beginner level is a joke. try a much harder level (tough+). but then it is still easier to do militarly conquest victory than other victories (atleast for me). so...to answer your question, Yes...somewhat.
Are you using the default colony ship? It is really not hard to out rush AI at Intelligent or below level. Design your own colony ship with max engine and no life support. So your colony ship will be much faster than AIs'. Thus, even if you send your ship late to a planet, you might still win the race. Without life support it still has a range o
10 years?! I never had a game passed 9 years... (normally 6-7 years on a gigantic map) do you mean 10 weeks(turns)? 10 turns feel kind of short... perhaps 26.
It's the level of bonus they get. It's in the manual. The AI gets something like 150% bonus at economy for suicidal, but at obscene everything get's multiplies (Brad said that "With a 200% multiplier, perhaps they have no real fog of war?", which means that everything gets multiplied at different levels <br
don't think it does, but it does while you are picking the upgrade, and I think you can cancle out of it if you find you don't want to do an upgrade. If I remember correctly GCI would at least move the map to the starbase along with the mini-map so that you could figure out which starbase was being talked about, though it may ha
well, I only notice this much... At "Masochistic" or lower, only ONE AI need to be at set AI level. so for "Masochistic" only one AI need to be at "Incredible." At "Suicidal," ALL AI need to be at set AI level. ALL AI in "Suicidal" need to be "Incredible." At "Obscene," I don't know... perhaps something in between Masochistic and Suicidal? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Hmm.gif" border=0 ALIGN
try Rename your starbase to your personal system. so when the upgrade dialog pops up you know which base it is for.
I applaud that changes are being made, but personally I think difficulty needs to be more than just to the 1.1 power. Masochistic (assuming that is 10) now multiplies by 10, and after taking it to the 1.1 power, that now multiplies the score by 12.6, whereas playing at "tough" is defined by 7, which would multiply the score by 8.5 (instead of the seven before). I think tha
to from a alliance you need the following: 1) "Alliance" Tech (only you need it, your target race don't) 2) "Close" relationship (close, not just friendly) 3) Propose and accepted by your target race

SPIN control center. well.. there is a reason why I am not a spelling bee champion... millitary rating is based on attack, defense, and hit points of your warships. so can i just build loads of star fury's/defenders? </TD
"Favorite Race" What's the formula that determines it? At this time, it shows my Favorite Race as Drengin. Why? How? I only had one game as Drengin (almost a month ago), 6 year, Large galaxy, Painful level, and it was a Defeat (low score). 1) It can’t be based on the number of games played as a given race. I only played as Drengin once. 2) It can’t be based on time spend as a given race. I have on
military rating is based on warships, not troops' ability. So go build lots of warships or much better ones. use "span control center" to boost the rating.
The one thing I do not want to see, though, is the score weighted so heavily to quick games that the drive to end the game quickly becomes all important. Yes, I also prefer tha
AW Trespasser did it to prove a point; keep on clicking turns after turns (at endgame) should not affect score, but since the current system is broken... so now his 4 year old son is the best Metaverse GalCiv 2 player. Hopefully Stardock would finally notice the problem and fix it. If the current system is based on “the area under curve” (turns in x-axis, score of each turn in y-axis), then with additional turns, the area will continue to increase to infinite. I

well, my question is this; Why? Why cheat? What fun does it bring?
there several things you can do: max out population (if you could keep them happy). don't expand TOO quickly (it is costly to build up,each new planet. so... don't bite more than you can chew). don't build unnecessary buildings (not every planets need to have a starport, a farm, a bank, etc.) lower your social spending to avoid waste. (I play at 0% social spending mostly in my games) research tech "Trade" and start tra
yes. just like renaming a ship or a fleet. select it fisrt, then click the "rename" button (above the pic, next to the "detail information" button)
send constructor ships to the starbase that you want to upgrade.
what is the point of this post? 11 weeks? normal built time of a large size warship for me is 5 (some planets need 3, some 7-8).
well... instead of asking for tech, you could ask for money, planets, ships, starbase, etc. there are lots things to ask for, not just tech.
It has nothing to do with human understanding, it is to do with human perception. A human cannot visually see with the eye purple and green stars, so from a visual point of view there are no purple and green stars. This game is made for humans to play so should reflect the human point of view. yes.... huh... so... I propose removing red stars
I had. Game goes quite slower, because there's less money from slower growing pop, and NO money from tech trade. I'd say at the current AI's state it can't cope well with that option, as it gets quite some holes in their "knowledge base". From my current game I see Thalans don't have a single trade line, and it is turn 165. But t
