How long after you submit a metaverse score until it shows up? And I presume you can just search for you alias to find your own score?

Cultural Influence and SBs in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Suppose you have a sector with a bunch of your planets, and a sector neighboring it with a bunch of AI owned planets. If you want to convert the AI planets via culture, should you build SBs with culture modules in your sector, in their sector, or is either option just as good?

Frustrated with well, lack, of diplomacy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I've played a few games now, and noticed something that has me about ready to return the game. If you are not #1 in military, whoever is #1 will start making outrageous demands every three months, and if you don't give in, go to war. It doesn't matter if you are #2.

couple questions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1) I notice that one's military rating seems tied only to the number of military ships you have, not their quality.

His DEF score was a 6 with 61 HP. My corvettes had an ATT of between 3 and 5, with 13 HP. There were no starbases in the sector.

Defense *far* too strong in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So I just got Gal Civ after playing the demo. I'm at war with a neighbor. They have one system left, with only 1 battle axe defending it - with 0 XP. They have maybe 6 heading towards the system though. So I send 8 corvettes of varying XP to attack...and lose without even doing much damage to the battle axe. Ok, so I reload a save, because this kind of result is BS, right? Attack a little later with *13* corvettes. Same result...I load about 10 times with thi
