Reply to 3D 4X , or wheres the Z in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think we are only dealing with 1 galaxy containing star clusters. If we consider our own Milky Way Galaxy, we are dealing primarily with a disc (leaving aside the central bulge) that has a diameter of about 20,000 p.c. and thickness of around 1,000. So for a typical 20x20 (x-y) game grid you'd only need 1 cube in the z-direction. Enough to be confusing but not to add much to the game. Collapsing to 2-D isn't a bad choice then. However, we really should be in a circular 2-D Galaxy. ;) <br

The Story of Kevin the Kitten in History JoeUser Forums

Kevin Evans was born in 2140 the heir to the Interstellar Trading Corporation fortune. It rapidly became apparent that he was something of a prodigy and he went on to become the youngest person to achieve a Ph.D. from Cambridge University in Xeno Biology.

Well, that game now means there is only 8k separating 16 to 20 in the Empire rankings. Unfortunately, I'm only managing to add about 2k per submission at the moment. I think the tweaks mean you have to trade with the majors now or they get more unhappy with you faster so i'm having to adjust my tactics. I may need to take a break to recharge my GalCiv batteries but I'll try to keep us up with the competition. Have fun in RL! :)

Reply to Bug Report for v1.12.079 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

[quote]Not a bug, Kevin, just annoying. Remember that you can build a starbase ANYWHERE by just double-clicking on the constructor, and selecting "Plant Starbase." The AI can - and often does - build a ton of tiny starbases all over the place, although the Arceans are the usual culprit.[/quote] Oh Right! I didnt know that but it opens up some handy possibilities when I've missed out on resources. :) Thanks.

Reply to New ai behaviour in 1.12? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm glad its not just me the aliens are picking on. My strategy until now has been to make friends with the aliens, reasearch and build hard and rely on culture flipping. Now someone always seems to see that I have a weak military and decide that I'm ripe for extermination. They appear to be decidedly more aggressive.
