Byram
Hey ST, You do some great POSTs .... Keep it up .... This forum is great for the game ... Lt Byram
Wow Marc, I had not seen that "frogboy" post .... But, while I did like like the MOO2 tac combat ... I am NOW - into the "rok - sis - paper" type combat Of GalCiv2 ... and I am still kicking AI butt .... I LOVE this game ....
Hey, Sorry Sorc. You added to this post too ... Are you a RPG fan ???? Gotta love NWN ... right ???
WATT version was your battle ... I still am at 1.1wattever ....
Because if the ship is just an orbit defender ... Well, who cares ??? But if I need attack fleet ships ... I AM the one to select : weapons, defense, range ... for EACH ship .... This is CRITICAL to effective FLEET organization .... Lt Byram
MASS upgrade can CO$T a LOTA CA$h ... Almost NEVER do THAT...
In this thread, Two admit to FEMALE ... That is : shirt145 (who started the OP) and also Sorceress ... I remember "WrymAngel" as well (from another post) ... So that makes three ... Let us intro ... I am Byram because every time a new game comes out .... I say " I need to BUY more RAM ... This equals = Byram What is the story of shirt145 ???????
All so .... I find that because of anomaly UPGRADES, this ship is usually some kind of "Super Frigate" ... which Mid-Game is a pretty good ship .... Later game ... It just orbits my home world ... Kinda like the - USS Constitution ... Lt Byram
I always use an net of Scouts/ Spy Ships, SO, I see an invasion fleet coming a mile away ... I then Intercept them ... I have noticed the AI uses the OFM pretty often ... IT NEVER helps ... I KICK THIER BUTTs ANWAY !!!!!! Lt Byram
Yes LPer ... As Tuff as it seems, you are CORRECT ... You really must UPGRADE ships ... ONE at a time .... It may seem dumb, BUT, I like the mico-mange thing in this case ... Just my view ... Lt Byram
FLAGSHIP PLAN During the eary game XPlore is Mission #1 ... Scouts and Flagship are suited for this task ... Once you get to Med Size hulls ... THEN UPGRADE the fagShip to a Friggate ... Lt Byram
Hey El Conq, How about the Frogboy post on the Home Page.... About the Forum update thing ... Could be an important issue ... Here to help as always. Lt Byram
Hey King, You are CORRECT, If you use the same plan to win that you used to beat level A (you won) and use that same plan on level B ... (next higher level) the AI will hand you your butt back ... I know from tuff Xperience ... This is what is so good about this game !!!! IMPROVE your game is the #1 RULE ... Good Luck, Lt Byram
Oh yeah, Then do all the same things again .... Have FUN !!!!!
This forum is NOT "state of the art" .... SO ... Try it like this: Create or Reply to a post, THEN: Check the forum link you posted, then check the Everything forum, and ... Then re-check each forum and re-check OP, then check the modding forum... (maybe it was mis-posted) then double check all forums again ... and ... BUMP the OP to get MAX attention .... and then go and check all the forums again ... Then just keep doing this OVER and
The AI appears to have a high priority to build planet "Defenders" and seems to lack the logic of "build a ship on planet A and send to defend planet B" ... Lt Byram
CAUTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Putting a farm on a FarmBouns tile is a sure way to make a lot of cranky citizens... But, If you are lucky enuff to also have a morale bonus tile on the same planet ...Build the EntertainCenter there, and it will balance the farm bonus. Maybe avoid any farm upgrades after this is a good idea...
Wow p22, That's a great one !!!! Yhat will feel sooo good playing as the evil Dreng .... Being evil just gets better n better.
Roger on this one... I ALWAYS send a couple of custumCONSTRUTz on .... long range missions ,,,, Lt Byram
Byram says: This is it for the GOOD, BAD and the UGLY. Be BAD/EVIL get good bonus+++++ Be UGLY?Neutered and get better bonus++++++ Be GOOD and ... NO BONUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being GOOD is tuffer than the easytobeEvil and the wishyWashywissyNeuts
Urushiol, This seems the most reasonable xplain. I have found that when war comes, the enemy AI "forgets" to move/protect these ships. So I am able to destroy them, I even tried just parking a fighter next to thier scout for an extra turn or two... but the ship just waited for death!!!\ Lt Byram
Well, If you dont like the black/white of evil/good... Choose the middle - Neutral path, you get some reward and keep your options open for your ethical alignment. Lt Byram
jellis2, Strange stuff here for sure ... The auto-move will occur on the NEXT turn... This gives you a chance to change the marching orders (a good thing IMHO) The "FIND" thing, well I find it useless... Lt Byram
The Minor Race Primer If you are Good - Trade with them, give them gifts, protect them. If you are Neutral - Ignore them, unless they bug you. If you are Evil - Wipe them out post haste. Lt Byram
