1. a-  add additional mega events.  (example birth of new star system)                                                                 b-  add an option to turn off certain mega events instead of all on or off.
2. a-  add additional random events.  (example double income half research [trade off options instead of only money])     b-  add an option to turn off certain random events instead of all on or off.
3. slower tech tree option
4. make dread lords more difficult. (especially as you reach the top of the tech trees)
5. Back in Dread Lords (before Dark Avatar and Twilight) Minor races actually expanded to other planets.  Once again give them the option to expand but of course at a much slower rate then the major races.  (right now they are but a bug to squash and they don't even have a bite).
6. Add an economy bonus tile.
7. more race pictures and logos.

Thanks for all your hard work,

Hi Frogboy!

It is really appreciated that you are willed to spend your free time on our loved game!

I have few requests. Some smaller, some bigger, many unlikely that they will included – but it would be great if they are!

1.    Fix the glitch in the financial management screen on the economy tab: when you lock the distribution of military, social and science spending and play some turns, you will have same locks in place starting a new game. (so really a minor glitch)

2.       Improve the AI! (always good )

3.       Improve the balancing! (also good, but more difficult and time consuming. If you willing to do that the forum could      brainstorm with you for help and hints )

4.       Improve modability:

I know, the modding comunity never really took off with galciv2 – unfortunately. But still, you can do some funny stuff with the editors. But few things are lacking:

-          We cannot edit the tax generating formula and also the unhappiness formula for the game

-          We cannot edit how much yield asteroids offer (and how strong the distance penalties are)

-          I REALLY would love to be able to group buildings on planets and ship modules and enforcing a limit of how much of the goup items I can place on the planet / ship (like how much engines, how much deflector shilds, how much super-killing-secret-weapon-of-mass-destruction I can place on capital ships or how much market places of any type [former tier as later tier] on a planet and so on). It also would be cool to have the option to limit certain ship modules to certain hules (so you can differentiate between fighter weapons and capital ship weapons and so on) It really would help to make few things possible that currently are not.

 -       Beeing able to adjust tech inflation for my games (e.g. turning it off)

       Thanks

       Edit: seems like the forum software glitches when a text is imported from ms word with some formating done.

It would be nice if this could be taken care of:

https://forums.galciv2.com/366363 (strange AI taunt behavior)

Here's something I suggested once that would still be very nice: https://forums.galciv2.com/366364 (ability to randomize some races in a game while disabling or choosing others)

Also, one thing I find myself doing often is switching between the Domestic window (for setting taxes) and the colony governor window (for seeing their effect on approval). It would be really useful if a tax bar could be added to the colony governor window, or the "lowest approval rating" could be shown on the domestic screen.

Just suggestions!

No idea whether the idea is 'small,' but it's brilliant. (I also heartily second the module-stacking ideas.)

Somehow this one didn't get mentioned yet: Add a global toggle to disable auto-upgrade of improvements.
Perhaps the auto-terraforming toggle can get a global switch as well, while you're at it, but that's somewhat less annoying.

Ideally that single fix would be backported to DA and perhaps DL, but anything is better than nothing.

Additionally, please look into the tech inflation changes that were made from DA to TA; many of us (but not all of us, apparently?) have had ridiculously large research inflation in TA.  If not changing the mechanic, a hard cap on inflation, as exists in DL/DA, would be a Godsend.  I've had techs wind up costing 6 or 8 times as much as they do originally.  (Who knows, maybe there is a hard cap and it's just so high I never reach it.)

This inflation issue is really the #1 reason that I haven't migrated to TA full-time.  It's also not fun to pin down, at least from this end.

All I would like is improved AI performance in building, colonial expansion, and fighting in whatever way you can.  Thanks for coming back and improving an already great game.

Could we launch colony ships without civilians? Sometimes I'm shuttling people from a full world to a less populated world and I'd like to not need to put "1" on the ship just to send it back to pick up more people.

Super Projects should be rebuildable.  For example, if my Political Capital planet has been occupied by enemy forces I should be able to choose a new planet for a Political Capital.

Only if that also means that they're also always destroyed during a conquest. Otherwise, I suspect someone in the Millionaire's Club will figure out how to bring traditional Hyperion Shrinker farming into the age of industrial agriculture.

Smaller farms, rework of the useless food distro center. And whatever else we get is cool too.

In theory, sure, but this is incredibly abuseable, and you and I both know it.

1) Build super project.
2) Trade planet to ally.
3) Build same super project on new planet.
4) Trade new planet to ally.
And it just goes on and on until...
9999) Trade for your planets back-or invade.

We really don't need a galaxy with ~500 shrinkers.  A huge hull with 11,000+ space?  Are you shitting me?  20,000 attack single ships without any bonuses?  Maybe that's the Peacekeeper's secret...

And as if that wasn't bad enough...
Put them all in orbit around SCC planets, because that's an SP, too...

Or as an easier fix, eliminate zero as an option when launching. Make 1 the minimum number the slider goes to.

Also, add an option on the pop up for surveyors and miners: when we get the pop up about them shifting to standby, give us the option to stop auto altogether. I have having to go through the ship list to find the miners that are on standby, especially in the middle of an Immense game where I might have 100+ of them running at once.

And thanks for giving us hope for some new goodies, I finished an 800k+ game today, now I have to decide to start a new one or wait for a patch...
