Please Help me set up a game where as The Terrain Alliance, I can't "turtle" forever

February 13, 2009 9:44:50 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Is there a simple (or even not so simple) way that I can disable the Terrain Alliance's super ability and/or lesson their diplomatic modifiers?

I like playing as them, but I'm finding it too easy (and advantagious) to avoid war. In my last game, I won a diplomatic victory without a single battle. I'm beginning a new game and I want to be "good" ethically; don't want to start aggressive wars, but rather I'd like to be attacked or war to protect my allies.

If I can't disable the Terrain Alliance's super ability or lower their diplomatic bonuses, is there anything else I can do while setting up a game to make other races declare war on me? I already set the "evil" races aggression to high (between 75 and 100).

Thanks in advance

You could always use a custom with their tech tree...

You could also try turning up the difficulty level.

You can always stage aggressive wars while being ethically good, just bomb the crud out of them and send care packages to the survivors.

Turn off super abilities? I know, you don't want the AI races to not have them.

I think the higher difficultly level might do the trick, especially if all or most of the other races are evil. I think you definitely get earlier wars with higher levels. I have a game now that it took just 9 months for the Drengin to start a war with me. It is harder to keep up militarily at the beginning on hard game so you are seen as weak and that usually brings an attack.

Go into the raceconfig.xml and delete the <SuperAbility> field. This will eliminate the super ability permanently.
