You can set how other races view you before you start the game. IF you want a purely non-combat game,set everyone to be your bestest buddy in the whole galaxy. Sounds rather boring to me, but hey, to each thier own
OH forgot to mention, you can flash the bios on that mb too. I have the basic a8n 32-sli, 999,999 out of 1,000,000 dont need the bells and whistles that came with the deluxe and premium versions.
Dont sweat it man, was just teasing, hehe. I'm jelous. My system isnt bad either though (nowhere near as nice though) athlon 64 x2 3800, 1 gig dual chan ram, 6600 XFX nvidia. hoping to swing a 7800 or dual 6800's this summer.
Ok, StarBane has entirely to much cash. I'm calling for a council vote to see if he has to share 10% of his income with the rest of us for 3 years.
David Webber. Chris Bunch. John Ringo. Lois McMaster Bujold. These are some of my fav authors. www.Baen.com has a free section where you can read entire books. Has about 150 titles you can read online or dl. What they do is give you the first book or two in the hopes you'll buy more of the series. Check em out.
Yes it was conquest. I dont like the other types of victories, I want it all, heh.
Just finished my first ever Metaverse game. Never bothered posting back during my GC1 time. 143,720, masochistic, custom race. More to come, moving up to Suicidal next. wish me luck
Gal Civ has never been about the fight. It's about all that leads up to the fight, and after. The graphics your seeing are just a pretty way of seeing the dice rolls that decide who wins.
To post a score on Metaverse do you ahve to start the game from the beginning while logged into teh Metaverse? I've never bothered posting back when i played GC1, so I'm rather a noob to it. Just finished a Masochistic game with a score of 132 k and would like to post it, heh. Thanks for any info.
If you trade it to an ally that is shortly conqured it would revert back to you. As you hold the " Galactic Wonder". All your doing is "licensing" the use of said Wonder. Not the Wonder itself. If you capture a world with a Wonder on it and you had previosly traded for it, it will show up in your trade screen then. I dont know if this is the case if the AI had traded it to someone else prior to capture.
#6 Irks me to no end. You have to keep sensor ships active or they 'shut down" and go to base sensor range (like 3). Lost a very valuable fleet (was tiny hulls with 20 hp's due to experiance up's) because i didnt see Opfor coming in time. To keep sensor ship active just leave it active, ie not on guard duty. All in all, at teh rate tiny flaws are being cought and fixed.. new content added, this is prob the best game I've bought in t
If your referring to newer better weapons and defense. Those ahve to be researched. If your referring to just the extra parts to gussy up how your ship looks, thier to the left side of your screen of where the frame your attaching them too is.
If your not designing your own ships your missing a HUGE part of the fun of GC2. My fav set up is a tiny frame with the cheapest gun and shielding you can get to fit on the frame. Minaturerization is also a factor here. Think you need the first step done to squeeze both onto a tiny frame. Why would you build tiny frame ships you ask? Because with 2 to 4 military bases around them, overlapping, they're godly. It smashes the pe
Ok, mix Civilization and Gal Civ. You have to start on a world living in daub and waddle huts. To space, where you meet the Dread Lords ! Then once in space. Let Aliens try to take over planets by populateing them along side you and you go back to war ala Civ style. I'd lose my job, heh. That would be a game I couldnt stop playing.
When taking over an AI planet with a Hyperion Shrinker or Hyperion Logistics System I've been recieving the bonuses for those. Having already built said improvments on my own worlds I would think those would not stack as they're "one per race" items. I know one of the patches was supposed to have made Galactic Wonders show as being taken. But I didnt think it also applied to Hyperion items. Was this intended? This seems unbalancing to me. I'm gues
I'd love to see all the "jewelry" numbered. Theres plenty of room on the first line that each item has for text. I think it just says something like "Structure" is all right now. It would be nice if the "structure" was followed by a number, example, Structure 1, Structure 2, Struture 3, etc. Maybe put the diff jewelry is better order then it is now also (yes this is a small thing, but would be handy). Currently there are nacells all over the place
New vid cards can be had for wayless then $100.00 at Newegg.com and Tiget direct.com. Now these wont be super cards or anything like that, but Tiger had a XFX GF6200 for like 60 bucks in thier monthly catalog last month. And on a side note, I hate Tiger now. So check out Newegg first , hehe. In the $100.00 range you can get a name brand (XFX, BFG etc) NvidaGF 6600. Which is a fairly nice card. For about $150.00 (often less) you can get
Bump (with more info) Ok, I've figured out what the problem is with Cronstructor speeds. When the United Planets meet, one of the "agendas" that you may vote on is constructor speed. When this happens it locks constructors to that speed, and that speed only. Even putting extra engines on wont let them go faster. You still "pay" for the extra. Just no speed boost from it. Have not been able to find out whats causing my ships n
My constructors wont go over thier basic speed. I put extra engines on them and they will still only go the basic speed. This is the second game this has happened. It happens at later stages of teh game after several or all of the engine techs have been researched it seems. I've posted this once before. I have no clue how this could be reproduced. Second glitch/bug seems to be in the military rateing i get. I've noticed my rateing doesnt seem to move at all some times. Even tho
I've finished researching all engines. After i did the last research catagory it seems my constructors wont go the full distance they shoudl. This is not crashing the game, but it is affecting the distance my constructors travel each turn. I've tried build an entire new constructor ship (several times) from scratch with the same results. When a ship finishes building it shows that it has 23/8 moves left. It will move 23 spaces and stop. On it's next turn it only reads as 8/8 and will only
Would it be possible to make it so players can place hard points ? That would just make ship building EXPLODE! Oh, and make it simple for software moron's such as myself, pretty please
All of the above. A new trade route isnt worth very much, it's part of the game design. As your frieghters move further along the trade route they make money as they go. Till they reach home base and unload all teh goodies and profits they've made. Then tehy start all over again. In GC1 they also gained value the longer a raoute had been up. Like say a freighter had made the same route 10 times, back and forth. And you started a new frieghter along the same route. The new one wouldn't be
Certain political parties have "Luck" as one of thier "abilities". If you then also buy another "Luck" ability level you really up your odd's of getting Rangers. I almost always try to have max Luck, gotta love Rangers
Having your Capitol on a planet does give you a bonus now. Thats similar to what you asked. You can move your Capitol now if you choose. I also liked the suggestions of Talon and Binester. One thing that did disappoint me about GC2 was the use of the old GC1 text you get when you colonize a new planet. Or when you some crisis on a established planet crops up. All new and fresh would of been much better IMHO Love the game <img src="http://images.stardock.co
