Ship Strength and Diplomacy

August 10, 2006 9:52:08 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I've gotten out of some sticky situations by building a super-powerful ship that I can't really afford and using the resulting diplomatic advantage to ally with the civs that would have otherwise destroyed me. Apparently if you've got the tech and you build a huge maxed out ship then it can improve relations from "hostile" all the way to "friendly" over a few turns. Of course, I was -30000 BC for awhile. lol

Na, i don't even bother. I just make sure the war stays in there front yard, leaving my population to grow, and production free of any danger. Otherwise, its anywhere from topsytervy to good game.

The only time i've ever gotten into times like that are on the battle of gods scenerio, I build a super powerful ship, but I don't use it to get out of war, I use it to turn the tide and kick my enemys ass.

you can get a ton of - for beeing the weakest target. Up to 2x - for being the weakest. and up to 2x + for being the strongest difference of 4x. But what difficulty are you playing at that just 1 ships will do this.

In my games i have fleets of the strongest ship i can build not much stronger then the computor but the computor still outranks me military due to numbers.

BTW military strength is all attacks + all defence, of all your ships.

Well I had maxed out my defense tech, so it was easier to put 20+ defensive modules on my huge ship than 20+ weapons. This was the first game that I really realized how much difference military strength can make to the AI behavior. They had simply frigates with 12-20 weapons, but would use 2-3 of them to take out my huge weapons platforms. However, with the special building that doubles the HP of ships, I think I intimidated them a bit on my homeworld. The largest empire asked for peace and shortly after that I won an alliance victory.

Do starbase stats could toward military total?
