im actually going to try that -dont think its going to work, but i have never seen what happens when you loose a game -i always stop playing before i lose.

Have an option in the diplomacy screen where you can ask someone to leave a sector. such as, i can ask, or bribe the Yor to remove their frigates from one of my sectors.

program the AI's to be able to use the "make peace with..." option in the diplomacy screen. i never had an AI asking me to make peace with someone else. Also, program the AI's to be able to use the "Attack" option in the diplomacy screen. i also never had an AI bribe me to attack someone,

Reply to Strange diplomatic behavior in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

it would be much easier if the arceans just simply used the "make peace with..." option. if only they said "i will give you 500 BC if you will promise to make peace with our allies, the YOR", instead of wageing a loosing battle against me. the "make peace with..." option is already in the diplomacy screen, but it appears that none of the AI's have been programmed to use it.

EBZeroMatrix >>> so thats what a "very evil" looks like, your the very first "very evil" i seen! before the most evil smiley fice i seen was the caotic evil one. Question: is there a "pure evil" smiley face AND a "very evil" smiley face? or are they the same?

Reply to Strange diplomatic behavior in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

you can get all the techs, money and influence from them if they want to surrender even before you fight them -which is kinda cheesey. thats what happened to me, they declared war on me like 10 turns in a row, by the time i finished off the last yor, i had all the arceans techs, influence, and money.

wow, i never new the torians could be so harsh. i never had them say that to me yet.

Reply to Does the AI really know where all the resources are? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

thats not too fair, too bad there isnt a diplomacy option where you can ask the aliens to remove its presents from a sector like in SE3.

Reply to Im a Newbie at this game and i need help in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

stick with a medium map on the easiest difficulty -small and tiny are too unforgiving if you make a mistake, and the large and gigantic would make things too hard to keep track of if you are new. at the beginning, colonize any planet with 15+ quality that you can get. dont worry about building any military ships -no one will attack you for quite a few turns. when the other AI's start harasing you by asking for money or whatnot, then start building your warships. you dont want your re

Reply to Nice neighbours, those Drengins! :D in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i dont remember any "red ball" message. maybe i wasnt really paying attention when they sent it. the alterians at least have the "questionable" holographic movies that they send me ;) but the torians and arceans never really say anything witty.

Reply to Strange diplomatic behavior in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

same thing happened with me, except that i declared war on the Yor. The arceans didnt stop bothering me till i took over the last Yor planet -and also, i didnt have to kill a single arcean ship, they wanted out of the war they declared with me even before i attacked any of their ships since i was so much more powerfull then them. i see what you mean, they need to put in a "make peace with..." option for the AI. it would have made much more sense if the Arceans bribed us to make peace

Reply to Nice neighbours, those Drengins! :D in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i have to say the drengin have to be the funniest of the AIs. The ones that are the most boring have to be the Arceans, i dont think they made me chuckle yet. The torians are kinda boring too.

Reply to The ultimate in trade in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

one thing i dont like is that when you trade a tech to a major, they dont give you too much money for it, BUT when you try to buy a tech off of them, they are asking for huge ammounts of money! (by they way, i always make sure that im the one with diplomatic translators, but they dont seem to help too much)

Reply to Playing nuetral alignment in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

one thing i noticed is that it is pretty hard to get allies on neutral, even if you are doing a lot of trade. i was always expecting that maybe the Arceans would want to ally with me due to our same allignment, but that wasnt so. it seems that whenever i play neutral, it is easier to get the torians and the drengins to ally with me then it is for the arceans to ally with me.

the worst is when they send you a virtual hug, and talk about how they want to snuggle you :p

Reply to Is it really worth it to choose an influence bonus when creating your race? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

how does luck work? does it mean that i will find more ships? or is it that i will more likely get the good events where one of my planets turns out to be owned by the precursurs?

Reply to strange? moves allowed changed on me in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

yea, but i dont blow up stars with my terrorstars, i instead use them as cultural bombs, so i dont think i will get sick of this bug for awhile. :)

Reply to Star System Influence in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

what? different stars types have different influence abbilities? do other coloured stars have other abilities? is there one which increases reasearch or one for military?

Reply to Problem with Terror Stars in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

yea, but remember that terrorstar bug. my last game i had a terrorstar that could move 8 spaces in a turn, due to that bug. my terrorstar was actually faster then my constructors since they could only move 6 spaces :D i really hope they dont fix that bug

Reply to Must be the only person NOT to get his GalCiv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well, there is always the credit card info. if you paid online, then you probably paid with cedit card, and with a credit card, you have can have a detailed history of what you paid for with it by just calling your creditcard company up. and with that information, you can then approach stardock that you paid for the game, and that you didnt recieve your CD.

Reply to Which way do you prefer to win? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i like to win culturally, building lots of culturally maxed starbases tend to result in a pretty easy victory. the tech victory wasnt too difficult for me. i actually made myself reasearch everything in the tech tree before i finished researching the "final frontier". i only wish i submitted that game after i upgraded to version 1.05. i just submited an old game on a large map with simple difficulty that i never bothered finishing till today. i got a 6000 score on it, even though

Reply to Problem with Terror Stars in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

terror stars are great when they are maxed out with cultural mods. i dont even bother blowing stars up anymore, i just park them in an aliens sector and wait for the planets to defect.

why would an alien race perfer a lower quality planet, with 1 being a diamond?

Reply to strange? moves allowed changed on me in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

ok, thanks for the feedback. i guess i wouldnt call that terrorstar thing a bug, more of a nice bonus :)

Reply to strange? moves allowed changed on me in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

i mean "terror star", i have a habit of calling them "deathstars" instead. also, all my other ships moves dont seem to be effected. only my constructors, and my only terror star seem to be acting funny.
