yeah thats what I always assumed in my previous games when I saw bases change hands. These last 2 were in my territory and constantly within my sensor range. They just changed color one turn.
Ok, first off - GREAT GAME. I've been having a blast playing it. I'm currently on the level above normal and getting my ass kicked, but I noticed a few odd things. AI Tech Sharing - ok, I know this has probably been beaten to death and the AI can't tell your human and everything, but this is either messed up or there's a galactic tech exchange that I'm not aware of. Ok, I'm big on research. My slider is usually at at least 40% the entire game. Normal was nearly impossible to keep
its downloading now apparently, must have just been to impatient or something. I'll let you guys know how it works out. Thanks for the help.
cool I'll give it a try. I tried reloading stardock and now it says my Nickname is already in use when I try and login under my existing account. I'll try and let it sit for awhile or something. Thansk
Hello, I just purchased the game today (retail cd +download option). My problem is once I install Stardock and register the game, I can't find out where to download. Also, Stardock keeps on saying login failed but the login information is exactly the same stuff as it was when I bought the game 15 minutes ago. I have owned galciv in the past and I may have used a different email. Could this be causing the problem?
emerich got fired, and then I think Chantz? from quicksilver took over. I was following the game for two years. It actuallly looked promising when Emerich was running things. Then QSI took over and decided to scrap everything emerich did and redo the whole thing. The result is the spreadsheet nightmare they call moo3 >:( ~SDC~

I'd also like ot see this. ~SDC~
I also think the resource starbases should be free. The 1.7 power idea sounds good, but it would definetly need to be adjusted for larger maps. ~SDC~
The rally point idea is a step in the right direction. Maybe then you could add a build queue to the starbases. So you don't have to keep picking the modules when you know you want a starbase to be an economic starbase, cultural base, etc. I think that alone would greatly cut down on micromanagement. later ~SDC~
how the hell did this become a Bush bashing contest. Oh, and Gore is a real winner too. He's the father of the internet you know. ~SDC~
actually, IG lists the game as masters of orion so they can read. I remember when the game was delayed for the fifteenth time there was a big discussion about it over on the moo3 boards ~SDC~
Nice. It would be very cool if this could be implemented in the game :) ~SDC~
I would like it too. It would give the game more atmosphere. Like wrath said, just include the base. I'll gladly add my own names.
you don't. They come at their own rate, helps if you keep morale high. But high morale equals low taxes. If your a new player, you'll lose your first couple of games just getting the feel for it. I lost my first 6 games, but I really suck
Has anyone gotten this message and won? It seems everyone who got the message got their ass kicked.
"First: You seem to misunderstand or do not know of the difference between SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM. " I know the difference between them. It's just the basic ideas are so similar that I consider them both the same thing. and now back to you falafel :p "I have posted above what i think of viewing these actions in "context"." were going to have to agree to disagree here then. There are alot of less than moral nations out there. If you make enemies with all
Large map size, and to be fair I got a small share of the availabe planets. Probably half of what all the other races got. The 8 resources should have evened things out, but instead their puttting me farther behind. I haven't played it out yet, but it doesn't look very balance to me. later
If some parts of that don't make sense, I apologize. I'm at work right now, and it takes me 2 hours to right one post. I might have lost focus in there someqwhere
I also love debating. debating leads to change for the better. Mud-slinging leads to problems. :) Verenti: Glad we can keep it civilized :) You are right, I tend to wander sometimes when I type responses to this type of thing. The point I was trying to make was that the countries opposing us were letting their personal and illegal dealing's get in the way of their judgement. The anti-terrorism thing - The root of all the hate for us down there is Israel. It's a holy war, and
And into the debacle i go . "Yes there is a difference, however, i wouldn't call it free press when people expressing views that are at odds with the main opinion gets fired when doing so or their privilages of visiting the pressroom gets withdrawn making their jobs impossible. One might even argue that this kind of control over the press is even more dangerous as the public thinks its getting free press thus making the propagande even more effective." No, there's a difference
Would it be possible to make it so that starbases on resources don't cost 5bc a turn. In my latest game, I had the ability to get alot of resources, 2 influence, 2 morale, a military and 3 technology. By the time I got them, my maintenance levels were enormous. It crippled me in the earlier game. Any other starbase I' m for charging for, but the resource ones should be free. It's my opinion, but I believe it would make it a little more fun. Thanks :) ~SDC~
"DblDamage - You probablly won't read this but I may be happy with my Social status, But I'm not happy with society, the corruption festering carcass of civilization where need is replaced by greed. I live in Canada, and we spend 10 billion dollars a year on holding criminals. If we placed the money into social welfare, education, etc. maybe we could prevent the crimes by educated out citizens better." Maybe you could, but maybe those criminals would just sit around and collect wel
must... stay..... out..... AHHHH " The US is a country reknown for their Propaganda skills "being second only to Hitler" and it shows (FoxNews, CNN.. and that's only the commerical side of things)" There is a difference between propaganda and a free press. Hitler and saddam had one news source, and that source was only there to provide what the government said. So when the germans lost an entire army group at stalingrad, they were strategically redeploying, not getting ther

it's in the abyss. I saw it sink down there a couple days ago :) ~SDC~
I think you would also need a ground attack value for those ships. I'd hate to see a 40 attack dreadnaught go after one of my planets. Interesting idea tho. I remember reading somewhere that planetary bombardments were a UP issue that came up. I never seen it tho. As a matter of fact, I've only seen the same 5 or 6.
