Several newbie questions:

from GalCiv2 Forums

1:  What do courage, creativity, and luck actually do?

(Looking for numbers here =P)

 

2:  Is there a good resource for determining the difference between the different race's techs trees?

 

3:  What does "ship quality" mean in regards to the stellar forge?

 

4:  What buildings interact with the "tile" bonuses on planets? (i.e. +300% research, +100% approval)  Is it only the +X buildings such as normal factories, or do +X% buildings like power plants receive them too?  (I'm assuming super projects/galactic achievements do not work with these, but correct me if I am wrong) 

 

5:  Whats a good online resource for looking up specific game stats and facts.?  Galciv.wikia.com has proven to be highly inaccurate, often misleading, and rarely relevant to TotA

1. Luck sets up your minimum roll in a battle. You attack with 8 lasers, and have 25% luck, then the roll is between 2-8. Thus, in a warfight, luck can be pretty important. Creativity adds a small amount of rp to your actual research. Sorry, no numbers.

2. Galactopedia. But you need to choose the TA installations-folder, otherwise it will display DL.

4. You got it right, the bonus-tiles only multiply a base-production. Wonders/Trade Goods/ Supers don't work on these, with one exception: The Political Capital works on both moral- or influence tiles.

5. None. Welcome to the club.

1. Except in TA, where Creativity gives you a small chance to instantly finish researching the current tech-but only so long as you're actively spending money on research.  Most Technology Victory techs are excluded from Creativity, as well.

2. You can't do a direct compare within Galactopedia, but you can open multiple windows of it and compare side by side.

3. Starship quality is an attack bonus.

The only thing I have to say is get creativity it makes a difference in speeding up your research. I also have to say about creativity is in other that ta games creativity has it's own techs.

the industrial bonuses are factories approval bonuses are entertainment  networks healing pools wellness falls temples and what not the research bonuses are research labs farming are farming what nots percentile bonuses doesn't work on these including factories and wonders.
