Nu drar tyskarna iväg med en massa posts om hur kul det är att vara tysk, då får väl jag klämma på en svensk ;) Erik Nyberg från delstaten KS (Kansas?) i USA, är du ditflyttad svensk eller kör du med gammaldags stavning av namnet? P.S. If anyone feels that this post is annoying, please don't hesitate to flame. Right here will be fine. D.S.

OT: Empire Challenge in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

First off, I hope nobody's offended by my posting this in this forum. :notsure: After browsing the ANZAC thread I noticed that Rainbird claims to be heading off for some Civ3 gaming, this is fine by me although we'll miss her. However this got me thinking, how about a Civ3 challenge? We could have a PBEM game going with a participant from each of the major empires running parallel to the ongoing rivalry in the metaverse. If anyone's interested in this idea please reply to this thread w

Money triggers in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Does anyone know when the money triggr kicks in? I just played huge for two hours and got ZERO mpts! After finding the minors i kept a constant cash surplus of between 20-25k. Could the trigger be 20k? P.S. I was playing on crippling D.S. >:(

Reply to How to build the perfect Galactic Empire game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The great problem with this is the A.I., it can't plan ahead!If you give it this degree of control you lose oversight, when I play a game of galciv I don't remember every detail but I get a feel for where my planets are when I read the turn summaries. If the A.I.:s were to handle this then I would be making poor decisions based on to little information or have to go through the entire turns orders manually anyway. The effect of this would be the same as in all versions of galciv prior to expande

Using the economic reasoning of citahellion. You could think in terms of supply and demand, if there's 1 party palace x million people visit and then they go back home and tell their friends. However if there are 2 pp's then x+y million go there at the lower cost provided through competition. Some of the y's we're the ones that otherwise would have been only told by the x's, thus when they go home and tell THEIR friends the number of new friends told are less than in the first case. This is the

There's half a billion europeans, not counting the russians. There's something like 25-30 million ANZACs? Are they all busily slaving away posting scores for the metaverse? We have to be able to recruit more players into our empire, or at least activate the ones we have. :notsure:

Reply to 3 questions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I figured that I made too much money but then I happened to read in the ANZAC thread that you get penalized for frequent posting, could that be it? Using all available revenue seems the better choice, after all I can use the money more efficiently.

So the information was correct eh? Yes s-sir. The quivering minion was shaking in his boots, going through a minefield at topspeed was not his idea of fun. Lord Orpon, however, was calm. L O: This is excellent! (rubbing his hands toghether) Those daft kangaroo-kiwis will need weeks to figure out the bug in their system, and even when they do they'll have to pick apart their entire system just to find it. The money spend on that informant was the best investment we've made s

3 questions in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

OK, I've got three questions for you: 1. What is the draginol event, and is there any way to increase the likelyhood that it will occur? 2. Why have my last two games on painful ended with 0 mpts? (I spent 5 hrs total :sniff!: ) 3. Has anyone ever used the new embargo function? (this is actually more of a poll)

Reply to How could the exploration stage of Galciv be improved? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The risk of losing PQ 1-2 would probably impair the human since only human players colonize PQ 13+, either we wouldn't colonize or we wouldn't investigate anomalies. Speaking of anomalies, the planetoid anomaly, the green chunk of rock, does it always spawn a monster? I've had a monster come out of it three times now, never anything else. >:(

The big point lies in AI performance, the more functions you pile into the game the lesser your AI gets, it can't handle more functions and juggle prioities like humans do (long term planning). The key is to think minimalistic, like you were designing a boardgame, few parameters but endless variations within the few.
