Meglobob's tip of the day:- Will no longer be brought to u every day now. Due to me being very busy at the mo. It will continue, just at a slower pace, ie...when I have time, hopefully I will still get to 100, especially with Dark Avatar and a load of new tips for it. Also a word of warning, v. 1.4 of GC2 and Dark Avatar may make some

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No. 20 It's quality not quantity. On the higher levels, usually the AI's beat u in the colony rush. In a gigantic, abundant abundancies galaxy, u may get 60 worlds, the AI 80 - 100 for example. However the AI will colonise any piece of barely habitable rock, well u if yr clever should be more choose

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No. 19 Is it a scout? No its the latest death fighter... It is a good idea to buy AI's ships, then upgrade them to yr latest warship design, thus giving u an instant, quick military boost. The AI will often sell u scouts, escort and fighters very cheaply for money or tech or whatever, especi

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No. 18 Be a military dynamo. A excellent starting strategy is pick military production(mp) +50, industrialist party mp +20, then research planetary improvements +10mp, space weapons +10mp, space militarization +10 mp. This gives u +100% military production, which means u build ships 2x as fast. U ca

Wow, wow, lots and lots of new stuff. Looks like u r making every planet in the galaxy colonisable , as long as u have the right tech. How many planets r there in a gigantic galaxy, including all 0 PQ ones? Barracks eh...erm, new ground troops, interesting! Planets harder to invade?

We're adding techs but we're going to change the user interface to be much better. Oh, errr...calms down, says thanks and quietly moves on. Cheers Frogboy, new techs, yippee

Reply to Tech Tree Worry - Developers Please Clarify in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Got a bad feeling about this too. I hate it when my fav. game loses some part that I liked, u know like morale buildings, NLC's, space monsters, world destroying starbases, half the farming tech tree, diplomacy/trading options etc, etc... Basically I HATE GAME NERFING! While I am having a rant, anyone who says, "this is too powerful, this unbalance's the game, major exploit (when

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No. 17 Winning yr people's hearts and minds. So u enjoy taxing yr people to death do u? Approval 40% and going down! But the money, wow! How am I going to win that election? Easy do what every politician since the dawn of time has done. Bribe the voters the week before the election! Re

Empire wide boost? Huh, I never knew they had such a huge effect. I am here to inform. Good metaverse scores, considering u don't use starbases.

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No. 16 Protect yr resource starbases soldier! So u have built up that economic/military resource starbase, giving u 44% empire wide boost. Now u need to protect it. Avoid putting weapons/defenses on the starbase itself, they r a waste, a dreadnought will still blow the starbase away with ease. Inst

Great, the mega events and special abilities for individual races, thumbs up. Tech tree streamlining, erm..., when I hear the word streamline, that usually means losing stuff. I hope we r not going to lose techs. But still, sounds great, can't wait to playtest it.

Reply to Starbases in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

And what about trading starbases. Where can I see it's effect ?, there's no sign of starbase effects in the "Details" screen of the planet where the freighter left from. Under trade routes of course (economy screen), the BC income goes up.

Reply to Starbases in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

What am I missing/misunderstanding ? Resource starbases effect yr entire empire. So the influence of every planet u own gets 5% increase or whatever. It's very powerful, more so than the effect u were after. To check it, before constructor builds new module check yr influence % on stats & grapths (I think), then check after u built the module.

Meglobob's tip of the day:- No 15 Blitzkrieg or 'lightning war' This is very effective against the AI, because the AI trys to defend every planet in its empire. Essentially u hit very hard at weak points with concentrated force in the form of powerful fleets (with reinforcements) and fast troop transports. U target pri

Not wanting to waste so much time on boring, repettitive work to boost the score. Those games can be very enjoyable u know, its like putting everything u know, have learned playing GC2 for months into practice, like a masters event.
