In my current game I have human factions 6 total, and one alien. I have "Galactic Enterprises" in control of Earth, and they are Evil, what corporation isnt, and the rest rebelled at various times from the evil corps. The alien faction I used is an ancient neutral race, similar to Arceans. FYI The biggest problem I have found with this game is the A.I.'s reliance on stats. I wanted to play something similar to what you described, a good "powder keg" situation. but.... <

Reply to Naming Ships? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I usually do, only when I am in a hurry do I name them; Frigate Destroyer Cruiser etc Normally I give them a name based on what the race is, like the post above, if they are a religious race I use religious names Evil race I use evil sounding names and so on.

I havent made it to end game tech, pretty much ever. Something always happens and I dont finish a game. I have probably played about 200+ hours of Galactic Civ II and I have never finished a game. Usually when I reach a point I know I am going to win or get stomped, I get bored quick and start thinking about what I am going to try next, and before I know it, I am starting over. I was curious how end game battles played out, with everyone loaded up with tech, but it ne

A.I. 7 doesnt work good so avoid it. The races who use it dont build like they should most of the time in TA. Other races A.I. prolly are like the races they are used with so read up on the races and the A.I. is prolly aimed in that direction. i.e. Korx are merchants so there A.I. is prolly aimed for making them act like merchants.

I couldnt find anywhere new to download the mod either. Luckly I had the full mod on my old computer still zipped up. I currently have Startrek vs Starwars complete mod sitting in a folder on my desktop, its almost 2 gigs though, and I don't think I have any way of making it available, if someone else does let me know, I'd be more than happy to share if I knew how to.

I personally like to use the "back from the future" theme, no not the movie, i.e. Something happens that has to be changed, and they send them back in time to change it. Obviously using Tholian or is it Thalian tech, which ever race is from the future. One idea is to come back and stop one or more races from enslaving the galaxy, which ushered in thousands of years of slavery and torment. Or some race nearly wiped out your species and as a last ditch effort to save you

Maybe this has been brought up before, but I didnt see it anywhere. So the current game I am playing I am at war with a custom civ "The Sith Empire" not very original I know, but I am using the Starwars/Startrek mod. Anyways I, at a time not to long ago, had about 35 ships attack/defence, the Sith Empire had about 800+ attack ships, according to the stats. Our Tech levels were almost dead even, I had the slight advantage, and our military rankings were almost
