Reply to How does morale influence population growth rates after the latest patch in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It changed it 1.1 first,And has been tweaked ever since ________________ + Population growth revamped to put more emphasis on population growth ability and morale. Population Growth tweaked so that abilities are taken into account BEFORE morale bonuses. Net effect is that population growth ability not quite as powerful. + Population growth fixed dramatically. This is going to have a significant game play result that we're still having to fix in the AI. Before, on a cla

I don't know the exact numbers but its been this way since 1.2 or 1.3 I believe. But if you have below certain % your population will not grow as fast. And you get a bonus at 100% morale. Thats why alot of people take the Moral Bonus now if they play Custom races, because it hurts your Colonization real bad. Also If your population drops below a Certain number again I forgot what it was (I Keep them above 5 Billion) they grow even slower.

Hmm, does anyone else agree that having a good starting position was more important back in GalCiv 1? I remember to have used it quite frequently back then, I'm not using it that often with GalCiv 2. Don't rember much from GC1. But I agree you should not restart. My last game I had 2 empires around me. I out colonized them and they could not ex

Craig what Difficulty do you play and map size? Moral effects Population growth which will effect Colonization, and taxes in the end. Easier to understand though If I know what your playing.

I don't think that you have to worry, unless I missed something thier will be Never any Multi Play in GC2. So play the game and have fun.

I meant Either playing Older Version of game Without Moral Penalties, or easier Difficutly lol. As you will find though the game is extremly fun no matter how you play it. And Everyone has stategies that work for them, and might not work for others. Thats what is great about the game. Good luck.

Corners are the best place to start, not worse. Also You should not Restart the game because, even if there is someone next to you.. You back them into the corner (because you can out Colonize the AI everytime if you do it right)! Let them build up the planets they manage to get for you. Surround them for they can't expand. Then when ready attack them and take them over. I disagree about the Build order. (but comes down to whatever works for u) I suggest getting Sensors first, for y

Reply to Do I get Gal Civ II or Space Empire V? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I have not seen SEV or played the demo. But I did play SEIV it its day and loved it. Of course its old now so some of the flaws might not be present. But I do rember one of my Outlining stadegies in SEIV was just to Mine The choke points (which was a little cheesy but worked). I use to destroy half the enemy fleets that way, because they would just keep coming. And I would have 1-2 mine Layers at each choke point ready to replace the mines. LOL.

It must be higher. I don't trust in House Surveys. Its almost as bad as The DNC or GOP doing their own Surveys. I wonder how they will come out. But thats still bad. Thats like saying 28% of the Democrats or Republicans are not going to vote this year. LOL.

I know you been ripped left and right in this thread about the Minors. So I won't get into that, one thing I might mention that you might not understand. Weapons in game are the most Valuable Item to trade in game.. So that is one reason your friend traded a little higher then Advanced Min. Second if your friends Diplomacy was much higher this can also cause Things like this to happen. If he has Diplomatic Translators then he is almost certainly going to have things like this h

I think its needed. Pre 1.2 it was not. But now that everyone gets to fire at the same time, its hard to replace fleets when they get lost at the rate they do without the Defenses.

Well if your playing 1.3 this is what I do on Challenging. Rush build Entetainment building, then Factory. Then leave rest to build on own. Set my sliders to 30% tax, 100% production. Start a Colony ship right off, just let it build though, rember you have 5000 Credits to start. If you want you can set your other sliders too. I don't change them on challenging though since I want my homeplanet to build buidings and ships. Send off the Scanner ship to get anomal
