Please start a British Empire, so the Irish and Scottish empire...oh and the IRA can be created...hahaha. Less becoming 'Galactic' more 'Nationalistic' civ...however, I would like to see the Union Jack and Irish.

Reply to Do you find yourself playing the same each time? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I usually play good-guy, cause I notice that halfway through the game either the Alterians or the green-guys, get pretty big. But game play definitely changes depending on who my neighbors are. Things I've done so far: 1.)After reading posts here and seeing that it really doesn't change my alignment. I attack any and all minor races and take them over. 2.) Militarily I will wipe out one race (opposite my alignment), just to make the end game easier to manage and expand

Reply to Starbase Maint Idea Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"I vote for 'starbase support network'." I don't think this is such a good idea. 1.) Part of the race for galacy dominace is resource control. It takes the fun out of sending your survey ship to search for resources and trying to get the resource before another race does. 2.) It's a pain in the butt when playing AI at higher levels. And weaker races will never be able to create starbases. Of course my thought may change once I try playing with the new rules.

Reply to Starbase Maint Idea Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"#23 by Veteran forceinfinity - 5/8/2003 3:39:40 AM I like what Keith suggested, but with the following modification Why not also have starbases cost more as they are further away from the nearest owned planet (as they would be a bit more difficult to keep "supplied" as it were)" good idea and add as your sector influence grows the cost of sb away from your home reduces. It seems ridiculous to have a starbase on the other side of the galaxy cost the same as one by your h

Reply to Trade goods/wonders - AI cheats? Capturing? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Suggestion: I have never had a problem getting the tech I wanted, but the highest level I've played is Normal. When you start your game. Figure out who your immediate neighbors are and put all money into researching techs if you are safe. When you get the tech you need for Gal. Stock Exchange, make sure your highest PQ planet builds it and switch funds into building social and reduce tech spending, but not to zero. Make sure you have very little spending on military at this point.

Reply to Declaring War in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Have a constructor buid a space station in their territory and build culture additions on it. The opposing race will send you a warning that you are trying to culturally assimilate them and they want your space station. Tell them to piss off and they will eventually declare war on you. Also become evil and your relations with the good guys will go down hill and they will 'out of the blue' declare war on you. Something like 'your race needs to be wiped off the galaxy'...try different things t

Most Powerful ship is Surveyer in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I will get complete stats later and repost, but at about midway through my game, the surveyor was being attacked but no damage, infact it destroyed enemy battleship. Eventually my surveyor was so tough that I could take it around destroying fully developed space stations and dreadnaughts. My own dreadnaughts couldn't destroy a spacestation without taking significant damage, but the surveyor...maybe 20 hp of damage of 160 total hps. Now everytime I play a game, I have 2 surveyors running around

Reply to Drengin are just absurd! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

"Well no wonder the Drengin are peeved.. you all keep misspelling their races name! I would be cross to. " Within the game there is the spelling "Drengin" and "Dregin"...personally I like "Dregin"...sounds evil

Choosing scenarios in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

How complicated would this be? Just a suggestion for future release. Before you start a galaxy you can choose how you want your computer opponents to win. Examples: 1. You can set the Dregin, so they will try to win by conquoring all races. This may not be fair for the Dregin and since this is a scenario, depending on their intelligence level have them start of with extra weapons technology. Kind of like an Evil Empire vs. the Rebels. 2. You can choose which races you want to pla

'The Terraformer' in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Before getting 'The Terraformer' why not colonize all planets which are rated 14? Good idea? Probably double the number of planets you own? Also is it good to colonize on non yellow stars, like planet 14 on a green star? do the stars make a difference in production or morale? Thanks, J
