Having a fast fleet nearby is better than ships in orbit. The fast fleet can attack the enemy ships/fleets and thus get the attacker advantage and your planet does not need a Orbital Defense Manager. Ships in orbit do get an attack/defense bonus though.
I think the sandbox game is a lot more fun than the campaign. You want to put your best foot forward with the demo so the player can see just how good the game is but leave them wanting more. I would give them the entire game (minus the videos to keep the size down) but limit the number of turns to 100. That is enough to satisfy their curiousity but ensure they will want to upgrade to the full game.
The cost of a starbase is based on the number of starbases you've already built and how big the galaxy is. It is reduced by your logistics ability. What is the formula for calculating the cost?
Anyway, it would be nice if games allowed you to replaced their music with ones we prefer. Isn't the music in GalCiv2 just MP3 files? If you don't like them then just create a MOD with your choices.
The tinies have less hit points individually but they fire 3 times for each time the huge does. If you are firing on an enemy that has defenses each attack must first overcome those defenses before causing damage. So let's say that you have 3 tiny ships with attack 8 against effective defense 8 vs. 1
How about replacing the spending slider and 3 sliders to allocate the spending with: 1) 1 slider to set the research output 2) 1 slider to set the factory output 3) 1 slider to allocate the factory output between ship and planetary improvements Brad suggested diverting unused social production to ship building if not building planetary improvements but what about the reverse, diverting ununsed military production to social productio
PLEASE make it so in 1.1 Yes. Please make it so along with all unused factory production (because a planet is not producing buildings or ships) going back to the treasury. Brad suggested diverting social production to ship building if not building planetary improvements but what about the reverse, diverting military production to social produc
Brad had previously commented that he was considering getting rid of the overall spending slider and replacing it with a research and production slider in version 1.1. (Of course you would need to have an additional slider to subdivide the production between social and military) This would solve the problem that you are talking
The location of the freighter determines the current value of the route.
"Additional ship extras for more ship options" What do you mean by ship extras? "Starbase modules pruned/tweaked" Please, when upgrading starbases mining resources go +5, +7, +10, +13 ... instead of +2, +3, +5, +10 ... "Updated Scoring System" Would you please document how scores are calculated? Some nice new features!
#1 I agree. #2 Great idea! #3 I have already suggested the same. See #4 in my thread Link #4 I have not noticed this but then I only play at level "Tough" in which case the AI is at level "Intelligent".
So now we know they are using an unsigned 32 bit integer for storing the planet population with each unit being 1 million people (i.e., 2 ^ 32 = 4,294,967,296).
I also would rather that used social production not be charged. This was the original intent and is documented this way in the manual but the design was later changed. Check out these threads by Brad. Link Link
I'm not sure where you can tell who the minor is allied with though, I can't think offhand of anywhere it can be found. Yes you can. Select "Speak Too". Just below their image is a drop down menu, select the first one to see their relations with all everyone. I noticed in the Beta5 (and r
I wonder how many polygons are used to represent your ships. We have seen some people upload pictures of their movie quality ship models with probably a million polygons! How complex are your ship models?
Who is the narrator in the intro? Michelle Forbes? Link
SEIV's AI is atrocious! It would not redesign it's ships to counter my designs! It also was horrible at tactical combat so if the outcome was in doubt at all I would take control of my ships in tactical combat. This got very tedious!!! I like that GalCiv2 has not tactical comabat!
The quote below was taken from the end of this game history link Link "The future.. Galactic Civilizations II was released on February 21st. Stardock planned at least two expansion packs -- one for Fall 2006 called "Dark Avatar" and another yet untitled. After that, most of the Galactic Civilizations team would be on Society, Political Machine 2008, and an unnamed f
Which bonuses are you referring to? By design the defense bonus will only be applied to ships with at least defense 1 in 1 of the 3 types. In other words ships with no defenses will not benefit from the defense bonus.
According to Cari all rolls are min 0, the sim has been readjusted accordingly. 1...N would lead to deadlocks. Each ship has attack 1 (any type) and defense >= 1 (any type). Each attack would roll a 1 and each defense would roll >= 1, blocking the attack and resulting in no damage. Since battles c
Someone actually complained about the Moon rotating around the Earth the wrong way and made no mention that the Earth is a few parsecs Link (several light years!) from the Sun rather than 8 light minutes!!! LOL! It is impossible to show solar systems to scale on the same map that displays distant stars. I accept this a limit
There's a lot more music, a lot more cut scenes, video tutorials, the Metaverse is integrated into the game and allows people to mod the game to their heart's content without it affecting the Metaverse. So far I have played the first 4 campaign missions but have only seen the intro video and the cut s
Another possibility is his military spending is not zero but low and being sucked up by his other planets with greater manufacturing capacity or a focus on military spending. What happens if you set your focus on this planet to military spending? EDIT: After re-reading your post it seems like your problem is empire wide and not limited to a planet so disregard my post. I'm very tired it is 2:23 AM!
Wednesday night I won the 4th Dread Lords campaign on level Tough. In the end mission summary my military score was lower than the Drengin! I destroyed 75 enemy ships(including many Dread Lords frigates), lost only 1(a constructor), and lost 1 Billion troops invading the Drengin planet giving me a score of 502. They only destroyed 1 enemy ship, lost 24 ships, and lost 10 Billion troops due to my invasion of their planet giving them a score of 599! W
I've played multiple full games of GalCiv 2 now and I don't think I've even used the right mouse button, let alone the middle one. Am I missing something? Hell yes! I
