Reply to Galactic Civilization, endfase gameplay. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You know, your idea doesn't sound half bad. My only real problem with this game(and all other turn based strategy games I've played) is that I have effectively won the game, long before the game is over, and beating the last three or four empires is just clean up.

Reply to What, pray tell, am I supposed to do with this "Lucky Ranger"? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In my experience it really depends on when you get one. I remember one game where I was just rolling out my second generation of medium hulled ships, and in a fight against a superior foe, I ended up getting four or five lucky rangers in a very short space, and they gave me the breathing room I needed to come back and win the game. Ever since then I have had a soft spot for the lucky ranger.

Star Base Blues in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hello When I first started playing this game I lived and died by my star bases, but sometime during the transition from ch alleging to tough I didn't find them nearly as useful, and since I've been playing on painful I only use them to start wars(plop a military star base down in orbit of someone else's planet), or to aid in colonizing.

For awhile I had a Norse myth thing going on but then I switched to Scalpel (light fighter) Reaver (heavy fighter) Gauntlet (medium ship) Brimstone (large ship) Tyrant (massive ship) Beserker (transport) Harbinger (constructor) I give them a "MK I" to start with and change the suffix as needed. For example a "Gauntlet MK III V.AT" would be a third generation med attack craft equipped for Attack(A) on the Terran's(T), and a "Brimstone MK I V.D" would

Reply to Two Players? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This is my first post, so hello everyone. When I first bought this game I assumed it was multi-player(my bad for not reading close enough), anyway I hadn't planned on playing the (non-exsistant)multi-player aspect, until after I played my fisrt game. I for one think it would be a blast to play a co-operative game against the AI with a friend, but what will be, will be.
