Stand alone ship designer application in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hi guys, Just wanted to run this idea past you... Inspiration for this idea come from the game "The Movies" where there is a little sub program called "Star designer" where you can create and save your actors and actresses that you created to disc, without having to load up the game to do it first. Could this concept be used for DA? where you open up an application which is solely used for designing ships (using a modify part of the in game constructor) you could then

i personnaly think that they way the abilities were initially decided, that they would make the game extremely unbalanced. the super abilities are well a bit too super for my liking.

Enforced Treaties in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, this one is a diplomatic kinda thing, but could have a big impact on how you would play the game. Basicallly its a border/influence treaty where you would not be able to pass through another races space unless you had permission, or of course unless you broke the treaty ad went through their space without permission (thus affectinh how the race feels towards you). An example of how this plays is in CIV4, where your troops could not enter the other races borders unless war w

Bigger maps & Trade Idea in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I have seen lots of great ideas that people would like added to the game, but i dont think i have seen these ones... 1. I would personnaly like the option to choose even bigger maps, yup i'm one of those people who like to have really long games at this, so personnal if it was possible, I would love to see even bigger maps, they could be called "immense" or "epic"! what do you think? 2. regarding trade ships, and trade routes. as well as having trader outes with pl

Hi all, Whats the gossip on the street for a release datre for this ultimate tease of an expansion? Best possible Date? Realistic Date? Worst Case Scenerio Date? Thanks!

War Paint in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

An idea I have just thought of.... When creating a ship, would it be possible that you could add art work to the ships "Hard points". these could be transparant gifs, which would automatically wrapp round the surface of the ship conponent. Doing this could enable you to add different colours, battle damage scoring, cracks to glass and other damage. you could then also add custom logos. Not only would this give more variety on how ships look, but it would add a good st

Turn Based Combat? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hi Guys, what do you think of the idea of turn based combat, rather than watching the automatic combat? This could be an option added to the game which would add a great element of tactics to the game, rather than the seemingly random cinema effect. Players would then be able to choose which ship attacks what and with which weapon. You could also get to have the option to retreat or surrender in the combat as well, maybe even ramming! Pros: More Tactics Achie

Game Over in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Hi Guys, Just another liitle idea, probably has already been mentioned, but could there be an option where if you race loses, you can continue to watch the game after your death to see who wins? that way if we ever decide to surrender our planets to another race rather than being wiped out we could see what happened as we wtach the computer play out the rest of the turns.

I dont think the time scale would need to be that relevant to any family, or goverment hierarchy or anything. each race could have a modifier to how thier family grows, hive type thus creating family quicker. Also, you wouldnt start the game with just two people, there would be a "family tree" already in place. Maybe an option similar to research speed could be implemented. e.g. slow research speed = 1 turn = 1 week, & fast research = 1 month in passing. although you would say about

Reply to Royal Families / Houses in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I know what you mean about some of the races like the terran alliance, but then you could have a president, vice president, chancellor kind of thing going. also in the expansion you'll be able to use custom races, this option (well for me anyway) has a huge impact on me and the way i'll play the game, you'll be creating your own universes! people will be able to do great games like star wars fcations, buck rogers, star trek, due, the list goes on and on etc. so the royal family, house tree wou

Royal Families / Houses in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Sorry, just another idea for the expansion; I saw this kind of thing in a space game 15 or so years ago on the commodore amiga (now thats old!). dont ask me what the name of the game was I cant remember, you could say it was one that was a super early type of gal civ.. Anyway, would it be possible to add a family tree / command structure / royal family (race pendant) type thing to the game. where each race would have a equivilant of a king, queen, offspring, offsprings offspring etc etc

Offline Scoreboard in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Just a suggestion, well request really. I ca't wait for the expansion, with all these new features it will seem more like galciv 3 8) superb! anyway, please can i put a request in for an offline scoreboard which can be viewed from the main menu. some of us people cant do the online thingy at present, and i would love to have a record of my scores & maybe a rating stored on the computer e.g. how civ 4 does it. maybe also having the option to include your opponents scores into th

Thanks for liking my ideas. I probably would take a lot of work to implement RE: AI behaviour Any in response to drakonfire, you can technically get people to vote with you in a round about way. if you want their support for a voting issue.... a few turns before the UP votes, simply issue a diplomatic trade with the race and "purchase" influence points from that race. if you have a nice bank account the AI will be pleased for the trade. you gain more influence points for the n

United Planets Constructive Suggestions in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi all, I love GC2 but my only real gripe with it at the moment is how the United Planets section works. rather than explain and whine about what I dont like about it, i'll just provide my suggestions into how i believe it would work better and be more fun to play. 1. At the beginning of the game, no races should be a member of the United Planets 2. To bring the UP into existence in the game a race need to research a yellow tech for it (the tech would be after universal
