Thanks, I just noticed that GC Strategies thing myself ;p
From LDiCesare: Do you build anything but colony ships? Except for one or two scouts? Do you max out production? Fill the farther systems first? Yes I just build Colony ships except a couple of scouts, I set spending at 60% Military, 10% Social, 30% Research.. No I don't fill the outter systems first, is this a good idea? Also, what is a good number of colonists to put on a colony ship.. I used to add loads, but now limit it to 250 Million so as to not depopulate the mother plane
As I understand it, when the AI is on Intelligent, it is level playing field time, the AI gets no bonuses or penalties beyond the player.. is that right?? How is the world does it develop so fast?? I am playing a Gigantic, Abundant, scattered game.. And I expand as fast as money and production will allow, investing mostly in ship building and research and colonizing like made, yet in every game (umm, well, five games now at this level) every other race is way bigger than mine at firs
While I would agree with you critisims (and look on it as an improvements list), on a personal level I find them only occasionally and slightly annoying, and the enjoyment gained from playing the game outweighs these issues greatly... I would love to see them all resolved (thus making the game even better)... I don't think the game is perfect but it is fun in my opinion... Are this issues really game killers for you?? (In an ideal world the makers of GalCiv and M
Don't know if anyone else sees this.. Did the upgrade to 1.03 by StarDock lastnight (game has been installed and unpdated continously by StarDock). Now it appears that a few of the ship images are missing.. They don't appear on the screen or in the planets orbit (though they can still be selected.. Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?
Nice perk... LOL Well that should help with targeting enemy systems...
All the little extras available in the Library area.. Anyone use them? And does it any anything to the experience??
I am in the same position as you akaste, wiating for the code patch to come out to have another go at the game... If this laong awaited patch has no real effect, then I shall definately never speak of it again...

Alf Melin said: Destroy their fleet and mass some ships around their homeworld, they'll then be willing to negotiate. That's a bit of an overreaction for a set on jumped up PDAs.. LOL
I just noticed in a game.. I have conquered a Torian world.. They were building Battleships on the planet before I conquered it. I do not have the technology to build battleships yet, but if I leave the military build selection were it is after the successful invasion I now have Battleships built on that planet.. When I select a different ship type I can no longer go back to Battleships as they are not on the build list (they never were).. I have a save game if anyone wants
I am in the UK and have just recieved my GalCiv diskd (thank you kindly StarDoc..:)) .. Now I just had to get myself down to the Post Office to pick up my package (the game.. :p ).. and pay the Customs Tax £9... Anyone else have to do that???
I don't think this is such a cheezy tactic... A better aproach would be to get the AI to do something similar... To send out low cost (or faster) ships to claim systems until more expensive (or slower) vessels can arrive... It would force all sides to make earlier choices about fighting...
LOL... i can't believe some actually fell for that....
If it helps anyone, I had the 'not seeing the update' issue too and tried the above tips with no effect. I Registered GC again (put my serial number in as per the first time) and that sorted it out...
Thanks for that... P.S. looking at my post above I think I should make it clear that 'very B5' is B5 as in Babylon Five not BS as in Bull S***...darn that font...:)
Playing last night I started building trade ships (freighters) on and sent masses of them of to the only only race yet encountered in my Gigantic Galaxy game.. Today I read the manual which says by default we can have 3 trade routes.. oops!! My question is what will happen when all those ships get to their destinations??
I am play a Gigantic Galaxy, with tight clusters and common habitable worlds (hopig for a high tech, high power game). Now in my particular cluster I have colonized all the 15 and above planets (including a sweet 26..). I have only meet one other major race yet and we have formed a 2 sided UP council. They have way more influence that us so I am trying to bump up the number of systems we colonized. By this stage we have a few planetary improvement techs so I figured on colo
I sorted out SDC final so CG is registered and available for download. But I have elected to perform the separate 465 MB zip file download as it seems to go faster. Now when this finishes downloading and I install it what do I have to do in SDC to let it know the game is present and ensure when I download the bonus pack it puts it in the right place? Also, how do I upgrade from the download to 1.01? Via SDC? Thanks in advance...
er...sorted out...
Thank you kindly... All dorted out, I am $54 dollars poorer and installing now..:)
Right, I am in the UK and want to get this game.. I have downloaded StarDock Control but now have no idea what to do... COuld so-one provide an idiots guide of what to do next??? Thanks..
