After 2-3 hours i finally got some decent missions from the npc closest to me. In the end we were up to 19 points and homies. I also had a minor ally and together we slaughtered the enemy. The plan was for me and the ally to gang up on the "minor" ally, i didnt like them. The game just ended with a diplomatic victory, the npc we ganged up probably died, not sure how this happened since they had a few planets left. One thing i dont get in this game is how fast the enemy generates a fle

Thanks, finally got it to work. I do have some huge problems however. The problem with these "missions" that they give you is that they always want you to head to the other side of the galaxy to do something. I mean... what the hell is it a joke? The biggest problem is if you decline or fail the missions they hate you even more. Its annoying as hell anyway, especially when im in a war. To be honest i have only completed one mission so far, the rest have always been "go to other side o

I dont understand how diplomacy even works! The npc's are always set to 0, if i send an envoy it will get destroyed. I tried bribe and everything i couldnt get it over 3-4 points. What am i doing wrong, is there some sort of setting ive missed? The npc always hate me, every single one of them. They wont allow cease fire or anything. Im not gonna lie i have no real idea how the game works. In other "games" you always start at neutral... I wanted to see how diplomacy worke

Im a new player and i barely know the game. A friend said it was awesome and what not so i thought, might as well give it a try. After only about 2 hours of playing, i havent even got close to the enemy npc, which is not the problem. Ive only got like 4-5 planets spread out, yeah its lovely being new. Anyway ive bid against pirates for a while but stopped doing it so see what happened. I got this little fleet and defense around my planet. All of the sudden this HUGE pirate army appears. They

Another thing i was wondering over, how can the computer be so insanely fast at colonizing planets?. In the beginning they pretty much get everything including "resources", i end up getting the smaller planets and stuff the AI just left behind. I tend to play on smaller galaxies btw, usually under medium size. I tried play vs computer on masochist mode and i went down so fast it made me chair spin. The computer was all over the galaxy in a few minutes and in the end it had some insane

Btw, is it best to stick with 1 branch of the war tree when picking a weapon or should you go for "all of them"?. I tend to stick with one atm, so i get it faster and ready for war. I usually go for bigger hulls and weapons first, then take the fluff later. This probably isnt the smartest way to do stuff tho. Never said im good at strategy but im learning

I didnt know that thing about population. On most my planets i have 1 farm most of the time, filled with alot of stock exchange and a couple research labs. I tend to keep research labs on their own planet. Im not sure what population actually does tho, beside lowering morale and making you add more entertainment to keep them happy.

The problem with this is, even tho the computer wont do anything (unless war). If you faced humans they would know what you were doing and blow them away. But still ive yet to actually "overtake" a planet later in the game just by influence. At most had 4 starbases (probably more if you count in the influence field from other starbases) near 1 planet. I never got it, at this time i had the whole "yellow" tech tree completed. Sure the computer liked to send me his warnings about a party in a star

Anyone know if the "sentry" and "guard" options actually work and if they do, how do they work? Everytime you attack or the enemy attack your planet, they only hit 1 ship at a time, not all ships in orbit. So i kinda see it more or less pointless to have "alot" of defense in the planet. What im doing is have my ships in starbases close to bases so they can reach if i see a troop ship (or enemy fighter ships incoming). I think best way is to meet the computer in space, rather then to l

Ive been playing GalCiv2 for a little while now and i have some questions... How do you conquer anything with influence?. Ive tried several ways to do this but in the end thye all fail badly. I tend to end up fighting military federations that totally destroy me. My research is slow compared with the computer, the computer is insanely fast doing everythig (im playing on normal mode lol). I can beat the computer on normal mode, but only if i go very much for big hulls and big guns, see
