Strictly in the timing and choice of engagement. If I'm faster I can run, and you can't. No effect in the actual battle.

The Snathi have no use for other "species". We find non-rodent intelligent life obscene. Every Snathi warrior joins our cause under the exact promise of conquered trees. No, really.. I'd favor a deeper invasion mini-game but not one that steals too much from the space battles overhead. Anything I can't do in more than about a half-dozen clicks per turn per planet would just be a distraction... and likely more tedious than the slot machine we have now. I'd de

Reply to What do you name your ships? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

B/c the ship lists in drop downs and the shipyard is alphabetized, I slap a prefix before all my ship names so I know what they do, then label them (usually) - a -attack (small, quick , cheap hulls) b- base constructor c- colony d- defense (small, slow, cheap hulls) h- huge warships i- transports (invaders) l- large warships m- medium warships s- scout/survey t- trade <

May have been mentioned before but... Twice so far, the Torian computer player has suddenly jumped from a few thousand BC to a very large digit number (somewhere around 9 or ten digits on the diplo screen). When it did this, I was unable to attempt to trade for its wealth b/c moving the trade BC slider skipped around seemingly randomly in # of digits and sign, continuously trying to reset to far left. The value displayed was obviously the max possible displayable value, as it remained

Hah...you think you got it rough with your fancy-smancy computer! Back in my day we had to sit twenty monkeys in a room with the support staff for a broadway musical armed with catle prods to get that kind of entertainment. I used up so much juice we had to keep the boilers stuffed full of parakeets, or any avian that was available...a chicken will do nicely in a pinch. I remember one day back in '83 I was wearing a hankerchief on my left index finger, which was the style at the time. Blah

Reply to Evil, Neutral, or Good? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

How do you think you will most likely win? Alliance Victory --> Good Technology --> Neutral Conquest --> Evil I usually end up going neutral (I like big worlds), but I think all three are well balanced. Good has really great defenses (components, global bonuses, and diplomacy), neutral has the economy and research (PQ, NLC, Neutral Trade) and Evil has POWER (free upgrades, mean projects, and uberguns). The ethical decisions are really irrelevant... just

Reply to About the web poll.. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

After spending two weeks reading these forums w/o creating a login, I had to make one just to throw a comment onto this thread. Wow.... that's over $5 just in 25 cent words. The whole thread reminds me of the arrogant arse in the bar scene of Good Will Hunting. You guys spent all afternoon bouncing around spouting 'facts' and studies. This has truly been the height of my day! Dys, had you pegged as gay second post. No offense... I hope you've got a great guy that can keep up
