Really? A shipyard improvement built after the ship produced from there will gain that improvement? I learn something everyday!

Yea, this goes along with what I have noticed, tech trading is easier for the most part, but getting money is down right impossible beyond 5-10 credits. I miss my alexians money whore:(

In a maso huge, I once started very close to the drengins, I cornered them into only 3 systems on a huge abundant and quickly took them out with 3 transports, a corvette I got from an anonymly and my hero :) I still lost though, huge hates me, i swear, ive lost like 5 games on it, but at least I got the satasfaction of crapping all over the drengin(normally my most painful opponant)

I eventually colonize the 13+ planets, and lately ive been playing abundant tiny, so there are more planets to colonize. I always select the evil choice on tiny, it only takes two of the more powerful evil choices to become at least chaotic evil. I also 'purchase' cships on tiny and put all my resources into teching rather then trying to build then normally, lets me grab a few more before the AI gets em all. Of course by the end of the game, all the p

Is it just me or sense .59 have the alexians stopped giving credits for techs? I think I just lost another crutch :)

Ellestar, I was at the forefront of trying to get the scoring system changed to not reward excessive milking. It is quite a bit better now, but yes, milking is still possible. If I was merely interested in milking scores I wouldnt play on masochistic as crippling are almost as high and about 10 times easier to get. After all Sergey has gotten 7100 for his best crippling score vs 7000 for my best masochistic. I actually believe the map scoring is no

Ive had AI's surrender to me about 3 times, to other AI's about 10 times. I also can detect no ryhme or reason behind the choice.

Reply to Tired the AI is cheating threads in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So because you cant demand more money then the AI has in their treasury, while they can demand more then you have, they are 'cheating'? Hum, thats a rather odd perspective, why dont you pretend that you can demand more money then they have but that they always will refuse. Same difference in the end.

Reply to The White Council Invitation in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Laugh, im not sure how much longer I can hold off Sergey either. I do believe masochistic is not worth the trouble point wise. In fact I am sick of gigantic masochistic. I do love tiny masochistic now though. To play crippling or not to play crippling, that is the question, oh well, I need 2 days to catch up with school work, lets see if Sergey can take the lead by then. Btw, very nice strategy sergey, its very pleasing to me to see that an

I have noticed AI's getting tech without the prequisites, AI's having impulse drive when the only ai's with cold fusion didnt have impulse(ie couldnt have gotten it in trade). [Message Edited]

The abundance is mentioned in both the 2nd thread in this forum and the thread you have to read to get the actual link to the game in the apolyton forum. And yea, it would have a very big impact on how you play :(

Reply to Request for "real earth" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well, there are only 5 slots for planets, changing this mechanic will be very difficult. Importing a seperate graphic for 'earth' might be doable but would require work. Creating 5 planets in your system with what ever prexisting graphics and any names that you want you can do yourself with mods(i believe) I would suggest you do the 5 inner planets.

I took a -PQ 24% morality choice on a 26 pq world, the world was still 26 PQ afterwards, did check after a turn as somethings dont always update immediatly. Which is probley a second bug When you get the research bonus morality choice it doesnt update until the next turn while production and PQ effects are instant.

Repeatable crash bug. Don't purchase a wonder from a tech you don't have, it seems to crash the game(when the turn cycles). At least thats what I am assuming is causing the crash, as its the only odd thing about the game. I have a save of it, crashes 100% of the time. Get access to the wonder via capturing a planet. Was half done and I decided to finish it before some other civ built it. After hitting turn, CTD.

In my last gigantic game, I found 6 military resources in my area. Decided to try to fight my way to victory. Two races surrendered early, one to me and one to the dregin. I did a ton of trading with the acreans and they were just huge, as big as me and I had a good 40%. The alterians were small, but declared war on me early when they couldnt even reach me, lost a few scouts. The dregins had most of the remianing 20 percent and they loathe
