Yeah, they look great. It is much easier to tell whose ship it is merely by look. Unfortunately, it also takes a bit more out of video cards. Worth it though.

Good News Everybody! Anyhoo, I to explain a little more clearly what I mentioned earlier, I played another game with things tweaked a little. This time I noticed the same problem: the evil AI Civs built up their military later than they normally did(in DL). For most games I find that this means that the non-evil Civs usually walk all over them. This time, however, that wasn't the case. They lasted on a bit, and then things went much better. The Drengin, who had usually been pi

I just played another game, tweaked things a little, and the evil civilizations finally started to build up militarily. However, they were much, much slower in this than the good/neutral civilizations. While things seem more balanced now, I wonder why this is the case.

Funny, I find the Korath to be a bigger challenge than the Drengin. All too often the Yor and the Drengin are a pushover. The Korx seem to fair a little better, if only because of their trade advantage, although they never seem to exploit that properly.

I don't know if I am the only one, but it seems as though the evil civilizations are not nearly as dangerous in the latest versions of DA. When playing on tough or intelligent, it seems as though they severely lag behind on building up their military. Several times I have entered the mid-game and the evil AI just starts to build ships. Is anyone else noticing this? Is there something wrong with my settings? I have checked, and I haven't accidently gimped their resources or AI at all.

Are there actually any plans to add cloaking at one point?

Yeah, it must be bugged then. A pity, because I am enjoying DA at the moment. Asteroid Fields alone really changed the game. Now barren star systems can have some significant strategic worth because of the fields alone.

the shadows. Give neutral a kind of greyscale appearance. Well, thats my 2 cents for the day.

y troops actually make it onto the starbase .

nge to the diplomacy in the game, as well.

Black holes could also have a positive effect on research at nearby starbases and planets, as they would be excellent places to observe scientific phenemona.

Now this is what I am talking about! Laying out what each phase of Beta means, and then giving rought estimates of their timetables. Knowing what is expected from Beta Testers means a lot.

shop by the Arceans would lead them to discover a Precursor industy tech, which would boost their industry. This tech could later be stolen and or traded for by other races.

Moons bases defenses could include beam, kinetic, and missile types of weapons. They would make planets with moons significantly more attractive and worthwhile to colonize.

d, evil or neutral. Good nations will stick to military targets, while evil nations bomb planets into submission, or exterminate the existing population while keeping the infrastructure for their own use.

I assume there will also be jamming technology as well?

"# More types of Star Bases. (I) had one type of starbase. (II) will break it up into several different types of star bases with their own improvement trees." I got that of f the database. I have looked all over the forums for any threads on the subject, and seeing none, I decided that this was a topic I should bring up. What kind of starbases are there going to be in GC2? Will they be divided between military and civilian? Or between more specific

ke the primary target the ship with the most firepower. That is the only solution that makes sense.

ber them talking about moons though... 3c) Perhaps as a means of adding more "tiles" to a planet later in the game?

ions of miles, and distances between stars are measured in trillions of miles, there really is appreciable difference in distance between the former on a galactic scale.

oblem, I suspect, for maps with a greater concentration of habitable planets.
