Reply to Trade Value in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Skyjack is correct, one additional thing is to build starbases along trade routes (or vise versa) for an extra BONUS !!! I seem to always make better trade routes than the AI.

Reply to How do Green and Purple Stars form? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Did anyone else notice that if you are zoomed in close on a fighter... then you click on your home system on the mini map... A BLAZING SUN covers almost the entire display, blinding you just like the real sun. Gonna have to wear my welders goggles...

Reply to Invasion Queston in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, that goofy blur of spinning numbers is a major factor in an Invasion!!!! On my system they go so fast all I can do is "Click an pray " I admit to a little cheese here, SAVE first and try again if things go bad ... I have a dedicated INVASION save slot. Byram

Reply to early shipbuilding tips/strategies? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

On gigantic maps with Anomalies set to Abundant , I make a few comb Scout / Survey ships. Cargo Hull - Life Support - Sensors - Survey Module - as many engines that fit ... Fast enough to scout and it is handy to be able to collect the Anomally candy quickly.

This Game Talk forum has some good info on the Dread Lord mission in the campaign. Check out the "Newbie Guide MKll" and the "siege wtf " thread... OR, you can RETIRE from the DL siege mission and select the alternate mission to form an alliance with the Torians. (Way of the Wimp) Byram

Campaign game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I bought GalCiv2 last week, made it thru the system set-up dance (thanks to this VERY helpful forum!!) and started a sandbox game on a huge map as the Terrans. After several hours of Xplore and Xpand I got the urge to blast something so I switched to the Campaign game. I was building up my little empire in normal mode and at the point when I was building my first Defender ships the dirty Drengs attacked my newest colony with transports!! I checked the tech tree and found it would take 50+ turn
