I bet it will be a "not many races-many faction/races" feature. Less, less, less ship-designing.. Think of StarCraft Terrans: Confederation Sons of Khoral Umojan Federation (?) Kel-Morian Protectorate (Something like that..) so about the Zergs, and etc.. If you applied it to GalCiv2, you would have the Terrans, the Torians and the Drengins. But there wo
2 questions: - what will be the mod-compatibility of this marvelous/drool-provoking game? - Can you make it possible to import ship designs from the GalCiv2's library? (based on simple "look")
True. It was so cool/frustrating playing the Federation. Your support would get high really often, but you would be just useless in war, 'cause no planetary invasion was allowed.. However, I onced manage to get a Federation-wide "fanatic" morale level by liberating a minor species from the Cardies and making them member within the same round. I just looved it
The difference is that those topics are actually relevant discussion material, since they relate to GC2. Plus, one is already under consideration for GC3, one is possibly coming to GC2 after DA, and the third is just a hopeless idea that just won't happen Ohohoh? First time I heard about them.. (well, I knew you would impliment Tac combat in GC3
Everyone else seems to agree that politics are just too divisive a topic to allow here, Not that I want to come back on what I said earlier, but about divisive topics.. - Tactical Combat - Multiplayer - Carriers
A'right. I can see where political discussion in the game specific forums would be severly frowned upon. That's not the place. I'll definately give you that All right. No more politics on GalCiv2 forum. These last line finally convinced me. Saddly, but rightly. Except, off course, if we are speaking of the manigances of the Drengin Empir
The way I see it, factories and tech labs are government-runned complexes, while Economical bonus buildings favor the private industry. If you BUY something, you invest directly in private industry.. mm.. maybe we could try to put in a money loop, where you get back in taxes what you invest in private industries?
Kryo, I followed the link you showed us, and I am sorry to report that.. *ahem*, the kind of arguments that are talked over there are WAY, WAY below what I expect from the GalCiv2's forum. This forum is about the only one I actively read political arguments (even if it doesn'T concern GC2) because we aren't here mainly to argument about politic, but because we all love the game. Peoples should not gather because they want to talk politics, it leads to the kind of stupidity you often see
The OP isn't saying they are better then any other group, he's just marveling at thier kindness and chairity in the matter. Most people wouldn't blame the guy's family, but very few would likely go to such great efforts, inspite of thier own loss, to reach out with such kindness. He's being kind and reflective, and there is no need for you to get in a huff about it.
Why the Amish more than any other community? Why would you blame a man's family base on his action? Do they participated, helped him, supported him? If you feel that way, how do you think they feel? Don't you think they just want to disapear from the world's magnifying lence called the Media? Edit: It seems to me the Amish needs much less help than any other community that has real problem in school violence. The Killer (in Hell he Burns) was not an Amish. However,
I wonder how many people still think that politician who "really care for the family-values" and all that kind of nonsense after the recent scandale. I mean, they are simply advancing their agenda/political career by being hypocrit about these "values". And their ennemies are trapped, because since these liars already took the mantle of "family values", no one can oppose them on these ground! We recently had one of these hyprocit recently, in Canada. He's a member of the conser
remind you of something...prehaps maybe the "patriot act" The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either. Benjamin Franklin it's nopatriotic to say such things, don'T you love your country? You want the ennemy to win? (oh, I've heard those words so many times, they make me sick... I l
What do the AI and Bush have in common? "A" What do the AI and Bush not have in common? "I" We have a winner!
But except for some techs, there is no way I can increase the defensive capability of my planets. And I never use Tidal Disruption or Mass driver, btw. If I can't conquer a planet without blowing it up, then I shouldn't. And I absolutely REFUSE to allow planet-by-planet soldering training. It's empire-wide, period. If we didn't do that, we would be able to exploit the AI's weaknesses. Right now, the AI sits on huge amount of money he could spend on more soldering (since solderi
Good point. My own transports can attack from 50 spaces away. No AI ever shot one. Ever. If the AI would make that kind of ship, I guess it would be a whole different game...
It's true that "flagging" a planet in diplomatic options would be nice. Ye know "This planet is mine or suffers the consequences". If the AI doesn't really care about it, "Fine", if the AI wants it, "Okay, if you pay me 1000 BC".
Okay.. what about: You can increase the bonus only by +1 soldering a week? exemple: you invest 0$ right now. You have 10b population. The max you can raise the military budget is +10bc/week. the next week, you still want more, you raise it a +10bc more.. etc.. eventually, with constant increase, you reach +50 soldering, which cost you a big (relative) 500bc/week. The problem is, now you need more $, can you simply turn it down, flushing your military bugdet do
If would be nice to have a slider, to volountary invest into military training among the population. If would be REALLY REALLY simple: You invest 400 bc/week into military training. ($ chosen with the slider) you have 20 billion population 400/20 = +20 Soldering bonus for the next turn, as long as you keep spending the money, your soldiers can fight better. It would be a good way for the A.I. who has too much money but not ennough soldering to be more efficien
I would love to have high-tech starports that offer military production points..
I would like to ask the developpers if it is in the realm of possibility, with our current level of software developpement, that we could not only build an AI that reacts to our actions (because, let's face it, the AI is currently very good to REACT, 400% more than most game I played), but to establish a general strategy, thinking on a chain of actions as a whole, rather than going for the targets of opportunity or usual "fleet + transport". I mean, look at my actual game. The Altarians
yeah that is a good point, however when you think your allied with someone you wouldnt expect them to attack while your upgrading, but that is a good point tho. Oh, me and the Iconians weren't looking for any deep relationship. We already settled our situation on "just friends" (until I became jealous of their huge...)
There, changed into AARs (thank you). But Ricree's right, I ignored Mars because it's kinda weak at first. It was worth it, 'cause I managed to grab 3 decent planets nearby, and the Iconians were left with Mars and another PQ6. At it was the Akilian, a Minor Specie, who signed the peace treaty with the Dread Lords. Maybe Minor civs aren't subjected to the same restrictions are the major? And I would like to see the Dread Lords begin to really invade the Arceans. For now, they j
It's the beggining of a new Dawn for the Galaxy. We, humans, have decided to share our new discovery of the hyperdrive to all, only to see that everybody wants now to abuse it, in order to dominate it's neighboors... We send a few billion peoples away in colony ships, and take some planets here and there, within range of Earth. However, a benevolent race named the Iconians colonized Mars before we had the time to take it. It's simply a big rock, so no great loss... However, that big roc
Too sad it's finished... I would have submitted: Cikomyr, Torian Slave Scientist Cikomyr usually propose ideas of implimentation of high-technologies at the wrong time. For example: When you just researched Plasma 1, he proposes a ship equipped with the powerful Phasor II to be "eventually implimented". He doesn't care that his ideas are years before being put into work, he just love to propose ideas.
If we want to add some realism to the game, we could add that a ship looses some attack/defence/speed when he is a 50% of hit points, and he is a sitting duck if he reaches 25% of his hit points. In a battle, when a ships reaches 25%, the other ships doesn't consider it a treath anymore, and will change target. If the winning side has crippled ships left on his side, he could either: - Leave the crippled ships in the middle of space until tractor ships (see below) arrives (or a
