Reply to tradegoods in Trade GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I am usually an heavy tech seller. Diplomatic translators are importants for the diplomatic bonus is gives you. it can make quite a difference in price of techs you get from the AI. So, I never sell it to any other race. But I sell the other trades goods in those cases: - I am about to invade an opponent. I sell him all my techs and trade goods (even diplomatic translators) to pick up his warships and starbases just the turn

Starting technology question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, There is a starting technology I can't see the benefit. It is the galactic cartography (or something named like that. Please bare with me I can't recall exactly the name and I am not at home to verify). I started games with custom races with and without it and I can't see what it does. I thought it would give me the skill to see the galaxy and not have to expore it. Can someone explain please what it is good for?<

Reply to Ally recipe in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I gave all of them alliance a long time ago. I usually play my games by selling most of all my techs to generate BCs to everyone. And yes, I have a lot of trade routes, I gave away a lot of techs and a lot of BCs and never it went up over friendly. In fact, I didnot even see the pointer on the bar move at all! I did that for at least 50 turns. I really do not know what's wrong. Thank you

Virtual Memory to low in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Reply to Get rid of the insanity in this game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I have to agree with the contructor thing. I built 3 influence starbases to get the control on a star system. I add to allocate about 10 constructors per starbases at about 1000BCs per constrcutors. It is about 30,000BCs to conquest over time 2 planets. I could have done the same thing with 2-3 attack ships and 3-4 transports ships... In a lot less time. Don't take me wrong, the game is nice, but beeing a Space empire IV Gold player, I think I already

Reply to What are military bases for? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, Like said before (and I'll add a little) 1 - They add bonus to your ships in its "shpere of influence" 2 - Some ships can't go far from your empire, you can "chain" bases from influence zones to influences zones to go deep into another player space. 3 - They seem to draw a little bit the enemy fleets to attack them instead of hitting your ships or planets. In 2 games, the enemy AI decided to hit my military starbases and it bought me some time. 4 - They

This is Annoying in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I am at about my 20th game and there is a pattern developping that, for me, really begins to ruin the game. Here is what happened to my last game: Game difficulty: The hardest Number of opponents: maximum (all the races) Galaxy size: Medium My race: Terran with max diplomacy, luck, moral and research bonuses. Technologists, never alligned to evil or good. Disabled influence victory I decided to play the nice guy up to the middle of the game: trading

Luck and Creativity in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I played a few games with points in those and a few without points in those. Can someone explain what they are good for? Really, I did not see much advantages and I think maybe the points are wasted. With or without luck, I got a few castastrophics events and I did not see more discoveries (with anomalies if it has any link, or research) that creativity gave me. Thank you

Reply to Scope of planet buildings in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Does that mena, for example, if I colonize Marsh, I am better to simply put Research centers and nothing else? Putting farms will only make that planet to have more population (raise a little bit more taxes) and it willnot do anything more.

Is there something special about giving techs? Do they say something special when you don't give them enough BCs or when it is enough (The text stays white)?

Tributes in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I just tried to make some races to like me more. I did the test with 3 races going from neutral to friendly. I gave them for 20 turns alternatively money and techs. I must have missed something because none of them liked me more. I was master in diplomacy, had trade routes all around the galaxy and the game was at the normal level (most AI at normal or sub-normal) Can someone explain me how to proceed? Thank you

Scope of planet buildings in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, 1- Do farms supply only the planet they are built on or the whole empire? 2- What about the factories, moral buildings and influence? Is the scope the planet or empire? For example, I put an influence building on a corner of my empire, does it project over the other corner or it has a phere of infuence too? 3- The research centers, as the factories, do they need a certain amount of population on the planet (or empire) to be operated or they just need BCs allocated

Sphere of influence in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, Is there a setting somewhere to make the starbase sphere of influence (more a circle) to show up clearer? The difference with the background is so little that I have a hard time to see it. I tried to adjust brightness and other settings (game and hardware monitor) and it did not cut it. Thank you
