Reply to Mods Folder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I did not have the Mods Folders either after saving with Stardock Central and install again. I don't know if the Mods should come with the saved game, but the folders definitely should. There is another glitch with the Stardock Central. I removed the Intro and Strategy First movies as recommended from Brad for slow machines. Stardock Central could not unpack GC until I manually added files with the right name and path to the ZIP-File. This cost a lot of time since it is not an

For a fan made mod RTFM is o.k. But I really hope that we don't have the same numbering issues in GC2 mods. ;p I have the same problem with the module "Diplomatic Outposts". I reduced the size and removed the fee but it did not help. I compared it with other modules and it looks quite fine. It takes a long time to test it because you have to start a new game and you have to research a lot until you get to the point where you can build it. I guess I will use the cheating abili

Reply to AI starting abilities in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It's known that the AI gets some starting advantages when you choose higher than "Intelligent", i.e. "Genius" and "Incredible". Furthermore when you use mods, the AI can use the new parties, ships etc. as well. Thus there can be quite hight starting values for some abilities. Additionally the AI has some smarter attack strategies etc. It's still no match for a human player but when you compare it to other games it's simply great. It was asked to get two separate option

Reply to I've been gone for six months, how's the base game improved? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi Ozar, when you have money and the technology you can build very very fast. Sometimes I'm in this lucky position by myself. Even Excaliburs can be build in two or three turns. When a new minor appears I sell them my trade goods for all their influence and money (adjust the number of month that it fits for the planned arrival of your transport request :-) Basically I had never any trouble with minors. They are just an extra planet and some money :CONGRAT: O

But it is a investment, i.e. must not be done when you are short with money. Furthermore you need to make it in a social project building rush because you pay this 5BC extra fee until you reached 15. Later in the game you might have this terraforming wonder. With this you can colonize even a PQ 12 p

[quote]The number of turnes left for a research project is off, I have had research not complete, even though the research page showed that it should complete next turn, and research complete when it said 3 turns.[/quote] Yes this is a long known bug. The system uses a wrong number for the bonus research to calculate the research turns. It uses the value of the last turn instead of the current turn. But for research itself it uses the correct numbers. This has awkward effects.

You have to balance morale, economy and maintanance. First spend 100% military at 100% spending until you got all those colony ships and scouts you need. Leasing is very expensive and should not be used very often (only when you really need this two month advantage in a race for a planet). Then research Medical Theory and Basic Environment Control to get Habitat Improvement. When finished switch to 100% social and build soil enh. and habitat on all planets. All govenor queues

When you create the roster, alternate the time zones when possible. Hopefully I can join one of your next succession games.

And I don't mind when someone uses culture bombing or alpha strikes. I even do it sometimes by myself :) I don't mind to beat the computer, too. In fact I would hate it to loose ;p The problems is that it should be avoided that you are doomed to these tactics when you want to submi
