Research mod

Need Help

from Stardock Forums
I'm in the middle of learning how to mod things. Can someone make a mod for me that makes all research just take one week each?

If you want to learn how to mod, them make the mod yourself.

Open TechTree.xml and change all the Cost tags to a value of 100 or so.


Bear in mind that the AI will get the lower research times as well.

There is also a mod available in the Library that will let you adjust the research times to your liking. Just do a search for 'Research', and it will be one of the dozen or so that come up.

You could also look into the way that the "Hive" super ability gets significantly decreased factory cost/build time, and create a custom super ability to get the same for your research facilities.

It'd be hard to control, since overflow goes to the next item(s) in line. Once your research gets going you'd be getting entire branches in a week.

Super abilities aren't moddable, sorry.

You mean managing a colony rush, spying on your neighbors, plotting the fall of your enemies, conning other civs into doing your biding, managing an interstellar empire, and putting various plots into motion aren't entertaining enough? Boy are you tough to please...

Check out the 'Battle of the Gods' scenario. You start with all technology available, so you can design ships to your hearts content. Save the designs and you can use them in your normal sandbox games later, IIRC.

There is a way to research and have lots of money use the tech tree editor found in the galciv2 library it's very easy to use all you have to do is type in what you want and thats its make sure you make the AI value very low otherwise every enemy going to reserch it first.trust me its a way to cheat without cheating plus you can make new weapons drives,soldiering,whatever you want.If you make a new weapon will have to mod the XML files to get it to show. thanks I hope this helps
