Please inform me if I am wrong, but this is something I thought was really... well... wrong...
I had nine models of one ship and wanted to upgrade all of them to a newer model. I went to the Upgrade menu and clicked the one I wanted to buy. The cost was 846 BC and then checked the upgrade all box... I expected the price to be around 7500'ish BC (7614BC to be exact). However, upon checking the upgrade all box, the price went up to 9600'ish... which anyone can see is WAY off from 846 BC x 9 ships.
Problem solved though... go through and update each ship invidually. Yes, it was a pain in the #$%^@, but it saved me about 2000 BC.
Anyone know why GalCiv II fails Basic Math?
Next problem, buying social projects... I was converting a conquered planet the AI was using for economics to a technology planet. (Ironically the AI put it's Tech capital and Ecomic capital on the same planet with only one research center) I was going to purchase some upgrades going from a Stock Market to a Research Academy. Figuring it wouldn't be much since Stock Markets are expensive. 596 BC was the first one's cost, second one was 384BC, and the third was 448BC.
Why does the cost vary so much for identical upgrades? They were all built on Prairies and all had no producion started. I've also noticed that most of the time upgrading same builings to other same buildings usually cost a lot more or less once I start going deeper into the tech tree for upgrades. For example. Emphatic Defense, upgrade from Stock Market on class 12, 39996 BC, upgrade from Stock Market on class 11, 37876BC, getting someone to figure out how and why, priceless, sorry had to throw that in...
Anywho, any replies would be appreciated!
