Is it Possible to Do a Range Game?

July 10, 2010 9:00:09 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I want a game where it's easy for a player to get stuck because of range limitations and where you have to fight over planets so you can extend your empires range.  right now, it seems like range is not strategic at all.

 

Any suggestions for a scenario setup or setting that will give me this?

I don't think you could do that without modding the game.

Is there a range mod for the game?

  Play gigantic map size with "rare" planets,  restart the game until you get your home planet near an edge.  There seems to be a maximum range in GalCivII (it occurs in some of the campaign missions) which remains even when you increase your life support,  making it impossible to send freighters to some of the foreign races or explore their territories without extending your range via starbases or conquering planets (or getting the unlimited range megaevent).

Even then, you can usually negotiate with a race for a recently established or conquered planet.   Provided they have made contact.

Actually, I once read an AAR by someone who had modded range like that:

although I've never tried to replicate what he did myself.
