Reply to Starbase Suggestion: in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It would be nice if Brad actually wrote a response to this (maybe they are working on something right now). I rememeber him saying that SB were implemented with A LOT of thought beforehand. I also dont know if we are the majority here. Our chances of getting something implemented into the game (esp such a big issue as SB) are much higher if a lot more people support it. I am confident that Star Base diarrhea is a major problem in GalCiv and its a matter of time before everyone out ther

Reply to Why are ships damaged for no reason? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I dont know guys...I had a scout with 2 hp (thats the maximum I had for the whole game). One turn suddenly it fell to 1/2 (same happened to freighter). I think besides tech there is something else. It might be another race destabilising me or something. :notsure: :notsure: :notsure:

I TOTALLY agree with you, Yin. I have posted the isuue with SB before, but I dont think I got very far... :( . One question though: What about trading? One of the most vital ways to increase you trade income is through the construction of SB. And we all know that having a race depend on you because of heavy trade is something that has a lot of positive consequences. My idea was to limit SB to one per sector. But then there were issues like Terror Stars, multiple number of res p

Reply to Tactical Fleet Combat is Required! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think there is already a lot of combat startegy in GalCiv. For example: a) Fast, low HP ships (Corvettes) - I use em behind enemy lines to sabotage, destroy trade routes and run. b) Slow but high HP and huge attack value ships (Dreadnaughts) - use them as a core of the attacking force. Always in the middle and they take care of especially well defended positions. c) Meduim speed, high defence value ships (Battle Axe)-use them to either protect gained ground from counter attack

You will not beleive what has just happened in my game... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

LOL LOL LOL I am playing a game with Intelliegnt AI on huge map. 3 races are set to evil (Arceans, Drengin, Yor), and the rest of us are good. Well, in the middle of the game Arceans and Drengin declared war on me. I managed to sucessfully survive Drengin fleet rush and never had any problems with Arceans because they are simply too far away from me and have plenty of other races to fight with. So the war continued and after a couple of years I was on my way to totally def

"The problem I see with 10 SB in a given sector: that you don't need to reasearch modules anymore. Instead of pumping up one SB with 10 moduls, which would only work if you have a technological lead, simply build ten new SB's and you have the same (if not an even bigger) impact on the sector. Of course the cost for constructor ships is the same in both ways, but you don't need a technological lead in one of them. " Absolutely!!! Some people disagree with the idea of l

"It takes a lot of resources and time to fully upgrade one starbase let along several. I dont think it is much of a problem. " But the point is that you can boost your, say military, by an infinite amount simply by building more star bases. I agree it takes ages to fully upgrade one, but you dont have to do that to get huge benfits. ~SDC~

Reply to Suggestion about StarBases.... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have posted this before about AI being unable to build SB in strategic locations and upgrade them optimally. I might be totally wrong here but in 5-6 games i played on Intelligent level, AI never went beyond placing SB on resource locations, which is a bit of a disappointment. I think what needs to be done is: a) AI needs to be taught how to use star bases effectively; b) There should be a limit (or a maintenance cost) on building more than 1 SB in a sector. <br

Reply to killing yourself with maintenance costs. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I never build planetary improvements that cost money to maintain until early middle of the game... I also have a question about taxes: Is there some optimal level of tax rates that your population is used to? In the middle of the game I increased my taxes a bit and ended up with a bigger deficit compared to what it was with lower tax rate...I know that population might drop cos of high taxes but in my situation the effect was instentaneous...
