Reply to what i would like to see in 1.2 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm using Beta 2b and you can click on an individual ship to remove it from the fleet. You can also disband the entire fleet. I also think that in addition to being able to upgrade individual ships within a fleet, it would be nice to be able to upgrade the entre fleet at once. I think some right click options on fleets would fit the bill.

1) Increased diplomatic options as posted by many people. The only way I can get the Drengin to behave is to declare war. It would be nice to be able to coerce them in various ways. Or use allies to coerce them. Even when I have overwhelming military, I can’t get anyone to make peace with other races. 2) It would be nice to be able to also get races to align themselves with you (at great cost, naturally). I mean that if you are playing "Good" and the Yor are "Neutral" it w

How do you start with cheats enabled? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The only reason I am is asking is because I want to see how the AI proceeds throughout a game to learn it's strategies and improve mine. I don't plan on playing games that way, just want to know. Also, is there a way to find out which level the AI is set to when a game has started? I'm in a game now that should be Challenging all around, but the AI is not doing anything, as if it is on Easy or something. Thanks.

Reply to AP Tips in Strategies Stardock Forums

Littlewotts, we were talking specifically about Campaign Scenario 3. Although the title is "AP tips" the first message was re: scenario 3. Have you played that? Trading techs with the Altarians in that scenario doesn't work because the AI will not trade evenly (even though we're supposed to be a team).

Reply to Campaign help (Mission 3) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't get how you can possibly expect to keep up in research if you have your spending set so low. You will NEVER get to dreadnought before you are completley annihilated by combat transports. How many planets does the AI typically have once colonization is over? And by the way, you cannot hide your vessels, the AI has no fog of war or shroud. I've moved scout ships to the four corners of the map and had them just guard there. Eventually the EXCALIBUR would come and kill them. Bu

Reply to Altarian Prophecy Campaign Feedback in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

A major problem with level 3 is that the Altarians are very poor allies. Where if it were two human players against the AI they would share techs generously, the Altarians DO NOT. I am lucky to get 1 tech in exchange for three, even if diplomatic levels are about equal. Another thing; THAT IS NOT AN AVATAR,it is an Excalibur. Not that it matters, because I can't even get to battleship tech before I am eliminitated, but if I were to somehow figure this level out and get to Avatars, it

Reply to AP Tips in Strategies Stardock Forums

I too am having difficulty with this level (as much as I hate to admit it) and I've been playing this game for a while. Paul, you say get dreadnaughts ASAP, butalso get Eyes of the Universe. Sensors and such are not on the path to dreadnought. But if I don't get sensors I can only see the transports when they are AT MY PLANET. So no time to make corvettes or anything. And even if I DO make corvettes, the AIs transports WINS THE BATTLE half the time! So how do you make corvettes that can bea

Reply to Can anyone tell me how the points work in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

OK, so what gives you points in the social category? Economic? Military? I also thought high population was awarded more points, is that correct? And I guess what Ellestar was trying to say, briefly and enigmatically, was that the harder the settings the more points you get? That doesn't seem to be true. I'm playing Bright opponents now but my highest score game came from normal opponents on a gigantic map.

Can anyone tell me how the points work in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am not exactly sure how to increase my score for the metaverse (not that it matters too much, but I am curious). I noticed on Staffa's games he played mostly gigantic maps so that would mean large populations and big income, but he has a score of 3,000+ on a TINY map! How'd he get that score? On a tiny map? If someone could break it down for me I'd appreciate it.

Reply to Is there any way to get a culture or tech win without a strong military? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The short answer is: No. You cannot win without some military. But apparently you can fool the AI into leaving you alone. I was playing Normal settings for a while and just started with the more difficult settings. It's a lot harder to maintain the edge and keep the AI off your back. But it does seem that if you survive until Dreadnaught tech, your chances of winning double. And if at the end of any turn your military is twice any other society's, you can win the game any way you w

Reply to Where did all the threads go? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thanks, I tried that. The problem is when I re-installed Stardock, I could see the entire list. It was only after it updated itself and restarted that the list was missing. All I can see are all the stickied posts as well as about 4 or 5 others. :notsure:
