Reply to Starbases in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well one pointer is try and get the Economy Starbases to effect multiple planets if at all possible. You can tell by the light glow around the around ship i think it is 8 or 9 cube radius i forget exaclty but you will get it quick enough. Military Starbases seem good if you are going to be using lots of smaller ships as the bonous are a real help to them but by the time you have large or huge ships the bonous are not that impressive. Influence Starbases are good for extending y

I am just glad Canada has not acted in this way. (Yet anyways) Stupid Conserative Goverment will more than likely think of something to mess with our right to decide for ourself and for our kids.

Reply to Population makes no sense in this game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Canada as a country needs Immigration or it would slowly die out as our birth rate like many other western countries is below what we need to replace our loses. While immagrant families might have several childern the life style and cost of large familes makes it less and less common for more than 1 or 2 children to be born. Even as the immagrant child grow up and start to raise thier familes and specially at and after Fist Generation Canadians start having thier own childern.

Reply to Planetary Assaults in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

It would be a great new tatic for the game but it would be so badly abused unless they solved the 1 man Core Detonation tatic or any other with massive damage. But consider a planet with a 20 billion defending force being invaded with 1 man Core Detonation invasion then another then another then another then another till there is nothing left worth fighting over and all it cause you was $ and a 1/2 dozen men and troopships Compared to stardard invasion tactics of billions and b

Yeah think of it as your forces stopped them from using the Core Detonation etc etc and like e-stab said it stops cheesy 1 man invasion forces.

Reply to Help! How to avoid these Invasions in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Once you Launch a ship from a planet it will no longer auto defend. Orbital fleet manager allows the planet to use multiple ships (Up to Logistic Max) for defense. With out it you only use one ship at a time. So in short never launch all your ships or send some from other faster producing planets if in need of defense.

Reply to Research Bonuses in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have to say i started a new game Aug/15 just after my other post about only seeing 700% tile once on a enemy planet, My home planet had a 700% Manufacturing and i just caputered a 700% Research title that was on an enemy planet. Having only ever seen one before that i can recall this came as a bit of a shock but welcome suprise

Reply to Space Monsters (Would you like to see them back?) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I played GC1 a lot and Really Hated the Space Shark when they showed up in my space not so much when they showed up in the other guys space. I really do think we need a Random Threat in the space because right now everyone just builds up bases and fleets then attacks one another there is no random element. Not counting Pirates personally i have rarely ever seen them appear in the game and usally by the time they do they are under powered and no threat to me or much of anyone el

Reply to Bring back the Terror Stars! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I really miss the Terror stars this last game more then every. i was the last Evil race and was being beat on by 4 Races will my ally who was also ally with the other 4 just watched. I had Probly 10-12 fully built starbases and was just about to start pumping out new ships when they attacked me. Now if terror stars where still around i could have pumped out a couple last Construction Ships and made them and maybe got my enemies attention. But sadly they just sent w

Reply to larger maps in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I use to only play on Gigantic maps and would like to see atleast Map size bigger if possible and maybe all nine races including playing Custom Race that would be great. But on the other Hand i have not played for awhile till the new beta came out and since then I have played 5 games on Medium sized maps and have really enjoyed the change of pace each race with 2 maybe a lucky few with 3 worlds (9 races playing) Makes it a lot harder to get a Tech/Military edge early on. Sum up: Bigger

Reply to Showld I give up techs to ally? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

If i am worried about someone trading a Tech to an Enemies i usally do mass trading in one turn by that i mean in one turn i will see who needs what from my Tech list find one or two items then trade it to everyone even enemies. Ex: Advance Life Support is needed by 4 or 5 races not counting minors. Some are enemies but i will trade it to all so that i get the $ or Tech for it and then no longer worry about someone else trading it to my enemies after i trade/give it to them.

Reply to Showld I give up techs to ally? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I usally trade techs for money or other techs i need if they have any i don't like other weapon/armour branches you are not exploring. I never trader high end tech but i have no problem trading lesser techs to help out or drain the $ from friends and foes.

Reply to Galactic Guide Book usage in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I build it only because i try and build everything before anyone else but it is way WAY down the list. Infact i have never once gotten to use it in a game because all the anomalies are gone by the time i build it. Vote YES for reappearing/new anomalies mid later in the game it is suppose to be space after all and lots of things to explore.
