Attempts to force major to make peace with minor always results in "No". I became so pissed I selected trade embargo. I know this hurt them economically, them more so than me. After a few turns I went back and selected "make peace with...". I refused to trade. Why should I? This has happened before with the same two races. I wasn't going to be milked (I bought peace once before) and I wasn't going to let them indefinitely continue to affect my economy by destroying the minor's merchant vessels.

If MOO3 got one thing right it was the fleet structure. Capital ships surrounded by support ships. In GC as the game progresses, anything less than a Battleship is pointless. I use Dreadnoughts for colony defense! #40 by Citizen Benjamin Fan... I agree! A fleet of Corvettes, oh lets say 100, all get wiped out and cause little if any dammage to a single Battleship or even Battle Hammer. Riiiighhht! While I miss designing my own ships, and commanding them individually, I could l

#40 by Citizen Benjamin Fan... Threats don't work when you're a nice species... Now I know I never got to reply as you suggest but every time I tried by selecting what I want, which wasn't much "Smokum peacepipe wif dem", they always replied... "Some say you are destined... but we will not...". Useless diplomacy. ~SDC~

Alien Tech Victory? Whazat? Ancient Tech Victory? More use for a Survey Ship. Land on a planet and search for Lifeforms, Mineral Deposites, or Rare Earths (etc.) that could be used to enhance you Empire (this would require landing a colony ship or Starbases would need to be allowed to utilize the planet as a resource). There could be conceivable moral consequences as well. Or maybe search for Ancient Artifacts, Civilizations, clues for locations of Ancient Military Installations con

OK now I had one (CTD). Well these are just minor... The Income Distribution lock images, when a game is reloaded, are remembered but their states are not. This means that an economic aspect (Social, etc.) will change when a different aspect is adjusted although the image indicates locked. Ya folla? :) UP: Limit Starbase modules to 2, 4, 6 (8?), none. Well even the AI thinks this is stoopid. :notsure: Either remove this UP vote or make it more realistic as it is simply

There is a population cap of 100000. This cap appears to be for all planets regardless of PQ. This makes no sense. Why would a Gaia planet PQ>22 suddenly stop making babies and have no morale problem? Towards the end game when all morale buildings are complete, when your tax rate is 26% or less, and when there are no more technologies to improve morale, planets having a PQ of 21 or less WILL begin to lose moral as their population continues to increase. As far as I'm concerned this is a

Citizen JaxomCA Veteran Maxtipherous Citizen DarkPaladin Thanx for the clarification and help. One thing I have been doing wrong is not selling tech. I have always perceived this to be an advantage not to be readily shared or given up. Then I tried it... :D ~SDC~

Typo: (Pirates barter for their freedom) "... Once we've found it and sold it, let the go - with a stern warning..." This should read "...let them go...". Trade Route Espionage Typo: "...By looking at who's their doing trade with..." should read "...By looking at who they're doing trade with..." It's Jan 2193. I have yet to see any evidence that the "Creative" ability works! Still! Amount in Treasury will not update until the "Domestic Policy" button is selected or th

So many posts so little time. Don't know if any of these have been mentioned or if anyone is still monitoring this thread... They surrendered to me... One was building a Dreadnaught. I haven't researched this tech yet. It was near to completion so I let it continue although I did not realize at the time that I did not have this tech. When the Dreadnaught was completed another was placed in the queue automatically. I dare not deselect it as this ship is not available in the build list.<b
