Is there anti-GalCiv2 bias on here? in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

I posted three questions about GC 2 and got 10 views and no responses.

Bug after save load? in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

For 2-3 turns after I load a save, influence and revenue are way down, often negative. The game has trouble "waking up."

How does the AI react to warp disruption fields and interdiction beams? in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

I've built several starbases along my border and added WDFs and ID's in addition to arming them to the teeth. Will the AI enter the fields of effect during war?

What is the point of AI "bragging?" in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

"We wanted you to know that we just discovered "X". Tremble at our scientific might" (or whatever they say). Wow. I discovered that...oh...about two years ago. But thanks for stopping by!

What is the Defense Mediation tech? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Can't find a definition anywhere.

Riddle me this... in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Why does my homeworld have 20 billion people, 4 healing pools and only 68% morale when several other of my planets have 16 billion, 1 healing pool and 100% morale? I also have 2 morale resources maxed out in mining.

Reply to What Fresh Hell Is This? (pirate fleets) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have left Mega Events turned off since I first got the game. Playing nicely, sizable empire...then BOOM Jagged Knife and I lose 1/2 of my colonies. What sadist programmed that??

Reply to Formula for credit generation? in Game Talk Stardock Forums

When it says sqrt(pop in billions) does that mean to calculate the square root of the population, i.e. 16B would be 4?

Formula for credit generation? in Game Talk Stardock Forums

Is there a specific formula that can determine how many BC a planet will generate? For example, how many BC a planet under Imperial gov with 8 billion people at 33% tax rate and no other bonuses will create? I'm having a problem because planetary maintenance costs are dragging my economy into the red and I can't figure out how to manage improvement costs so I stay in the black budget-wise.

You have to place multiple agents and hope they learn something before they are neutralized. That's my experience, anyway.

What is going on here?? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

When I took at detailed look at some Altarian ships, I thought I was looking at something out of Engrish.com! Descriptions of the weapons were like "Pretty sky showing now with added spice." What is the story here? Were the descriptions outsourced to Japan?

Reply to To all the New Players Concerning Mega Events in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had the recession event, but I was earning 300+bc / week, had $10000 bc in my treasury and my economy only went into a deficit for about five turns. I later got a "Korx discover Arnion (sp?) artifact. They will eventually become godlike." They were very weak (still are...even weaker...they are likely going to be swallowed up by the Terrans in a few years). Later I thought I could have left that alone, but I reloaded from autosave. Later I got the "Jagged Knife" event, whi

I tried it as the Ferengi, and got several bugs / oddities - - Invisible components - A rogue planet in my home system! Different name, no matching star nearby.

Reply to Does Spying anger the AI? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Espionage is untraceable. If you want a harder diplomatic game (and a less passive AI in general) try turning up the "aggression" in the personality tabs of the enemy AI's (assuming you have DA). It makes the game much more interesting. Is it possible to turn it up mid-game?

Does Spying anger the AI? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

If they catch too many of my spies, does that sour relations? What can I do to sour relations and make things more "interesting?"

Reply to Can someone explain this to me? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Given those numbers (the turn by turn oscillation), it probably is the 20K penalty that GW mentioned. You suffer a 20% drop in revenue if you have 20K or more in you treasury when you hit the turn button... Well, that sucks. I have about 24K now, so should I buy some ships?

Can someone explain this to me? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Why does income go up and down so much? One turn +422BC, next +133BC, next +489BC....

Adding structures??? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

How do I add a structure / "specialize" my ships by adding one of the hulls? I select one, but I can't click "OK" it's grayed out
