Mystikmind: Interesting that you see no value in the Malevolent tree. The Benevolent path that gives an extra tile is my fifth focus, if I get that far. I think it is odd that if you set up your custom race as "Benevolent", you are still able to get the other ideologies with no penalty. It makes more sense that the Benevolent techs would be cheaper for that race, Pragmatic maybe 50% more and Malevolent 100% more. Has anyone completely filled up all the

Crap. That was the original post, at the top of the second page. Nevermind. Except on the Ideology strategy.

[quote quoting="post"] Having a blast playing this after a long time away. I played a few games with the AI set to gifted, and found that pretty comfortable, so I figured I'd step it up to Genius. Well, holy moly, Immense Galaxy with 9 opponents, I'm just barely keeping my nose above water, and only doing that by being a real kiss-a$$ to my vastly more powerful galactic neighbours. I'm the Iridium, and the Krynn are causing me all sorts of grief, taking planets and destroying

Stimpson: That must be satisfying. Makes you feel like you accomplished something. Mystikmind: The yellow diamond anomalies are Artifacts? Yes, they will sometimes do a full tech of any size, and the Capsules will sometimes do 25% on your current tech. That, and money, is why i try to get as many survey ships out there as possible.

That is pretty much how I play too, erischild. More info on my game: I finally got to my first United Planets meeting (turn 192) and after electing the chair, i moused over the other races, which include the minors, and the tooltip states that they are "At War" with me. So, the UP has them at war, but in the game they don't attack and will even trade with me? Sounds like a bug that should be fixed. How do I report that?

Your " 'incremental difficulty levels'" idea is a good one. But it seems that the problem is baked in. I still don't understand why they aren't attacking me early on, as they do to you guys. Any one else use a custom race? I've never played one of the canned races.

I had a few balanced games in GC2, and that was fun to play. Not yet in GC3. I guess we can hope the developers work to fix this. One thing I noticed is different in the new game is that you cannot set the game to randomly determine the number of major races. You have to pick 9 or 5 or 3 at set up. The galaxy is supposed to be a mystery, so why do I know how many aliens are out there? That too was fun. Or am I missing a setting?

The other two games were on Genius, and then the lower intelligence before that.

Reply to Am I doomed? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm having the opposite problem. I have a custom race, that is not likable, am playing an immense galaxy on Genius level, and despite the other races demanding that I give them things, and my consistent refusal, none of them will attack me. Of the 5 major races I've encountered, I'm the weakest with a 258 rating compared to the others from 360 to 1312 and they are all furious. I have a minimal military, mostly just the ships from anomalies and a couple capital sh

[quote]anti matter missils I cannot say enough about how these will keep you out of war. The way the boost your military rating is great. Helps to keep the AI from delcaring war on you.[/quote] I like them too, but when you're being crushed, it'd be nice to know the specific techs so you can get them fast. Anyone know?

I have the Yor on the ropes after they declared war on me :D , but I don't have the option yet to build transports so I can conquer their planets. Is there a way to speed this up? Or do I need some specific technology? ~SDC~
