Reply to Why always the best? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

So let's say here on Earth you wanted to build a research center. But you decide that you don't have enough money to do it quick enough, so instead of giving your scientists high-tech computers and lab equipment, you put them in a log cabin with abacuses (abacii?) and papyrus. It just doesn't work. Part of the reason that new technology is available is that you have turned your back on the old technology. I agree it's a hardship, but I think it makes sense the way it is. You shouldn't be able to

I think the problem lies in your +300% farm. Food doesn't make people happy, it just creates more people who in turn create more unhappiness. At your tech level a population of anything over 20 B on any planet is going to become unruly. Later when you get upgraded entertainment centers, and you get the stock market economic building which provides a 10% boost to morale they might become more manageable. However it seems that no matter what you do populations gradually grow more and more unhappy.

Yes, I just played a game long enough to get these, and it was pretty much game over once I did. The AI seems to be put off by thier cost, affording me even more of an advantage. Has anyone seen the AI use these? They are neat, but game breaking that early in the tech tree, and probably too small.

Reply to Stop AI Civs trading tech with each other... can we do this? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

There are not enough techs and each tech in the early game is too important to allow their free exchange. The lack of technical specialization that results in pooling the techs removes much of the 'personality' from the AI races. I'd rather see one race specialize in manufacturing, one in weapons, one in planetary improvements, etc to reach their goal, than see everybody with everything from beginning to end of game. I'd hate to see tech trading gone completely, but I would like to see the AI ta

Kinda defeats the purpose of having 3 weapon paths when every single race in the game has every tech available.

Reply to STICKY: Getting the game running! in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Game freezes for a while then crashes to desktop. Seems to be related to invading one particular terran planet. I've had it happen both mid-turn and after clicking the turn button.

Seeing as no one is posting here except people who are having trouble I thought I'd buck the trend and say I just bought the game and D/L'd it in its entirety (core game that is) in the time it took me to reheat and eat 2 slices of leftover pizza and pack and smoke a bowl. 300+KBS D/L rate the whole time. Now I'm going to start it up. Talk to you all in a month or so.
