I'm having this problem as well, even in a newly started game. Please fix soon, because it really ruins larger maps.

Thank you for all the updates Frogboy!!!!!! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thank you so much for all of the update Frogboy. Thanks to the rest of the GalCiv team as well. I love this game! And I love how you all are constantly changing and updating the game, constantly striving to make it better. And it warmed my heart to see it being sold in the local Media Play. Congratulations on your success! Don't let the abusers in the forums get you down. Forums seem to attract the worst kinds of people sometimes. The vast majority of your customers are too busy

Reply to "recession" ruined my game in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

You have to adapt. Adapting to situations is a big part of GalCiv. First remember that the AI is going through the same thing that you are going through. Secondly, much like in a real recession you have to make some cutbacks. You will probably have to scrap or sell off a large chunk of your fleet. You may even have to scrap a few social projects.

I think people should try out their "exploits" on Normal or Intelligent levels before posting them. The AI will fall for stupid tricks on subnormal intelligence because the AI is, well, at subnormal intelligence. I think subnormal is meant for people to pick up the game basics without being decimated in 50 turns and for people who are not experienced 4X players. Think about a 9 or 10 year old playing a 4X game for the first time.

I think it was an awesome move to get an ad in that "other" space strategy game. That's how I found out about GalCiv. When I became, ahem, frustrated with that other game I looked to GalCiv for my space 4X fix.
