Updated the list to move Against the Tide to the working section. I had thought that starting the Against the Tide challenge would also grant War with the Unknown, since I had only met 2 of the civs when I turned on Against the Tide and they all declared war on me, but it didn't work. It might have been because I had built Eyes of the Universe. Seems like it shouldn't have, though, since building that doesn't let you declare war on anyone you haven't already met.

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="48" id="3926151"] These aren't on your list, but are on the GalCiv 4 page. Build a Terror Star Use a Terror Star Win by Terror Star Lose by a Terror Star Lose by Your Own Terror Star [/quote] Interesting. Some may have been added since I made my original post. The last 4 show up in the list of Steam Achievements, but Build a Terror Star does not. Strange. Anyway, I

IIRC, Niven's Ringworld had a star in the middle of it, with the livable surface on the inside of the ring facing the star. A small portion of a Dyson sphere, as it were. Also had orbiting segments between the star and the ring to block the light and provide nighttime to portions of the ring.

Reply to "New Eden" Galactic Challenge not unlocking in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="1" id="3925463"] I've played many games, including my current one (2.4.578621 Insiders w Custom Civ), where I've had way more than 9 colonies, and I never knew this challenge existed, so I'd have to agree it's not unlocking [/quote] Same here. In my current game I've got 29 colonies, I've never seen that unlock either.

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="44" id="3925065"] Fleet victory is weird as I haven't been able to get it to unlock, but the global stats for it via Steamdb show that 18% of the player base have unlocked it. [/quote] Exactly. I've been winning fleet victories against AI civs, pirates, and monsters, with small fleets, medium sized fleets, and fleets with dozens of ships (on both sides) since the beta of the base game on Epic, and I've never gotten the achievement. But the stats

Reply to AlienGPT issues in GalCiv IV Feedback GalCiv4 Forums

The developers have said that the artwork is selected from a library of portraits produced by Stardock artists (for copyright reasons), and that the artists are continuing to add more art to the library based on what people ask for in AlienGPT. It is therefore likely that there wasn't anything already in the library matching "radioactive behemoths" (although I agree that Trandals would have been a better choice than humans).

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="37" id="3924193"] Yeah, took me forever to get it, though I never kept track of the turns. One thing that you might try is shopping around the discover anomalies tech(s) to a couple different civs before starting the challenge(to increase the raw number of anomalies), and maybe even during the challenge to replenish the amount of anomalies, though there might be some funny business there with how the game tracks anomalies internally because it took me foreve
