You can choose different combat tactic on the attack screen. They cost a severak thousand BC and can decrease the planet PQ or destroy some improvements. In the library are some mods available with additional tactics ... You should form a fleet of your transports. This way you only need to pay once for the tactic. One variation is to invade with a fleet of a insufficient number of transports and use one of these bad PQ decreasing tactics. When you loose the negative ef

Speed acceleraters should not affect mini frighters >:( I hope that this is different in GC2. This way you should not use trade and acceleration modules in the same sector i.e. you can never use speed accelerators in sectors where mini frighters pass by. Speed acceleraters do not affect terror stars. Thus it gets even worse when you want to use the Trade Terror Star: http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GS&id=123185 [Message Edited]

Reply to Is it possible to increase occurrence of random events? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

@CrusherX7: You can destroy your own colony. There is a button on the planet screen. @KSesler: What you can do is to colonize low PQ planets. When I have terraforming wonder etc. I frequently colonize even PQ 12 planets (they need to get them at last to PQ 15, otherwise you have this 5BC panelty per month). But when it is near the end and I need some events, I even colonize lower planets to get the saintly morality. I have installed the saints and sinners mod to reach

Reply to Transport Cheese in Strategies Stardock Forums

I buy transports from time to time. I can be very handy. But I never thought of giving them the ships to get them loaded. Nice idea :D For the log. When someone reads this you need to keep in mind that: - on higher levels the AI is very easily obset when a you have warships in their sectors. - when you plan to buy a couple of ships, buy them in one step. When you already have warships near by their planets (i.e. from your first deal) they will refuse another deal

For the windowed version you need to do two things. First your must set your color depth (in the windows settings for your desktop it is named color quality) of your screen to 16 bit. Then create a shortcut for your galciv.exe and add a w after galciv.exe, i.e. it should look like "C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming.net\AltarianProphecy\GalCiv.exe" w

Reply to Multiple planetary defenses in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't know it exactly. I don't build these stuff since it's too expensive. It's much better to intercept the transports before they reach their destination. But I assume that these improvements do only affect the part of the population which lives on the planet where it is build. I would only build one on the planet with the highest population. Does anybody know how it works? [Message Edited]

Reply to LDC Monitor problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Do you use an analog cable or a digital? This sound like a synchronization problem with an analog connection. You should really use a DVI cable when your computer offers a digital output (A 20" LCD should have it anyway, i.e. there are two different connectore. Look up your manual in case of doubt. The connectors should have a description there). When you have connectors on both computer and monitor but no cable you should really buy a DVI to DVI cable. It costs about 5-15$ an

Reply to Q: Technology Victory in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When you don't want to loos you have several options. You need to ally with all remaining AIs to end the game. e.g. ally with the Dregin and culture flip* all others. Or build excaliburs and terror stars and whipe them out. Or ally with all of them (give them gifts every three month, like technology, money e.g. 500BC fo 50 month or even planets and ressources, until they offer an alliance) * - build culture palaces in sectors adjacent to theirs - build all influence wo

Reply to All taxpayers fight to the death? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yeah these aliens have a very strange kind of fighting wars ;p I liked this feature in MOO2. This feature was discussed several times but never implemented. You should know that there are only limited development ressouces and a game should not be too complex. Thus you need to focus. Maybe they will improve GC2 at this point.

Reply to Learning AI? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When I read about the AI improvement through metavers I never thought of an automatic feature like neural networking. What I understood is that the developers look from time to time in the strategies of the top players. And I think that this is exactly what happened. The AI got counter-strategies for popular human strategies. Culture bombing got harder, the Arceans got an alternative technology strategy etc. But as I said before this will not happen for GC1 anymore.

Reply to Special Resources Question in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I don't think that there is such an option and I would not use it LOL You are right, it's tedious to build all these constructors and send them to their destination. But what else do you want to do with your waste production when you need to build one ship on one of your planets? Ressources add very high boni. Thus I use them. Just concentrate on a few ressources after the colonization rush and collect the others when the AIs destroy the starbases of their counterparts during

The AI did improve a lot and some cheese was removed. But I doubt that they will continue to tweak GC1 since GC2 is already in beta. Currently the Metaverse is nothing but a ranking system. You can join an Empire to get even more ranking :D

When the aliens get the last tech first they win. I always have this option disabled and thus never had this happen.
