Humans ones.
Don't ask this here. If the mod wasn't in the GalCiv library, it won't be supported.
The Metaverse score is divided by the square root of the number of games submitted.
Yellow stars have 10 base influence, I think. Then the population size and Star influence modifiers are added in. The Political Capitol adds 100% Star influence. I think I once saw an orange star with a class 13 planet and 35 base influence.

If you dive down, you can find the old bug report thread. The one with over 600 replies. We could make this into a game of hackey-sack. Brad un-stickies a thread, and we just keep bumping it to keep it on the first page. Of course, there's a very high chance of spamming.
Hmm, SB's moving with fleets? Maybe the ships become tug boats? LOL
I've seen the effects. Granted, I had Battleships at that point. I don't know if its supposed to be att/def/hp, but it might be just hp and got hit with the same bug Military resources had.
coffefreak, have you read Downsize This!, or did you come up with the Republicrats comment on your own?
Well, how are you planning on installing it? This doesn't help us if we assume you're downloading it from Stardock but you're using a CD or vice-versa.
The AI could be easily changed into taking opportunities when they arise. Think about it, would you go after a heavily defended world or an undefended world that's a little further away?
If you turn on the ships minimap button, you can see your own starbases (and enemy SB's that you can see) as +'s.
What are you talking about, 1.03 being out? Its next week.
Ah, the old Fort Wily tactic. Of course, if the AI has any range boosters, kiss your core worlds good bye.
Its right under the Military Projects list for that planet. If you're looking for an empire wide toggle, you're out of luck.
Maybe its a bug with morale calculation. It should have reset after that invasion. My guess would be that the check to see if a system defects to the I-League comes before the system's morale is calculated.
Ah, Sweden. Now there's a country that is on the wrong side of the Laffer curve. If they would lower taxes, their tax revenue would increase. If you don't know what I'm talking about, take up an economics course. And for the record, I'm 1/8th Swedish.
The Starship bonus has been a bit buggy. It does work, but if you save the game and reload it, the bonus goes away. It affects attack, defense and hit points.
They are treated as independent colonies for building ships and social projects. Modifiers from one planet's social projects don't affect the other. In the case of invasions and cultural defections, the system is counted as a whole, because owning one planet in a system means you have a claim on the system. The value of a trade route is dependant on the total revenue of the two systems it runs between.
