Reply to 8 AI colonies by turn 30!? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'd say I'm surprised the AI did so well on Normal (without bonuses), but I've noticed a clear improvement in AI at 1.3. Also, it's totally doable. You start with 2 colonies (home + colony ship), you have enough money to rush buy 3-4 colony ships and some improvements on your homeworld, and there's plenty of time in the next 20 turns to build a couple more. With a decent starting position and a bit of luck... Also don't forget some anomalies give "frozen friends" (extr

@number65260 - Thanks for the reply. That is possible but I don't think that can explain all that is going on here... I'll try to add screenshots of Faction, Economic and Military power timelines for easy reference. You'll see that a few factions start spiking randomly (increasing A LOT over quite a few turns), and then after they pass me all of a sudden my rating drops like a stone (there your explanation seems plausible since it seems to drop from one turn to the next, although

Military Power Ratings Gone Crazy... & Other Nitpicks in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Hello, I was playing an insane map on Godlike with a custom faction (Thalan-based) vs all other factions and minor civs. I added a link to the saved games (at different # of turns for the same game). Apologies, it was started in v1.1 I believe, takes a while to win by ascension on insane... I noticed that partway through the game, the military power ratings under Govern - Timeline were going nuts, which carried the faction power ratings along with. BTW, I think that faction power is c
