They certainly sound like formidable fleets! the Ai in my game is focused so much more on defense than attack, and it's still the wrong defense! Perhaps you can alter your restrictions slightly. Limit your self to two fleets, instead of two ships. Perhaps make it two ships per fleet, split your long term ships up and give each a new brethren to fight along side?

[quote who="Rosco_P" reply="36" id="3083929"]I felt exactly the same way up until my glasses broke in half in my hands while cleaning them.[/quote] Ugh, i understand the frustration. I had one pair pop out a lens in a job interview and in a hurry to pick it back up and not look at all like a fool, i stepped on it. Broke the lens and didn't get the job.

The only way Lasers are getting anywhere near my eyes, is if im shooting lasers out of them!! I'll happily deal with glasses on my face then have my eyes lasered open and messed with. though i'm sure it's perfectly safe and all, my eyes are one thing im far to squeamish about to mess with. Contacts would be ok, if you could put them in and they lasted for months on end. I could poke myself in the eye a few times a year, not..what, twice a day?

WOW..an epic game to say the least! Sounds like you are playing this game with no set winning condition in mind and you are willing to allow the game to dictate the pace and direction. Interesting approach. Something akin to a continuous game more than a game started with intent to finish asap??? Or at least it kinds sounds that way to me, in any case i like that approach and may start a TA game with something similar in mind, an epic game that i will allow to flow as

[quote who="qrtxian" reply="9" id="3083568"]I can say that they probably won't be that strong, unless you do more then just give them colony ships.[/quote] I fully intend on gifting/trading every tech i have to them, except for the diplo techs, i'll even arm them to the teeth!

Reply to TA vs. DA in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

If you focus on researching tech early game, and get your diplo techs ASAP, you can start trading your high level tech for cash AND the AI's planets very early, March 1 even. The 3 Trade techs are very valuable, as are the Govt techs, entertainment techs, research techs and engine techs. Once you get a handful of planets, get your morale high and grow your population, build econ structures and then raise your taxes, though make sure to keep approval in the yellow. <

TA in this instance refers to Twilight of the Arnor, the third expansion of GC2. Though if your just randomly suggesting Total Annihilation forever...then best of luck with that good sir! [e digicons]:D[/e]

Reply to Help with water cooling? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Hey Pacov! Actually, the level of ocing i am doing and have been doing is and was quite achievable on air. I was using on my old rig the Thermaltake DuoOrb cooler, and had planned on migrating that to this new rig. (I won't get into the hassle i had finding a bracket that would work with both the lga 775 cooler and my new lga 1155 board, but i did) But the ram i bought, the heatsinks are too high (Corsair Vengeance with 75mm heatsinks) and the cooler wouldn't fit.

One...Two....One....Two..and half the time there is no difference anyway! I just picked my new ones up on Monday, Specsavers took 4 days, new lenses and frames, so i sure can't complain.

Okay, i'll keep coretemp up on the desktop and monitor it for a day or so and see if i can track any patterns, thanks. Jafo, if it was the layout of the piping, would the issue not have presented itself from the start? This has only been the last few days, and for about the previous month all was fine, though i certainly don't claim that's not the issue.

I still intended to keep posting here about our games, but i thought a general thread might engage some others to share their games...... Hopefully it picks up.

I'll be first cab off the rank. First some background, otherwise you may not understand why i am doing some weird things i am doing. For years i played exclusively on the Metaverse and almost always, for score. After those types of games killed the fun for me i stepped away from GC2 for a few years and only just came back to it just before xmas, but with the goal of playing odd types of games and caring not one iota about the end score. So, with that in mind...my current game (M

Id love to hear how everyone is approaching their current games. Doesn't matter if they are modded games or MV, just tell us your galaxy set up and how your going. It's always good to see how other people are playing and enjoying the game. It doesn't have to be an AAR but give us the jist of your game and what weird and wonderful things your doing in it!
