[quote]MAYBE the cylons are the borg? Maybe GalCiv2 should have Q as a mega event. [/quote] I [B]HATE[/B] Q I have a theory as to the operation of GalCiv2 Stargates, which I presented in my AAR 'The Endoran Coalition of Worlds.' My theory is that the Stargates are like hyperspace catapults/slingshots. They wrap the ship in an energy field than send it hurtling through hyperspace towards the recieving gate, which

hmmm, not gonna lie, was kinda hoping for a bit more responsiveness maybe I'll have to kill off my doctor, team leader, and some tertiary characters for dramatic effect in the hopes of boosting ratings <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_10 src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Laugh.gif" onload=ImageResizer.creat

Also, if there aren't any races with a deep grudge toward eachother (Drengin and Torian, Drath and Altarian, Yor and Iconians) you often end up with a galaxy of hippies, all loving and friendly.

Somehow I feel that I wrote this particular part extremely well... Part XII: Recovery One month later, Plaza of Chama's Grace, Paulos IV: "It is true, that myself, and the entire Coalition, are deeply angered, and even more deeply hurt, by the betrayel of the Paulosian governemnt. However, we do not blame the Paulosian people. We wish to correct the mistakes done by your government. As citizens of the Coalition you will be able to move about the over 100 worlds in

I third Jythier. I much prefer the Medium size and smaller, handling an empire of 100+ planets is a headache for me. I also don't think I could micromanage as you do. I, too, salute you for your skills and determination. And like Jythier, I prefer stealing planets with Influence, but I'm more than willing to go to war if its taking to long Good write up <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc

Speaking of modifying the way techs are researched, I'd love to have multiple tech requirements But to get back on topic, I like your idea. Pure research vessels would be very interesting indeed...

Do you mean Government Types, because I thought those were moddable? I'd like to be able to add new bonus tiles (a 300% and 700% for influence and economy for example). I'd also like to mess with the how the AI treats eachother, like how each race has a nemesis or two (Drengin-Torian hatred comes to mind). That would allow me to create a more realistic custom civ environment (not to mention a more realistic Stargate TC Mod <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/

Annihilation, Assimilation, who is to know? The problem with GalCiv2 is the unrealistic land battles. I doubt I'd have to slaughter an entire planet in-order to take it So when I write the AAR I can say that I took the planet with few casualties, or I commited genocide, depending on the moral standards of the society I'm playing, the society i'm facing, the history between the two, and

Yes, the Terrans are the only force in the sector that could possibly threaten the Coalition. But first the Coalition must implement 'The Plan,' they have for the Dominion.

Part XI: Desperate Measures call for Stern Punisment... Back on Paulos IV the battle continues... "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS DESTROYED!?! OUR ONLY HOPE OF SURVIVING THIS ATTACK WAS TO TRADE THAT TECHNOLOGY FOR TERRAN SUPPORT!" Admiral Urgo screamed hoarsely at the strangely calm Paulosian ambassador on the view screen. "I'm sorry sir, it seems someone bypassed the security field, placed a plasma charge, and then reactivated the field. The field contained the blast and th

I would like to retract my request for a crystalline species, mostly because I didn't give you any detail, and secondly because my desire for such a thing has dissipated. Instead I will give you a detailed description of two species I created on my own. Species 1 = A reptilian race called the Kanoan. They are green and scaley. The scales should resemble that of a snake, not a lizard or crocadile. Their eyebrow ridges are slightly pronounced, and they have black spines to tak

I also don't like how they wobble, it looks really stupid. The bigger ships I mean. Its really visible with some of the Large sized Terran hulls, the really long ones that are like the 'Horizon' from the movie Horizon.

Hi, theStormWeaver here, and I'd like to say that joining I-Mod was the best thing to happen to the Stargate TC Mod since we first developed a way to get around the Stargate conundrum. Stefan himself has been of great help, answering various questions myself and my teammates have had about modding GalCiv, and even creating a menu screen for our mod. You get your own Main Forum, and five subforums (News, Work Plan, Meeting Room, Private, and Breakthrough), and they even give you

First, I have no idea why you replied to this very much long dead AAR, second, your alittle off on your reply anyway. An H-Bomb is not a fusion reactor, your comment is pointless. Second, we cannot contain a Fusion Reaction because the fuels we use create a reaction whose energy output is atleast 30% high-energy particles. These particles errode the reactor casing in no time flat. Having to replace a reactor casing every five years is far from economical. What we need is Helium-3, w

I am hugely impressed. Your Drengin is by far the most intimidating alien i've ever seen in any sci-fi, except maybe Darth Vader, but he is human (mostly) so he doesn't count Its too bad you won't go to work for Stardock, and Michigan isn't cold! Northern Wisconsin is cold
