We all suffer in some way, shape or form from the OOM error. I keep 2GB free for DA. Reloading after serveral turns frees memory. Maybe you can reload and continue the fight.

MLB Juicing in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

The trickle of naming juiced MLB players has been judged illegal. Sad thing is, there is no one to defend. Memory leaks are not unique to GalCiv II.

Well indeed. The SCC with 10 heavily armed ships is enough to scare the bejesus out of the AI. A military starbase array (MSA) is not required for that purpose. For points, it is very useful. As for the math, the SCC is 10X and the MSA is additive, not multiplicative. What Kryo was saying is this https://forums.galciv2.com/174470// Mumble's reply #2 is the best example.

Reply to Why should I buy the expansions? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Moose, my man, nothing wrong with staying with DL. If the devs would have increased the AI speed capability in DA as opposed to nerf'n the player, it would be close to a perfect game. They didn't, probably couldn't. At the same time DA plays cleaner and even with the added planets takes about the same time to manage. I still hate the speed change but it's worth the money. Check it out.

The expansions have bugs, but are cleaner than DL. DL/DA/TA each play differntly. If you like the demo, you won't be disapponted. Pony for all three.

Reply to Winning against Suicidal AI? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

LTjim......Racial bonuses and starting techs are more important than Homeword bonuses. There are ways to chose your HW and secondary. A good HW must have bonus tiles, the type depending on your strategy. The most important bonuses are resources and ethical alignment. Judging from your posts, you will soon have a Suicidal victory.
