And the AI cheats on anything above Tough. By cheat we mean they earn more, start with more, etc. They don't cheat in the sense of create things out of nowhere, get extra research for nothing etc. They still play by the rules, they just get slightly more benefits than you do. Oh, and at the highest level they can see the entire map.
You could always turn the technology victory off. Sure it doesn't help with the AI not stopping you, nor the AI trying to do it themself too much, but if it is a real bother it might be worth playing without it.
When you don't have a social project the number in the Military section shows the total of Military and also the carry over you are getting from Social . The Social section shows your raw production of social. It is, however, darkened to show that it is not being used in social. When you specialise in Military, your military total goes up as you would expect. The social number goes down to what social would be if you had a project (minus the bonuses), but since you don't it d
Also, the current system is very exploitable by the player. For instance, i offer a losing AI a peace treaty for a ton of techs, then simply declare war right away and finish him off (scoring a bunch of free techs). Sure you can exploit it this way, but the AI catch on and won't trust you as much the
Journal entry seems amazing even though your start settings (eg planets, map size) were pretty crappy imo. Maybe that is why you never lose a planet. You keep playing the game that "suits you best"
starfock Hehehe.... you said starfock
Please Programmers! Thats a little bunch of code. It's a whole lot more than you would think. But this topic has been discussed a million times, and I think there is a sticky on it. it "probably" will come later in an expansion of some sort.
I heard about it from poweruser.tv, but that isn't an option
Same question here, is it removed in the current available 1.01b3.014 version ? Or should there be a newer one ? Cause for me it's still auto-obsoleting my design after upgrade. Well obviously it isn't that one is it? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Tongue.gif" border=0
Did it still work even though you chose a non custom race? Did you spawn on a random planet? Well, First I tried it by playing as a non-custom versus non-drengin. I ended up on pluto and the opponent ended up on earth <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab
nope. minimum is 1024x768, unfortunately for your laptop
Bummer dude. If you are having trouble with serial codes then you might want to look at https://www.galciv2.com/paradox/ to see if it is relevant for you. And if that doesn't help, email support and get them to help you. It is kinda important to them that you get what you paid for. Make sure you are running the latest non-beta update when you can, see if that helps at all.
I think the problem is that some votes are more of a scale thing. And so an "average" of what people voted for would make sense. Which I think is obvious that the API for the UP doesn't allow for, as it sees all the options as discreet options. Not a game killer, and one I don't particuarily have an opinion on. But I can see how in some cases it would make sense. Personally I think you are lucky that you have more than 2 options. Not often i
What ever you do, DO NOT LOOK PAST THE BOX OF STARS! I put them there to keep your vision from seeing the things in the corner, if you do your game will CRASH! If you don't believe me, TRY IT. Well of course if you say that it's going to be the first thing I try. But sadly, the game didn't crash. All there was was a sun. Well, a sun
The only thing I have is Norton Running in the background. My bet is that this is your problem. Find a save that usually takes about 40 minutes, turn this off just this once and see the difference. I would suspect that you find it improves things a hell of a lot. If this does fix your prob
such as 2 races voting to heavily restrict starbase modules, 1 voting on no restrictions, and another for barely any with the decision going to heavy restricions. I don't see what is wrong with this... more people voted for heavy restrictions, and then it happened.
Stardock and the having to sign on business. Only once. And if you installed from the cd you don't. Except when you install a patch, then you need to sign on. But only once. Really, doesn't sound that bad.
You can do Hotseat by using the cheat mode. If you search the forum - I beleive it is in the Things You didn't Know Sticky thread by Frogboy on how to do this. Yes, but that method sucks. And there are a lot of things you can't do when doing it that way. There has been a lot of mention that
Nah you can't. Not with the game as is anyway.
These forums get hundreds of these "hey, do it this way instead of that way" threads. And they all end the same way. It's their game, they made it this way for a reason. even if they wanted to change it, it's too late now. Few people may agree, others won't. Personally I don't think there are enough minor races for this to work, you will lose a major part of the game if you change it that way.
What difficulty where you playing at? If it was the highest level, then they saw it because at the highest level the AI see all. Otherwise my guess would be espionage. They saw your income for the planet rise and decided you where now a threat.
Notice how the OP posted once and never responded again? He obviously made this post to annoy us, or he found out the problem was his own and has kept quiet. Or his computer blew up Actually, I am hoping for the third option.
Another thing. My bloody ship designs just dissappeared. Great. ALL OF THEM. Did you play as a different race? or a different ship style? If so, then its a different set of ship parts so of course your parts won't appear. As for the rest, I agree with what everyone else said. Beta. Beginner
It's a strategy to fight against players who msas research invasion and take planets quickly.
You need to start conquering other races. Take their planets and so on. But 0 planets you can't change. To do this you need to research planetary invasion, create a troop transport, and invade that way (after destroying any ships that are defending the planet with other ships). Alternatively you can overwhelm them with influence and hope that convert to your side or, you can stick with what you have and go for the diplo
