Been playing custom races since day 1. Not sure what your problem is though. I have 15 points to choose from. Make sure you use the reset button to get all your points back. My custom races far outfight the ai ones. I find it harder to use the Stock races then a custom. because with custom race I can fill the parts that I lack in game with bonuses. Of course it takes a few games to find the right style for your game.
This is why I shut off mega events. Its a broken option. Unless of course thats the kind of thing you like. There is a less offensive Pirate event that is not a mega one. But even those ships can be very scary, but not as much.
The Ai gets bored too. If you are in his way he will try to go through you, especially when he has a higher military ranking then you. Secret to a peacful game for the player is a High Military Rating and High Diplomacy rating. That means getting some of the Super Buildings in diplomacy. Then you will be bored cause nobody will pick on you.
It does project the dregin power alot though. When I went to war with them in current game I was like oh boy they have alot of ships. When My early fleets of 4 busted through over 50 of those little things I was like WTH? LOL. I lost alot of ships though, but it was early and I harldy had any defenses. But the Dregin lost everything.
Farther into the Game I made the Constitution class Cruiser. Only 3 could be built because they are so expensive right now. <img src="http://thumb14.webshots.net/t/59/459/9/71/69/2464971690100620674hpCrRw_th.jpg" alt="con
Nothing wrong with Eyes of Universe.
Only ones I keep are the Colony, Constructors, troop ships. All others I build different per game.
No multi play.
These are some Ships from current game. I took the Trek look this time around. Daedulus Class Corvettes.
Sure, its a game, not Germany WWII. Simple huh? what's your point? packman or stack challenge are both games too, and both have nothing to do with WWII germany. Thankfully galciv is a little more sofisticated than just being a 'game'. Since the OP used WWII as a basis to compare real life to a video game, which GCII is, if you like it or not. I simply answered h
Tiny is smaller then Small. At least thats what I always though. IE you can't put as much in Tiny as you do small.
No, think you have to play DA to get new features. Why would you go back to DL anyway?
Anybody care to explain? Sure, its a game, not Germany WWII. Simple huh?
DA has some very nice Jewelry in it. I noticed sever saucer and Klingon, Romulan type pieced scattered around. Very nice indeed.
Darky, to remove spies you need to have a spy. One spy will Kill another spy. You do this from the espionage Menu (it's in same area where you check your taxes sliders). So if you have 4 spies and the enemy attacks with 8 you can only kill 4 of them. (same rule for the enemy AI). And you have to wait until you build 4 more to kill the other 4. To get agents you have to allocate spending to Espionage. Its under the Military, social, research sliders. You can only allocate 25
Oh the best thing to do with Late Game Minors if they are near you is to wait until they build up the planet a little, hopefully with a few Capital type buildings up. That way when you invade you have a really uber planet. Its hard to keep the AI off from them though.
I seem to remember that when I first played GCII DL that the minor races would have tons of ships protecting homeworld. Ever since the 2nd or 3rd patch they care more about building useless Starbases they can't use (IE influence) instead of defenses for the homeworld. It a lot of wasted credits and might be one of the reasons they are fodder now.
Also its best to use alot of spies to disable an enemy Buildings. (IE work 0n economy) because after 2 turns the AI will use all its Spies it has in reserve to kill yours, then if you place more the ai will only get 1 spy every 4 turns or so to kill just one of your spies. It takes 10-15 spies to bring a civ to its knees, as long as you can survive his first counter spy attack on you, you will hurt him bad.
Never mind, I guess I did change it when I changed emails. I just logged on to Stardock Central with new Email. Strange. My bad. (I don't rember updating it to tell you the truth)
Man I wish you guys would have everything the same, because Now I forgot my stardock Central Password, and my email has changed so I can't send it. Purchased Dark Avatar and now I can't download it, because I don't want to have two seperate accounts with all the other stuff I purchased. Errrr. Any help would be thankful. I also can't seem to change the email from this acount either because when I try to go into personal info it ask for my Stardock Central Info not my forum.
Um, I usually defend the Human Gene Pool. But some in this thread are making that difficult.
Any political one.
Not sure about this but I think that Map Sizes might Effect it a little. Also did you have any bonus to Race attributes?
This is one reason I wish we could build multiple levels of building over the course of the game. Forcing new planets to start from the best possible building is just oppressive. Especially when the worlds you capture are underdeveloped or are suffering massive loss of structures due to harsh conquests. This effected me in my current gam
Think luck does have to do with specials. Since Specials are another form Of Randomis. And luck is suppose to Give Bonus to player on Random Items. Course Could be wrong, won't be first time.
