Apart from the fact that noone would still keep on installing outdated modules if better ones are available, but even if there were some obscure reasons to must have all of them at large - you wouldn't begin with the weak ones... Wait, didn't you just warn about reverting to real-world logic? This is a model . Forcing a new build to start with older, weaker modules models a state of partial completion. Huge modules don&#39

The Eyes of the Universe got a slight reduction to its Sensor bonus (6 to 5), but has its AbilityFactor back in exchange (+20%). Which accomplishes exactly what? I'd still go for Eyes regardless of how cheap/effective sensor-modules are simply because an increase to base-sensors also applies to starbases and esp. planets. With the current outlet if you just have 10 starbases you'll need to invest 4

Quick reply as I've got to run right now. 'New' weapon animations: I love the new Doom Ray. I didn't note other new effects, which means that I at the very least didn't find them objectionable. Several improvements got additional bonuses assigned to them in the CU. I'm wondering whether we can remove any of them. Specifically: the econ-bonus of the Festival of

Sometimes that happened, but it didn't seem to be a significant problem, and I played Tolmekian's mod a lot. Re: Government Type vs. Alignment. I tagged all 12 text blocks. The program simply ignores the "Good" and "Evil" text blocks. If something is broken, it's not the labels. I'm with Maiden666 on this one. The Evil races are far too exploitative for a PQ bonus.</p

It depends on the context. Use "Human" when referring to the race, or as part of a name. Use "human" in casual references. If the text is that of non-human aliens, then "Human" may be appropriate since they would generally be using a race distinction. Not sure if increased PQ would be fitting for them because the desc states "Keep your planets green with an increased Planet Quality ability. Colonized planets will be nurtured and cared for

I've got a LOT of reading to do since y'all have been working so hard over the past month, but I want to post something that I don't think is dependent on your recent work. I agree with the observation above that the Evil civs have been seriously nerfed with the latest changes. But rather than back out those changes, perhaps there's another way to look at things. The Evil civs generally have a low Planet Quality ability. In my experience with Drengin/

Maybe DMF could help with this, according to his MV profile he's from the States. DMF what do you say? Gaunathor is strong on GC2 lore, and I could help with quantum mechanics + cosmology Huh? What? Am I being volunteered? Yes, I'm in Texas. Glad to help.

No. In the 2.20 version, most of the racial specific techs have been set as "No Trade". There are few juicy ones Weather Control but for the rest, you might stand a chance of stealing them, but don't hold your breath.

The only issue is that the techs are not showing the new tactics as something they unlock. AFAICT, that is the case with all Invasion Tactics. I did get Intimidation to work. Three problems in the entry: 1) Display Name has a period in it, 2) 'propaganda' is misspelled, 3) there is a space in the Tech Reqmt.

Icons for Invasion Tactics: Ah yes. Now I see them. All tactics have icons (except Intimidation which isn't working yet). Instead of trying to make it harder for the player to simply roll over them, why not make the player not want to kill the Minors in the first place? Good goal. I like to keep them around because they are stable trading partners. In the game I just played, Yo

There's an icon for these tactics? Where is it supposed to show up??? [Pardon me. I am interested in the particulars, but I'll read up on that last 12 pages of this discussion when I have a few fewer Margaritas in me.] Btw, I bought GCIII on the cheap (Steam sale) because the base game *should* run on Vista with DirectX 11. It downloads, installs, and tries to build, but goes out to Steam (WHY!?!) and never comes back.&nb

I was playing Drengin and did acquire Information Warfare, but I'm pretty sure I had to trade to get it. Marines is the go-to tactic for Drengin anyway. I tend to around for fun about once a year to see what everyone's doing, and I'm pretty sure I saw Terror Drones and Mech Warriors for the respective infidel races. (Some races really need the help in the rush phase. E.g. the Failure-to-Colonize bug is better, but is still with us.)</

Have you gotten the Intimidation invasion tactic to work? I have the Xeno Intimidation tech but it never shows up. Playing 2.20.

Here's another one: I trade for a Trade Good, then go to war with the owner of that Trade Good. Do I still get the benefit? It would seem so in the case of Gravity Accelerators, but I'm not so sure WRT Micro Repair Robots.

I'm bad. I club baby seals in my dreams. I'm so bad I make ebola look like Christmas dinner. [e digicons]}:)[/e] So why did I just get these saintly Arnorian ships dumped on me? They burn when I touch them...

I recall radio reports that Prince did in fact have prescriptions for what he took, but just took too much at once. The doctor has been suspended/ is under investigation, IIRC.

Others have done it. Try it.

What do you do, just turn down the overall Video Quality a notch?

How many $$ ?

I have to disagree with you, loudly. First, have you ever had to find a fix a memory leak? Thought not. A company could spend the profits from the next game paying for the effort, especially if the developers are unfamiliar with the code. Second, is it NOT a major bug. One sees it occasionally after playing a very dense games for a long time. And it is recoverable. The graphics bug is *not* new. It has been around as long as there has

I'd buy the whole package, but I'm on Vista (with DirectX 11). I'm fairly confident that GC III will work, but if it doesn't I don't want to be stuck with a package I can't use. Is GC III returnable? Or does anyone have experience using it in this configuration?

Sorry, I got no clue. It would be nice to know, though. FYI, I have it on good authority that Research Points are carried over.

Here's another one. I just finished a game and I don't understand the score. TotA 2.20. Immense, all-Abundant. Two majors: Terran player, Drengin AIP. Terran Conquest victory just two weeks short of 4 years: Terran Drengin Society 34,000 23,000 Tech 24,0

I don't recall what I was playing - probably DA with the AT mod - but I was surprised to find a number of PQ1 worlds, with several PQ2 and PQ3. Previously observed low was PQ4. Max, I just finished an all-Abundant game of TotA 2.20. By eyeball estimate, 20% of the star systems have no habitable world.
