Reply to help me save my empire. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you are playing as a pacifist then it is in you best interested to sue for peace. That means bribe your way to peace. Offer cash, tech, ships, planets, as soon as you get peace send trade ships to that AI. Trading will help enforce the peace. Another way may be to bribe other AI to war with the ones at war with you. Another way may be to sue for peace with one of the attacking AI and have it go to war with the other attacking AI. If you do not want to sue for p

Reply to Metaverse Empires in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]If I should join an empire, why? (and why yours? :) )[/quote] Some of the reasons you might want to join an empire ... You like to participate in a bit of banter back and forth You like the feeling of belonging to a team Many teams have a theme ... Most teams offer a friendly rivalry to the other teams. Many teams compete for position in the metaverse and thats why they would like to have a new player join them. Which shou

[quote]PS: you could always start another player like Sooooo many have done.. but i call that cheating tooo.. I still only have 1 player on here.. unlike atleast 4 others i know of... who have 2-3 maybe even more [/quote] I was going to start another player but I felt that it was not right. I do not think I would call it cheating though. If Stardock allows it then it is not cheating. What made it not right for me though is the metaverse doesn't do a recalc on every one that st

Reply to Breaking the 'normal' barrier. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]I have mastered Maso, several times, but I much prefer the 'Normal' level. You have the freedom to try all the Governments and abilities.[/quote] The Marquesa De Sade and others mirror my own view as well. There are many published strategies in the Strategies forum by myself and others that show how to beat MASO. Over time I worked up to MASO and I find that the most fun I had playing the game was setting the AI to normal. When you do this you can more easily experim

Reply to What do you gain from mining a Military (red cone) resource? in Strategies Stardock Forums

[quote]did you verify that the AI looses the advantage in the same turn and that you get it in the same turn? [/quote] I have never verified it but I have often wondered. If the AI doesn't loose the advantage in the same turn that is still ok. There is a benifit to destroying / taking over the military resource.

Reply to What do you gain from mining a Military (red cone) resource? in Strategies Stardock Forums

When I am about to attack an AI I check to see if he has any military resources mined. Before I attack his ships I destroy the mined military resource. You want every advantage you can get when attacking an AI. If I am well prepared I will take it over and mine it myself in the same turn to get those benefits.

Reply to How can i get money?????????????? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Good points from both PP and W2000. One key thing to remember and I am repeating it from both posters is becareful what social improvements you are building. Anything that has a maintenance cost over 3 needs to be considered carefully. The only things that I would normally build that has a maintenance cost over 3 would be moralle boosters but only if the morale was heading south. You have to try to keep the populations morale over 55 otherwise you start to lose your tax ba

Reply to How do I read the map? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

One thing that can help is to turn on the sectors button. This will color the sectors that are owned. Your sectors will be blue, dregin red and arcean yellow and so on. This button is located just below the map. Another thing is to zoom in the map, at the top of the map there is a + and - button that will zoom in/out the map. I like to turn on the show production button because that will highlight all known planets in the color of ownership. If you continue to have

Reply to Master of Orion 2 and GC : the differences. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There are many similarities between Moo2 and Galciv. I think that you will find that galciv has a much better political and economic features. There are more victory conditions in Galciv than Moo. You can only play humans but you get to pick your bonuses similar to creating a race in Moo2. Research is slightly different but not in a bad way. Espionage / spying is better in Moo2 in my opinion as well as destabilization. Ship building in moo2 is better and

We had a cat that used to like going into the garbage can inside the house. We loaded a water pistol and at first it worked but then the cat realized it didn't hurt. Then we loaded the water pistol with some hot sauce mixed in water (very diluted, I luved my cats). Guess what, that worked. It started associating the hot sauce with garbage and left the garbage alone.
