Uber Techs

June 17, 2006 5:08:14 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
After playing my first GalCiv2 game I noticed that this great game still lacks some things. The most important (for me) of these blanks is lack of uber technologies, such as Planet-Destroying tech (It doesn't sound stupid, does it?), complete or partial terraforming of unusable planets. The main problem is that after playing GalCiv2 for a couple of months (in-game) you get to know all the tech available. Every next tech is just a better version of the previous one (except for non-military techs). And my question here is- Are some of these things going to be implemented in the expansion or some patch?

Yes. And they do sound stupid. Terror Stars were removed for being unbalanced, the AI could never use them. But frankly, genocide runs are so far beyond cheesy as to be absurd and laughable in my opinion. Just use uber D00m rays of d00m. Simple!

Back on topic, both planet destroying starbases and terraforming will be in the expansion.

Back off topic, there is a search button. Please use.

When you think of it, Planetary Invasion IS the uber-weapon. You simple and purely annihilate an entire population to take its place (and money!$$$)

complete or partial terraforming of unusable planets.


The dev mentions this tech to be included in the upcoming expansion pack. check out the journals section for more info.

Play as neutral... The Neutral Learning Centers are pratically what you're talking about... You're probably right in that there should be more overall variety in the game. Perhaps each race should have a building/ weapon that only it can build/develop.

Dregin could have military barracks which raise soldiering.
Torians could have cloning facilities...etc...

NLCs are just a better version of other research establishments. They are a lot better of course, but I think what the OP was looking for was some extra options to become available later in the game due to research, kinda like Planetary Invasion/Weapons/Trading in the early game.

As others have said, Planetary Terraforming and Terror Stars will be making their appearance in the expansion. They'll definately be an awful long way up the tech tree though.
