Reply to attack of the pirates!!!!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

people think pirates have insane bonuses.... although i myself have not experienced them, (thank the luck gods that they ended up ravaging my enemies instead ) i have heard people say that they do have bonuses like extra miniturization and stuff. i also believe killing them off early helps a little bit...

build more troop modules on your ships! there is nothing wrong with proving you are the superior race! or just dead annoying before you're squished... AHEM! i generally get loads of transports before hand to throw with abandon at a planet. billions of troops dead? oh well. as it says with the precursor workshop: "so what? people are a RENEWABLE resource!" hehehe

Reply to When do you start on your military? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

yeah... if they call your bluff, your dead. but all they see is that bar, and if its high, they wont attack. they cannot check. (unless they send scouts everywhere ) i generally do that tactic, then research up the research enhancing techs ASAP (after one factory tech) to get ahead in the tech race. just go with the flo. if war is everywhere, i suggest preparing for a fight. s

well... generally people get around this in two ways: 1: buy the factory. 2: finish exploration phase, THEN upgrade the factories on all planets- although one has to weigh which is more beneficial, having advanced planets near the centre of your empire quickly, or staying behind a bit for planets to have a larger chance of developing quickly

Reply to Manufacturing ship in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

well, it could just pull into an asteroid base or summin. mind you, YOU dont upgrade it, just the company. and since the com[anys availible to everyone, i would presume they;re used throughout the galaxy i.e can upgrade anywhere. nice thought thou. maybe a limit would need to be put onit.

Reply to Several Combat Suggestions in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

1) true. 2) true. 3) FALSE. two strength 1 shields are stronger then one strength two shields. Why? because they;re independent systems. But, the game doesnt incorporate bits of ships going "kaboom" so its better already to just use the better shield (less space needed) 4) ... 5) varies with weapon. with agreeable. 6) heheh
