Hey everyone Been a while since I posted here and I just won my first ever game of Gal Civ 2 (a tech victory on Normal difficulty) by the skin of my teeth. I know that'll be nothing to some of you but Im delighted :D Anyway, one thing Ive noticed is that in every single game Ive had (with one or two exceptions), the Thalan and/or the Yor always dominate the map. Especially the Thalan with their influence. Is there any way to try and stop this happening every single game (aside from

Ive played this game for 277 hours now and Im still not sick of it. Especially now that the massive 1.2 patch is here which seriously improves every aspect of the game. Brilliant game.

This post will probably get no replies since no-one on Earth seems to have heard of the Seven Kingdoms series. But they were superb games. Seven Kingdoms, then there was the Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries standalone expansion. The came the sequel Seven Kingdoms 2: The Frythan Wars. These games are true classics to me and on the 26th of this month Seven Kingdoms: Conquest should (theoretically) be released. Is anyone else looking forward to this game? It will be different from t

Session 4: The Inevitable In a final stab at me, the victim, the Drengin surrendered to the Thalan and so my rightful planet now belonged to a friend. I say friend but they did threaten me for money which I bravely (under the circumstances) refused. So what could I possibly do now? There was no way I could ever build up a military to match that of the Krynn or Thalan. They also thought I was a pitiful civilization (accurate) and so alliances were out of the qu

Session 3: The Dawn of War I knew the time would come. My Torians lived in fear of it every day. The Drengin empire at last went to war with me and so began the first era of conflict for my peaceful civilization and all because the Drengi wanted to relive the good old days when we were their slaves. My scout and flagship were the first victims as they just so happened to be travelling around the planet Drengi itself. I had been producing Kruegers on all my planets

Session 2: What are you working on there? My overenthusiastic Torian engineers had continued building a colony ship on my home world without my knowledge. In other words, I forgot to tell them to stop constructing them. Looking around to see if I might put it to good use anywhere but that rubbish little class two planet, I found a class sixteen one. It was basically the mirror opposite of the class two being positioned as it was at the far reaches of the Drengin Empire

Session 1: Keeping up with the Joneses Im recording these as sessions because it means Im not bound by any schedule. I might play for an hour and decide so much has happened that it needs a writeup. I might miss a day (yeah right). Anyway, the game opens up and because I havent turned Blind Exploration on I can see straight away where my fellow space races are. My arch enemies, the Drengin, are right next door as are the Arcean Empire who despite their description

Hello all. Im fairly new to Galactic Civilizations 2 but I do love writing AARs for all kinds of games. Today I started work on an AAR for another forum which I visit and thought that I may as well post it here as well. Im sure the veterans amongst you can laugh at my misguided beliefs and strategies This is intended to be a lighthearted AAR although I am of course playing to win. This is also

Thanks for the replies everyone. Im playing on tought with "Advanced CPU algorythms" turned on. So does that kind of up the difficulty in some way because the AI will do things it doesnt normally? The reason Im playing on Tough is because I don't like the AI having either bonuses or penalties. I like to be on even ground.

Hi all. I bought this game a few weeks back and have been trying to get into it now and again but I just keep getting wiped out. I like to play as the Torians since I like peaceful races. Id like to have a totally war free game if possible but it seems that no matter what I do an AI opponent will come after me within a few turns even the so called "good" races. I want to focus on research and trade but I inevitably have to start researching the masses of weapons technology to de

Simply contact [email protected] and that can be arranged (provided you bought the game directly, not via TGN tokens). Excellent! Thanks a lot!

Hello all. I recently bought the Galactic Civilizations 2: Gold Edition from this site and downloaded it via Stardock. Unfortunately I accidently chose the option for the digital download instead of the physical game as well. Id really, really like to have a real copy of the game. Is there any way at all I can arrange to pay the required postage and have this sent to me?

Hi all. I read about Galactic Civilizations 2 on another forum I visit and decided to borrow it from a friend to try it out. Absolutely loving it so far but Ive just got a few questions. 1. Im planning to order my own copy of the game from this very site. I was planning to get the Gold Edition but I noticed that for some reason X-Fire doesn't support the Dark Avatar expansion which is kinda annoying. But basically Im wondering if Dark Avatar adds much to the game or whether I should jus
