Planet Class 18? What the...

February 27, 2006 5:25:19 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Alright, I was very suprised today to find a minor civilization based on a class 18 planet! I thought 16 was as good as it got. How exactly does a regular Civ go about getting a class 18 planet anyway? I know for certain they did not have soil enhancement since I was the one that sold it to them!

I've seen a class 26 planet in one of my games, though no one started on it.

I also had a class 26 planet in my last game right next to my home system. Luckily it was in a corner and I beat all AI's to it. The bad thing is it had no special bonus tiles. ;(

My third sandbox game began with a class 26 planet within two turns of my starting Colony ship, and within sensor range. It had one mfg bonus tile and one tech bonus tile. Still, it was a Class 26 that I was able to colonize before turn three...

Game I'm currently playing has a class 26 also, it's very nice.

What's the best bonus tile anyone has found? My homeworld has a 700% manufacturing bonus tile, along with several other lesser ones. Cranks is an understatement.

I'm noticed that all minor races start on a 15 or 16 world. It's nice when you take 'em down.

I'm about 6 hours into a game and My class 26 planet jumped to Class 37 when I picked the "Evil Option" with the Planet Quality increase bonus. Through a series of items built on the planet I think the Planet Class is now 61!

I had a class 18 planet get the "double quality" random event yesterday. That was nice. I've never seen anything better than that.

I like to trade with the minors...they'll give you tons of cash for crappy tech they won't use anyway. I sold planetary invasion to a minor today for 1300BCs. I empty their treasuries and then invade. Heck sometimes I even give em weapon techs for all the good it does them.

It's also good to wait until the minor builds an economic capital or tech capital, and *then* invade them. That way you can get more than on "capital" of that type.

THe minors are more likely to have really good planets since they don't colonize other planets. It also makes them more of a prize when you invade.

Now all you need is the event that doubles a planets quality, you'd be set! Think of it, a class 122 planet...

My highest that I found was a Class 19 in my current game, oh the sweetness! I can't wait for HUGE hulls, since I can put out some insane MP on that planet...

I had one minor surrender to another minor once -- could have been a similar situation.

Does the last terraforming tech actually help in increasing the planet quality? I seen maybe 1-2 more tiles open up... not a huge amount. Or am I mistaken?

In my current game I have a class 28 planet, and I still have two undeveloped tiles (they're red), which I think will push it to 30.

This came after a class 13 planet got hit by a random event that doubled its quality. It was in the hands of the Drengin, but I think my fleet left rubber trails in space with how fast they went to that planet to conquer it. The drengin were tough bastards in this game too, but I sure as hell wasn't letting THEM have that class 26 planet
