Typical Game?

from GalCiv2 Forums

anyway my first game with the new expansion has the game down to 6 races...


the altarians started massive with a huge tech lead and 2.5 times the population of the next nearest race...
rians
they and a galactic coalition go against the terrans and the humans level the altarians and did damn well for themselves.

I took out the weak drengin and the korx as always are swallowed by the terrans. The drath are the largest power to the east with the iconians having a minor empire.

the Thalons hold thier own against the terrans and swallow the remainder of the altarian empire and a portion of the former korx from the terrans.... they have a huge tech lead and 4 times the military of every other party... they are number 1 in every category and have the game by the balls...


the altarians have a small empire with 0 influence left... weird how they died so quickly with such superior tech.

 

in short...

 

Thalons dominating with huge lead. Terrans and Drath with considerable power... Korx die very fast and the drengin were a cakewalk.

Try playing the Drengin and Korath under the Krynn AI (edit the race in the setup panel). I've found it adds a whole new look to them!

I've played about 10 games of TA and have never seen Altarians do well. They colonize and build ships, but never really take off.

Korx always get stomped, but the concept of their race seems broken.

Sometimes Drengin do well, sometimes they piss off too many. I think usually if you play smaller games the evil races do better.

When you set up your races in the game start, right after you choose your race your opponents will be in the next screen. Choose the Drengin and a box will show "Edit" and "Disable" in the bottom screen. Choose "EDIT" and then on the next screen there will be a slider menu. Set the AI to "Krynn" and then save the Drengin. The game will use that file for the Drengin unless you choose the default race again. It will still be saved so you can load them again later.
