Reply to Possible Bug in 1.2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yea I have noticed this, apparently 1.2 has 'improved' planetary development to good. Not so sure that is true however, I have advanced spying on the other races and on some planets with free tiles they r not building anything. I am playing on suicidal lvl as well.

U do eventually get 'a tendency to conquer others' appearing as a negative in race relations with all other races in the galaxy. This can result in them all ganging up on u.

Took me 25 mins of restarts to get that! Sad, I never restart. The precursor mine went from mythical (ie... non-existant) to fairly common, possibly too common. After installing 1.2, the first game I played got a precursor mine on the very

For instance last game I have played was a Battle of the Gods on Challenging in a Gigantic Galaxy. The word here is challenging, up the level for a harder game. Sounds to me like u mastered challenging level a long time ago. For a extreme game try suicidal, 1.2, no tech trading, 1 good race vs all 3 evil races in a large galaxy, everything a

Reply to Korean Test Missile in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I love how the Europeans are trying to act manly now that there is no Soviet threat. All through the cold war they begged and pleaded, "pleeeeeeease put your nuclear missliles here and aim them at the Soviet Union" and "pleeeeeease put tens of thousands of your troops here and point them at the Soviet Union". The U.S. should have let the Soviets roll through Wes

Reply to Korean Test Missile in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Strange thread, is this missile launch big news in the US? In europe its not making the news at all, not even as small news item at the end. Loads of countries test missiles all the time, why the big deal? Perhaps because North Korea could hit the western US with one? It won't, so long as the US leaves it alone and stops sabre rattling...

Reply to Carriers - I know the debate has raged before... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think that carriers would be a great addition to this game. I just keep picturing a huge carrier dropping out of warp and a bunch of little fighters pouring out to attack a starbase. That's a cut scene from MOO2!

Reply to Carriers - I know the debate has raged before... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

What if there were a ship componant FighterBay? Like in master of orion u mean? I do not want to see GC turning into MOO. Having said that however I would like to see carriers in GC, I think they would fit in very well in the game, good to watch in tactical combat too. So I 5th the motion.

Reply to Newbie question re: The research tree in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You should really try designing you own ships instead of using the lame core ships. I NEVER use core ships except at the very beginning for the initial colony, etc ships. I never use core ships full stop. I even design a new colony ship at the start of the game. U can get a extra parsec of movement by doing this. In answer to your

Oh hell yes. Did you not see? asteroid belts. ASTEROIDS! Wow! Just had a brain wave, ouch, that really hurt. Inspired by the above plus star trek:enterprise plus starship troopers I suppose. How about sometime in the future (perhaps GC 3), a new weapon, that can move an asteriod out of its orbit and send it plunging into the plane

it should build some ships with 4 or 5B capacity, wait 'til *all* 10B troops are ready and THEN attack Yes I agree completely the AI should conduct the war this way, it should also fleet those with a strong fleet. But it does'nt and definately will not until 1.3 is released. Also to be fair its impossible for the developers to counter every s

maybe the reduction shown is the total reduction to the planetary production from sabotaging that tile? I got the impression, just the individual tile was effected. I guess it will depend on how many agents you

I like the sound of things too. sabotaging tiles could be ok - imagine sabotaging that 700% manufacturing tile! and i guess you could sabotage multiple tiles on a planet too. will be interesting to see how it works! In the example screenshot, it shows a manufacturing tile being sabotaged, it says production from the tile is being reduced by 20%
