Going neutral and rushing to NLCs can be dangerous. They're expensive, and if you over do it, you can fall behind militarilly. On thing that is always good is to pick at decent planet (pq 16+) for your tec capitol and build as many research as it'll support. (you'll want 1-2 factories until you top out with discovery spheres or NLC) I tend to quick b
yea the Korx are wierd looking, I've always wondered where the hell thier mouth is. and IMO the Minor races could use some more unique racial images, the only ones with an unique image are the Dark Yor (which look more like skeletal robot things than War Robots. although the image used may well be a diplomatic unit) and the Snathi, the rest of them use variations of 3 racial pics. For the I-League, maybe have something like a random image of the existing races in the galaxy
yeh those Torian frogs (well they are amphibious and look a little like a frog. and nothing against you Frogboy ) breed fast and spread quickly, so they tend to end up bieng a powerful race.
yea, keep the forums! like so many said, having a games own forum gives a sense of community. yes there will always be ppl making negative comments, that's life since not everybody will be satisfied. the forum does have its quirks, but I like this forum and it has been improved. plus it sounds like you guys have a new forum setup on the way.
nah, I don't really want to have more micromanagement. Sometimes though if the scout ship that I'm using isn't particularily fast and has a long range, I pretend that the crew goes into cryogenic stasis. Either that or its a completely robotic ship. although cryogenic stasis sounds cooler having heroes like captains, fleet captains, or even admirals which are very experienced and add
I'm actually in the middle of what was a 8 civ game. The torans were talking trash so i attcked them, then the Iconains declared war on me in honor of their alliance with the torians. The great thing was, that when the iconains declared war on me, the rest of the civ's declared war on them and/or the torians. Full on interstellar war, it was great!
yes they do, especially against a common threat or between similarily aligned races. Doesn't usually start happening until mid or later game. also, what version are you using? maybe you need to update.
I've seen it too. for example with a minor race which I knew had built an economic capitol, but when I conquered it, it was filled with mostly research buildings, so I had to demolish them and rebuild it into a proper economy planet. another was a class 5 world and each square had a bonus (class 5 worlds often have this), and every square had a farm on it, pfft. so the AI still acts stupid as far as planetbuilding. and this is on normal difficulty the AI still ac
its not really a bug, its just the way it works, look at what you have selected, that race is not enabled and it only adjusts those that are enabled, but since its a random choice of races, they will all be set to the intelligence level according to the difficulty.
I'm not sure if I have noticed it. however on a related thing. one of the Yor hulls, the small one I believe that looks like it has vertical wings on the sides. on one side the hardpoints are a bit sunken in and its hard to see them, but they are there.
/bump for good measure
Looks like I reproduced it with a new game, this time its luckily one that I had saved from last night and its not that far behind. compare the last time I CTDed: https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=274&AID=121630#942669 now compare the last several lines of this debug err from my game: Debug Message: Random Event: Begin Debug Message: Random Event: End Debug Message: BuildShip: Cannot build ship type 6-Frigate M11-3 at Haber III - No open slots Debug
er, larger pic please.
I believe that minor races cannot be culturally flipped. While the riot chance does start at 4.0, it takes a while if its at that point, however if the influence (in my experience) is raised higher up to 6.0 or so, it'll happen pretty fast. There are other factors that make it easier or harder to flip a planet. A little more info could help, like the race whether its a minor or major race.
it happens to me too, after they have been eliminated or in some cases, assimilated, thier influence score still shows up in the UP section of the foriegn stats window. They don't appear in the actual UP event though if they are no longer a 'sovergn entity'.
LOL!
hmm, there is someone who is doing the Prydeans (a feline race) and has a few threads about them, I forget the persons name, but her threads are around here somewhere. you mean Suralle yea thats her.

well since the starbases are obviously MUCH MUCH bigger than ships. it might not be obvious in the main game screen, but in the battle screen you get an idea of the scale. So a module would have to require some powerful engines in order to propel the starbase as for a ship towing the starbase, again you have to take into account mass and inertia here. Cool sounding idea but dunno if its really feaseable for the game.
its always been too slow, its a little faster now since it used to take a half hour to an hour for it to reset the new stuff, now it takes maybe 15 or 20 minutes, still too slow by typical forum standards. and that server error thing has popped up from time to time but isn't as bad as it was earlier.
what browser are you using though? IE? Firefox? Firefox and a few others are known to have problems with these boards. I use IE myself and haven't noticed any significant slowdown like you are experiencing.
/rolls eyes just get your ass out of here. you're simply too annoying for your own good.
try clearing out the cookies and temp internet files. thats a common reason for forum slowdown.
and another thing Marc medications effect people in different ways. you may have had some over stimulus problems with Prozac but I don't as of yet. I also Take Strattera but I haven't been taking both lately. The one thing I would like to say is that if JJ can control it I haven't mastered control yet then. I need to focus and release for now. that is my compes
yea well I have ADHD and aspergers too, but you know what, I'm in complete control of it. Sure I get hyper or silly sometimes, but nothing wrong with that. and yes I've had an impulsivity problem but I've learned how to deal with that. I do take prozac, but thats mainly to help with anxiety, which I think is elevated serotonin or dunno, but yea meds have different effects on different ppl.
