I agree that asking if someone would recommend the game to a friend would be better asked after someone selects to quit out of the software, and then having the software connect to the internet and send that information to you. I also agree that your next poll should ask what made each of us decide to purchase Galactic Civilizations 2, since finding out about the game and deciding to purchase the game are often to different factors. While I heard about the g

In addition to offering the demo download online, you may be able to get better exposure for the demo if you also can get a few game magazines to put a demo cd of your game in an issue or two of their magazines and put on the front of their magazine 'Galactic Civilizations 2 demo cd inside!' Also, I've heard some game publishers have gotten retailers like Software Etc, Gamestop, EB Games, Best Buy, and Comp USA to hand out demo cds of their

I'm a returning Gal Civ 1 player as well. I also heard about GalCiv 2, and the GalCiv2 website, from the GalCiv 1 website. I heard about Gal Civ 1 first from the MOO 3 box insert, but didn't really look into Gal Civ 1 until I saw a banner for it on Gamespot. I then hung around the Gal Civ 1 website and read the reviews for the game on Gamespot and Gamespy.

1) GNN report, PLEASE, i would love to be able to double-click on the report to jump to that planet, and not have to click on the report, and then move down to view. It sounds trivial, but i can't tell you how many times i've double clicked a report and been like, SH!T i forgot. 2) Colonized planet names being displayed in the owning race's color. 3) The ability to change production focus (military, social, research) from the Civi

If you think they'd be easy tweaks, the stardock devs would have better chance noticing them in the EASY TWEAKS thread, as that's where they look most often.

How about having both the "4 starbases per sector" and the "mininum of 3 spaces apart from each other" rules? That'd really make you think about strategy.

I'm not using the beta patch, but on 1.0X.1, my home planet, a class 11, had a cap of 10 billion, and a class 12 planet of mine had a cap of 5 Billion. By adding a farm, I've so far gotten my class 12 up to 7 billion. Unless, they've taken off the population cap in the 1.1 beta, that's what farms do, raise the population cap on the farm. Ofcourse, you have to be above 50% approval for your population to grow, so if your below tha

I talked to the Snathi in the Diplomacy Screen, and asked them to give me Missle Theory, and they said "Very well, we will give you tribute this time." However not only did it still show Missle Theory still on the Snathi's side of the screen, but I also did not receive the Missle Theory technology.

Well, if you take out the criticism, it's actually a pretty funny parody. I got a good laugh out of "expansion sandwhich".

If you have a high enough diplomacy skill you can actually buy the computers money. You can ask for 10,000 from the computer in exchange for 3000. You can continue to do this until you've absorbied their entire stock pile of money for free. This was done on Normal difficulty.

Some suggestions for player-selectable options to help with tech trading, that would be easy to implement: 1a) The player and AI races have to be both friendly with the other race and have a tech trade treaty for x amount of turns with that race, before the player or AI race can trade any tech with that race. If relations between the two races fall below friendly, the tech trade treaty is cancelled and no further tech trades are allowed until relations between the two races are frien

The ideas I like the best are for players to have the option to select these restrictions if he wishes to: 1a) The player and AI races have to be both friendly with the other race and have a tech trade treaty for x amount of turns with that race, before the player or AI race can trade any tech with that race or 1b) The player or AI race has to be allied with the other race before any tech trades are allowe

I remember reading that the devs are paying most of their attention the The Glitch Report and Easy Tweaks threads. If any of the ideas in here would be easy to implement, the Easy Tweaks thread would be the best place to get your voice heard. The ideas I like best are to have the option to do these or not: 1a) The player and AI races have to be both friendly with the other race and have a tech trade treaty for x amount of

IF you do decide to trade techs theres a big disparagement, yours are worth garbage and theirs are worth tons. ... Make trading worthwhile for those who aren't going to use the no trading option. I agree. We should be able to sell our tech to a race for roughly the same amount as the race would sell

So maybe a trade transaction in GalCiv 2 should cost around 150 to 300-400 bc each? This money would go back to the 'bank' and out of play, ofcourse. Not to the other race. In addition to this, you could have it so that you after you trade with a certain alien race, you have to wait somew

there should be some kind of cost for the diplomacy, any action should cost a little bit of money for the person that initate the deal. They do this in Hearts of Iron 2. Every trade and diplomatic action costs a certain amount of money, whether it was successful or not. Your allowed one trade with each nation a month, and then ca

I'm playing the game on Simple setting (still learning the game) and after I had a Defender ship blow away the Andinians' three scout ships it had orbiting Andinian IV I asked the Andinian's to give me Andinian IV as tribute, and they agreed to give it to me. Great. Only when I go back to galaxy mode, it shows the planet still under the Andinians' possesion, and when I go back into diplomacy mode, it shows the planet under their possesion still as well. It did the same th

Are there any mods for creating random events out yet? Have any random events been created by any modders yet?
