Very Slow Research Rates on Large, Huge, Immense Maps... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I implore you to read through the OP by Uranium - 235. He has many points that I may not be able to express in my offshoot post. Source of OP. https://forums.galciv2.com/308604 I figured another post on the topic of Research speeds/rates would be appropriate as the following didn't seem to fit within the confines of the OP topic of discussion of tech trading.

[quote]This could actually give rise to a support vessel using a 'repair dry dock' sort of module that was very massive in size. You could then have a ship entirely devoted to repairing your fleet.[/quote] This is a wonderful idea ;) and is actually an almost perfect example of what was swimming within my head.

Reply to Post your TA suggestions here in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It's a tad bit late for this, but I was hoping to see some more +repair techs, or perhaps even +repair fleet affecting modules!! On par with the fleet warp bubbles, and the offense/defensive fleet techs. And yes, the organic armor on the Iconian fleets is simply amazing!! ;) Perhaps giving another deserving race,( Yor anyone?) a unique module to complement their regen? Let me know what you think...

[quote]All of the sudden, two of my ship designs go missing. Anyone know why this would occur? I did not delete the designs. I reloaded, and after the same turn, my designs go missing again, so it's recreatable. Any ideas?[/quote] So I loaded up a saved game the other day, made an awesome design before work one morning...saved the design, quick built the ship just to see what it would look like AND THEN QUIT the game, without saving.

Changing weather patterns when... in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Focus your production in eithier Military, Social or Research on a given planet, while you have the planet "open" (the build screen.) and Notice what the "clouds" do on the representation of the planet in the upper left hand corner. Notice anything strange? The weather or "clouds" will jump around, change. Is this normal? Please tell me if I'm being unclear, Im holding a sleeping child w/1h and attempting to type with another ;)

[quote]A minor issue, but one I've noticed is that the description for Torians (History of Perserverance) is the same as the description for Humans (History of Extremes).[/quote] History of Perseverance (the flavor description in the tech tree) will still mention the "Sad history of the Torians" when used with a custom race. Unsure if you folks will be able to change this...but its pretty minor I must admit...

I'm not an active member of the metaverse, however I was wondering how this is possible. Do you start a metaverse game, then upload your score when you are done? EDIT:: Removed the link to the profile where my question was spawned, hopefully killing this thread. Thanks for reading though ;)

OP: From the sounds of it, it would seem that your playing on maps that take days to complete: Huge, Large, (TA Immense). Trying playing a medium map! What level of difficulty are you playing on? It has a huge difference on whether or not your games will get boring. Sometimes I enjoy going into a game, knowing that I've set the AI int. lvl far above what I'm comfortable with, only to get squashed like a bug ;) If the odds are too far in your favor, mi

[quote]Also, placing agents stops production of the building they are placed on. Some buildings (starports and initial colonies) cant have agents put on them, but as far as I know, all the other buildings are fair game. This makes spies useful in certain situations. Attacking a planet? Place a spy on a farm for one turn and billions starve, making the planet easier to attack. Wanna stop a planet from making ships? Place your spies on their industrial centers and they wont be doing anything on th

This makes me sad =( Oh well, I have said agents, so I'd best be pulling them away from the super secret meeting they've been having around the galactic coffee brewer for the past 8 game years... Kinda of an odd change really. I would really prefer the individual sliders to be put back in place, with your agent training/spending being the slider in the domestic bar. Perhaps a slider to divy up the total percentage of espionage being spent towards differen

So my issue...Keep in mind that I played dreadlords, and have now skipped over DA and straight into the beta version of Twilight...sooo.... How do you increase Espionage towards another race? There was a slider in the Foreign Policy panel in Dreadlords...but now... All I can see is the espionage slider in the Domestic panel, but all that seems to do is grant me spies/# of weeks. Even though I'm spending an immense amount in this slider (gaining spies like crazy...) I seem to

Not trying to be a jerk here, but just to ask an obvious question...Did you uninstall the game before installing the gold edition? I mean...did you have GC:II Dreadlords, the full game, before purchasing gold edition? If anything, uninstall all versions of the game. Reinstall only the gold edition, as it is Dreadlords AND Dark Avatar.
