Whats the basic strategy for starbases? Do you just use them to boost certain planet stats? Where do you place them and how many time do you upgrade them before you stop? Eco bases - try to place, so as to get as many of yr planets in there sphere as possible. Early on put the first ones around the planet/s yr trade routes r coming from. <br
I started by jumping into the campaign straight away and playing straight thru to the end. BIG MISTAKE! Well the first 3 scenario's r like a tutorial, I missed out on the real action in sandbox where GC2 is awesome. U r probably best, in theory, starting out on a tiny galaxy with normal difficulty and seeing how u get on. Enjoy GC2. <img src="http://images.stardoc
Anyone who has not tried Dominions yet, download the Dominions 2 demo and walkthru. It's completely free, has alot of depth just in this demo (u can play alot of nations/gods and have access to 2 maps) and where u go from there is upto u. The AI can be set from beginner to impossible, what that means I do not know, only been playing 2 days... It will appeal to anyone who likes Warlords, Age Of Wonders, Heroes Of Might & Magic and Disciples. I agree $55 is steep but not owning
otherwise the world would still be flat! (among other things)) OMG! Why was'nt this on the news? They change the shape of the world and never told me...

Well megaloob Insults r always a sign of someone losing a arguement
I would find it hard to believe that there is a large crossover between GC2 fans and Dom2/3 fans. Why? In a recent stardock poll, a 4xfantasy strategy game was the most requested game to be developed next. Alot of sci-fi strategy fans r civ strategy fans and fantasy strategy fans. Perhaps the keyword is strategy?
I played a PBM (play by mail, yea before PBEM) game (well old, 15+ yrs ago) and that had a battle description generator. The game was Adventurer Kings I believe and the battle description was about a paragrapth (10 lines max. long), it made the game a real hit at the time. I played about a dozen games of Adventurer Kings and very rarely did I get the same battle description, must of had 100+ descriptions or be randomly generated. It was a fantasy strategy game but same principal as this epic

Damn! Not funny! Reasonably funny...
Space superiority gives the planet invader a advantage, its assumed they have complete control of space around yr world. After all if they did'nt u would have blown the invaders to space dust long before they reached yr world would'nt u?
The devs have 'noticed' the carrier posts No wonder! There have been dozens such threads. I would like to see carriers, the space shuttle is really a 'primitive carrier' (but the peak of our technology today), it is used to launch satellites, spa
I don't know if you'll be able to play under the GC2 rules/mechanics or not once you've upgraded. I'll have to ask her about that tomorrow. Cheers Kryo. Look forward to the info. My post was designed to find some info on how Dark Avatar would meld into GC2. I personally hope u have the option of playing GC2 v1.3 (or whatever) o
A whole quadrant of the gigantic galaxy had all its previously uninhabitable planets turn class 13[/quote)The planets were useless...no bonus squares, just bland green tiles. I would hardly call a bunch of PQ 13's useless, with love, care those could become PQ 16 - 19+'s...a mini empire...
Cheers Frogboy, just downloaded the dominions 2 demo (none available for 3), I have heard good things about dominions on various forum threads, just played for an hr and it looks good so far. It certainly looks complicated but I am following the walkthru u can download and I can feel myself being sucked in. It looks to be very playable but the graphics r functional, no more. If it hooks me I may pay the $55 for dominions 3. Cheers again for the link.
If at 1st no one replies, give it a shove, especially near 12...
whats with you locking my post? nuclear warheads. The 'kids' started insulting each another...again
Shame the evil races have not got a 'people processor building' Too evil for GC2?
I don't think this topic as been discussed so far. If u r using the Dark Avatar expansion will u be able to play metaverse games? If so, how will scoring be effected? Will there be new Dark Avatar only metaverse medals to get? R we going to have another metaverse scoring correction, always popular and never controversial. The racial medal is interesting, with Dark Avatar introducing new races. Will everyone with the racial victory medal lose that med
Cool. I think the tech victory is the hardest to achieve personally, as it takes ages to research the techs, why it scores so low in the metaverse...I don't know. I got my 1 and only tech victory playing the Yor! Started off with the intention of liquidating all other races in the galaxy, ended up sitting there peacefully behind my military starbases trying to ascend before the other races wiped me out. Go figure?
It's all about deception, kindness, and information. Give gifts, spread out trade, provide to those in wars, and keep an eye on everyone. now this is how u run a civ. lol Or, alternatively u can blatently ignore the other civs, prepare for war from turn 1 then steamroller any and all opposition. Well laughing at there fe
library of pre-built ship packs you speak of? It's mods, just click on library to the upper left of this forum.
Do gravity have to make celestial bodies round? Yes. That is why any big object in space is a round sphere, suns, planets, black holes etc... It's all cause of gravity. If u made a ship or artifical planet big enough it would have to be a round sphere or it would collapse on its self. A fundamental rule of physics I believe.

I just check in once in a while to see if memory handling has been fixed so I can play it again The games been stable since v1.11. To reiterate, if you guys want a new game faster, skip DA entirely. This will ensur
Cheesy? I don't think so. I agree with random50. Military starbases r balanced now. They have already been nerfed since GC2 was released. U only needed to stick 1 attack module and got all attack/defense bonuses, those were the days. I never build them any more, just build warships now, faster, more manoeuvreable on the map.
That's your own problem. Deal with it, since you can't get gates. Please never get a job with the samaritans or as a counsellor. It's just not u Marcathonas.
