hey frogboy! Why don't you invent an artifical human playerwho is samrt, you could call him a.i. LOL hehe I'm very glad galciv is single player, i think you would have had to cripple the game a lot to be multi-player. a bit of history, my first multiplayer game was at 300baud, there were no checks to see if people could hit keys faster than others, i would be cruising around in my battleship, and somebody in the computer center with a 9600baud terminal would kill me befo

you don't have to go to war with a race is at war with you ally on certain conditions. Hi Ancient Warrior If he is at war before you joined an alliance then you are not required to do so. If he just declared war, you have 2 options, go to war or to break the alliance. sometimes you will go to war and then do a peace treaty. If your senate is powerful enough they might disagree with the peace treay and say we must support our ally therefore we vote to go

Reply to PC Gamer GalCiv Review in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

welcome Lifewish the game is awesome, no if only my Terror Star could get over to Flemming's Game :-) hehe. There are great people on this forum and don't be afraid to ask any questions. Somebody will usually answer them. Actually you'll more than likely get mutiple answers. Flemming and I have played the gamma version and it's like stardock is releasing galciv 1.5 instead of 1.0 that's how much better it is in comparison to the last beta. see you around the forum rich

Reply to Question about diplomacy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

it's kind of important for a lot of reasons to maybe check the diplomacy screen every turn, you can see when an a.i. is starting to get mad at you, you can also see who has alliances with each other. adjust how much you spend on destabalizing and espionage. I suggest strongly that you look at the diplomacy main screen a lot as you get started on the game rich

hi Ancient Warrior by the way i can with core detonation, mass drivers, and other invasion options, not only take the plkanet back to the stoneage i can take it from a habitable planet (usually class 14/15 and higher) down to a class 8 or 9, which is totally unihabitable. I can't wait to hear what you think when you finally get the game. I've had that luxury, you hopefully will experience it very soon. :) rich

Hi FFAristocrat! If you capture the star system where the trade route ended/started from then those trade routes he'll lose. but more importanly if you destroy enought of the commercial trading vessels (they're the small ships moving along the trade routes) the commercial sponsors (it's a commercial not a military route) will cancel the route as being to unprofitable. there is a random U.P.Issue that comes up that can protest trading vessels if voted on.

luck_jack ! i've been doing it it the last couple of games. it also depends dorectly on the amount of people in the other races systems, maxed out culture on one terror star and it wasn't enought to get 1 planet to defect 130b people on that sucker.

Hi Nidaros! That's not a bad idea at all :) sort of a high speed terror star without the terror, with less defensive and military points than a starbase. the other option is if you are going to fight a lot in a certain sector is to build up a star based, maxed out on military and defensive modules rich

Reply to what happens when you cut an enemy civ in half? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No it's the same empire they don't divide into different empires. the more planets you take from him the weaker he can become. However you better make sure he doesn't have a lot of trade routes with someone bigger than you because the other race might attack you for their own economic survival. The major thing to watch out for is does he have any allies, if so they will come to his aid by attacking you :( have fun playing the game rich
