Reply to Heart of the AI in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Beginner is truly weak. Not only do they have the least amount of algorithms, you also get +20% econ bonus I think. Also, they probably wanna park those ships in case you decide to smack them down anyway.

Reply to Good or Bad - Naive or Smart in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

From the manual: When you research Xeno Ethics, you'll be presented with the option to choose one of the philosophies at a price that varies according to the choices you've made so far. A player who has made evil choices will have to pay more to choose the good alignment, and vice versa. Each choice will un

I think I saw a relationship bonus/penalty table showing good races have better relations with good races than evil races with evil races. So it helps diplomacy in general. Plus good races do more trading I think, which is useful for your income. And if it's like GalCiv1, certain techs are alignment restricted.

Reply to Some graphics looks bad on high res in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well, the actual videos ARE kinda small. So if blown to a large resolution it's going to look bad. i.e., if you play the videos using Bink, it's maybe a quarter or a third of the screen's area at 1024x768. And you're playing at an even higher resolution.

Reply to Absent Multiple Player Feature A Game Killer? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

From my experience, there's usually a trade-off between the game's AI and multiplayer. It's ok if the game's AI is crap so long as you can still play against other people. Conversely, if you don't have multiplayer, then a good AI is essential, unless you take the lazy route of letting the AI cheat.

Reply to Questions about release and metaverse in Metaverse Stardock Forums

Funny... in all these months, I never even noticed the council link... thanks! Edit: Well, I looked at the metaverse topics. It answers the medals question, it doesn't answer the reset or not question, so that's still something I want to know, as well as my other question.

Reply to preordered version. what are the added things? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Well, if you ordered from EBGames.com, and you recall them asking for your address and having a shipping fee tacked on, then it'll be sent to your house. They do have an option to pick it up in-store for some games, but it's something you have to choose I think when you ordered it. You can always check your order history to see what you did with it.

Reply to Returned in WoW Stardock Forums

6 hours and you gave up on EVE Online? That's like walking up and talking to the very first quest giver in WoW and quitting. Then again, if you haven't participated in the PVP it's easy to say that EVE's boring. But 2 weeks is not really enough to get fully into the PVP either. What other game has had a mercenary corp on an assassination mission infiltrate another corp, gain their trust over several months, rise up through the r
