Reply to Trade Route Questions in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]3) Do the 'trade goods' that you can build make trade routes from those planets more profitable, or do they simply provide the stated bonuses to your civilization? [/quote] they just give you the additional bonuses. They don't make trade more proffitable. [quote]1) What factors influence how profitable a trade route is overall? I've read the manual on this subject, but I'm not sure it's accurate. The manual states that the greater the distance between the two planets tra

fleet modules strategy in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I just played a game as the arceans and decided to build a military strategy based on fleet modules. (difficulty crippling). I started by rersearching strait to basic logistic and weapons techs. (no defence no hull techs) I build (rush buy) a cargo hulls with a command center, a speed bonus center and senors strait after i researched the first level of logistics. You can then accelerate your colonny rush and use it to grab resources faster with a constructor. After that by putting the comma

had the same type of bug with the terrans when trying to trade unique arcean techs (war rooms and arcean unique speed techs) sent a smart exception and a save game file

Reply to Post your TA suggestions here in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

in the diplomacy window have two different colors for the techs to be exchanged: one for the ones your opponent can research one for those he can not. (and the same for the other race techs one colour for techs you can research one for those you can not) right now there are only three tech trees and it is already huge once all the tech trees will be implemented it will be tough to remember if a given race may or may not research impulse drive for example. and +1 for the mouse

it's in a fleet of one ship^^ i guess it's better that way if when the ship was alone it stopped having the bonus it could be a problem.

Reply to New use for Tiny ships (TA) in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

concerning warp bubbles i think its a "bug" that every race gets them. tey are supposed to be a unique terran tech i believe (anyway there's a terran tech called warp bubles that doen't give anything in the terran tech tree). They where probably introduced for us to test fleet modules. but anyway concerning arcean and warp bubles its true this tech is going to be a must trade for the arceans as it clearly compensates there lack of engines put one ultimate warp bubble plus a fleet comand

Reply to drengin tech tree weapons in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

ion beams (late drengin laser tech) are listed on the tech tree but can not be researched even after the prerequisites have been researched. also the last ion beem tech has no ship composant associated to it according to the description (but then again it can not be researched since you can't research ion beam 1)

Small bugs and glitches (Arcaean) in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

high first of all the new user interface and the new planetary improvements pictures are great (felt nearly bad upgrading my xeno labs to reeaserch centers because of the cool looking graphics ) just a couple of small bugs before i forget them: -there was an influence bug when i captured the drengi homeworld. Their homeworld is full of slave pits but the drengi homeworld is generating 500ip. When the drengi had their home

Reply to Passive A.I. in 1.7( Beta 4) ? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

just played a game with very slow tech and the computer seemed fine till the end. (kept building ships and fighting till the end) a wild guess might be that it has trouble with bigger hulls. anyway for those that want to have a real fight with the ai it seams to be working fine as long as hull size aren't too big (very slow tech).

Reply to Passive A.I. in 1.7( Beta 4) ? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

got exactly the same in beta 4 during my last game. I just sent a saved game to [email protected] [quote]Is this solely happening with beta 4 or did it also appear in previous ones?[/quote] I am nearly sur this only happens in beta 4. As far as i recall i never had anything remotly similar on beta 3.

Reply to Twilight of Arnor expansion - I paid ages ago, do I have access to anything yet? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

you get acces to the beta if you preorder the game. The beta starts the 25th (ten more days to wait )there's the schedule for the different tech trees for the beta on the home page (basically three new ones to test every week) btw: there is no date for the altarian resistance tech line. is it going to be realeased only in the final game without beta testing or has it just been forgotten?

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I'm in on that one And, did we mention...these techs are tradeable back and forth. But thanks to a new AI enhancement (a willingness to trade a particular tech variable) tech trading will become vastly more intelligent. hum mixed fealings on that one I just hope that races won't share their specific techs too much or stop tech trading all toge

Reply to Tell us what you'd like in Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar 1.6! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

My personal favorites would be the following: 1) Repair bays 2) make gem warfare unstealable (i completly stopped playing with the korath all the gaes ended up being bacteriological armagedons) 3) have less anomalies at the begining of the game but have them respawn with time 4) Make a new influence building after cultural exchange center and downgrade a bit influence starbases so that influence victory be less dependant on starbases. 5) make the ai

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar 1.5X notes in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Sounds great! Torians no longer will build oribital fleet managers no matter what. They're living on the edge now Can't wait to try out the new ai and see how defence/attack balances out.

Reply to Defence too powerful!! (perhaps) in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

That's really funny. Low tech defences are next to useless, high tech defences make ships, that can afford them, "uber" powerfull. That's basically what i noticed as well. and the new system makes protecting yourself against more than one weapon type and spreading out deffence types suicidal. You can no longer effectivly protect your ships against two weapon types. All in all the news ystem seems better for balancing big ships against small shi

Reply to engines are too big in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I always thought engines should scale exponentially with hull size, so the larger the hull, the harder it was to make them go fast. Capital ships are supposed to be lumbering hulks...give you a reason to actually build small and tiny hulled ships. +1 I think it would be a good addition if engines scalled differently than the rest of the equi

Same here worked fine. btw is it new or have anomalies always had different graphics depending on their class? I just noticed, i usually play on the strategic map for exploration (warp holes look cool ) and the way the tech tree is disposed when techs branch out, like for diplomacy and logistics, is much more clear for those of us who don't know the tech tree by heart. great work at sta

Reply to Proposal for dealing with engine speed issues in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know, i think that in the current version of the game with the new engine sizes the problem is solved for warships. Engines are just too big for it to be worth putting more than one or two on war ships. In the current build you just loose too much firepower to compete with the slower defense ships. I believe though that there still remains an issue for transport ships for which the sacrifice in terms of space is not so important. Making 20+ speed transports is still
