Personally, I thought it was the best part of that game, I wish that the event would happen more often!
They do that in DA as well. In a game yesterday I had the even happen for the first time, and they wiped out half my fleet (while it was orbiting my own planets) before I could organize a defense and fight them off.
What do you mean you are "forced" to go to war?
What I find to be most effective in bilking the AI is to: 1) Declare War 2) Destroy Every Ship/Starbase they have, bringing their military rating to 0 3) Offer Peace for as much as you can get (lots!) 4) Repeat until you are tired or they surrender.
I feel confident that I am speaking for the community, whether they publicly admit/deny it or not, when I say that a vital feature for TA that has not yet been addressed is the promotion of the Snathi from the role of a minor race to a major race. I call on all members of the forum to let their voices be heard in this effort to end the unjust, immoral, and dare I say evil oppression of the Snathi species. They deserve to be alowed an equal opportunity alongside the other species, and it

If you notice in the section of topics that have been stickied, fifth from the top, there is a thread titled "The Case for No Multiplayer". That should answer your question, but if you have others they can likely be answered there.
[quote]Is that quitting?[/quote] Not from my understanding of what you wrote. Not liking an option and not including it in a game isn't quitting, and that is exactly why the options are there, so you can have the game you want. What I don't like are those who pull an electronic version of tipping the board game over. If someone doesn't want to finish for what ever reason that's there business, but when they quit in frustration then complain about it and want the game change

[quote]Are Games for Window's crittics stupid or somthing?[/quote] Here is a handy piece of advice, and you can take it or leave it if you so choose. Next time you suggest that someone is stupid, you may want to check your spelling first. The proper spelling for this sentence would involve "critics" and "something", as well as the proper punctuation of "Windows". ;)
Maybe the Gremlins were brought in after the Wheel of Fire incident(s) so that posts could "disappear" more innocuously. :)
This old argument again? To all those complaining about Mega Events being too powerful or otherwise "game killing", I would recommend that you read [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=162&aid=145436"]this post[/link] which I feel properly addresses the matter. Further, anyone who quits a game early has no business saying that a mega event made it so they couldn't win. The only thing keeping them from winning is the fact that they are a quitter, and they had better get u
Meh, console gaming will always be the more popular choice, always has and always will (how many people played Mario 3 as compared to how many have played the original MOO?). In the last eight years the three best PC games I've played haven't been major studio productions (vanilla GalCiv2, Darwinia, and Defcon), all of which have very minimal copy protection, yet managed to turn a tidy sum for their respective developers despite their modest price. Unless he intends on making t

1. No particular margin is needed. 2. I believe that excess spending on a planet, such as social when nothing is being built, is then divided between the military and research components of that planet.
A couple things: First and most important, [U]Don't buy on credit early game[/U]. The payments will quickly swamp your fledgling economy and bog you down for most of the game. Second, you don't have to start building everything at once. If you settle a planet but don't tell them to build any thing the population will balance at around 6 billion and will be fairly happy. So, you can build up just a few planets at a time so that you don't overwhelm your economy. Third
[quote]The AI must be cheating - it must be omnipresent.[/quote] I think you mean omniscient (which it isn't), were they omnipresent you would have lost already. ;)
[quote] Anyone else experienced something like this?[/quote] I usually play with very few planets, so when the event shows up it is often a death sentence for the evil races. I find it hilarious.
[quote] Wiping out several fleets without a loss using a first strike ability, for instance, indicates that you're punching above your weight. [/quote] I always go with first strike and work to keep ahead of everyone logistically. As a result in the game I mentioned above it ended with my military having destroyed 971 enemy ships while only losing 7 of our own. A 138:1 kill ratio definitely wins the wars. :CONGRAT:
When the game calculates military strength it uses total military force, not on a ship to ship basis. Because of this,a race with a significantly lower military strength can actually be the more powerful one due to various reasons, such as the ability to put more ships into a fleet (who cares if person A has 100 more ships if they can't put them into fleets big enough to put up a fight), or having weapons that no one has defenses for. So, even though you are winning the AI might still be look
