I only needed 14 years more - Alliance victory in 2202 - no need to wipe out the universe ;)

OK, forget it, I´m an idiot! I just looked at Javascout´s research tree and found out that I missed to research Nano Frequency Electronics. Si tacuisses philosophus mansisses ;)

Reply to Research tree problem? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Maybe it´s because the save game is an earlier 1.05 version. Anyway, I started the June game again and will post what happens.

Oh, and I´d like to add that noone demanded tribute from me. That´s nice, but seems very strange, because that never happened before, and I tend to be slow in my military buildup.

Research tree problem? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hello! Today I updated to 1.05.071 and then started the "June game of the month". After a few years I bought "Zero Gravity Research" from an alien race(don´t remember who), which should enable "Brain Wave Mapping" and "Organic Piecing" as future research options. Well, these two tech options didn´t show up for me... Several years have passed now, I researched other techs, but this part of the tree seems to be dead. Oh, and those and further techs don´t show up in the diplomatic

Hmm, a (dumb) question about this hardcore/ironman rule: This is a rule of honor, or is there a setup option hidden in the game? GxR [Message Edited] [Message Edited]

Reply to Good or EVIL!? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I like the evil part better. Those +30% PQ improvements and +40% starship/production bonuses are so very satisfying during the colonization phase... :) Besides....slaves...you can never have enough of them!! :D

Hey, a great scenario! I have a good chance to be the worst contestant! ;)

[quote]I don't think it makes sense to "know" how much an alien race is profiting through trade with us.[/quote] That´s true, but we would like to see the profit we are making through trade routes established by the alien races...so we can better decide who is going to be attacked.;) [Message Edited]

Maybe you haven´t explored the part of the galaxy yet where the star is located. In that case, the star would belong to an alien race.

Oh, I forgot: The only overwhelming problem I encountered as sub-neutral is the event we all know where a load of planets defects alltogether. In that case I´m always too frustrated so I reload ;p

Scenario editor coming? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hello! According to earlier posts here I wanted to ask if there is still a chance to find a scenario editor in one of the coming updates this summer(-->expansion?)?

Reply to Metaverse data: It is easier to be good in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]If I'm in a strong position, I usually just go on and play evil[/quote] That´s the point. Being good is suicide(for me, as an amateur player ;)) if strong Drengins or Yor are nearby. They don´t really bother me when I have two nice +40% starship bonus planets for free at hand. EBZeroMatrix: Most of my games are on large maps. But the "problem" is that an evil decision lowers my alignment points by ~30, whereas choosing a good path only raises the value by one or two

Reply to Metaverse data: It is easier to be good in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In the rush phase of the game, I also use to take high PQ, research and starship bonuses. Well, after taking three of them, I´m stuck as a diabolical character, and I can´t reverse that through the rest of the game, even if I always choose the good options in the upcoming events. Hmm...but what exactly makes the game easier being good? I mean, what counters the "evil" bonuses?

Reply to Game Play Examples in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes, I also read and enjoyed them. They were very helpful when I was learning the game mechanics. Any new episodes would be rather....refreshing :)

...other galaxy shapes would also be nice: spiral or circle for example(as seen in Spaceward Ho!)

I bought my copy from "Software Dschungel". It is located in Austria, but they ship to Germany as well.

Reply to Availability in Europe in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

That´s the problem in Europe: Galciv is not advertised, there are only few reviews, and it is hard to get. The guy in the first store where I asked about Galciv had no idea what I was talking about. Other Strategy First titles are available, Legion for example even has a German manual.

The game itself and the saved games are the same version?

Reply to The purple star in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It is said they contain very habitable planets, or at least have a higher probability to house them. In my games however ther was nothing special about them so far. Just planets between 15 and 18.

Reply to Question about ship combat values in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I see...in fact the Altarians were mining at least one military resource. Somehow I always thought this resource only gives ground soldiers a bonus. Anyway, the game is over now, I´ve been overrun, but I was an idiot. I started missile production too late...relied too much on the more flexible but expensive ships

Question about ship combat values in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hello! My situation is like this: I´m playing with 1.03A in a medium sized galaxy with a bright AI. My empire is an evil aligned war party, and I´m at war with the Altarians and Torians. Obviously, I´m superior in technology, because I can´t request other techs in the diplomatic screen, and the stats list me as number one as well. Right now, we have a big Dreadnaught slaughtering around my planets...so far so good... But what I don´t understand is why the Altarian´s Dreadnau
