Reply to Morale in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

At full tech, and all morale trade goods, and maybe a few morale resources, I can have my tax rate at 89% and 100% approval for populations of around 15000 The way morale works, you get a morale hit when tax rate reaches 50%, again if it reaches 75%, and again if it reaches 90%.

Reply to Can you watch the ai fight against itself in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

False. While they don't know where the good planets are, most races still begin with Stellar Cartography, so at least know where the planets are.

I'm a culturalist usually (but win militarily for more points), but since you can't turn the victory condition off in the scenarios, I do a heckuva lot more conquest. Good soldiering is a must, as they help prevent huge population losses when you invade.

Well, trade routes have a set lifetime. Once it reaches that lifetime, it expires. Or so I remember. They can also be attacked of course.
