Suggested Level Up Traits in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hi Everyone, I recently started playing Fallen Enchantress and had a question regarding suggested traits to select when leveling up and whether there are some traits I should not be taking because they are not as useful. Along those lines here are some questions regarding specific traits as well Path of the Governor - as useful as I think this would be, I generally keep my champions in the field fighting and leveling up. I am loathe to leave someone in a city and

Reply to Random Event - Precursor Device Makes Race Supremely Powerful in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for the suggestion about monitoring their progress via Espionage. I was building up to a High level of intel and here's where I can begin. If I see it's getting out of hand I'll have to start planning something or influence the nearby Drengin to go rought them up a bit. I think if it's a gradual increase in ability the Iconians are just too far behind in money, influence and size to be able to overcome their quadrant of the galaxy let alone the rest of

Random Event - Precursor Device Makes Race Supremely Powerful in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I was starting to play again after a few years away. I received a random event notice in my current game that the Iconians have found a precursor device that makes them become more powerful over time and eventually my race will have to sucumb to them unless we do something about it. I don't recall seeing this event before. What is the impact? Currently the Iconians are near the bottom in terms of power and economy in our galaxy. Will they be given increasing

Question on Certain Random Events in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hi guys, A question that's been bugging me on some games regarding the random events. Sometimes there's an event like "Analysts say people are just half as happy as they used to be, no real reason can be found, etc." or "Corruption is costing us nearly 1/3 in lost tax revenues but Trade revenues have increased." I get what the point of each of the events is - namely a morale issue that needs to be solved with more morale structures and an incentive to increase tra

Zero Tax - Who knew? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

This is basically a thank you post and acknowledgement that the knowledge by the players here is helpful as can be. I visited one of the economics thread after running into a situation where I just could not get my Altaran economy off the ground. I would eventually run into the red and my poulation dwindled to nothing no matter what I did. The thread stressed that population is the key to taxes and the economy. High population = more money. How do you get a high po

Reply to Update next week in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Can someone help a noob out and please let me know what Impulse is and where it can be accessed? I have always just used Stardock for all my updates and have only recently discovered the forums so I'm a little out of the loop. I've been looking forward to this patch since the Research bug cropped up on my games as well plus I'm sure there will be additional cool fixes and additions to the already great game.

[quote]As Willy said, the most important thing about the JK is that you don't have to take their planets to win a military victory. They're a minor civ. If they strike in the early middle game, it can actually be a blessing because you can take their planets easily and gets tons of other races' planets that way, then make peace for all of the JK's techs and some more planets. But, if you're just not willing to play after getting this event, simply reload from one of your earlier saves or autosav

Painfully Inappropriate Random Events in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

First off let me say that I've been a long time Gal Civ player and have really enjoyed every version of the game and appreciated the effort and the obvious care and attention given to it by the programmers and developers. I cut my teeth on games like these with Master of Orion 2 and consider this game a sort of spiritual successor and one that I've come to enjoy and spent too many hours just sitting in front of the screen feeling that "one more turn" itch. So with that in mind let m
