Reply to Diplomacy in Strategies Stardock Forums

Yeah it is a percentage.. It depends on your morality of your race and how the Aliens are. Altarians for example being Pure Good, if you happen to dip down to below 50 (look at your stats, click on social to view your morality rate) they will not trade a thing. Most of the time the Aliens will not give up weapons or a good trade bonus tech no matter how good diplomacy you have.

Excellent strategy suggestions NewfyScotian. Only difference with how I manage the empire is I never allow it to go negative. A few key points I never tried though.

Reply to Stargate Mod/TC in Mods Stardock Forums

Great ideas.. I sure want this Mod to become a reality. Producing all the ships may be a little bit of a problem but I am sure someone like TurgotZ could manage to make them. I am guessing though, it would best to check in with him in his forums at NeoTech Gaming Network. @PJ - Currently NeoTech has no problems with promoting Galciv as I am. I would not being doing what I am if I felt I would be breaking any laws. I plan to remain around for a very long time. ;p

Reply to Population in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I will not dispute the evil way of playing. I have only went evil a few times myself. It did seem to provide more points going evil, just seems that all races turn against you. :p You explained it much better then I did thanks. Of course you are obviously a much better player then I am judging from your medals. :D

Reply to Spend Rate slider question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

A good example of using the sliders to gain advantage is during the colonization phase. I usually put spending at 100%, increase taxes until just before the moral drops below 100%. This will give you a good population burst if you keep it there. Adjust your military to the max setting this will leave 20% for research and social engineering. Keep it at these settings until you feel you have colonized most all worlds. You will get colony ships every 4-6 turns. I always manage to

Reply to Stupid Newbie Question - Where is the Altarian Prophecy Installed? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Actually no this is not correct if you have the Totalgaming.net especially and if you place your games in another folder. It always installs in the program file in a folder called stardock. I have not been able to install it any place else even when I select to install it in my games folder. Just to cover all the bases if you also place games in another folder besides program files as I do. ;) NeoTech Gaming Network a sci-fi themed website @ http://www.neotechgami

Reply to Population in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi Freelancer101, Yes the problem you are experiencing is due to the tax issues most likely. In order to make your people happy, they will want lower taxes to keep money for themselves. ;) Keep them at 33% or below to make them happy as possible. Only time you can jack it up is during the colonization phase. ;) Evil choices can have reprocussions in your game when you meet other races. In order to maintain your evil ways you would need to research some evil techs that only Evi

Reply to Open Letters to Stardock - Please fix the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

J.T.Qwerk, good I am glad someone mentioned about the decaying score. I had 12,000 and now down too almost 6000. I have not been able to submit any scores at all past 10 games. I never tells me it made it or did not. No idea why either. The first 6 games I did not have one single Mod installed. :sniff!: Personally I feel the entire metaverse should be reset to zero everyone starting over. This would breath new life into people playing. It seems that many of the top players were also Be

Hi Farai I personally would love to see a Mod made based on that show. In fact there are many sci-fi shows that would be cool to convert into a Galciv Mod. :) NeoTech can provide you with forums of your own to post ideas about your Mod. You may choose to have one hidden and one open to the public for Mod development phase. Stop in and see what we can do for you. [Message Edited]

Reply to PC Games sales decline: Piracy vs. Quality? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I guess no one saw a complete computer line go belly up over pirating huh? I have been playing games since 1978 on the Atari 2600. After that I found out that they made a computer line in 1979. I bought the Atari 400 with 16K of memory that I upgraded to 32K. It had a flat membrane keyboard with a cassette storage. In 1981 I started up the Atari users group BBS of Syracuse New York. I found out quickly that games were being pirated and I cou

Reply to tech whoring in Strategies Stardock Forums

Ah, the best part of this game is comparing it to how it would really be meeting races like some of these. I play each game differently depending on how I start and how powerful I am. If I am not that powerful I go for trading techs to get ahead. If I am the power house in the quadrant, then I kick alien butt! ;p http://www.neotechgaming.com sci-fi themed website under construction

Reply to Differences between alien civs? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The main difference between all races is the mortality that have if AI is evil and you are good, they will not like you at all. If they happen to be more powerful then you, expect demands and later a war. The characteristics are quite pronounced I think, but that is my own personal opinion. :) http://www.neotechgaming.com
