A few quick questions re: game mechanics

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just need a little clarification on a couple things:

1. If I trade a trade good, do I lose the bonus or do I get the bonus AND the race I trade it to gets the bonus also?
2. Can I eventually cancel a trade after I trade a trade good and get the bonus back (assuming I lose it in the first place)?
3. If I invade a planet using a "harsh" invasion tactic, e.g. mass drivers, and fail in my attempt to invade, does the planet still suffer the damage of the mass driver?
4. Is the Nano Ripper supposed to be available after Singularity Driver 4 but before Graviton Drivers? I'm running the original box version on my laptop (1.0something), so I don't know if this is a bug or normal.

TIA!

1. Both of you will have the bonus.

2. See 1. But you cannot take it back once you give it to another race.

3. No. (It's a cheese-balance descision)

4. Nano Rippers are a product of Singularity Driver IV. They are a lot more powerful, but they're also a lot more expensive.

1. The latter (you can also trade it to more than one race)
2. -
3. No, it doesn't.
4. No idea, sorry. Also, you really should upgrade your game.

Hehe

Thanks Kryo, and thanks Todd for trying. I plan to update it soon, I usually play on the home PC, not the laptop, so I haven't bothered yet.

I realise i don't know some things about trade goods....

If i buy a trade good from a race and the trade good is destroyed do i loose the bonus myself?

I would assume that if a trade good i own myself is destroyed, i would loose the bonus rite? would races i sold it too loose the bonus as well?

Can a trade good be built again if it is destroyed?
