Ive been trying to make custom planets but cant do it. I open the CustomPlanets folder in Notepad and nothing happens same with the other data files, is there a program im missing or something?. Im A modding virgin and i figure its time to get my cherry poped...........
Comparing Galciv 2 to chess is comparing apples to oranges, AIs can own humans in chess because there are a fixed number of moves/fixed number of peices, you move a piece to the best location, applying logic to deternine the players next moves. Chess AI does not have to design its pieces using current techology, use diplomacy, balance an economy, develop planets, reserch different techs, or battle up to 9 other players. The AIs colonyships move to fast? deal with it, your a sentiant
Out sold ALL software? Congratulations

I agree with jks, all we have with bill gates is a sales man, and with microsoft we have nothing but a company trying to make as much money as possible, while innovating as little as possible. I heard that to play Halo 2 when it comes out on PC, the new windows will be required to play it. Not that I would ever buy Halo 2, let alone on a pc, but that is still rediculous, Imagine the bugs on the new windows......... i wouldnt be surpised if my comp created some kind of vortex once installed. "i
I noticed that plasma lll has a size of 5 on my small ship but the game text says it has a size of 6. Others in the tech tree maybe the same way, I havnt really looked.
With 1.2 and the new combat system building OFM and defending your planets wont be bad for the AI, If they could lern to defend thier starrbases we would be cooking with gas.
I would just like the ability to threaten er.... em "inform" the AI about ships/starbases in my area. Diplomacy could also have an effect on this, If low diplomacy then it would come off as a harsh threat, and the other civ would drop relations or something.
No Sorceresss, if your planet is attacked and you have lets say 3 ships in orbit for defence, they will not defend as a fleet. The enimies fleet will pick them off 1 at a time. I think to get a fleet manager you need to research 1 of the logistic techs, ive never used it myself.... Also I would like to know, If I build a fleet manager, do ALL ships in ordit defend as a fleet. Or is it just the planet the manager is built on?
I recently also played a game on masochistic, I had a poop start position, no tech trading, medium galaxy i think. The AI waayyyyy out teched me (first game on that skill level) and I was Yor so after 30 or 40 turns 2 civs gang up on me for being evil with a weak military, Im done right? wrong The Terrans declare war and dont do a single thing, The Iconions declare war, and after about 10 turns I see a single fleet of heavy fighters picking off star bases. The funny thing is, the Terrans then m
I think that he is right about the ai not being aggressive, in my current game on crippling the Terrans declared war on me and I didnt even know it until my frieghtor got to Earth and i got the message basicly saying "You cant trade with civs your at war with, ass" So then I take their 4 highest PQ planets in like 3 turns with the same size military, then let influence flip the rest. This happens too much I think. Alot of AIs declaring war with decent military ratings, but they just sit there o
"extra" production should be carried over, at leat in the form of credits on something like that.
what is the wounded in action medal for?
wow, looks great
Good question, I would like to know my self
wow, interesting, im glad I asked this question So Rogue, you say that planets are divided into there PQ rating then under that there are green/purple, earth like, icy, dessert, each having there own number of upgradable tiles? Im sleepy..................... seems this would go really well with a neutral civ..hmmm.......
GOOD JOB!!! i accually first heard about this game on a civ 4 site, checked out this site and saw it just came out a week ago (this was early march), Civ 4 left me itching for a good single player TBS game. ( I mean who has the time to play a multiplayer TBS game, good lord, espessially playing against ppl i dont know) well anyway I bought this and its great. Keep up the great work
I thought the iconians were good
I thought the iconians were good
I need to know!!!
So government types ONLY give an eco bonus? no 25/50/75 Production & research? I feel so violated, i guess increased production/research was all in my head, i never accually checked, just assumed it happened. Good job
Does anyone know if the Planet Quality abilty works properly? If I recall I dont think it did pre 1.1.
I agrre with Teancum. I feel that the current system is fine, the AI just doesnt handle it well. I say the let the AI "evolve" through patches and such, look at the advancements made on the AI since this first shipped. It can only get better
Idiot
I use black, infuence is easy to spot since here isnt much empty spape, medium map. ships dissapear sometimes though, I attribute that to the burmuda triagle......... OF SPACE!!
Ive been playing a medium galaxy 5 AI on crippling/genius? i think or gifted Torians and Iconians colonized rapidly, espesially the Iconians, they had like 9 planets during the opening turns. Yor and Dregnin colonised slower, but made up for it by pwning the Terrans and Torians later on, accually had to intervine to keep the torians from being compleatly conquered, and my buffer zone dissapearing. What Im saying is they may not colonize as fast, but they make up for it. All comps in this game
