Reply to My 41000 point score from AP wont post on Met? Says it is a scenario? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you play games with 1.49K, save your game with a unique name after you reach victory condition but before last ship performs movement and starts victory movie. You should be able to reload and press spacebar for last ship and win game when the new build (presumably 1.49L) is available. As far as your last game, go back to most recent save and play as close to victory as you can get before victory movie starts, then save with unique name so you can finish it quickly when next build i

OK I figured out why appears that it subtracts immediately sometimes and sometimes not. It depends on what happens directly after an upgrade. Case #1 When I know I have a number of constructors arriving at various starbases, I usually do the upgrade that requires BCs last. In this case the BCs from the last upgrade do not subtract until you press the "turn" button. Case #2 A contructor arrives at starbase that really needs an upgrade that requires BCs, so I up

Ouch!!! Now that is nasty! Conversely, people have won games when all of the evil empires' planets converted while playing good. Probably, all homeworlds should be immune to "fundy" conversion in order to make people earn their wins and losses.

[quote]It may have given the wrong message[/quote] As far as I can tell this message only pops up if the cost of the module takes your BC total below zero. One problem is that if you have 150 BC total to spend and you buy a 100 BC module for a starbase, the 100 BC does not immediately get subtracted from your total. It gets subtracted at the very end of your turn just before the AI runs its turn. If you don't pay attention to your total before and after you buy the first module, you loo

In fact beating the Korx is irrelevant ( I won with the Korx still having a system). Freighters and high diplomacy with relatively few defense ships (no higher than battleaxe are required).

[quote]Close relations with Altarians means victory[/quote] To win you need the to get from "friendly" to "close" relations. Try gifting the Altarians techs, ships, BC, or even a system or two. As long as you have one system left when relations become close you win.

I also found that an alliance win was unsubmittable. In addition, although the campaign saves now showed up in save/load menu, they could not be deleted using the del button even though the del button would delete normal games. I had to exit game and manually delete the campaign saves from the campaign save folder.

[quote]I'm going to be making the changes to show campaign saves in the normal load/save game dialogs. Also, the reset button CAN reset the campaign. You just choose the Restart campaign button. It is also reset in that the game automatically picks your latest save game, so the game you pick when you hit reset may be reseting it to earlier in the campaign. The word "Load" would have been misleading because you aren't immediately loading it when you hit that button. "Change" or "Select" is va

Hmmm... I just finished a "maso" game in which I flipped a number of systems. The key "seemed" to be having culture SBs and/or planets in at least 5 of the 8 surrounding sectors plus significant advantage in universal influence. Localizing influence in one sector is less effective than spreading it over several adjacent sectors.

Two new civs: 10/10 -adds to complexity of individual games New ships: 5/10 -I never seem to need to build these new type of ships Campaign: 7/10 -seems to be most beta aspect of game -cause CTDs that main game doesn't have -interface needs polishing -campaign was fun and challeging when not crashing -great potential for fan generated campaigns Editors: no grade -have not really tried them

I've only seen a revolution twice in 20+ games. A message appears that says an opposing empire has undergone civil war/revolution (don't remember exact wording) and several planets have suceeded to form a new empire that now acts like a new minor. The last time I saw it, every Altarian planet joined the newly formed minor empire and Altarians disappeared as a major empire.

I recently had a game that in one single turn, both The Fundamentists appeared flipping several Yor and Dregin planets and the Altarians had a revolution that formed a whole new empire. Needless to say the influence of the map really changed dramatically. Luckily I was good at the time. This kind stuff is what makes the game great. Never a dull moment. ;)

what happens when one civ surrenders to another? Do they get the techs? Answer: no Also the Yor may surrender to any empire (yours included) still alive even if only one is attacking. Another words the Yor might stick it to the Arcean and surrender to you instead. The Arcean might capture 1 tech for every Yor system they sucessfully invade though. Finally planets turned by cultural influence do not yield any techs but all social builds are retained as w
