Played as a custom race with the research bonus and with the terran tech tree. And noticed this. I thought things were currupted. To tell you what made me notice this the most was the fact that Federation went from about 10 turns to 29.. And my research was going up not down. I also use the all factories approach so I should be flying through the research tree at this point in the game. Instead I had to steal Weapons techs in a war and get lucky to keep up with the bad guys.

I hope they change Terror Stars a little. Because at this point even if a Minor race built 20 of them. Nobody would be scared. Because number one it would take 15 weeks for the dam thing to even remotely get close to any other Star, number two if your grandmother on the other side of the moon farts. The terror star is dead. Right now they are a waste of space. And if they don't change them. I predict people will build them maybe once or twice for the Owww cool factor. Then after they re

You could try the All Factories approach. Of course its a tough start, but once you get going nothing can really touch you on Research or money. When you start playing Twilight if your not already, if you thought the money problems are bad in DA. DA is a cake walk compared to TA Economy. Look around for it in the forums. Few Threads that are devoted to A Factories laying around somewhere.

You guys are my Favorite developers. I have bought all Galatic Civ games and Addons, and Sins. You guys treat us good. You talk to us. And you let us all participate in Betas if we wish. I wish all companies were like you guys. Don't ever get to big though.. Cause if you become like UBI, or the others. I will be mad. ;) Keep up the good work. PS the thing that is killing the PC gameing world is the Poor customer service. The shady bugged games some companies relea

Well play easy. Play with a team but lock the teams for you don't have to pay them. Make your teammate AI hard for he can take the brunt for you. Then at least you have time to see how things work and play. You could also build your own map where you put in only a few ChockPoints into your main worlds for its easier to play. The key to defending your systems is that to jump into a system the AI and you have to jump from Star To Star (normally). If you position fleets in t

You could just leave one ship around to watch out for them.. I mean if your chasing a broken enemy why do you need a huge fleet first. I have found that usually only 1 or 2 large scale battles, and its over for the AI other then the cleanup. Keep a couple of ships back to watch.. Or keep a couple in the GravWell of the STAR and keep an eye out. Most likely though you would have better success with a Ship left at each planet. That way even if the little bugger (the frigates that are

The biggest problem I have is that the AI loves to send about 2-6 of those Siege Frigates at your worlds. Its annoying but a good strategy. No real way to stop them if you play a big map. Because you can't have a fleet in every planet. And you need enough to break the 2-6 Siege Frigates in time. Cause they don't seem to take long to take out a planet. The only race that seems immune to this is the Vasari. Gets annoying late game when your tying to kill the ai with your main

I have noticed that the game locks up alot now. I'm pretty deep into my current game. Just seems that so much is going on that the game just likes to lock up on you. I'm also in a big war between me. (yor) and the korath. Its pretty much unplayable or something. Oh most seems like a Memory Leak of some sort. Too bad because It would of been an epic battle.

Also the extra money, is the fact that you can trade for more Econ Bonuses. Since every race has seperate ones, and extra ones. So if your civ takes them you get the bonuses added to your own. So maybe they unwilling defeated the purpose of the No Tech Trade Options. Really only two options. When you chose No Tech Trade you get the old Ship Maintance. Or disable the ability to take other civs econ trade. If they did not do this with the ship maintance

Ya, noticed the color bar too. But the numbers do go down. Also I hope they get rid of that awful noise that happens when you push the SKIP button. My god, that is the most Ear Shattering sound.

The way the game works in combat is that everyone fires everyround. Even if you die. So it would not matter if you fired first or not. Because Even if you did kill them, they can still fire.

Also. I just traded some Income techs and My Money doubled. As the yor, you can't change governments. Usually when I get to the point in game where I am now. I ignore trading techs. (Only trade to keep my Budget in the black during colonization) Well I just also got republic government and some others and my income went from about 300 to 800. That helped. So when you get civs like the yor that don't have a lot of money. Your going to have to trade for it. So now I just pl

You can expand! I have found that playing as the Yor right now that I can expand as fast as I want. I just can't build on every planet that I take right away. The first 4 or 5 planets I build up. When done I continue on. I also use the All Factories, with 99, 1 sliders. It is hard though, Most the early game is kept keeping your empire up. And preying that your Flag Ship gets nice 1000 Credit Anomalies.

Been playing custom races since day 1. Not sure what your problem is though. I have 15 points to choose from. Make sure you use the reset button to get all your points back. My custom races far outfight the ai ones. I find it harder to use the Stock races then a custom. because with custom race I can fill the parts that I lack in game with bonuses. Of course it takes a few games to find the right style for your game.

This is why I shut off mega events. Its a broken option. Unless of course thats the kind of thing you like. There is a less offensive Pirate event that is not a mega one. But even those ships can be very scary, but not as much.

The Ai gets bored too. If you are in his way he will try to go through you, especially when he has a higher military ranking then you. Secret to a peacful game for the player is a High Military Rating and High Diplomacy rating. That means getting some of the Super Buildings in diplomacy. Then you will be bored cause nobody will pick on you.

It does project the dregin power alot though. When I went to war with them in current game I was like oh boy they have alot of ships. When My early fleets of 4 busted through over 50 of those little things I was like WTH? LOL. I lost alot of ships though, but it was early and I harldy had any defenses. But the Dregin lost everything.
