Planets with Rings get a Research Bonus?

March 21, 2006 3:08:56 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I read this in another post (one with lots of numbers). If this is true, where's it documented, and what else did I miss by not reading it?

I'd be really curious to know if there are any other subtle, hidden gems like this in the game.

Is it research? Hmmm, I thought it was morale!!! I imagined all the people were happy to see the pretty sky! hehe
Moons also give a small production bonus (10%?). You should be able to see the effect in either summary or details tabs at the bottom of the city screen.

It does, and I'm pretty sure it's in the manual.

Rings give research.
Moons give production.
Higher PQ gives economics.

Well, the ring bonus is a research planetary bonus that is listed when you go to the details of a planet

I don't know about that but high PQ (11+) worlds gives a morale bonus. Noticable from the morale tooltip on a high-PQ planet.

So many things like this are HIDDEN.

I wish they could come up with an add on manual that actually explains a lot of this.. versus various mouse overs and other 'magically found' things that are techincally part of the game.. but that a user could go months without ever discovering

I actually think the game suffers from a severe lack of mouseovers, anyway.
I get one for Morale, but many things like Income or Research remain mysterious.
Why not display mouseovers next to anywhere, letting users know how much research that orbiting research base actually adds, how much of this planets total comes from the two research resources you mine etc.
But maybe that's just me.

I did a word search of the manual. The only refernce I found to the bonusus of "different looking" planets was in the description of all the planetary interface screen items. You know... where everything in the picture has a number, and then there is a chart where it describes what's at each number. Under the description of the moon, it states in parenthesis that the moon gives a production bonus. There is no reference to rings or high PQ bonuses.

I guess that's why we come to the forums
