Pure good AIs sometimes consider anything below 50 evil. And I'm pretty sure they only tolerate ships in sectors with their planets if they're actually orbiting one of your stars. ~SDC~

Reply to What's the smallest planet size you colonize and why? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The enhanced terraforming techs come after Evolution Control (and there's another high-cost tech after EC you need to get). I've had them installed for several games and never even saw them (and one of those games was Gigantic/Abundant). By the time you get that far in the game victory is a foregone conclusion anyway, so I don't see any harm in people building up their planets if they want to. ~SDC~

Well, were you evil? And more importantly, did "helping out some friends" involve bringing lots of offensive ships into their sectors? They don't like that. ~SDC~

Reply to Alien politics in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It would be interesting to see if the aliens that picked War Party, for example, also picked other military bonuses. Sentient isn't really the word, but I could definitely see them being designed to pick from one of several play styles at the start and choose bonuses that favor that play style.

Reply to Ending Insurrection in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm not really sure how I would simulate it here. Have that planet's abilities (production, morale) shifted towards the racial abilities of the origin race? Not too significant, since racial abilities usually aren't vastly different from race to race. Maybe a significant portion of the population joining with the invaders (liberators) if the planet is invaded by the race that matches its population. Or how about the possibility of a Torian nationalist movement cropping up. Have some proud T

Reply to So how do you get the AI to break an alliance and attack its AI alliance partner? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Nope. I've broken up an alliance before by allying with one of the races and declaring war on the other, but there seems to be a high probability that the two AIs will stick together. (My military power was simply rediculous when I broke up the Altarians and the Torians, and according to the diplomacy screen the Torians were getting 102% of their income from trade with me.)

Reply to How does destabilization work? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I believe that he said the reason it wears off is because espionage level is based on your total spending vs. their population, and population tends to increase. So it isn't really the quick disintegration that you would expect.

I think this is what happens when your starbase modules don't have sequential ID numbers. The standard modules (including the ones in the bonus pack) go up to 55. The ones in your mods directory have to be 56, 57, 58, etc.

Reply to economy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Ok, let's see how much of this I remember. People do work and earn money. The money that they save is money that is not spent on consumer goods, so there must have been investment (business machinery, increased inventory, etc.) equal in value to what was saved. Money borrowed from a bank is spent, put into someone else's bank account, and lent out again and again. The way my textbook talked about it made it seem like banks could created money out of nothing. Lowering

I'm pretty sure it was the Torians. It didn't really "require" such spending, since I could have built warships and taken their planets. But it was a Huge map, and moving all those ships across it is a pain, so I decided to put all of my money into destabilization and see if I could wipe them out that way.

Reply to economy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Money spend on "lab space and time. building theoretical models and all that related stuf" doesn't dissapear, though. It goes to someone, who will spend it somehow. The only time money dissapears from the economy is when someone puts it into a savings account and leaves it there. (This is me speaking as someone who's taken one introductory course in economics and doesn't plan to take another.)

Well, I seem to recall the morale of every planet a race had drop by about 15% per turn when I was spending 4500 bc/turn destabilizing them. (I had nothing left to build but warships, and this turned out to be more effective, since they all flipped to me or the I-League.)

Reply to How do I automatize keeping a planet happy with it's slider? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You should very rarely have to use the slider at all. If you've built Entertainment Networks, Multimedia Centers, etc. on your planets and morale is still very low, you probably have your taxes too high. And you don't have to keep all your planets at 100%. I only ever use propaganda on planets in danger of defecting (meaning I've actually gotten the message saying that the planet was about to defect). I usually don't see the I-League in my games, but if they're around then planets with the l

Reply to Morale at 100% for population growth? How!?!?! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

100% morale doubles population growth, which is nice, but more important is the fact that population growth stops when morale is 53% and is negative when morale is less than 50%. (I could be wrong on the exact numbers.) Morale is one of the super-important stats, like population, that's listed on the right hand side of the screen when you just click on the planet. You can also see it in the planet list, and you can even sort the planets by morale, which makes it easy to build morale-bo
