Remember when you are upgrading the farther away you are the longer it takes and your hull goes down to 1 hit point.

Reply to Could a core design element of this game be broken? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had an idea where if the speed of the ship is greter or average speed of ships in a fleet that beam weapons would riecieve a simulated damage boost since a speed advantage would mean that faster ship would control distance,thus a beam weapon causes more damage the closer you are,and the reverse for stand off missiles ,the ship with greater speed could keep fartherr away to fire missiles,meaning a reduced beam damage or slightly greaterdamage with mis

You like 90% of the game and 10% not and it is a no go for you?Obviously the reviewers had a difference of opinion about the UI issues and the not transparent game mechanics as to how it effects the overall value of the game.For me,having an AI that is actually a challenge is a lot of the draw of the game.I know I have enjoyed games when it might have been 80/20 or 70/30 approval.and a lot of the game mechanics are spelled out in the manual.Honestly,you can't play the game knowing that social pr

Reply to AI is always the same? Aggressiveness slider. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Were these all on tiny maps?You have to consider that on a larger map you are probably less of a threat.Would be interesting if someone did a comparison of map size to aggression.If your playing on suicidal also you probably get to a position of seming weak faster since the aI gets an economic benefit which gives it faster growth out of the starting gate.

Remember that what I proposed would only effect unaligned races.Those with same alignment would be free to trade as much as they wanted.This would apply to minor races as well,which would cut down the overflow of trade and slow it down some.

In general you have colonizing phase. Purchase and build colony ships and send them out to find colonys.Might have to buy scout ships on larger map. Put survey ship on auto survey. Colonize planets. If you find a resource build or buy constructor to occupy it with a starbase. Building phase. Build factory,farm on each world.Later specialize palnets depending upon tile specials. Research Universal Translator to talk to other races. Watch your approval ratin

Restricting nonalign tech trades with tech trade points. in Trade GalCiv2 Forums

Tech trade points would only restrict trading techs with races that do not have your same alignment. Example: Each race would star out with 100 base tech trade points. The farther away from alignment the higher cost of each trade in tech trade points. If alignment difference =0,then cost per trade is 0.No restriction. If alignment difference is 1 then cost per trade is 30 tech points.(100/30=3 possible techs to trade with 10 left over. If alignment diffe

A way of getting speed into the combat stats. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Standoff Missile Tech. If you have faster speed than enemy ship,in real combat you would control the distance of your ship to the enemy if you had missiles with long range,you could utilize this to have an advantage.You could reflect this by giving a slight % damage increase to missiles or a lowering of ECM or antimissle effectiveness.Researching Standoff Missile Tech would unlock this increase.
