I agree guys. Most MP games are best played against other players as even the best AI is flawed. That said there is nothing worse than people using "cheese" tactics. These are the people who obey the letter rather than the spirit of the law. They only gain gratification from victory and not from the thrill of playing. It is a sadly imature mind-set that is unfortunately often seen in those who should be old enough to know better. The problem exsits in FPS as well as RTS where people will e

Have had the same problem. We are discussing it here... Link Hope this helps.

Argh! Drivers! Page file! Update! Firstly: Update your drivers. Anything 2004, I'm surprised it runs at all. Secondly, increase page file to about 2 gig. Thirdly: update to 1.1 I'm using pretty recent drivers for my nVidia 7200GT, downloaded them about a month ago. I have updated to v1.11. How do I increase page file? A

BUMP me too... During my current game in v1.11 I have reached a point where, for some reason, the turn button disapears and will not come back. It occurs immediatley after clicking to end turn. It happens despite reloading the saved game. After loading it will allow one or two turns before the problem re-occurs. It is as if the AI starts its turn and gets into a loop immediately as no ships move, not even mine on autopilot. I have to fully quit GalCIv and reload for it to come ba

27 and 3 fifths! Just posting to see if my "medals" are working. Fingers crossed. ....... hooray! it did!

Ouch, did you have your spending on 100%? If not that's why your production didn't increase despite building factory. Now if you can find a way to make that happen with + rather than a - ........ And Razius.. maybe you should change your name to Devious lol

Seems to be a little bit cheap to pick the races with better bonuses, particularly the Drath. That said I might give it a go to get me over the hump from tough to harder games. I play on smaller maps and such help will probably help me survive the early game. Thanks for the info guys, Korx and Thalans here I come! For "the loosers" - LOL <

I pay for their colonies AND most of their military production (worked it at max espionage What do you mean? By gifting them cash? What does the mmax espionage thing have to do with it? BTW is there an easy way to follow posts I have made? I am logged in but when I go to "your posts" I see nothing. Of course, this means I will p

I play tough and have not noticed a perticular rush from the AI to trade on tech. I frequently trade things with the minor races (who seem more inclined to give up more for less) and notice that a few turns on that stuff hasn't always filtered to the major races. I don't think it works like Civ3 when giving a tech to someone meant everyone would have it next turn. The AI must only trade tech tactically. As a side note it is a good tactic to trade trade goods with the minor races as it has a

Guys, great work! Is there anyway to download these ship design files and use them in my games? I like the idea of cool ships but am not creative enough (read: far to lazy to) design any myself. Directions where and instuctions how to would be welcome. Also if you upgrade a ship but save it as a different name will the original model remain as well as the upgrade? Thanks.

What about a hybrid combat mechanism. Say..the first round uses current system (attacker fires, then denfender fires back if he lives) ...then all subsequent rounds use original mechanics (both ships fire and defend same round). This is a pretty good idea as it maitains the tactical element of battle rather than just creating lots o

I agree that the system is not ideal but the best soloution would be that you are not charged for excess production. Your multiple build soloution would require extra control fields incase you do not want to build multiple craft in one turn. Also this way prevents people (or the AI) just spamming huge fleets of small craft which I woulds forsee as being very annoying (and perhaps requiring a fair degree of micromanagement of their own). OldDocc.. surely if you are building no social
