Ascendancy Great Game. But Absolutely the Worst AI ever implemented in a Game. What a waste. If that game had developoers 1/10th as dedicated as the Stardockies, that would have been a classic. People that complain about the Galciv2 Ai should have played that game. Even after the agression patch it was unplayable after a few games. It did look nice though.
notice before they go to war they often design ships to counter yours - say that they were big on shields but you have missile weapons they build some ships with flack. I like that I like th
I just love that Stardock hosts this forum and allows all of us to beat them senseless with our feedback, criticisms, bitches, moans and complaints. I am truely amazed that they actually not only take time to listen to us, they obviously read these posts, but that they continue to steadily improve the product, AFTER the release! Cripes, they have put out a new version weekly, and a new improved beta almost daily during some weeks. The level of support is great and they
When the AI goes to war with me, I get a nice diplomatic message that gee, we are going to war with you Mr Human player. Then the AI does nothing before I get to move and shot first. It's since the computer play declares war, then doesn't shoot me until I after I move, I have a nice bit of warning and can preempt and kill his ships, if I have more movement. Too easy for me. I want the AI to Pearl Harbor my butt. Why can't the AI hold off on declaring war on me until
Just wanted to make sure you had seen the updated screenshots on this thread. https://forums.galciv2.com/?ForumID=274&AID=117321
Hiya Frogboy, as long as he has your attention. Some examples of the really stupid AI I have seen Maybe it is best if the AI always build at least two factories, and limits the amount of food and watches the amount of morale resources built. <
second the planet management screen issue that the previous next buttons should reflect the current sort. Also it would be great to have a execute all automove button and find next ship with moves remaining so you could then plan most of your long range moves (strategic moves) and then concentrate on those more important tactical moves after your automoves were completed. Also the shipbuilder icons are great for adding and removeing components, but since they don't give y
If you don't have photoshop or another graphics program, you can use Windows paint for screen shots. Press The "print screen" button on your keyboard which copies your screen into your windows clipboard memory. On windows XP, you can go to the start menu - programs - accessories - paint. Open a new file in paint and paste the contents into the new file. Save as a JPEG file.
Hey Frogboy, on the same subject above, Just started a new Large map with 9 players all on Genius AI. Steadily increasing the difficulty level. Just ended the colony rush and established diplomatic relations with all players. I noticed that evryone including me has only 6 or so planets, down from around 9. Thats 60 or so habitable planets down from 90 with the same settings. Is this random variation or did you guys change the starting mix. I may not have contact with
Which player, which version? Cripes I just wrote a long message and the sever ate it on the submit. Short answer, 1.10 game with caris memory upgrades installed on the fly. 9 AI all gifted, painful. The korx and iconian then yor and torian ai all seemed similar with way to many 4-6 embassy on most planets. Only Large map. It seemed that most ai got about 9-12 planets each, I started with 9 planets and was very vulnerable early but once my trade kic

I just don't understand while many of the planets I conquer from the AI have 4 or 6 embassy and or more improvements on them instead of factories. If the AI had built factories or research items on them it would have created a more substantial fleet invasion tech defense for my assaults. I have played mostly on large maps and I seem to see this when the AI has 8-15 planets. Even those planets safely in the middle of his empire have embassy improvements. This seems like a waste.
As I am moving my ships around I have gotten used to clicking the Find tab with the mouse to find the next ship with move points and then hitting the "C" key on the keyboard to center on it and then using the scroll middle button on my mouse to zoom in. I then right click to move the ship. Is there a mouse way to center the map on the ship? It would be nice if double clicking on the map, or center clicking or something would center on the current ship with movement point
p22 try in windowed mode, with the same resolution as your desktop. It will look the same with no ALT-TAB crashes.
Used first zip update for 6 hours. Vastly improved save times for me. 1 sec versus 5-7 seconds. Load times seem faster. It seems stable. 2.8 Pentium D (2xCPU) 2 MG Ram 2048 fixed paging file Thanks Carielf and Codecritter, this seems to be the right path to go.
I tried the Carielf memory test patch ( see the above link ), and it dramatically shortens the save and load times. It seems stable. You should try it.
Major upgrades of entire ship classes. Like when you upgrade all ships of a class to a more powerful weapon system.

Before I read the entire list of comments I wanted to add this. I have a new dual CPU Pentium D 820 2.8 Mhz x2 with 2 Meg ram. I noticed that the load and save times were dramatically significantly increased when I used the Terran Fleet Pack from the download library and I had a lot of transports and constructors with that extra jewrly running around in a large or better universe in the late game. 1.10 seems to have made this better, but I definately concur tha
when you click find, to go to the next ship or fleet with moves remaining, what happens?
Thanks for the info guys.
When a single ship or a fleet is stacked with a starbase, do they help defend the starbase? That is when a enemy ship attacks the starbase parsec does it attack the fleet or ship first or does it attack the starbase? Is it a viable strategy to have fleets defend starbases, especially in the early game when production is critical, or do I have to upgrade the starbases with atk/def modules that will rarely be used. I have never had a SB attacked, I have always intercepted
Vacation You deserve it. Thank you for your dedication to your customers and your craft.
Thanks all is well.
I was able to create my character *Kosty* ok I was able to create a character now, but after I I logged in and out, and tried to edit my main character was replaced by a new character and icon, i didn't create. I tried to reenter my character but it said my name "Kosty" was already taken. *sigh* I have now entered "Kosty-1" instead of "Kosty" which I perfer.
