Population Transfers in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Can one pick up excess population and drop them off on another planet? I would like to hear how it's done before "experimenting" Thanks for any answers on this one gents.

Reply to 1.3 and still the AI can't focus in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had a similar gripe about the AI in 1.2 in this thread: https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=162&aid=124614#969162 But my focus at that time was on the inability of the AI to converge ships on an imposing enemy threat or at it's imminent arrival at a planet. Now it seems that the Transports are an issue, and they ought not to travel -whatsoever- without escort and a pre-invasion fleet. This seems to me, and probably to most of you out there, only natural. Fortunatel

Good points gents and thanks for the answers. I didn't want to find out the hard way that I had created the Wonder, traded it for some reason and then find out I had lost it forever.

Trade Goods...what do they do exactly? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

In my current game I've developed "Diplomatic Translators" for instance and have an "Exclusive". What exactly do I do with them during some diplomatic instance? If I trade them...is it by the unit? Is the tech gone for good from me? How do I benefit by creating these "Exclusives"? Any help is most appreciated.

Reply to quick question in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

btw...the Tab button is VERY inconsistent for switching between ships. Works one turn, then not the next. Also for me, the Sentry and Guard options don't work whatsoever. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but they are also not consistently putting a ship to sleep. I had gotten in the habit of clicking both options to try to sleep my ships but they just keep popping up ready to move next turn (That is -- when the Auto-Pilot decides to make itself useful). Again...I'd like to think I'm doing s

You can adjust the size of "parts" with the slider at the bottom of the ship design view window. If you don't use that then some of the parts can be seriously big or practically too small to see. Play with that slider (next to the dials).

I think Dani is really refering to how "Tankers" are used in a game like Space Empires IV. They are quite necessary, and add quite an element to that game. Personally I think anyone who likes GalCiv should try it. Certainly avid gamers should enjoy both and rejoice in their differences. This is not however, a game like SEIV Dani. Life Support and Bases are the key in GalCiv2 (in the case of range)and though tankers work well in SEIV, they would detract from this current inception of

Good Lo'd. No "next" buton seems such an undersight in this type of game. Somehow I think that "find" was the one that should do the trick -- and oddly enough it does so much of the time. Just not consistently. What's up with "find"?

Nice. Lucky, or too bad, that I feel impelled to finish my 1.2 game before upgrading. I would like to see the posts over the next few days before dumping my current game.

Thanks Cari and Dani...why though is there not a simple "next" button on screen? There seems to be buttons for almost everything else eh?

For that matter, perhaps the "Orbital Fleet Manager" and its cousins, should be assigned to the "Local" Starbase if one exists. Not to tiles. If a planet has only 5 tiles or so, but is in a strategic position, I'm sure most of us would be reluctanct to waste tiles on such extravagences as an Orbital Fleet Manager. Yet a simple cell phone call to your locals would allow you to join up to provide a common defense for your threatened system.

Sorry Danielost, I don't know how this post of mine to another thread ended up here on yours. But I'm glad I found it. But Tankers....sure, I agree. The whole Logistics thing should really be dealt with in a different way. I'm playing a Huge Galaxy game, and have maxxed out my logistics research. Yet I can only assemble 10 or so Mid Sized ships in a complete fleet! I understand that this particular flavour of game needs to have limited fleet sizes...but damn if I can understand why

To my way of thinking...if they are orbiting a friendly planet, their logistics should be almost unlimited anyway. It is the oncoming enemy fleet that is light years away from a friendly base that needs to worry about the logistics. Cor

Hey Seth...you should fill the shoes nicely of the clown who wrote all the Diplomatic Dialogues and Tech Descriptions. Apply for the job. Yes...True Terraforming of PQ0 planets should exist without question. But then again, shouldn't a PQ15 get a bump as well then? More ships, more fun. And MadDjinn, yes... if the Torians grab Mars while I'm off galavanting for another PQ 16+ planet...then I feel they would be rather more than chastised verbally.

Reply to Why do modded constructors needs upgrading to yet a Constructor? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

btw...forgot to mention. Even with @ 8+ constructors added to the starbase...they are inevitably "toast" without ship sentries. Can anyone out there confirm that they've seen a fully augumented starbase survive a 43+ logistics fleet attack? I haven't.

Reply to Why do modded constructors needs upgrading to yet a Constructor? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah be sure you have the constructor module still in the design. Gadzooks! You might need to strip an engine off your previous design as they are rather "heavy" in construction cost. But that's as it should be. One further notice to you that I can mention. Don't set up a fresh starbase without at least 3-4 constructors in the initial start up. Single startup Starbases with no protection are eaten alive by the AI at the start of your 1st war. So that Morale base of yours with 4 min

Reply to AI Issue #61c in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I still don't see how "create fleet" in a planet or star system would hurt. And that can't be all that hard to implement. Small steps first of course. But the current actions are a shame. On ANY level of play, they (the AI's ships) should gel together into a fleet at the approach of an enemy of any size, at the planet of greatest PQ. IMHO~~~ Even at my level of complexity (as I mentioned I don't remember which I picked but certainly a bump or 3 above "normal") they really need not t

Reply to quick question in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Not that I know of...there should really be a button for "next ship/planet" in the main info area. I have a problem with this also. You should see what happens when you have 100 ships out there and the only way you can be SURE you hit every one for a move is to click the ship/planet button and scroll through each one. It is also horrible in that every time you slect a ship...even if you are half way down the list...it will close the window, let you move the ship, then upon reopening the list,

Reply to And on the next day God created Mountains... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Beta should also imply that someone at the company loaded a saved game and saw this bug as well eh? Beta doesn't mean that it (the latest iteration of GalCiv2) erupted from the last programmers "Save" and then launched itself onto the download list. But... Remember...WE are the playtesters for this game for the most part. And that is both good and bad news.
