Which method do you like best? I have posted this message in the forum as well but among council members, which way is most attractive way to win the game? I had never experienced tech vic since it becomes quite time consuming at the end.. BTW, even at painful level (highest I have tried), it seems the initial position determines the result of the game. If yours is good, the game is not challenging and you will easily win. Isnt this a little bit of a problem fo

Congrat Geez Welcome to the club====gamer with kid(s)!! Ray WElcome back I think if we do not play game for only conquering the metaverse, to have a small part in metaverse is not a bad idea at all (we dont have to be the first)

Which way do you prefer to win? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

or find it easy for you to win? For me alliance vic was easiest, followed by cultural and then military I have never won tech vic..It took forever for me and usually I gave up in the middle for the other option. How could I win tech?(any help?) I went as high as galactic creation but it say 99 more turns for that tech arggghhhhhh Is it usually the case and you guys push 99 enters to win tech ? (maybe I did not have enough starbase with research module?)

I have first tried my painful/mid sized game. Uhhhhh I manged to survive at the end against red guys but finally crushed.. I think for galciv, initial position is the most important factor for wins and urges people to use Ctrl N alot. However even with Ctrl N, i was crushed..no exceuse Any adivice for painful game would be welcome! :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :D

Reply to So, was Space Empires IV any good? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

For me it felt more like a bunch of spread sheet rather than a game. It is deep, immensive but well..it depends on your preference. If you like micromanagement and ship design a lot, you will like it But even in small galaxy it takes much longer to finish (not necessarily a good thing) Galciv is simpler and not as deep as SE IV. But for me, at least galciv felt like a game and much more interesting. Especially, as somebody posted at gamefaqs forum, galciv is a game not

Dear Ray and Councial Members Thank you for accepting me as a white council member! I am not that good but this game really makes me try harder to win. Hope to learn a lot from here. From Seoul (temporariliy in Edmonton Canada) Bostonrpgmania (who with a 4 year old kid it is really hard to find enough time for this game!)

One more question When I am trading with minor or major, if they are willing to pay 80% of the research cost, is it regarded as a good deal in the AI? (I have read that AI values their tech a lot, downweighing others)

challenging level--early strategy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi all Now I am moving into challenging level. After 30turns (wehre i produce several colony ships), and after succesfully colonizing 4 planets, I have noticed that all other civilization researched at least 5-7 more techs than I do and I am ranked number 6. Any suggestin for early strategy would be welcome (spending ratio etc) Just one more question----at the early stage of colony ship rush, how many you think are suitable? And if there are remaning colony ships after colon

please explain my metaverse score in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi I am gradually making progress and yester day (at beginner level) I made my first military victory and I was surprised that it scored 1285 or something My overall score at metaverse is 5 hundred something. How metaverse score is calculated and why 1285 is discounted more than a half? Thank you
