Reply to Economy Help! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1. Don't use high tax rates. Moral should be at 100% at the beginning. Otherwise you have clandestine workers and insufficient population growth. Illicit work and small population => no taxes. Constantly adjust your tax rate at the beginning to keep at least your best planet at 100 % 2. Use trade as a cash cow. 3. Watch your leases and maintanance costs. It's very expensive to buy something and to maintain a large fleet. Don't build all social projects, some are way to expens

Reply to What is highest PQ you have seen in a game, with and without Mods? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've never seen more than 35. But I did not use any mods yet ... Are these astonomic PQ values Metaverse compliant? Which mods do you recommend? Is there something like a mods pack or do I have to download them 1:1 from the Library? Tanks, Volker

Hi CariElf, these links don't work for me.

Reply to Economy Strategy & Questions in Strategies Stardock Forums

Hi ricbayer, don't underestimate morale. It brings either population grows or higher tax rates. Both directly leads to more income. On a high PQ planet I usually have higher morale values anyway and I build morale improvements later than on lower planets. But at the end I build them on all. I try to balance this since more than 100% is not possible and I can't increas tax rates to high since the lower PQ planets would suffer to much. Best regards, Volker

Reply to Bug report thread v1.11.078 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

These are the problems I had (only the 1st is serious): 1. Research is not updated correctly when the economy sliders where moved. In my case they showed "Next month" but that was false. A reload of the game with the same settings showed 3 month and that was correct. This problem appears quite regular and I did not find any workaround besid save/reload. It's quite annoying and leads to wast of time/monney. 2. A minor bug: the lock on the economy sliders i

Get Galactic Library in a Package? Translation? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, is it possible to get the library stuff in a package or must it be downloaded 1:1? Since the publisher will not offer any localized versions for the library stuff and up to now not even for the patches I suggest some "open source" project for the translation. I'm willing to help and translate stuff into German, but somehow it should be possible to let the community participate. Can Stardock offer a place where this could happen? Thanks Vo

I don't like it that I'm forced to build all the time something on all planets which costs maintanace afterwards. And I would like to build my s

GalCiv in German c't :) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi there, GalCiv was mentioned in the current c't. c't is the computer magazine with the highest print run in Germany. It's a short article and overall quite positive. GalCiv got the best score for long lasting fun. In the opinion of the author GalCiv wins the direct comparison with the more established MOO3. Best regards, Volker

Reply to Patch 1.05 german version in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I patched my 1.05 German version with the standalone 1.10 patch. Fist I was happy since the copy protection was removed. I started a new game and the game crashed back to desktop when I push "Turn". I can restart the game and load the autosave game and every time I push "Turn" it crashes :sniff!:. I send all files form the autosave game and the error logs to Stardock but the answer ist that the German version was never tested by Stardock and that the patch happens to be incomp

Reply to GalCiv 1.09: Expanded Universe Beta 1 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Sounds absolutely great Rally points and Hyperlinks e.g. in the Dipomatic screen was exactly what I was missing :) I expect my German version to come in in the next weeks (I ordered already in April from AMAZON.DE). Currently I bridgeover with my OS/2 version and the demo. (The OS/2 demo was the reason why I buyed the game at that time!) Will there be an international version of the expansion, too? At least, can I install it and use it with my international

Reply to Things you would like to see in a Galactic Civilization expansion set in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

When a planet has no social and military project assigned it still wastes the money. Is it possible ot change this? It is a bit annoying to be forced to let every planet produce something. Thank you for your great game and your excellent support.

Diplomatic screen (sorry, post should be in the expansion pack wish list thread) in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I would really like to have more information on the diplomatic screen. - information about what I'm currently researching and how much is left. I often trade for a tech I would get next month anyway ... - information about the offered things like systems, starbases etc. to estimate their value. Best thing would be to have a naviagtion to the usal star map. Information about the research costs of the techs would be very helpfull as well - I like the idea mentioned above about

Translation of Patches and Library Objects for International Versions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, I already ordered my German version of GalCiv. I doesn't ship before August but luckly I found the demo :) My question is: Will the patches and Library Objects work with the international versions? I would even offer to make some translation work e.g. for the library stuff. Is there any tool to do so? Best regards, Volker
