Reply to New GalCiv player in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]A Question, do you recommend me getting the expansion now or waiting til i get good at the game before hand?[/quote] If you plan to get the AP pack you may as well get it now. The AP has a few new features that you might like such as campaign and scenerios a couple of extra races, some new ships. The scoring has been tweaked so that you get slightly more score than the standard version of galciv. If you are not sure about Galciv then perhaps you should stay with the v1.

Carielf, have you found out why the anomalies are disapearing when you do a reload of a saved game? Is there something to do with the anomolies that is not saved when a saved game happens? I see the anomolies disappear on almost every game I play. Usually happens after 3 - 4 years worth of play. My auto save is set to 5 years. I do save the game manually as well as autosaves. If I have determined that I have made a tactical mistake I will reload a previous save

Reply to What actions flag a game to be worth ZERO metaverse points in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]If you do use the cheat by turning it on at the start of the game also prevents your score from being accepted by the Metaverse[/quote] This is only partly true. If you use the cheat during the game for instance to see where all the planets are then reload your game with the cheat disabled you are ok. Do not save your game with the cheat enabled. Once you do that you have cheated as far as the game is concerened.

Reply to MASO Small/Rare/Tight - strategy review in Strategies Stardock Forums

[quote]Really, does that work? I thought that Brad had put in code to try to prevent people from swinging from evil to good & vice versa. [/quote] You can do it on a very long game without the Saints & Sinners mod but the S&S mod makes it a lot easier. But you have to remember that the penalties are a lot worse when choosing to go good. Almost every game I start out evil and slowy move my way to good.

Reply to MASO Medium/Rare/Tight - Strategy review in Strategies Stardock Forums

There are several techs that I do get later on that allow me to build morale and economic boosters. I was getting tired typing ;) Medium is a little trickier starting out but I found that it was easier once I had my pattern down. You really have to hustle to find the AI and start trading wtih them. That is the key to my strategy.
