Reply to Allies? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I seem to remember a post by "Frogboy" awhile back on alliances that pretty much stated that the AI gets to decide on how to support allies in war with other races. An ally at the outbreak of war will come to your aid if they are not allied with the race that declared war on you. If you declare war on an alien that the ally is not allied with, they get to choose if they want to come to help, generally I have noted that after you have "kicked the lions share of booty on the aliens fle

The Torians seem to do well in my games only when I am keeping them away from or providing ships, money and tecnical support to help in the flailing war (yes I mean flailing) with the Yor or the Drengin. Most of the time, this keeps them afloat long enough for me to get my kittens all playing nicely and spanking some booty right after they fall on the lizard like tails. Is there any wonder why that race of lizards in EE Doc Smiths books only produced 1 second stage lensman? Fast and

After playing neutral a few times now, and working toward Xeno Ethics much more fast, I believe I have noted that there are no more, morality issues... Anyone else noticing this? I have to ask why? To be perfectly honest I choose every beneficial thing that comes along up to the point where I have been choosing ethics neutral lately. If there are slaves, I take em, if there are ship bonuses, I snag em. Than I pay the 2500 or 10 large for the neutrality equalizers. Viola

Reply to Neutral alignment bonuses in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Although I agree neutral gets a nice bonus in planet tiles and the ability to research and use NLCs I have to ask myself why the hell doesn't it work on later planets. When you have the PQ ability bonus, any bonuses from being an evil empire, the neutrality all tiles available doesn't actually give all tiles available. I have had plenty of games where I can see easily that my planets should have 30 to 50 tiles, but even the 20s and sometimes teens don't add up. Instead I have less.<

As to the FTL part, there is no FTL in Civ games. Thats why you have to have all the power, food, housing etc. for the ship. And even with a constant thrust, it still takes time to get moving.

We have a pretty good artist at work, he spends his lunch updating a white board we have for play, usually with star wars genre drawings. My personal favorite is the depiction of me as "Kirk-2D2". I probably got this one named after me as I function as a part-time engineer and part-time program manager and a part-time lead installer.

As I understand this you are looking for an artists rendition of a Thundercat type being. I haven't watched that show in some time but I remember it and the mummy like demon who harassed them. Unfortuneately I am not an artist. I borrow images from others, usually with their permission, if it can be obtained for use in my ongoing Pryde story. There are many references though to the Kzinti, KilRathi and other kat-like races on google though also Yahoo, I am sure that if you contact the author

You do by contributing to the galciv universe from what I have been able to fathom. Most of the "Diplomat" or "Veteran" levels additionally have made themselves available from what I understand alot on SDC chat room giving help. Other qualifications seem to be ability to help understand what is going wrong in the coding area, especially if your a game developer. Numerous posts from the 2005 time frame address what it takes.

Actually, has anyone recieved ownership of multiple Xeno Logistical Race Tiles, the one that bumps up your logistics that each race can build. I distinctly remember thinking the one or two time I have "inherited" a world with it "WAHHHOOOO" as my logistics shot up quite a bit and frankly the game was pretty much over as no one could match the fire power I could pack into one fleet after that.

Winning on tough and slightly above (A Kats Guide) 1) Relationships - To win on tough and above, you need to have a good relationship with the folks who are stronger than you military wise, at least high enough like neutral or warm to avoid war. The lower their relationship to you, the easier it is for them to say the heck with your puny civilization or the easier for them to be bribed to do the same thing.
