Reply to Campaign finance reform isn't reform in Politics JoeUser Forums

Something strikes me about this discussion. It seems the problem lies how to control the campaigning. I see 2 problems that caused the first one: 1)Education of voters. I think the problem lies in educating the voters. I believe this is about starting with the kids, school shouldn't be solely focused on teaching kids "facts". In my opinion it is equally (if not more) important to teach kids to be critical towards the informa

Reply to Need tips for a technology victory in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Warning, this is the victory type, that scores the lowest on the metaverse, but its still fun to play for. I would go for rare/huge. Starting picks: Populist party. +1 speed, +? diplomacy and +? trade. The speed is needed because it will give you an advantage in the planet race, and it will make your freighters reach their target faster (when creating the trade route). The diplomacy bonuses are needed because, i would want to keep the AI's to war against each other (to

Reply to A Maso Small Map Guide For All The Family in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just a thought: Assumptions: no more than +5% PQ starting picks has been chosen On a PQ 15 planet, building soil will bring you from from 15 to 16/17, building habitat after that will bring the planet to 18/19. According to my observations this should (no matter what pop you have on the planet) give you an additional 2 income and a morale boost of +15% (not 1.2/1.49 data). Since a bank has the maintenance cost of 2 and it gives you a boost to income of 20% you would need a

[quote]Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg, as a UK citizen, you can apparently only risk buying the game online, with all the hazards that implies, or make out an expensive purchase order in dollars to buy it mail order from America! The moral for UK citizens appears to be obvious, my friend. We are second class citizens for American games. Properly marketed, the GalCiv expansion pack should have been obtainable and would have been bought by me in my local shop or at least by mail order in the UK, as

[quote]Evil civs don't care about your alignment[/quote] This is not completly true. If you play a game as pure good, you will see your relations with Evil AI's drop as your morality rises. I agree though that being Evil, doesn't mean that the Evil AI's will naturaly like you (as it is the case for good aligment and good aligned AI's)

I'm not sure how the [quote]We also accept checks or money orders in US funds [/quote] is to be understood, but it could mean a check in USD. In other words you can get your bank to issue a check in USD (from your account). They will most likely charge a fee for issueing the check.

Reply to GC: Altarian Prophecy Beta 4 (1.49J) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have realized that the main reason i don't see a problem in the higher cost of cultural starbases is probably, because i allways chase (and trade for) all the influence ressources i can get my hands on (on huge 3-5). Maxing this ressources out normally gives ne a cultural boost, that makes me 2-3 times stronger (in influence) than the AI's.

I don't know for sure, but... the to get a cultural victory you don't have to flip the AI's planets. Even if you aren't able to get a large cultural margin in the AI's most heavyli populated sectors, one should still be able to win a cultural victory. It looks as if the changes were meant to avoid massive flipping of the AI's planets, to get a military victory (i have used this alot myself - in earlier versions, that is) [Message Edited]

Robert Viener and Kevin the Kitten, when you click campaign on the main menu there should be a small "reset" button in the lower right hand corner, this will allow you to load autosave and in game saves (campaign save games have their own save-game folder)
