[quote]Yes, you can even set all your trade routes between the same two systems if you so choose. Just that a war could really bust your economy up if all your eggs were in one basket.[/quote] Hmmm. Or, consolidate all your trade with one of the minors. For one, you don't share the wealth with The Enemy. Of course, you don't get any trade brownie points, but that's a different thread. Ah-ha you say, but what about later in the game when the other majors start picking off all

Reply to Colonization Blues in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, I'm sure you'll get some much more insightful responses, but for what it's worth, here's my approach: At game start, set your spending to 100% and your taxes to whatever keeps you at 100% morale (no reason to go below that level, is there?). Set your defence spending to 100%, 0%-0% on social and research. At this rate you can pop out a colony ship every 2 turns or so. I also lease two colony ships immediately. Although, having written all this up, I wonder if I should

What you've described is comparable to what I've fallen in to except... [quote]2. When habitable planets are exhausted, switch all construction to constructors.[/quote] With the expansion pack, the new anomalies make this a bit more of a risky venture, depending on how lucky you are with the placement of little green eggs. Starbases become shark food pretty quickly and it's more than a little irritating. MC> ~SDC~

Reply to 1.09[b].001 Bug Report Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So, the Torians tried to shake me down for 942bc. Of course, I'm currently in debt to the tune of -448bc. Now, I don't know if it's a bug, but *I* can't try to extort other civs if they're in the hole. I seem to remember this issue discussed before, but I can't remember if it was passed over as a feature, or simply not fixed... MC> ~SDC~

[quote]Everything was fine until the Altairans declared war on me.[/quote] Freaking Altarians. I bet they even went on about how much better they were, and how they needed to rid the galaxy of "filth" or some such.

Freakin' Altarians... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Freaking Altarians and their goody-two shoes attitude. Culturally superior? Luring other civilizations over to their "better way"? No more superior than my Dreadnoughts. In fact quite a bit less superior. How's that for an attitude adjustment? The Altarians and their Fundamentalist brethern are nothing but painted images on the sides of my capital ships now, heh heh. Sorry, had to vent. The *nerve* of them. I've never had a game get under my skin like this.... LOL ~

Reply to space monsters in Strategies Stardock Forums

[quote]Had a zoo escape last night with three monsters. Used one of my ships to lure them into AI territory and watched havoc ensue.[/quote] Hmmm. I tried this once. Damned things came to a stop as soon as they entered my enemy's sector. After trying *forever* to continue to lure them with my scout , I checked my speed modifiers. Sure enough, I had built sufficient starbases in that sector with the -1 Enemy Speed module that the Space Monsters didn't have *any* movement points. The

[quote]It works great on my system:pII400256 meg ram8 meg ati rage pro 3d video card.[/quote] Hmmm. I have it running on a K6-II/333, 160 MB, with a 16 meg AIW. It. Runs. Slowly. But, it runs. It could even be considered playable. I didn't even bother removing the movie files. However, I didn't try a game beyond "Medium" size, so your milage may vary. MC> ~SDC~
