Reply to Disappearing ship icons in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Unfortunatly, reloading the save also re-set accumulated culture points (just to keep it in mind). If i notice invisible ships moving around, I won't reload is I am in the process of culture flipping a system or two (or 3 or 4). :D

Reply to Do you buy colony ships in the beginning for faster expansion? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I take the +1 speed bouns at the begining for starters. I set the tax rate to around 45% and spending to 100%. I set the military slider at 100% and crank out colony ships until the surrounding sectors are claimed, then I B-line the tech to get impulse engines. The first colony ship, I colonize the second Sol planet if there is one, if not, I grab the nearest system with it, build a scout, then colony ships. When a colony ship is finished, I load 200M pop on it, so it

Reply to A Note About Sound Problems in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

LOL I did a similar thing. Wrote to Cari and everything. Could not figure out why the game music would quit when it was loading. I had music on I had sound FX on I had user defined playlist "yes"......... duh. Nothing like the sound of an empty folder. [Message Edited]

if the empire gets to the first page, wonderfull. But RL should always take precedence over a computer game :). I find that I take breaks from the game also. Don't want to burn out on it. And good luck with your business trip. I am getting a business started myself, and that can be very time consuming. lol Yeah, I wonder about the scores sometimes. They clearly are not based on how you preform during the game. If they were, then a lot of "cheese" would become moldy real fast. <br

Reply to Star List and "Best Planet" in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I was thinking more along the line of an option to "list potential colonization targets", that would give systems or planet names, and their PQ. I don't think it would be that hard to code a simple planet list (with perhaps an option to send closest colony ship) on one of the empire tab screens. Just a thought. Of course, this would be a lot more usefull on gigantic galaxies than tiny ones. I just want a "find system" option. I got an event that stated something along the lines th

"General?" replied one of the advisors. "How should we proceed?" "I am not sure at this point." he replied. "Report back tomorrow for my decision." Lost in thought of "what next", couslee sits silently. The empire has a clear foot hold in the center of the galaxy. His options are many. Should he order insane madness and overpower the other races with force? All the major races are warm towards the Viraxians. Trade ships from all over are arriving yearly. We contorl 90%

Reply to Do they cheat? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I read it's better if one of the minor do build the specials..... "you can buy it cheaper from them than building it yourself". And diplo-T is not something I would sell if I did build it anyway.

TV Sales But wait...........there's more!!!!! You can strip an AI from most all it's belongings. When you set up a tech trade, just don't stop with money over time. When you find your comfort range n the cash part, check and see what else they will give you. EXAMPLE: you set up a trade of 10 techs for 400bc over 30 months (31 months are not accepted). See what else they will throw in. Might get a couple of combat transports, a SB, and half a dozen frigates to boot. T

Reply to three bugs and a gameplay imbalance in 1.1: anyone else having these problems? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]The bug that gets my goat, is losing people when trying to load up transport and you don't click the transport properly but the load bar turns up.... instant population spacing, very bad if you are in desparate need of troops and short on people. [/quote] Transports can be re-orbited, and the on-board population adjusted. However this does not work with colony ships.
