A few quick questions

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi All,

A few quick noob questions about the game:

1. When you set up a game, you can select the difficulty level (I'm playing on Normal right now, though I plan to go to the next highest level soon). You can also set the intelligence of the other races at "random". Does the range of the randomly-selected intelligences depend on your difficulty level, or is it random across the whole spectrum? I.e., if I'm on Normal difficulty, is it possible to have random intelligences be higher than Normal?

2. Similar question: for randomized intelligences, is it set individually by race, or are all races set to the same intelligence?

3. In the ship design tool... if I "delete" a design, is it gone forever? (I know that if I obselete a ship design that it is gone from the current game only).

Thanks in advance!

1&2 - AS far as I understand it the difficulty you choose sets the intellignece for the AIs. If you select Randomize Intelligence, it will select different intelligences for each of the AIs in game, but together they will average to the difficulty level you chose. So you will most likely end up with some on Normal, 1-2 a level higher and 1-2 a level lower than Normal.

3. If you delete the design it's gone permanently.

I'm new to the game myself, but this what I understand it to be.

Welcome to the galaxy !

Hi!

... you will most likely end up with some on Normal, 1-2 a level higher and 1-2 a level lower than Normal.

That's pretty correct. However I strongly recomend NOT doing that. The races with higher "inteligence" will have too much an advantage over races with low "inteligence". Even with all AIs at the same level I've noticed some are really too weak to compete with warmongers. Don't imbalance the game even more by choosing random inteligence.
