Stardock does, however, plan to create an expansion pack sometime mid next year to GalCiv II that includes multiplayer depending on how well Dark Avatar sells (pricing would be about the same as Dark Avatar and it would have lots of other features as well to make sure it appeals to a wide spectrum). If u want me to buy a multiplayer expansion pac
The Dark Yor are supposed to be an even nastier, more aggressive variety of the Yor - who are obviously very sophisticated. It makes no sense at all for the Dark Yor to be so restricted Agree 100% with this. When I first bumped into this minor race, I thought, oh dear they r going to be trouble, but no just another minor race. It would have bee
Questions for Veteran players I qualify... Trade 1) True, u can lose the trade route if too many freighters get destroyed. 2) Distance most important then population. Diagonal from 1 corner to another for best results. 3) Only to est
If this were allowed, it would make them major races, defeating there purpose, they r mean't to play a minor role in galactic affairs. Also u r limited to 10 major races, full stop. In Dark Avatar u will have more than 10 but will still only be able to have yr self and 9 other major races (ie...10 total), even when there will be 12+ major races to choose from. I think they r limited by the original game design, so it's not changeable.
I'm curious about one thing: Do you have a favourite AI? Or one that you consider hardest to play against? I would guess that Brad/Frogboy's/Draginol's favourite race is the Drengin. Reasons r they (stardock) have a strong bias for evil in GC, probably the most original GC race, all the packaging has images of the Drengin on them, the stories c
Thanks for all your work on the AI, it's very welcome! I second this. Since the original version of the game to 1.11 to 1.2 the AI has got better. It provides a constant challenge, if I do not concentrate or be lazy with my turns, I will regret it later when the AI stomps me. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border
Farming has been nerfed too Funny this, as a large majority believed farming to be nerfed before they nerfed it. Had a hard time creating 95b pop. planets. Is it still possible to create a 90b-100b pop. planet? Anyone know? Typ
NO! Don't make me shout it again...
My guess, is this code is from GC1, features that have yet to developed or abandoned in GC2. Terror stars for example were in GC1 but not in GC2, the AI can not use them correctly. Monsters r disliked by alot of GC1 players etc...
Has anyone ever kept up with the AI research on Suicidal? No. I have had precursor library (700%), 2x300% tiles, tech capital, plus 16 eco bases boosting research, rest of tiles labs. Producing 6000+ beakers a turn and still the AI's were out researching me on suicidal...I don't think it can be done. Yr better letting the AI's do yr re
you can delete all the events and leave there only the event you want, then that's what will alwyas ocurr to ya.. But that's cheating and not very random... I want more events good and bad events to happen, so I after deal with them in the game, spice things up abit, I would like to set up the game to have a random event approx. every 3
Just curious, why would people complain about giving a planet its due value in trade. Players took advantage of the AI by using cheesy tactics, the AI could not handle trade, so the developers took the 'easy' way out and made everything expansive to trade with the AI or made the AI not sell at any price ie...a mining resource the AI will not trad
why people want mods on the meta? all of this stuff making it die! the metaverse is dying! At the moment u after choose between a metaverse game vs a modded game/scenario game/campaign. Wouldn't it be great/cool/fab if every game u played could be a metaverse game? So u did not after choose. Having to choose means less metaverse games being po
Gimme the $, I never have enough...
Trade was nerfed ages ago because everyone complained about it. This is why trading is completely unrealistic in GC2 now.
Shame... Perhaps this will be something we can customise in Dark Avatar? I would love to see more random events...

The AI always chooses the same alignment each time, I think its actually coded that way into the AI behavior This is wrong. I have seen neutral choose good and good choose neutral. It is rare, only seen it in 2 games out of 30+. I think that sometimes the AI is influenced by the player's alignment, when that player is powerful
GalCiv2 Forums
Yep I have seen this, u can get around it by trading or giving the AI ethics or whatever its called. The AI then has to choose an alignment.
He played the campaign I can't really disagree... if I based everything on my experience with the horrible campiagn, I'd never have bothered playing the rest of the game. I agree. I did the same
Wastes them, build on a blank tile. Only normal buildings take advantage of a tile bonus.
Excellent, I can start that new gigantic map game now...
the Kwilasians and Alexians (Along with the Carinoids I have not seen any of those either. I am sick of seeing the Dark Yor, had those loads of times, such a scarey description and what do they do? Sit there like any other minor, not really doing much of anything. It would be cool if they just built military ships and went on a rampage every n
Well Rallos that 75 games medal looks pretty impressive on its own! 1 question do u play GC2 24/7? That's a impressive amount of games in such a short time. I believe there is a special secret prize for the 1st one to a 1000 games.
Sorry for the double post, but with those new morale stats, especially... + Entertainment Network Morale bonus lowered from 25 to 10 + Multimedia Center Morale bonus lowered from 30 to 15 Won't new players struggle with the economy hump in the early game? It's going to be murder getting a positive income at a decent morale level?
I have a question, with those changes to morale buildings has getting a planet to the 100b mark been nerfed completely? I, only recently got used to the fact that any PQ 18+ could be built up to 100b population at 80% tax rate. Had a nice strategy PQ 18+ = 100b pop., PQ 9 -17 15b eco. planets, PQ 8- 5b trade goods, galactic achievments, wonders etc... Will I after rethink my plan
