What is your playing level? What are the galaxy setting? Could you describe us what you do in your games? You should perhaps take a look at the strategy forum here http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GS. There are some threads for tips to beginners. [Message Edited]

[quote]I recently bought a magazine called Score in a local store here in Czech Republic. The full version of Galactic Civilizations was included, but I didn't find any cd-key!

[quote]but when I didn't get the cool wizbang cutscenes[/quote] Well, there aren't many cutscenes in Galciv: at the beginning, at the ending and some small cutscene for first (first colony, first trade route, first starbase ...) + some animation for improvements and tech.

[quote]I purchased GC a while back...sometime around it's first release. I loaded it up along with all the current patches. For some reason I am not getting cut scenes and all the other goodies that it seems other players are getting.[/quote] Have you get all patches with Stardock central? If it is the case, there is a separate download for the multimedia files.

As I have stated in another thread, if would be great if you have cheked the debug.err file to know the pol party taken by the AI as well as the tech they have found/exchanged, since this could have an influence on their stats. More, for the sake of clarity, a repost of your method in this thread would have been nice.

Ok, you have conviced me that AI have bonus at any level. I think you forgot at least one: AI have PQ bonus at higher level. It would be better if you have checked the debug. err file to know what tech have the AI (and the asscoiated abiity bonus) since universal translator give 10% in diplomacy. But still, I don't consider these bonus given at start as cheat.
