Reply to Retire if you lose the initial rece for colonies? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well, you could work on strengthening your influence ability and send out constructors to starsystem of other races that are not connected to the main empire, as they seem to be easier to flip, atleast in my mind. In your next game, perhaps attempt using ships without Colony Modules, so you can build several Hyper Drives, and a "Range Module" (Don't remember what they're called.) TIP

Secret Police Center & Re-education Center... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This is just knit-picking, but is it not possible to alter the names for these Super Projects? I know for an evil civilization or a dictatorship this would be a perfect fit, but as always being a Good Civilization and as soon as possible a Star Federation, I don't think building those Projects fits. I think the consequences are acceptable, but for a good civ, should'nt they have a different name, such as Public Information Center & Galactic Culture Hall, respectivly? TIP

Reply to Home Planet morale is low since patch 1.3 and 1.31 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I too have that problem, but in the beginning I don't bother with it, as most of my morale galaxy-wide is usually low. My problem is that the morale on Earth usually weakens further on in the game when you increased the max pop, by building farms. Should really the Capital planet stand so weak, morally wise? Problem is that since Earth has rather few tiles, about 13 - 14 at the most, right, it is rather difficult to begin building many morale spiking buildings. TIP

Reply to Continuing with a game, postponing victory? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I usually have the Tech Victory in the bag, but I postpone that until I am sure I can't get a Diplomatic or Influence Victory, as I have most Tech Vics from before, I usually try to win the latter two if possible. TIP

Reply to Changing Alliance Requirments in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

In my experience, it is possible to have an alliance in version 1.31 as well, I usually have 2, or 3. In the last game, I had even 4. But it seems rather random as how to get them. I am usually on friendly terms with all Good and Neutral Civs. I trade with all, 2 Trade Routes on each, except Thalans. I trade tech, as well as give tech to try an improve standing. Also give away ships, when Civs go to war with Evil Civs. But it is entirely random, atleast in my case as to how a

Reply to Patch 1.4 :) its coming in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

If you go directly from Gal Civ 2 DL to Gal Civ 2 DA without adding any of the updates and patches, won't they be fixed with the DA update? If you don't have Internet access, you won't be able to update the game, until DA arrives, but for those of us that does have access, we might want, if possible to get rid of some of the bugs and changes before that. IMO, chaning the game to make it more balanced is not a patch or a bug-fix, but welcome nonetheless, especially the stronger

Reply to Race skills in Dark Avatar in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I hope it is okay if I ask a stupid question? What constitutes Trade Techs? Obviously trade, but what else? Btw, as I always play human, I am always good (saintly). Is the Terrans as an AI Good or Neutral? TIP

Diplomatic Treaties... in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

As the Expansion has been postponed until Feb '07, I hope it is time to drop a few suggestions; (I hope that is okay.) 1. Free passage - At the moment, there is no restriction on passage through ones territory. Is'nt it possible to add a feature to allow for limitation on passage through ones territory? Or atleast having limitation on allowing military vessels passing through your territories, then allowing freighters, colony ship, constructors passing through...? As a diplomatic tre

Race Logo... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Reply to Request for Event removal from the game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I do have had leaders assasinated, but don't think a private army came onto the scene. (Although that did not seem to hamper the war effort of the others, I went from war with the Drath because of a misunderstanding or assasination to war with everyone but the Arceans who were allied with me, and is the reason why everyone else went to war with me when I honored the alliance treaty.) Only way I managed out of that mess was winning a Tech Victory, while all ships were decimated, as well as my e

Alliance Victory... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Is it not to easy to win an Alliance Victory? When you have 75% of the Influence of the Universe, you have to wait a number of turns before Victory is proclaimed. Should'nt it also be that way for an Alliance Victory? Having to prove that Alliances last before you win an Alliance Victory? TIP

Reply to Trade Routes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Personally, I send Freighters from Earth to all of the Capitals of the Good and Neutral Civilizations (Me being a Good Civ). I also send Freighters from Mars to all of the 2nd Planets in the Homeworlds of the Good and Neutral Civs. I have two Trade Routes left, which I use on either on 2 Arcean and Torian Planets or I send them to two Minor Civs. TIP

Reply to winning on the tough level in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

My problem, I guess, is that I play the Pacifist Political Faction, and in that sense I also hardly build any military ships before I have access to Medium Sized Ships. I usually win, as I ally myself with everyone but the Evil factions, who are usually either wiped out or surrender. (Me being good/saintly...) With the exception of retaking one of my own planets, I have never invaded another planet. (Campaign exemption...) TIP

Unless I am mistaken, the Arnor and the Dread Lords are not the same, are they? Aren't the DL from one of the 5 pre-life people at the beginning of the story who came from another dimension and went mad because he were able to feel time passing, unlike the other 4? If I had to choose to "ax" someone, it would be the Korx, I just don't like them, and I don't feel they have that much interest, storywise... I think the Arceans might get t
