When you send a freighter to another civs planet, try make sure its far from your planet..the bigger the distance from your planet were your freighter leavs from to the other civs planet the more money you make on that route..if you cant send it far then stick close to home..you may not make as much money but something is better than nothing. As for econ bases..they do two things.wen you build an econ base near your planet,add modules to it by building constructors..some modules increas

I never get super planets like the one above..highest i get is 21-26...but seriously the AI needs to fix up planets properly.. I conquerd an a Korx type 26 planet and they had 2 300% research bonus tiles and 2 300% Manufucturing bonus tiles...what had they built on them...3 embassy's and farm on the other..i mean come on!!!

I actually mentioned this idea of turning the game into a film last month or so..but it was struck down by most people and it was instead suggested for it to be a TV series or a book.Its understandable because the game itself borrows heavily from other sci-fi franchises like star trek and SG but who knows what will happen in the future.

Yeah..keep the jornal stories going

if enemy is concentrating on missle techs and using armour defense..you should use beam weapons with missle defenses i.e. pd combos...this is just an example..the idea is to counter your enemy's weapons with appropriate defenses,and to have weapons yourself that makes the enemy defenses pretty much useless.. i usually when i reaserarch the massive hull tech..i cram all three defenses,and all three weapon types with a couple of good engines for speed..for better results max out minitiri

Thats why i hardly ally with any one..and i build specialist ships with good engines and weapons to hunt and destroy enemy constructors the moment they cross into my sphere of influence...my turf mine alone.

Dose anyone have any suggestions on good sci fi books and authors with similiar story format as galciv,start trek etc??

I have removed all clocks and time telling devices from my lair when conquering the galaxy.

To add to that..how about other spacial anomolies like nebulas they can be useful for not only to harvest rare resources that are in them but also to stratgecaly hide your own warships and can be used in a tactical capacity.

Will the campaign story in Dark Avatar pick up from were it left off in Galciv 2?

If you can find a class 13-26 or above planet.Then put one entertainment building to boost morale,one starport and fill all but one tile with trade centres and upgrade them to stock markets,Leave one tile for economic capitol..i did this and i got a class 26 planet generating 668 credits per turn. If you dont have a high class planet i.e 13-26 class or above near you..select your highest class planet and follow the above procedure,then after researching xeno ethics select neutral..thi

Thanx guys..ive actually got my head round the math of my question..and to Angelon..your right games do educate..next time my lil bro wants a book..im buying him a vid game!lol

How much is a light year compared to a parsec...and which is greater in terms of distance..just curious..thanks

At the end of the campaign game the humans lock earth in a protective sheild and then retreat into the pocket universe...What happens next?...any theories?...and to the devs when will the story be told??

What dose the reseacrh resource do?maybe i'm missing something but i dont notice any difference to my research..anyone shed any light on this??thanx

Is it just me or have other people noticed that after just a few turns the altarians have expanded to all most half the map while myself and other races are left with a few planets?i always play on gigantic on tough and a above.

something along the lines of :my people being infected with a disease,that leavs boils on their body's..however the boils puss is regarded as a delicacy on some alien worlds and extracting it would harm the people. the options were Good-save my people(econonmy penalty) Neutral-only harvest a moderate amount(no penalty or bonus) Evil-get as much as you can (economy bonus) mmmmmm puss filled mayo on cheese burger....droooooooolllllll <img src="http://ima

I second that!!!

I was near completion of a very loong game..conqured the galaxy by destroying,the drengin,drath,yor,iconians and thalans..jus me and the arceans and altarians..then i decided to give away my 37 planet empire to the jessuins( the weed smoking aliens)....good times good stuff!!!

Had a random though while surrounding the drengin home world with 28 warships...should there be a gal civ movie or tv series?..the game has got it all, a good plot,charectors,bad guys,good guy's,mystery etc..may sound totaly loopy but just a thought..what you think??

when playing as the altarians,i got a random event message that the planet of wisp 3 has some sort of evil presence on it and that i should evacuate soon..whats that about?anyone experienced that?... oh and i have never ever come across pirates..i usually play on tough..how do i pick a fight with them??

Hi..just read the info on dark avatar..it sounds great.just a couple of questions: when will it be available in the UK?is it going to be available through retail or would i have to down load it from stardock or something?any info on this would be great..thanx

Skrew it..jus anihilate them

When will the expansion be available in the UK?? Would it be necassary to download from stardock central?is it ever going to be available in UK retail??

Just to build on what moosetek13 said, find a high quality planet 15 or higher,put one farm on it a couple of entertainment centres and use all but one tile for stock markets..the spare tile you left out should be for an economic capitol..i did this and one of my planets generates 538 credits on a class 26 planet..hope it helps
