We appreciate your work in the community for this, Kyro. It's a shame we cant do it this way, though I think the current way is a bearable alternative.

Reply to Buying the galaxy through diplomacy in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Have you patched up yet? The diplomacy gets much harder after the more recent set of patches. And yes, Super Diplomat really is a super ability - you can do a lot of ridiculous stuff with it.

Reply to What would you pay good money for in an expansion? (The unofficial inquiry) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Some sort of light Multiplayer. You dont need to waste time balancing it, just put a disclaimer on it that says something like Multiplayer intended for fun only - balance not included. I just want the ability to play with other humans, instead of AI's. We'll take care of what's allowed and what isnt on our own!

Reply to Official Multiplayer Discussion Thread in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not even looking to play against people I know - my girlfriend and I both have galciv and we're dying to ally up and slap the AIs around. Also, the human player experience in a Civ game is so much more different than an AI. You can trick humans with feint moves, though you cant embroil them in wars (unless you pay an AI to get into it with them) and you may or may not have to give your left arm for techs, but some of the trades probably wont be nearly as bad.

Reply to Krynn v. Korath Tournament - KRYNN WIN! in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Just got in from work (arr zombie shift) and finished up this game - just a matter of polishing off the tools of war and bashing the remaining races to a bloody pulp - the Krynn got pretty much stepped on and never posed a real threat. Actually, no one really did - the speed +2 boost to colonize the main good planets in the Small galaxy really helped me pretty much abuse the three AIs all game - they just didnt have the planets to oppose me. Shame I didn't put more than four in, coulda

Just watch out for the cashflow pains when invading planets - first you take pop away from one of your own planets to fight and capture, then you eat the maintenance fees on the colony as you build it.

Almost tied? let me help! First metaverse game, first game with the Korath - and yes, I did make sure to exterminate the worthless Krynn first

Reply to Aaaargh! *&%$! Pirates! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Pirate and Spy Infestation events both suck - and I like 99% of the megas, but those two just ruin it.

Reply to Closed/Open Boarders like in the Sid Meier's Civilization games in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Sounds like a good pretext for war, in my opinion. There's not enough options like the ability to blockade the enemy anyways.

Reply to Closed/Open Boarders like in the Sid Meier's Civilization games in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I'd love a "go away" option. IT'd also be interesting if you were in between a civ at war with another civ - they'd have to risk pissing you off to kill each other. Speaking of good devs, Stardock rules! Turbine's a damn good company too. Blizzard's customer support went DOWN THE TUBES with WoW.

Reply to Pirates = boooooring in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Wouldnt mind the mega events so much if I could mod the spy event out. that one just plain sucks.

Reply to Xfire Support for Dark Avatar in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'd like to see this too - I use xfire to keep in touch with the regulars on my CSS server and it'd be nice to be able to talk to them without alt-tabbing.

Reply to freighter question in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That would be a very good QoL change, IMO. Even if you made it so say, we had to bring the freighter to the non-building planet to pick up supplies, then launch it again. Use the assign option like the mining bases have, and remove any "over time" route bonuses when you move the origin point.

Reply to Custom Race in MyGames in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I've never had it do anything to the module style of my custom (or modded original) races. How odd...

I use escape to close open windows, but I don't know about tab.

Reply to Oh noes, the evil Drengin Empire is defeating me wholesale.. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, agree with you Ray. I'd also like to see the AI take into account the fact that you're stealing his planets, and perhaps approach you with a trade - you give him the planets back and he gives you some tech, money, and peace.

Reply to Doing well in this game seems to depend too much on pure luck. in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Yes. I support both an option for no anomalies and no bonus tiles in their respective game options.

Reply to Doing well in this game seems to depend too much on pure luck. in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

We need a sandbox game option for planet bonus tiles.

Reply to ai game play questions? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

If this is happening however - do we stop it? I'm of the mind we shut it off unless the AI is playing on any level where it gets bonuses over the human player.

Reply to I'm a miserable failure... in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Super Organizer is an iffy trait. How good it is really matters as to how many other good-aligned civs are in the game with you. When someone attacks you (and I think when you attack them) then every civ that shares the same alignment joins in the war. Super Organizer turns a little scuffle into a galaxy-wide war.

Reply to Evil the best? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I think GOOD should have an ability that makes it easier to flip Evil planets and half of that bonus for neutral planets. Think about it - would people want to live under the crushing rule of say, the Yor, or the freedom of the Altarians?

Reply to Evil the best? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Basically Neutral and Evil are both allright, but good is gimpy

Reply to The One event that truely sucks in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, the 5pc/wk one isnt the worst Have you guys never gotten the "spies are here, we are infesting every planet, enjoy" event ? It's really terrible if you've already used quite a few spies, so the costs are exorbitant, then the spies are on your econ tiles - that event sucks the most amount of suckable objects.

Reply to AI intensive Algorithms in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I always wondered just what it was capable of doing with the enhanced options on - like just how much smarter is it?

Reply to ai game play questions? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Also I'm still of the mindset that the AI gets the fog revealed when you do.
