1 Bug, 1 Suggestion

March 30, 2008 8:34:00 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

First the Bug... In the Iconian tree, the economic buildings don't seem to be automatically upgrading.   If this is by design, it's fustrating because I build *tons* of economic buildings, and upgrading them individually is harsh.

Second is a play style suggestion...   If this can be done currently, in the interest of user friendly-ness, it should be made easier to accomplish.  It may well stem from my ignorance of the system, and if that is the case, it would be less fustrating if this were somehow made more clear in the UI.

I would love to be able to play the AI at it's maximum level without the AI recieving artifical bonuses.   Currently, if I change the AI to god-like, it ups the playstyle setting, which I understand includes bonuses to the AI's performance and penalties to the player.    If there was some way to display which penalties and bonuses are being applied at the startup in addition to the AI level, that would be nifty.

That is all.

The third Iconian eco building is one-per-planet so level 2 buildings can't upgrade to it.

If you set difficulty to tough and enable the advanced algorithms the AI will have no bonuses. There are never penalties for the player as far as I know.

Well, while it may be true they only have 2 buildings, when it comes time to upgrading them, it still takes me about 30 minutes to do it manually. That's actually a game killer for me.

As far as the AI settings go: Cool... but it'd be alot handier to have that sort of information avaiable at a glance. I'm just guessing at this point, but it appears that the goal of the pre-game interface is to enable the user to play the kind of game they want, and a little tweak to display that information might further that a little bit more.

The text actually reads "Force AI to use Max CPU."  It's on the "Game" tab of the options screen, near the screenshot format.

Cool. Had it checked. Again though, would be nice to have all that information in the UI of the setup phase of the game.
