Would the United States trade Alaska just because Europe was willing to give us Spain and Portugal? I think the US would bite Europes hand off. They have not had a trade has good as that, since the indians sold the land present day new York sits

they won't accept an economic starbase + morale starbace + 2 of my planets + all of my fleets + 20,000 bc for a morale starbase U can offer them yr entire empire, I have offered 50+ planets, 6+ fully maxed mining resources, lots of money, all my trade goods, ships etc for a single mining resource base or to declare war on another AI. Not intere
At the level I play the AI already does design/improve faster transport/colony ships. At game start a AI colony ship will have 3spd, 2 - 4 months ltr 6spd etc... Often seen the AI with faster colony ships than me in the first 6-9 months, also they have hordes of them, that I cannot match.
the devs won't have a player as good as the best of the playerbase- who discovers these exploits. So what u r saying is destroy the game for 90% of players and just cater for those elite 10%?
I agree with the original poster. Kudos to Stardock for the free patches, they do try very, very hard to please there customers. Above and beyond the call of duty. BUT From a patch update I personally want better AI, bug fixes, perhaps the odd extra feature. Examples of good content in GC 2 updates r :- Improvements in the AI, so it plays a better game. Improvements in modding, the modding example in 1.2. Changing ship combat so both fleets fired at
I never noticed stock exchanges giving morale bonuses. May have to look at that. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Please read the following:- <TABLE cellpadding=8 wi
Perhaps they were just hoping u would not notice and give them a $5 tip?
For a real challenge, play on medium. We're probably going to update the Metaverse scoring so that there's a general set of bonuses as you approach medium. Excellent, I like playing medium maps. U could be correct about medium being harder, I certainly have had my most interesting games on medium maps. Can still beat it on suicidal thou... <im
Is there any recent news on the MoM2 front? I believe they hit problems with aquiring the rights. There was a post about it, possibly in the journal. They may not be doing a MoM2 now. But I am not 100% on this.
Just to add my voice, yes, yes and YES again. Who would say no, when u have the option to turn them off or on? Any new features u add to the game that r optional, r a no brainer. New features extend the playability of game, retaining a players interest. Also in the end game, a mega event would spice the game up considerably. Good idea Frogboy. <img src="http://images.stard
never build morale buildings This is my view when playing 1.3. Don't waste a planet tile on a morale specific building. Build a stock exchange instead. I now rely on taking +20% morale ability bonus, populist party +10% morale, get all the morale wonders, get all the morale mining resources (I will go to war now over a morale resource) and res
So the main reason to go Democracy is for economic benefits? Yep, democratic governments mean more $. It seems, if u give people lots of freedom, they use that freedom to make themselves rich.
Stock exchanges are now way way way way too too good... Please do not make comments like this or the developers will nerf stock exchanges The problem is they went totally overboard on nerfing morale buildings and neutral learning centers and mining
However, the complete nerfing of morale (and farm output) has removed a significant portion of this replayability from the game. It is now not viable to pursue a high population planet build strategy, and I'm not sure that constantly having an empire made up exclusively of planets with 19 billion population will help maintain a level of interest in the game. </tab
In v1.2 a maxed out military resource will provide a 44% boost to attack and defense. I read somewhere in v1.3 there is a new module which adds another 12% giving 56%, I have not yet played v1.3 to confirm It's 39% maxed out mining resource in 1.3. The developers downgraded it again from the final beta.
So is there something wrong with the Arceans in 1.3? I believe the Arcean AI got improved 1n 1.3, so they should play a much better game. The Terran alliance's AI got improved considerably as well (I am playing in a 1,3 game with them now), they r awesome. Also the Drath, Iconian Refuge, Thalans use Terran Alliance AI with slight chang
Is that by design to keep players from getting +55 morale with Torian? Exactly. To avoid the free abilities being exploited.
I reloaded it just so I could do it again!
How do you activate hyperdrives? Yr cptn stands on the bridge and says, "make it so" while making a funny hand gesture... No, research engines, impluse etc, then design yr ships with more engines on. U then get more movement points, there is no
Oh man. NWN2, Medieval 2: Total War, Gothic 3, Dark Avatar, everything's coming out in a few months time Yep, its called marketing, bring it out just in time for christmas, erm...how do u wrap Dark Avatar up and give it as a xmas pressie...its download only... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Hmm.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle
In 1.3, populists have gained in power, due to the + to morale, diplomacy is nice too. I have had success with all the political parties. I do like having the industrialists, with other picks/early techs u can have +100% military production in the early game. Great for pumping lots of ships out early. Good early rush strategy.
yea... but how? someone posted it up and it was VERY complicated How is it complicated? U download the mod, it installs into yr mod folder, u load GC2, check use mods, select mod u want to use and extra hulls/ships appear as u research yr tech. It's very simple.
The most obvious would be the farm bonus tiles. Build a farm on a 100% bonus tile, when it upgrades it will be a 200% bonus, upgrade again to get it to 300%. Then replace the farm with any other building, but retain the food production. You could get the planet to whatever food production, and hence population, you want, but with no farm present and the added pro
Good work rav8. Love yr babylon 5 mod.
