When a race declares war on me, I never relent, regardless how how much they beg for peace. Chances are, if they're going to declare war against me every time they think they have something over me, there's no point in maintaining any peace with them at all. And I especially loathe the Acreans. If they declare war on me, regardless of whether or not my empire can maintain an effective military machine, I will go toe-to-toe with them. I almost always win except when I'm being sloppy. <br

Always send an escort with your troop transports.

The range thing is a bit silly isn't it, I mean if you are talking physics and I fire a nano ripper, its going to go till its hits something. I mean I am not a rocket surgeon, but that is how physics in space works. I firmly believe that the "range limit" on the Nano Ripper pretty much covers all potential catastrophes that the slug

The main problems I have with starbases is that for the investment that you dump into them, they are too easily destroyed. I know, it was that way with Babylon 5, Deep Space Nine, and that gigantic, floating musroom-shaped space dock that orbits Earth (again in Star Trek.) While the bonuses starbases provide can be indispensible, I think that a lot of their functionality is still tuned to the original GalCiv game and needs to be undergo a

EASY solution: CARGO hull with 1 Lasr MKV, 2pc sensor, and the rest engines. with the 'eyes of universe' mod you max out 15pc sensor range, and with 20+ movement you can pop troop carriers easily. doubles as a great scout too Hey, that's kind of what I do. I generally have two ship categories:

Be careful when you're blitzing your research. If you ignore other areas of research, you may find yourself falling behind the other races overall and they will eventually out-produce and out-tech you. Remember, finding the right balance is crucial to out-performing the competition.

Only a bunch of idiots will bother reiterating what's already been said...

I was never a fleet kind of person. Depending on the political landscape I'll project power in one of two ways. I'll either go with the Only-Ship-In-The-Quadrant (TM) style (with a single ship on patrol) or I'll just harrass the enemy and whittle them down with a couple of small raiding groups consisting of three to four Small or Tiny hulls supported by Military Starbases to boost their stats. I rarely ever field a Big Kabuki Celestial War

Yes, and though it's a bit strange, Wormhole Anomalies also collapse as soon as you go through them.

Some of the complaints are starting to make this look like a WoW forum. Please provide constructive criticism.

I don't think it's an issue of no one caring about it enough to fix it. It's just that whenever there's a list of bugs to patch up, you definately have to prioritize which bugs seriously affect game play and which bugs are "mechanical" in nature but don't actually stop the game from working. Just have faith and some patience. Stardock has done everything they can to make sure that they're delivering solid product to its customers and they've been be

Hey, thanks for starting this thread, Darkmatter. In a community where most of the people have been very supportive of each other, it's very hard for most of us to ascertain whether or not a post is, as you say, full of "tard'. Thank you so very much for spoon-feeding us this magical "tardness". I don't know what we would do without people like you; keep on preaching the negativity, bro. Because the world clearly doesn't have enough of it.

Hey, good work on the Firefly! Excellent work. And with the new patch coming out you can slap the ol' Serenity logo on the hull; woot woot! Now you just gotta make the Alliance Gunship. lolz

Boy, it'd be cool if, after researching all of that high-fallutin technology, that you could have like...interplanetary transporters. *lolz* Wouldn't that be just a h00t?

Think of the Colony Rush as a long-term investment. The more you colonize, the more you spread out your people but eventually it pays off big time. Just remember to keep building farms and entertainment complexes. Another thing that can help you is if you tweak your race so that they reproduce faster in the race setup screen.

Actually, I've always wondered why you don't get all of the technology and assets of an empire after they've surrendered. You have a chance of getting their tech when you invade their worlds. You sieze their planets. Why not their starships and starbases and whatever remaining technology as well? Would this make you too powerful? Perhaps. But there should be some other tangible benefits beyond having more land to manage.

The military rating that the game reports is only intended to give you a rough estimate of an empire's total military capabilities. It does not, however, measure an empire's ability to project power effectively. For example, if the Altarians have a military rating of 608. If they have 80% of their fleet scattered throughout their empire AND still docked on their planets...their military rating means absolutely zip. All you would need to

I might be wrong about this but I could've sworn I saw the Re-Education Center as an option to build while I was playing as Good.

Have you build a Galactic Privateer improvement? It's supposed to keep your stuff safe from Pirates... Or at least your shipping lanes anyway. Every time I build one I never see pirates on my turf; they just plague everyone else.

Wie arbeitet Galciv2 jetzt? Hat das Problem korrigiert?

I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes I don't want to make planetfall and commit to a messy war. Sometimes I just want to bombard a world into oblivion and move on. Granted, that would make it a little easier to achieve a Conquest victory but if some enemy was doing that to your planets, it would increase the sense of urgency of the situation and pose a bigger challenge. Let's have Planet Killer technology!

Can you save and load a Metaverse game and still post upon the game's conclusion?

Mental note: never move to Georgia.

Mine still doesn't show up. lol

Just make sure that you spend some time researching social stuff and not weapons exclusively. What will wind up happening is that you'll have the upper hand for a while. But then the other races will surpass you socially, gaining significant ground in research and commerce. It'll only be a matter of time before their ships will be better than yours and you'll wind up in a world of pain.
