Same ship races

from GalCiv2 Forums

Okay, I've just started to notice that there are some very un-original races in my GC2. For example, the Arceans have the smae hulls as the Terrans and the Torians the same as the Iconians. Acutally, when I was checking this out by starting an iconin game and a torian one the ship " icon" for the iconian colony ship was green! This only seems to happen when I play the races. Is this normal and if not, is it a known bug?

Although there are 12 races in GC2 there are only 5-7 ship styles as you have pointed out there are 2 races sharing each ship style.This where making your own ship styles/templates helps diversify the game.As for the icon colours I dont know - sorry!

Thanks for clarifying that for me mate. I have no idea how to make styles or templates but since I'm going to do an Arcean AAR soon I think it would be nice to do one for them. Can you tell me how to do it?

when playing go into the shipyard tab at the bottom of the screen.you then have a choice of premade basic hulls or a blank cube from which you can add extras (jewellery) to make your hulls.these range from tiny,small,medium,large,massive when you have researched the techs for it (practice makes perfect) :grin:

As for a AAR its basically either what happened during one of your games or you could write a fictional story as some have done.One thing some people like to put screen shots in between paragraphs of text to eloborate on the story so if you do this I recommend using imageshack forum sized pics.to take a screenshot in game hold down crtl and press prt scr button once.
