Reply to Do we need tournaments? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Wow...this is a fun idea! Anyone want to setup a game, and put it for download somewhere? Must we also decide if we all will be playing pure good or pure evil?

Good work! Didn't read it all yet, but it looks good. Also nice to put a gameplay example in it!

Reply to Things you would like to see in a Galactic Civilization expansion set in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Euhmmm when i previously 'begged' (;p) for a 'break alliance' button. Actually I didn't mean a butten where you could break your own alliance, but more a trade 'thingy' where you could 'motivate' an AI player to break his alliance with an other AI player. This is because when an alliance between two AI players is being formed, there is nothing you can do about it anymore. It would be nice if you could somehow disrupt relations between the AI players. In the existing setup, this is only

Agree! Payment should stop when asker declares war, or race dies.

AI should not only attack the player when he is weak, but also when he thinks the player gets TOO STRONG, with the help of other AI players.

- Fix the 'military rating' so that it doesn't only account for the attack value of ships, but also the defense rating/ hitpoints

Reply to Metaverse - a joke? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Crichton: you got some real good points here. The main problem imho is the fact that 'no lifers' (sorry guys ;p ) can flood the metaverse, and the fact that there is no seperate scoring for the different galaxy sizes. So what about: - Player ranking for different galaxy sizes (where you would get higher points for higher difficulties etc.) - Empire ranking for different galaxy sizes. So teams can pick a certain galaxy to rule. - monthly statistics: * Best play

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

Thanks everyone for your answers! Is a 'diplomat' someone from within Stardock? If yes, I'll trust: "by Diplomat Solitair - 5/8/2003 3:30:54 AM" Tech costs scale with galaxy size! Go ahead and play largere galaxies. Things take longer to research to balance against the more planets you'll have. But I wouldn't mind seeing an even laaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrger tech tree ;)

"Or does the game slow down research on bigger maps? " Or, does the game "slow down research" on bigger maps? ;) for your reading convenience

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

In my previous game on a 'large' map, I managed a 'beyond human' win, without too much trouble. I finished the tech tree before I defeated everyone. Not really a problem ofcourse, but it made me think. What happens on larger maps??? On these maps, you generally need more time to conquer everyone. I can imagine having reached a 'beyond human' win before even seeing the entire galaxy..... Or does the game slow down research on bigger maps?

This was also surprising: "When you play Galactic Civilizations and see flat-looking ships, you'll know the irony that every single one of those ships is fully rendered in three dimensions. This was my decision and I wish I could take it back now."

First win on intelligent...I need a harder challenge! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Today I won my first game with all players on intelligent. The Arceans gave me a hell of a fight, but luckily I could keep them busy by sending both the Drengin and the Altarians after them. It was a close call, but once I rebuilt my military, none of the AI's dared to attack me (or gang up against me). Muhahahaha eat this you dirty Arceans! I'm now trying a higher dificulty level. Let's see who's your daddy now ;) Oh and btw: i wouldn't mind seeing the other races with the 'd

Is this a bug or feature? PS. Would you PLEASE insert a 'break alliance' option?

It would be nice to hear someone from Stardock say anything about a release date for europe. Last rumor I heard, was that they were still looking for a publisher.
