Thank you Zydor and RapMastaZ. I'm glad people out there are willing tio share their knowledge. I didn't find anything useful in the manual about Trade Goods, but admittedly I didn't scour every last paragraph in it. Moving the launch point on a planet was mentioned earlier in this thread. Will you explain how to do this?
So say I trade Ultra Spices to the Torian for 500 bc. Do they receive the empire-wide bonus to morale in perpetuiy or for a limited time? If it's limited, how long do they get it? If it's in perpetuity do I get 500 bc a turn or just the initial 500 from the trade? I'm assuming also that I still retain the bonus myself after the trade since I still have the item - is that true?

Wow, my game is going great! My vast empire is massive, but i can control all starport production, planet rally points, and ship upgrades very nicely with the way this game was built. Also, this forum helps a lot too ;) I ran across another couple of things are puzzling. Why do I still have a Trade Good even after I traded it to someone else? And what do the brackets around my military and social production numbers in my colonies list mean?
You just saved me a ton of clicking, my friend. :)
I've played a few games now. I am addicted. The governors are very useful when the empire becomes huge. BIG QUESTION: In DL, can I upgrade all ships of one specific design at once? Like, can I upgrade all my Wasp 1's to Wasp 2's without clicking on each and every one of them? Please say yes and tell me how! In my current game I'm going with swarms of small and tiny. Thanks again, all :)
oops ... um, i just checked and I don't have gold, just DL. scanning the manual again i saw nothing about miners, so i assume that's in DA only. is DA the later version?
[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]Wow, thanks again. Shame about DL not letting me research techs to colonize the initially ucolonizable - that would have been cool. I have the Gold Edition of Galctic Civ II and I *think* it's supposed to include DA, but I don't see the option whe I launch the game. I'll just stick with DL for now. I also played DII a while back. OMG I can't even count the hours I spent doing Hell Meph runs, Cows, Baal runs etc so I could amass SOJs. Had a
[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]Great info, thank you Dax99, Ragnar1, and Loupdinour (rhymes with soup du jour??)! This is really going to change how I play. Shesh - I wonder how many other basic functions I don't know yet, and don't even know that I don't know yet! Lol! You guys are fast - this is a great board. I have another question. I've been reading up on colonizing un-colonizable worlds. I thought they would remain so, but I'm seeing that there are techs that wil
[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]Hiyas, I just got Galactic Civ II a few days and have a few starter questions. They’re so basic that I almost don’t want to ask: [quote]Don't forget to sent your colony ship back to your homeworld to maximise your number of colonist.[/quote] Q: How do you do that? My colony ships vanish after creating a colony. [quote]I particularly like the bit about shuttling population from one colony to another to maximize growth.[/quote
