Reply to bad values for subspace blaster component? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It isn't only the beam-weapon line that is in need of some adjustments. Here are some weird gun stats: Technology Mass Drivers III gives both Railgun MK V and Railgun MK VI (component name, cost, size, sizemod, damage) "Railgun MK V", 22, 6, 5, 1 "Railgun MK VI", 22, 5, 5, 1 Pointless, either remove MK VI completly or make one of them better and much more expensive with another name. Quantum Driver follows Graviton Driver IV "Graviton Driver

Actually, now that I think of it, there's only one weapon, but two techs in between the two. The description for Subspace Annihilator says: "The Subspace Annihilator is the Subspace Blaster but with a newly engineered crystal that can inflict massive beam weapon damage." So they are both bugged. Subspace Blaster is a joke and Subspace Anni

How does this work exactly, in the combat viewer? Are all the ships firing at the same time since it would be a little weird if the defending ships damage the attacking ships after they had exploded?

It does seem weird that it'd be linked with espionage. Maybe you're thinking of the event where your ambassador accidentaly insults another empire. I guess I might have done that

No, it's a myth that the game is designed that way. The developers have confirmed that this is on their bug-list.

This looks really cool. Be sure to get all the different events in there, assasination, race changes morality, I-League, Fundamentalists etc. since they really add to the story.

This is a very pesimistic view, but I see little evidence that Europe has what it takes to resist. To resist what exactly? Sure, there are racists in this country too who would agree with you but I don't think a little islamic growth in Europe will bring us down in flames <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=0 A

If that was aimed at me, no, it wasn't TIC. But then it doesn't seem that you really got what I was writing. My point was that as most things in the world, USA as a whole aren't completly good nor completly evil but somewhere in-between.

Reply to Sensor MK IV bug in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It's kinda stupid that you actually can design a ship with 25 sensor range though. Shouldn't be possible adding modules so that the ship goes over 15. Or better yet, increase the cap to 30 or something.

Seriously, why do you expect a more intelligent, space-faring race to have been so much nicer in it's growth then us humans? I would expect that most intelligent species would evolve somewhat similar to the human race with lots of wars, idiotic religions, genocide etc. You don't get to become an enlighted race without some hardships.

Sensor range is capped at 15. So if you have Eyes of the Universe, IIRC your starbases will already have 14 in sensor range without any modules or bonuses.

Reply to Campaign game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

A tip is to not have the same build order for all planets (especially that one) and instead actually build what the planet needs and when it needs it, often depending on what you want to do with the planet and of course bonus tiles. Start by building a couple factories so that you get a good production on your planets, that will decrease the time it takes to build everything else. If you want to have decent research, you will obviously need more then one lab per planet or have some dedicated res

Reply to OK PLEASE SOMEONE FROM STARDOCK RESPOND THIS in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I agree, there is lots of text that is in need of a update. The two things that are bugging me the most is that the different governments still list a production and research bonus even though Frogboy confirmed a long time ago that they don't and aren't supposed to. And neutral alignment lists that they give additional weapons and defences when it's clear to anyone that they don't and won't ever get them. How hard can it be to change the text?

I-League and Fundamentalists are created by events that you have no control over. Low morale can have some of your colonies form their own empire with a random name. This time it was apparently using your homeworld's name.

1. We need better AI for maximizing ship creation ability: Basically the AI does not build the best ships it can apparently. In a recent game on Masochistic (I cheated to barely keep up by adding about 40k in funds and did ctl-n until I had a precur mine, FYI), I managed to make it to an end-game position without going to war with the Arceans. The Arceans had essentially d

It means the routes themselves can't be killed. Which they aren't. I believe originally it meant no ship got hurt, but did you ever see that? I did. A dread lord armada of 40 battleships following my freighter, trying to attack it. THAT was a glaring error. It's now fixed, they can attack ships but the route is always there. I think that works out qui

Reply to The value of defense in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm pretty sure it's 0 to max. One of the developers mentioned it. When 0 damage is done or blocked it just isn;t shown. I believe the developers over many, many things but not my own eyes. I have never seen that happen and I'm quite sure that no-one else has either since we haven't had a single bug-report of 'Ships not always firing in combat'.<br/

Hmm just thought about an interesting strategy make a couple of medium ships with nothing but defensive armor, shields and Point defenses. Then create your super fleet killer ship and use the defense ships to buy you time to take out their fleets. Then all you have to do is simply add a new defense ship relatively quickly to the fleet. Your making basically, cannon fodder
