In case you haven't noticed: --- + TWEAK: Made a slight change to the code that starts the AI threads which may help with the AI seeming to get a free turn at the start of a new game or when loading a save game but as I didn't have time to fully investigate the bug, this may only address part of the problem. --- Source: 1.6 Beta 5 Change Log https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=421&aid=153501#1221518

When it comes to game mechanics, graphics etc. there are much better titles on the market imho. Sadly, all of them suck big balls when it comes to AI behavior and cheating. HOMM V is a recent example for the perfect AI failure. My personal favorite is "Age of Wonders - Shadow Magic" from Triumph Studios. Beautiful game but even on the highest level (when the AI cheats like hell) it plays like a moron. So for me this "issue" is INDEED a big deal. And adding new features, maps and

Dear Developers and CEO, I acquired this game exclusively for the well documented, non-cheating AI (on intelligent level). This game was praised to the skies on the respective websites and magazines and now such amazingly lame excuses from the devs, very disappointing. I am a casual player with limited time so naturally I reload a lot. Pretty normal proceeding I guess. And in fact I prefer huge galaxies with abundant everything. So under this basic conditions the "feature" m

So if the AI has a prospering economy and plenty of cash it can fully build up an empty planet in practically no time (providing some saves and loads), is that correct ? I would call this a MAJOR bug since this "behavior" continues throughout the whole game and can give the AI a tremendous advantage, especially on high levels with bonus economy. And major bugs should be fixed asap. Just my $0.02

4 (!) social buildings already built. Correction, 5 buildings. I forgot to count the starport. So it is not "2 per turn" but seems to be unlimited or related to reloading/whatever...

OK it becomes even more weird. This is a shot from the beginning of turn 2, right after I pressed the "turn" button the first time. At the end of the first turn the Korx AI colonized the second planet in its home system. So far so good but now look at this: 4 (!) social buildings already built. I really hope that kind of behavior only happens if a players activates Ctrl-U (which is

Hi there, I am new to this game and encountered some very strange behaviour: I started a new game on tough difficulty (as Krynn) and since I am currently overwhelmed with all the possible starting strategies I decided to "learn" from the AI by uncovering the galaxy with Ctrl-U and used my spy to, well, spy on the capitals of the other races. What I found is that during the first turn
