Reply to New player with some questions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What did confuse me at the beginning is that the "Mining" category on the bottom does contain modules which increase military and social production. This is the same thing the modules in the "Economic" category do. These effects are only active on planets in the same sector. Only when you build the starbase on a galactic ressource (these colored minerals) you can build mining modules here. These are effective civilization wide and can be very very helpfull. (You already gain 5%

Reply to mods permitted in metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

All Stardock certified mods should be fine. I found only one exception. When you use more than one mod and your planet quality ability gets above 40% (i.e. your society ability, not the local planet PQ boosters, you can check that in the "Domestic policy -> Stats" screen. There are parties, improvements and technologies which improve PQ.) you get a abnormal flag, i.e. zero points in Metaverse. Not certified mods are usually fine as well. I did not have problems yet. Does anyone have a e

When you follow the tips you can catch up with the AI up to "Intelligent" without problems. The keys are: - keep moral at 100% at the beginning to get the doubled population growth - diplomacy. i.e. only research what nobody has and exchange it clever (trade with the minors first, then try to get techs only one AI has etc.) - at the beginning concentrade your little ressources i.e. 100% military until you got enough colony ships, when you need a tech try to get it in one turn etc.

Reply to Explanations about some metaverse behaviors in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Aging is still a problem. I lost score after submitting two 60k games. I know that this is normal and can happen. But others who don't submit anymore do not loose points for month. Only active players do loose points. Does anybody know if the Metaverse recalculation was a singular action or if it is done on a regular basis. And if so what is the period?

Hi Zerg_Food, what about joining an empire? There are several nice empires here and some of them are still active :D http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GE Could it be that the force is with you? Maybe the Jedi Republic is the right place for you. http://www.galciv.com/metaverse/empires.asp?id=336 http://jedi.galciv.org/ But be warned the dark side of the power is very present. Actually we have several Sith in our ranks. ;p

Reply to A few things... in Strategies Stardock Forums

To become the tech leader you need a diplo bonus. I always choose it in the start options. Tech boni are irrelevant, I try to get starbases on those ressources later. At the beginning I'm very bussy with colonizing. I don't research anything. When I got some free ressources I only research Communication and Universal Translator. When all the colony ships are on the way I look through all AIs (including minors) and make a list off all techs they have. Then I re

Reply to Will this run on my meager PC? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yes I forgot to mention that you should switch of the auto save option :SURPRISED: This is the most important step. Save when you feel it is necessary or when you need to wash you hands anyway ;p I did only play two or three games on gigantic maps and yes, the turns did take some time in the end game. But I still did enjoy it. With hughe it was a lot better and I did play many games on hughe with the options mentioned above. And I did have only 192 MB and a K6-III+ @

Reply to Will this run on my meager PC? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't agree with Peace Phoenix. (This does not happen very often since he's one of the most experienced and helpfull persons here.) On your PC even hughe should not be a problem. Just gigantic is a bit too heavy in the late game. But you could still give it a try. You need to switch off all the "follow ship", animate and explosions options. I personally run this scenario for a long time. Another tip which helped me a lot on big maps once you got some speed b

Reply to planet quality dropping in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

And there are some mods with technologies/wonders/projects which increase your civilization PQ ability (don't mix it up with the local PQ ability due to Habitat improvement etc., these effect add up). You can look up your abilities in the Domestic Pocilcy -> Stats area. But be carefull, civilization PQ ability above 40 % will lead to anomalous scores in Metaverse, i.e. you can't submit your game.
