Whoops, my mistake, meant to type a date further into the future, lol.

I think 1012 was in the high middle ages. The dark ages came much later, around the 1300s.

I would have thought that you could build a second super project if you lsot the first. But i honestly never tried that...

Anyway. If you can launch such an attack deep into enemy territory, defend that planet surrounded by enemy worlds and still keep your invasion going you would have won the war without that too.

I assumed he meant 1012 years after the founding of planet Stardock.  Most planets measure time based on local years, don't they?

I just enhanced the colonization behavior for some of the AIs to be better about expanding. Drengin, Yor, etc.

Thanks.

Yea, just got done playing a very long, all day game.  Made some minor tweaks along the way to the AI.

man, that guy should get a real job - does he do anything but play and mod this game!

Cool! Just last night I thought "why does such a great game have a crap feature like this orbital fleet manager thing"? I mean, either you waste a precious tile on an improvement that you might not need even once in the entire game, or you risk a couple of enemy transporters slipping in and inviding your planet, while your powerful fleets are waiting just one tile away (or, of course, you let your ships be killed one by one). The first option is just plain stupid, the second is frustrating, so the whole concept kind of sucks. The Fleet Command center will be a great improvement there, I´m really looking forward to get my hands on it!

I´d still prefer, though, to either have all ships in an orbit defend it´s planet as a fleet by default (which is most realistic), or to enable the player to put fleets in orbits (which reduces micromanagement a bit). Another option I´d like would be to have a tech that enables fleet-planet-defense in itself, without any projekts to be build. If you ever integrate this, the Fleet Command Center could give another bonus - like, for example, give planet-defending-fleets a logistics bonus which normal fleets don´t have.

The fleet defense project sounds good, but it really won't help the AI.  Most of my games I rather them have OFM's so that I can wipe them out in 1 attack as opposed to 6-10.

As it is now, at least not having an ofm meant their cannon fodder ships were at least somewhat effective in slowing me down...

The real problem as someone above said, is that the AI still builds hords of crappy ships, and leaves them orbit.  What is the purpose of crappy ships?  The AI should build the most expensive/effective ships it can, because 1 good ship is worth hundreds of crappy ones.  When is that update going to happen?

Spot on. Nice one.

Hi There fellas,

I just bought GC2 Ultimate Edition (I'm in the UK). Never played it before but read lots about it so I thought i;d give it a go, i'm a big Civ fan so this sounds great.

Only problem is I can't register my copy on Impulse and so receive the updates. I've checked a couple-a forums and i'm gathering that it's being worked on, and also that i should post here to politely remind Brad (hey, Brad) that us European types are still waiting to be able to update.

Community for this game seems good so hopefully it won't be too long before its sorted. Any situation updates would be appreciated.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to our American Cousins.
