I have an intel integrated graphics card... turn stars off, ship textures, lighting, weapons effects and have the stategic zoom set so you can't see too many ships before turning to icons... I love the game, it could look like a jackson polluck for all I care.
I've got AV and another freebie anti-virus... had a lot of issues... I might try disconecting and closing all the firewalls and anti-virus to see if it speeds up a little and stops crashing.
There is a simple way to get around this... build thousands of tiny fighters with 1 laser and 1 engine... swamp the fools One question I'd like to know is are fleet attack values turned into a combined attack? if I have 40 defense on my ships and they have 100 ships with attack 2 will they be able to do any damage or will my single ship nibble its way through them? Also sure
I never thought of buying transports, that is quite a brilliant idea... I'd never even heard of forerunner mines till you mentioned them so I went looking and captured a couple of planets with them on which might slow them a little and boost some of my production. I just made a couple of aliances... but they arn't joining the war because I made them during... if I make peace then go back to war will they join in? Counting planets on the diplomacy screen they have 100... I have
OOh sorry, I meant to say that me and the Drengin went to war against the Alterians... (the Drengin are nice to me in this game for no apparent reason I'm nuetral... they can see the threat this +1% per turn is) I'm begining to use fast transports to pick up packets of troops... I've noticed that it is only effective to attack with about 4-5 billion troops as it is more efficient because when in an invasion battle you get anywhere near the 500 mark you'll lose the rest for no
I'm a relatively new player (im only playing on challanging) anyway, I'm doing ok as the Drath However the Alterians have just discovered an artifact which gives them +1% race abilities per turn, and have had the increadible fortune of discovering another artifact which gives a sizeable portion of their planets +10 in planet quality... (the planets in question are in a part of space I haven't uncovered but I think its the heart of their empire furthest from my border)
Thanx, I just realised having decried the metaverse I did it on a metaverse thread I'm not new to internet forums but I'm finding this one a little difficult to navigate.
I'm relatively new to the game, I've played the demo through... The game is getting posted to me tommorow and I can't wait for it, Till then I want to hear some of your empires stories? does anyone have any great stories of daring do? of epic battles against insurmountable odds? all this talk of scores means nothing to me... its all about narrative (being a post modern little peep that I am...) I think GC2 is a great little game for inventing epic stories... h
