Ok, thanks for the suggestions!

Reply to Couple of newbie questions in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Thanks for the comments! I´ve finished this game now, with a Technological Victory. The Korx started falling behind when the Thalan declared war on them and started to annex them slowly. I took the chance to go against the Drengin (who had defeated the Torians finally, although they surrendered to me, yay!), and my former allies the Arceans. In the end, only the Thalan and myself remained, with them holding more planets and influence, but with me winning the tech race eventually

That´s some nice advice, thanks!

Great, thanks! [quote who="HighWater" reply="13" id="3366776"] And yes, uphill struggles are so much more glorious than games where you're in the lead from the get-go. [/quote] I hear you! This second game is getting much more fun that the first one! Might as well tell a bit of what has been going on... Shortly after what I told above I started falling behind badly, due to having few colonies, mainly (I could only colonize 3 planets, two class 5 and one class

Since I still have some noob questions, I might as well use the same thread. It´s just one question though. When I take, for instance, a Korath world as the Terrans, all the race-specific buildings disappear. If I had traded Slave Pits with them before the war, would I had been able to keep those buildings? Or race-specific buildings are completely off-limits for other races? Thanks in advance!

Adding to what DivineWrath mentioned, if you really don´t care about how your ships look, then don´t try to put every part where it belongs. Don´t rotate them to put engines in the rear, for instance... put them right next to the weapons in the front of the ship. That way you´ll save a lot of time.

Reply to Help! Where are my ships? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When you click on one of your planets you should see the planet´s details in the central area below the main galaxy view. There you can see the planet´s population, approval, influence points, etc. To the right of the planet´s details you should see a small window showing what ship the local starport is building (if any). There you can also see what ships are orbiting the planet, and there´s also a button for launching any of them (you have to select which one to launc

When you build a new ship, it starts orbiting the planet where you built it. You have to "launch" it from the planet in order to be able to move it and other stuff. By clicking a planet you should be able to see the ships orbiting it, and launch them accordingly.

Great, thanks to all of you for your replies! Regarding the values of defense and attack for the starbase I mentioned, I should have also mentioned that I´m using the APT mod in its "fix only" version. I think it doesn´t change any value for modules, but I may be mistaken. Regardless, I understand now that bigger fleets are needed, and even better if they have more than one weapon type. I´m actually now in my second game, again as the Terrans b

Thanks for your reply! One thing about the starbases bit, though. I may be mistaken, but I think that the first defense and attack modules give starbases 2 points in every defense and attack types. Isn´t it that way?

Couple of newbie questions in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Hi there! I´ve finally got into GalCiv II, started playing my first game last week. I started in Normal difficulty as the Terrans, and so far I´m doing pretty good, I think (read several threads here giving advice about the colony rush, planets improvements, etc, and also the wiki quite extensively, which helped a lot). Ok, so right now I´m in my first war, against the Drengin. I have ships which are considerably more advanced than theirs, so it´s going

Great, thanks! Been wanting to get into a sci-fi 4x game for quite a while. I played Sins of a Solar Empire, and I liked it, but couldn´t really get into it. I hope GCII delivers (it surely seems it will!)

Reply to Essential mods for fixing broken things in Modding Stardock Forums

Hi there! I´m new here too, having bought GCII Ultimate Edition a couple of days ago (didn´t even try it yet, I want to finish my current Europa Universalis III playthrough first, but that´s a different story, lol!). Great to see this game has such an active modding community! I don´t mean to hijack this thread, I came to look exactly for the same thing as the OP, that´s why I´m posting here. I´ll start with APT to get used to the game vanilla
