Fantastic ideas. Nothing more needs to be said. Scrolling newsbar would add tremdous flavor.

I get that line too. Quite inscrutable. Any other ideas what it means?

Agree, entirely. Would add a whole new interesting strategic wrinkle and flesh out the diplomacy a bit more.

A Call to Arms: Strategy Guide! in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Love the game, as does everyone else. However, the manual is a little, err, weak. Especially in documenting the mechanics of the game (Economics, Military, lets go under the hood!) and a strategy section to get ppl momentum. Who wants to prepare one? You shall be worshipped for all eternity (or at least as long as ppl are still play gc2)

Sorry to post so many times..I can't figure these forums out!! I post messages and then they seem to disappear. I wish the site used the standard paradox style forums...much easier..

Potential problem with starbase bonuses.. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I upgraded a military starbase of mine with a Ship Assist: Beam Defense + 3. So I crank out some ships and send them into the area. Lo and behold they still have no defense (this was when I couldn't manage to put any shields on the actual ships themselves). I mouse over the shield display in the info window and it says 0 Ship Shields; 0 Starbase Assist. It was sitting right next to the starbase with the installed module! Am I missing something? I hope I am... great game otherwise <img

Bug: Starbase Ship Defense Not Working? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hope I'm wrong on this, but when I upgrade a star base with a ship assist (defense), it doesn't seem to add the bonus. Hover the mouse above my lovely defense 0 ship, and yes, it says there is 0 from assist. Anyone else seeing this? Great game otherwise...

Reply to Gamespot gives GalCiv2 a 9.0! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

9.0 may seem slight relative to big brother CIV IV with a 9.4 But as has been said before and is worth saying again: A 9.0 on Gamespot is a rarity, plain and simple. You should savor it.

Ages ago? I thought the game just came out in late march. Anyway,I'm running 1.01029 according to stardock central...

Tribute Bug in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Not sure if this is a known one or not, but I just gave the torians 100 credits for 3 turns. I see it in the economic panel under the expense heading, but it actually _subtracts_ it from expenses (i.e. it counts it as an inflow not an outflow). That ain't right.

Reply to Trying to figure out starting/social project bonuses. in Strategies Stardock Forums

Does one spend a lot of the time at 100% of spending? Haven't played enough to know whether or not that applies to my style, but if it did I can see its usefulness... at any rate, thanks for the response.

Reply to Trying to figure out starting/social project bonuses. in Strategies Stardock Forums

One more thing -- I don't understand why the improvements give you increases in your standard (i.e. non-bonus) categories. Take the manufacturing center for instance. Why have it boost your production 25%? You could do that yourself. What you really want, I presume is the 1/3 of that as bonus credits...something doesn't seem right.

Trying to figure out starting/social project bonuses. in Strategies Stardock Forums

ok, I choose technologists party which gives +20 research, right? Does this mean that I research things %20 faster, or that I get 20% more test tubes. If its just test tubes, then couldn't I just achieve the same effect by spending more? Same thing with manufacturing centers...Supposedly you get 1/3rd as free bonus -- but this seems piddly compared to the cost of the center! Its pretty hard to figure out what goes where, and I've read the FAQs.
