if you create another, not cyborg-style race, it will have less tech. I think this is fair . But my custom race, the Umbreal Sentience, IS a mechanical race! The Sentience was formed by a space probe that had a learning AI.
It's not just resourses. Entire star Systems are showing up in the FoW for no apparent reason...
For some reason, the Yor, the Thalens, and the Iconians have more techs than they should. If you try to make a costom race with the same techs as the Yor, you get Ion Drive and predessesor techs. Then you run out of tech points. the Yor apparently, do not. This seems to be a major unbalencing of the start. Can someone either explain or fix this?
Those hard point flippers are a great Idea. Three cheers to whoever came up with it!
I wouldnt mind some sort of "spoils of war" pact either, to replace the current war-pact thingy. This would allow each side to specify which planets/starbases it wants to capture or destroy of the target civilization, as this would add a lot to the strategic terms of a the pact. I.e you'd know what your ally was going to be after, so you could go after the spoils you want.
Well, other then insuring the continued protection from the protectorete. They can't save you if they're dead.
I tink i see where you're coming from. In the old Gal-Civ, all the tech lines had requierments from other lines. Made for some-what confusing tech tree, but the connections made good sense.
You think you have bad luck? I only managed to download Beta 5 last week! (stupid 27 kpbs connection, grumble grumble) Not only that, but the game keeps crashing on me! There's no way I'll get in the gamma.
It seems to me that "space mines", although a cool idea, are really limited to a tactical role. This being a game of galactic stratagy, any mines should be limited to pure defensive use.
Where would the slider fit in the negotion screen?
You can even have 1 v 1 ship combat.
It would be nice to actively threated your enemys however...
Was there a reason for taking 1-3 out? I wouldn't mind settling on a class 1-3 planet just to throw down a few extra labs or something. I could see us putting a research station on mercury in the future, for example. It wouldn't be a thriving colony, but it would be something to cut down on the useless planets. I think the reason for removing 1
I have ALWAYS thought that if a minor race surpasses a mjor race, then the minor race would bump out the major, and change into a major. The surpassed major would then become a minor race. In short, the Top Ten races would major, with all the implications, like culture, and the rest would be minor. Including you. Yes, under this system, you might be bumped down to minor level. The effects of that? First, you would lose your place in the UP. Second, you would lose several diplo options
Also, my first save spot (usually considered game 0) crashes to the desktop anytime I try to load it. All other saves function normally, but game 0 is useless because of that bug. Consider Double-Saving your games, in any game, because of exactly this bug, ad others. I once had a corrupered save in "Evil Genius" (Great Game, btw). I just loade
One complain I've had since GalCiv 1 is the way your ships are auto maticly Numbered. I always thought that if I was building war ships, I would number them sequentially, not randomly. and with letters. So instead of the first ship being "Defender 312" it would "Defender A-00" And a similar System for starbases, but numbered galacticly, so if you were the 3rd civ to make a starbase, it would be named "Starbase 3"
earth's day is very slowly (...) extending until it becomes tide locked with the moon, and the moon is already tide locked with the earth. Huh? How can the moon be tide locked to the earth, but the earth NOT be tidelocked to the moon. PLz explain.
I have found that morale is always WORSE on my homeplanet. What's up with that?
Some I would REALLY like for the minimap is the ability to rotate it. I will often play from an angle different than the minimap, IE not looking North always, and i like the MiniMap to be closer to my main view. (even if i can only rotate in 90 degree increments.)
Bump, Can there PLEASE be a rewite for this super uber great game, even if it's not finished yet?
Yes this work around seems to work, but I hope that this will be fixed soon
Of coures we are in Beta 4D now, and a supposed 3 months till the game ships. I hope female make it in soon, before it's too late to code for it.
When I make a custom race and get back to the overview of races,I select my custom, and there's a big blank area that has one sentence: "please write a desripcion for me!" How do I write that descripion?
Shouldn't there be some difference in the desisions?
Mabey it could calulate the attack to defense ratio of a ship, and determine how to do the most damage with the least losses. 'corse, any AI upgrades go for your ship too!
