Reply to economy starbases confuse me in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

ok this is all sound advice. yet.... my original question was not answered in the slightest . as for going in red late game. perhaps we are not agreeing what "late game is" I usually try to end A game As quickly as possible. so I may build A large army of transports and position them to make one big sweep and take over like 25 planets on the same few turns. sure this ruins me economywise . thats probably due to me not going about it peicemeal and letting a group of conque

Reply to Why does a race surrender? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Really the only explanation I could come up with is A: (you stated you never had any spies targeting you, so this leads me to believe that the iconians may have been the target of all the yor spies .to the extent that the iconians were crippled . the only problem with this is, that spies are applied and nobody knows the the person who sent them .) B: the iconians simply overextended ,or even worse for them. someone else recently surrendered to them and the influx of new plane

economy starbases confuse me in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

ok so I see the AI putting its eco starbases along the path that the space mining route is on . I mean the dotted line going from asteroid to its destination. to get the economy bonus for this what module do i build? the one for social ,military,research production didnt sound like right one to put there. but the other choice gives bonuses to freight. does the game consider space mining Freight? if someone could please give me a breiv description on how to use economy starb

Reply to The Colony Rush is Finally Dead - True or False? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

It seems to me that on tough setting, The colony rush consists of about 5-8 planets max now. before you would need to scale back expenditures. the AI seems to still want to go and colonize any planet it sees ,yet I tend to do A bit more scouting . If I find A system with multiple habitable planets then I grab the one with highest quality.(leaving the rest to be colonized by opponents,in hopes that A:they set up trade with me B: (the most likely scenario)I culture flip the planets.<

Hopefully by the time my prison sentence is over in 15 years . the actual sinner shirts from ironclad will finally ship. till then i hold onto my soap on a rope with A death grip.

Reply to 1.04 Chicken AI in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Really the solution has been brought up already. the A.I always over extends. by that I mean it chooses battles far from A point of resupply of ships. hell when i am at war, you can bet reinforcements are inbound from every available factory. well before I even begin my assault. So make the A.I wait until it has A line of reinforcements before commencing A closely matched battle. Stop making its probes so obvious.Send that little scout ship as far thr

Reply to Linking my installed games back to stardock. in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

You do not need to reinstall apps if the registry is wiped. yes you may need to manually add them to the start menu again. but who cares if windows knows about the program otherwise. whats important is that they actually run. makes uninstall alot easier in my opinion. just delete the folder and viola you are done. no messy registry crap to worry about. I have a 250 gig hard drive with all games and not a one is even noticed by windows, yet they all run fine

Well that sucks man. I have sins,gal civ 2,da,toa,object desktop.all need reinstall even though they are already installed. all that work just so stardock recognizes my games again.

Actually it is very simple to never have bounty on your head. just keep 2 other peoples bounty positive. as long as their is 2 choices for the ai to bounty you will never get attacked.
