Reply to Start of Game Strats??? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I also play on tough. My typical start is rush build a factory on the homeworld and 1 colony ship on the first turn.

Either play larger maps or if you enjoy the medium and smaller maps put more civs in than is recommen

I only experienced pauses in the space battles when a ship blew up...I turned the show ship explosion off and it runs smoothly now.

Reply to Yor are Overpowered! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, I personally don't feel the Yor are overpowered, in fact I destroy them time and again. If you really want an easy win go with the Arceans, conversly if you want a challenge have them as an opponent.
