:) Some ideas: - -One suggestion /idea for GalCiv is that if you conquer a planet where there was a morale "dilema attached to it" you will given anew the choice... - Higher intelligence could be: You see the specials of each planet. - Ability to influence directly events in other empires => for example: Ranger is found by another empire / you get the choice to spend money for stealing it etc.... - Abilty to see what other empires are building.... - Give

Reply to AI can't win end game in Strategies Stardock Forums

:) What version number are you playing? In 1.03A I agree that only the Arceans, seems to use small fleets. I have seen the Arceans many times using stacks of transports with a defending ship. The problem the A.I. seems to have is to calculate the time its transports need to arrive leading to => in large maps the war is virtually over at the time when the transports arrive. The dreadnoughts have cleared away defenders but when the transports arrive the defense is build up again etc.

;) Stardock is only the developer. You should complain at "Strategy First" which is the publisher. On the other hand you have to admit that for such a small company the offer to download it directly and have a CD send to your place is as far as stardock can go to remedy the sitouation.

There is one small thing which bugs me :The elections, at the moment you know perfectly when the next elections will happen. To win them you have to lower your taxes simply one month before the elections and congratulations you won..... Suggestion: Take the average value of the tax rate of the last 24 months to calculate the morale of your people during elections.

:) wishlists are fine rebalance atleast some of the starships: Battlehammer and frigates => my suggestion simply exchange the maintance cost of the two Phoenix =>give them (please) a much higher attack value 2x or some thing else... Star Hawk? => "nobody" use them right now Ranger => awesome ship if you get it for free but "nobody" builds them . Dreadnoughts => perhaps double (triple) the research costs. At the moment they come within a very few

I think it would be helpful if you get yourself a small programm called smart exception through SDC. Run it while you are playing, if you have a CTD it will create a cra.log which will give the programmers a clue what is the problem.

Reply to Suggestions 1.03 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

small tweaks to the military AI: => Better coordinated follow up invasions on planets => less "suicide" attacks of AI controlled starships An option for my starships like "auto survey" but to "hunt and destroy" enemy freighters and constructors. an option to influence the occurence/and difficulty of random events. By the way. The game balance (IMHO) is much improved with the last build of game!!!! :)

@Technician I don´t have experienced yet these drastic changes you noticed in the game. You are more less complainign about three different things: 1.You have to drop tax levels to 40% to mantain a morale of round about 50%, 2.due to the lower income you have to drop your production level (You can´t run full steam economic 100% all the time now) ,3. minor races are quite fast in building trade goods you don´t get an adavance warning. 1.

Reply to Starbase Suggestion: in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

IMHO, starbases make the game to easy. Its simple to have a "super producing" sector in your empire which bulids galactic wonders in 2-3 turns, throw out constructors every turn etc.. O.K. on the one hand you could say don´t use these tacticts if they are to easy( cheesy). On the other hand the "abuse" of starbases is the most effective tactic at the moment, it is not a bug, for me its simple an game unbalacing feature which should be adressed. The AI in this game is good enough that the p

@DaetrinnSorry, I didn´t try to insult you or somebody else. I tried to explain my point of view. I play GalCiv as I would play it against other human players. A human would would tell you: Go away or its war between us.... There are many other loopholes out there. I believe sometimes it is up to the player to decide if he uses tricks to have fun or not. On the other hand I would like to see other things patched with 1st priority because the AI should act more "intel

O.K. there are always loopholes in all computer games and you can try to fix them as a developer or say if the players want to abuse them fine... On the bright side. Seeing that the players are forced to use these cheese tactics to win shoes me that the computer is already quite compent in running his empire.IMHO (the only way I can think of to prevent this paricular cheese is: Three ships near one of the computers ships will be regarded as an agressive act and lead to a drop

I don´t think it is a wide spread problem because it only happened to me once and it isn´t really repeatable, saving and reloading brought the things back to "normal" and it seems nobdody else reported something similar.
