I really hope this path of adding more "options" does not continue. Options make the metaverse worse by splitting it up into too many categories.

arstal, the thing is its not a preference thing. Eventually overtime the military starbase will be exploited and that will be the only way to do battle. If simplicity is correct in his accessment of how starbases work based on hull size then it is grossly imbalanced.

I believe the mission makes clear that you are supposed to avoid the dread lords. Im at this mission too but haven't given it a seriou sattempt yet. after a certain period the dread lords will attack your planets, but I believe the technologies you have (or the ones close by) will be sufficient to ward off the dread lords that attack you.

The poster before me is right, individual sliders are a bad idea. Forced micromanagement was the main reason MOO III failed so miserably.

If y ou have your social slider set h

Idle hammers not converted to bc? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I admit I'm incredibly new to this, as I'm sure most of us are, but can someone explain why idle hammers are not converted to bc? Idle shields appear to be. However, if I have a plent which has no social projects the hammers on that planet do not appear in paranthesis and are still costing me 1bc per hammer. From the manual: Social Production, represented by hammers, is spent on projects. If you have no projects queued, the numbe
