are you sure, i set the Arceans to fool and everyone else to bright and yet the Arceans still seemed to be as clever as everyone else

your trade route thing, sure you're not evil and the whole "evil races only get one trade route" UP is in effect, check the civ manager to find out

i noticed this to, but i after 1.2, and setting the difficulty higher i've noticed it doesn't happen anymore, at all, the AI builds the right buildings on the bonus tiles

what difficulty were you playing on, perhaps its that your ships were to close to their planets (i hope they alter that action, i mean maybe after a set time, but not when you're just passing through)

you can change their colours you know, just go to the race appearance screen change it and... the important part... hit next to save it, then go back etc etc to your race and pick red or whatever

oh a little off topic, but in the civ manager screen, on relations, one of the key codes is 'team' i've never seen this occur with anyone, what does it mean/do?

to SJLunchbox, no offense, but i would HATE number 3, although number 2 and 4 are good ideas

i too was wondering about the destabalisation, does anyone know?

also, slightly off topic i know, but why are planets so worthless, i mean, 200 bc for my class 15 homeplanet??? (obviously i didn't sell it , just curious), back on topic: what is this bonus you speak of, and perhaps when a civ is about to 'die' they could drag someone else into the fued, or i like the pirate idea

there is such a mod for this, but you may want to look through the files first, the spelling, it's just.... terrible

yeah, damn Arceans, they won't be calling me a cheese eating surrender monkey again, just to be ironic i crushed them, and refused their peace treaties, thing is is it seems every game the Arceans are the most powerful of the AI, in almost every department.

Altarian: al-tear (same as op)-ee-an Korx: like corks but a harsher K Torian: Tore (rhymes with for) ee an Yor: your Arcean: ar-Kay-an Drath: (rhymes with Kath ((as in Katherine)) or bath (up north england that is, in the south/ east we say barth)) oh and i'm English by the way, although our pronunciation varies wildy depending on where your from.

hmm, i guess if you look in the savegame file (notepad) it might help, half of it is half nonsense half the time, ut you may stumble across it, use find, then search for a technology along the tech tree, oh, have you tried wiping them out, i mean if you have high espionage them just look for their tech planet and boom, and try to get others to wage war on them, the cost of war will drain their tech.

i think it would be possible, the computer opponents designs ships afterall

sorry, the forums edited out the rest of the parameter, but look in the race config and you'll see what i mean

just an idea, but try going into raceconfig.xml, there it has something like Earth Sol so try adding a few more, as in mars or Elipson i think it'll work

i think some more modules would be nice, like a cloaking one etc

personally i think it would be quite good if sometimes (as in extremely rarely) the Up votes on whether all the participants should go to war on a race if they become too threatining, or if they are extremelt evil. and i like the threat/bribe suggestion and espiecally being able to table motions yourself , i hope some sort of a UP addition is made, oh and excuse my spelling, it's late here.

i just downloaded the beta 1.2 and i read in the changes list that there are 2 new parties and the ability to use the Dread lords style ships, however i can't see nay of this, is there somthing i'm missing? thanks

nope, didn't work, what i really want is to mod some files so i can generally sell them higher, i mean a planet should be worth say 1000BC at least surely.

i'll try that thanks, but i'm wondering if there's a way to make them actually easily sellable, i mean, last night, to my ally i offered all my planets (13 in total, with cutting edge technology on them, and all but 4, above 6 Billion) and he offered me... 600bc! so i was hoping there would be an easier way to increase the base AI value, i've seen it the technology tree document that the AI has a value for the technologies, so surely there'd be one for planets?

by sell i mean trade with other civilisations, so is there a way to increase the base price, or a way around it?

can you actually blow up planets? if so what tech is it, i havent found a tech yet (but i keep re-starting) thanks

i've started a new game and am playing as a custom race (Saiyans) who conquer and then sell planets, but planets dont fetch any real money, only about 200 bc, so is there anyway to alter this to about 1000? thanks
