Trade in CG2

November 19, 2004 3:48:04 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I posted some thoughts on this in the starbase discussion but decided a seperate discussion would be good.

Is trade going to be revamped in CG2?

The issues I have with trade in CG1 are
- all trade routes are between the same planets for maximum income
- limit on number of trade routes
- there is no 'competing' with the AI to become a trading power

What I would like to see is these three issues addressed WITHOUT serious micromanagement. Not an easy task.

Any suggestions?

lds, setting defensive starbases, sensor drone and fighter garrisons, etc. The long route also makes it worthwhile to build economic starbases and put several freighters on a given run.

e especially important if multiple identical trade routes reduced the value of each trade, as you don't want the human player to have to waste time calculating values. Just choose.

in red" certain areas "illegal for trading". The player could paint in red all areas where freighters should not pass, which could include planets in this same system. So the player still can block certain routes without any big hassle.

I like the idea of using your trade starbase to target another civilisations trade income. Would really open up the strategy and supply lots of good reasons for war!

to me that if you "built" an item, you'd want it to "automatically re-route", rather then get discarded and be required to build a new one.
