[quote who="LTjim" reply="3" id="3304120"] Remember that you can get only N+1 tech gains per turn, where N equals the number of colonized planets. This could be limiting if you research some line and then switch to another research line at the basic tech level. That is, if you, say, research five levels of civ type and then switch to Missiles, you could get only 1 more level gain that turn as you have planets. [/quote] Hmm, I was not familiar with

[quote who="Echelion" reply="605" id="3214100"]After reading Froboys post as a fan of Gal Civ I and II and their DA/TA expansions, I say if people want a multiplayer put your money where your mouth is and buy it as a expansion and not demand it to screw up GC 3 .And considering how few people supposedly come on the forums why for the love thats all holy should stardock/Kalypso/whoever monkey about with the game w

How exactly do I increase tourism? Side note, I had never persued a tech victory before. I just did and the tech victory description was HILARIOUS, all the clocks blinked 42......

@Zarnick How high of production should I be at? Once im up and going, im normally at or around 75-85 depending on the galactic economy. @ Publius of NV I already look toward the biggest and best first. However once other races start encroaching, I grab the other worlds within my borders, as I have found, when I don't im almost always in for a fight in short order. I also usually end up being Neutral, if that matters. I grab

Hi all, I have played GC2 (Ult Edition) for quite some time, fairly off and on, and there have been some thing I have never really gotten the hang of. 1 - money, and 2 - racial interactions. Money as a basic thing I get, btu in the first few hundred turns, I am always strapped for cash and/or having to keep my production at or below 60%,just to keep myself in the black (never more than 25bc per turn and normally around 10). And I am

Maybe im part of the, what is sounding rather small at the moment, multiplayer fan group. But, I like single and Multi. I think it as an expansion would be an awesome idea. Me and a budy of mine have done TBS's co-op since we were 16/17 whether it was hotseat or LAN or however it had to work. It added a different type of game play, building as a cooperative, and our builds were specifically to build with each other, and we had alot of fun doing that over the years, inf

I have the Ultimate edition, and I got the error form just clicking the icon, which do you think that would be in. Also, might take me a bit to get it, as I developed a HDD problem. Thanks, I will follow up.

I know what you mean Dutchvn38417, I though some of my ships looked pretty good, until i came here and started looking. I sat slack jawed looking at the Wing Commander ships, GRATS, those were incredible. One I would love to do as well, just though of actually is a Nebulon-B orB2 Frigate from Starwars......those were always fun to try and outfly in Tie Fighter. Migr8r, thanks for the info.

While my builds are not of this level, I have recently built a new PC, and I would like to move my games AND ship designs over to the new PC. Where are they stored in the install directory?

Hello, I am running Windows 7, and GC2 insta;ll;ed fine, but when I fire it up it gives me an error about needing drivers of version 178.16 (Nvidia Display) or higher, Window 7, even on early betas nver had below 180.xx, I am running 190.38 as it is one of the more stable drivers, and I know the card is MORE than adequate for the game, as I was running it on my XP machine previously, GeForce 8800 Ultra. I ahve not had a chance to play the game at length yet on my new build, bu

Weapon modifications. Either a per ship mod or a blanket tech upgrade. Range ECCM Hardened slugs (armor piercing, obviousloy to a level within reason) Weapons that are not just bigger than the last one, for example: Laser range 1km damage 2 refire rate 1 per second, Particale cannon range 1km damage 3 refire rate 1 per second, Plasma cannon range 400m damage 6 refire rate 1 per .75 per second, Gause Cannon range 2kmdamage 4 refire rate 1 per 2 s

What I miss is co-op with my friends. Either 2 vs however many the game cann throw at us, and we build our civilivations specifically to support each other. Or even team matches 2v2vAI, those kinds of things I always loved. Especially when games can have 8-16 players.

How do I use Spys for defense?

Hmm, will have to try some of this. My experience so far (VERY limitted I know) I tried putting spies on a planet, and they got killed almost immediatly. I never had a spy last more than 4-5 turns. Glad I stumbled across this, will look into Loupdinour's guide. Im finding I like the TBS forums/support/groups better than most other games.....much mroe adult sounding forums :)

Multiplayer! I used to hotseat MOO2 with an old friend of mine frequently, wish we could do that, or evenover some sort of LAN and internet play. Control of ships in combat. I was playing last night and I found myself talking to the screen..."Shoot him, no Him, NO HIM!!.......GAH" I won the battle but I know I could have won it with less losses of ships. Also, for the combat itself, I would love to have a level of realtime control, im thinking like the contro

wow guys, you have all been a big help! Kinda a bummer though, was hoping to be able to have some bad @$$ cinematic of a few ships defending their base form an attack, really is a shame they can't fight together. Also, I think I know why, even when I was parked on the base, enemies were able to kill the base from underneather me, I never used upgraded engines, my ships were tanks, very effective thus far, but slow. Question, is there a way to upgrade a shi

Thanks for the heads up, so there is no way to make a ship actively defend the bases then. :( I have had incidents where I dont have the speed/range to reach an enemy ship in my turn, but they can go by my ships and frag the base, quite annoying when im trying to learn the game. Is there anything I can do about that, or just get range and speed faster than they do. That brings me to another question, how big of a role does speed play in combat? <p

Hello all, first of, I wish I discovered this game long ago!! Having lots of fun atm, but still learning, and have some questions. I have kept alot of my research balanced, and my ships are crushing oponents even when we are outnumbered, but I take a Battle station and give it every upgrade I can get with up to Battlestationj lvl 3 and mine get crushed by 3 Medium chassis ships. This leads me to 2 questions: 1) What have I missed?

I can't wait! Sounds very VERY awesome, those were some of my favorites! Ahh to hear from my speakers again "Message from mission critial craft: we are under attack" Also, anyone have a link for anything official on a new Mechwarrior? Even more excited to hear "Enemy mech destroyed" or **shuddering** "bleepbleepbleep Critical hit:Arm, critical hit: Medium pulse laser, critical hit: heatsink.....Enemy Mech destroyed" If
