Reply to AI need Universal Translator? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Terrans also start without Stellar Cartography - does this make it imbalanced? The Terran aren't supposed to have Stellar Cartography. The issue is can alien races initiate trading BEFORE they have a Universal Translator, if they can, then they have the one up on a human player who needs t

Reply to finding anomalies in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think you've misunderstood there, I don't think auto-survey allows the survey ship to grab anomalies unless you have already found them. It does. Auto-Survey will find anomalies even if you haven't "found" them...

Reply to AI - Emperors new clothes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Unless there is a bug though, they are suppose to prepare for any ovious attacks at Intelligent or Higher Difficultiies. On normal they'll call you an idiot for doing stuff like that. (Although they do mention their general is too stupid to respond)

Reply to Alignment Scenarios: Being 'Good' gets the shaft? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In GC1 evil REALLY needed them, and they actually needed more powerful bonuses added to even get close to evening up.

In the long run, the individual penalties and bonuses for the events are pretty much

There would need to be a global version of the sliders still, along with a lock function for the individual planets to prevent the global set overriding the individual set.
