I usually trade everything but Weapons,defences,Planetary invasion,Diplomacy ,and Engines . Then i always trade for their techs I dont have or I get the credits or i get both from every other race . by denying them the weapons ,defenses ,soldier bonus ,Logistics ,and diplomacy , I dont have to worry about my ship builds being compromized ,the enemy having as high of soldiering bonus as me, or being diplomatically superior to me .or having huge fleets.keeping the trade balance in my favor assures

When I am playing A game of galactic civ 2 now that I patched to version 1.3b the ship icons seem to be bugged . when I am dealing with single ships I see their icons on the starport window but once I group those ships into A fleet the icon turns into A black square and I cant tell what is in the fleet unless i go into manage fleet screen . Anyone else encounter this or know how to fix this?

the whole point is it is a custom race , and i should be able to choose every aspect of my abilities not have some already chosen for me from the start . maybe i would rather have an espionage bonus or something else. i know soldiering is a bonus to have , but I should be the one to choose that when I play a custom race. not the developer already assigning some aspects to me.

I noticed that A custom race has a permanent +25 soldiering and some other ability bonuses that cant be changed in game . i was wondering if I went into raceconfig and changed those values if I could still play a metaverse game?or would this flag me as A cheater? If it would flag me as a cheater could the developers of the game please fix these bonuses so that they could be changed along with all the other pickable abilities for a custom race as i do not always want to have +25 soldiering on my

Playing on a gigantic metaverse game today , I was allied with everyone but the drengin whom were at ar with me and all my allies and loosing bad .then A event happens in terran teritory that makes all planets that are class 0 in like 3 sectors all turn into class 14 . well the AI did not seem to see the importance of this and I managed to colonize about 50 planets in just 10 turns or so . i went from 5th in population to having more population than all civs combined because the AI did not see

What a waste of mine and everyone else's time to post this nonesense . If you have no real input regarding galactic civ 2 other than to debate the ethical and moral actions of A fictional character why bother . go write yourself a blog

Yeah for metaverse games you can not do anything to change those values already assigned to custom race. I also was A bit dissapointed that they would assign some bonuses that I could not change for a supposed "CUSTOM " race because I play primarily metaverse games

In: program files /stardock/ totalgaming /galciv2 /data /english (or whatever your lang is) you will find the XML file RaceConfig open that and scroll through it till you find custom race. then change the values to suit your needs . Back Up Your RaceConfig XML first though !!!! Save it to a subfolder withtin name it back up race config or whatever you wish Enjoy

if you arent a developer and are not interested in fixing this then why bother adding a comment.

you people obviously dont do any researching on this matter. go and look at the top 10 players games. they all are real old games posted . version 1.1 and betas from 1.1 so before you go flaming me go and see for yourself. Fair is fair. The reality of the situation speaks for itself look at the scores and see if you can get a 100,000 point game in todays system. BTW I have played my share of gigantic games and can complete one in a few hours .So to call me a "looser" as Zydor put it

I guarentee that almost everyone in the top 10 has not posted A new score in A month or so. so stop catering to people who are not playing the game anyway and lets be fair to those of us who are still playing. there are tons of games competing for my game time and if i am not ever going to advance because of A few people who dont play anymore being treated like they are special then so be it ,i will go play a game that is fair

I realize when this game was released that the scoring system and the AI were much more generous to the player in terms of winning games and being scored according to how you won. Well for all of us who now play the newest version of the beta things are A bit more balanced. also you score games diffferently and it seems Fair to recalc all scores including the older ones. This may suck for the people in the top 10 . but if you are that good anyway it will not take but A few games to get back up t

Why does the Ai not seem to worry at all about A tech victory?Is Normal difficulty setting really an easy difficulty setting? If so what setting is the balanced setting for a player who knows what he is doing?Meaning what setting is the lowest setting that the Ai is not a dumbass and watches me win . I just played A gigantic map with 9 Civs .most were much tougher than me militarily ,yet I won by tech victory simply because they did not seem to care about me and my rampant researching mach

I have tried to join many empires and am unable to because the join empire button seems to not work for any empire what is going on? (:(

Can anyone from stardock look into why the Join Empire button is not functional, because I am unable to join any open empires

i have made my character the default and I also created a second character yet i can not seem to get my medals to show. what else am i not doing?

Hello I was attempting to join an empire and it seems that the button to "join Empire "was not working anyone tell me what i was doing wrong?

Ok i assume this has something to do with Influence ,But it seems that the AI is somehow making an offer to a oponent to surrender to them because i often get the message " Our worlds are in ruins ,The Terran Alliance(insert any civ here) has made the best offer and all our worlds belong to them now " What exactly do I need to accomplish to be the one that opponents surrender to regularly. Also I cannot seem to find a way to set Destabilization i only see a slider bar for espionage, or does that

It is not actually taking the planet which is a problem. It is being able to get to the invasion screen. I know all about soldiering and such. but none of that matters if the game will not allow me to move my ship onto the planet. I have had success with tiny,small,medium,large,and huge hulltypes when invading a major races planets,but some games I cant for the life of me move my new transports built from the largest hulltype onto a minor races planet,Yet I can move A normal transport onto it .S

Perhaps this only occurs on larger hulls or only occurs when invading minor races. I will mess around and see what I find. You are correct. the hull itself is not the problem. i was able to construct transports on Ytiny,small,medium,large,and huge hulls and invade a major race. but I was not able to Invade a minor race. yet I had no problems using a basic transport . so something must be going on with minor races and their planets

Same problem here. and I realized that the game will not let me use a transport module unless i place it on a cargo hold. If you use a large hull It assumes it is a combat vessle, Try to build a regular transport and I bet you will be able to invade the planet then. See my post about this in the bug reports. I was Infuriated when I realized my super fast and armored transports that carried 200

This really had me mad.I decided to upgrade my transport's to give them added troop space . shields and faster engines. I went with a Large Hull type ,Instead of a cargo hold. my ship had a 20 move per turn speed and defenses against the most common weapon type, in addition to carrying 2000 troops. Off i headed to the unfortunate planet I was going to invade and then i found out the hard way, The game will not let you invade a planet with A ship without a cargo Hull type . it must have assumed

As a matter of fact I do have a wireless keyboard and mouse so i will update my drivers for it.Yay after updating to the latest version of intelitype pro for my wireless comfort keyboard. I no longer see that Y problem. thanks everyone for their help in resolving this issue

Any attentive player should realize by now that the AI is flawed and easily exploitable. I do not trade with the Ai at all simply because it can not and will not make A good decision. On every game I have played The AI overlooks planetary invasion tactics ,and I research them heavily for the obvious reason. As long as I have A large advantage I can leave my military on my planets fairly weakened and not worry about being invaded . I never completely wipe out a civ ,I always leave them with on

I understand that sometimes in game, the computer will pace a minor race at a class 0 planet, and also a random event will cause a class 0 planet to become habitable and a vote to see what civ gets ownership. I was wondering if these values or other values in the code could be manipulated to allow a New tech at the top of the tech tree making a class 0 planet into a class 2 . the reason for a class 2 is to allow the initial colony and a starport. just for the purposes of extending my empires ra
