Slo I think ur choice of galaxy size is wrong for what u want, a challanging game right? Try from large to bigger and u'll see the difference, the other civs has more room to develope and get a lot more aggressive, trust me ! :) ~SDC~
I dont know who to report to directly so I'll post it here, hope its ok. When u get the screen asking about the exchange of Technology between races, if u choose 8, the game will crash, I havent tried the other 3 options which are I think 4, 2, and 0 Hope this helps the programmers, enough to say we couldnt be more gratefull for the support they give us. Thanks guys !! ~SDC~
[quote]An alternative is to culture bomb them to submission. Even as Maso, the AI does not know how to defend itself adequately against such an offensive.[/quote] Ray I played 2 games on "bright" and no amount of culture (palace)starbases did anything to the enemy, wonder about ur quote. Fair to say that on 2 other games I did win this way. By the way, tnx, Ray for ur advise on how to win without an army, I use it a my "bible" to play this game, matter of fact, had it on the shelve
Beautiful one day, Perfect the next, so they say I'm from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia ~SDC~
Dark Assassin Who is Brad? and where can I find his example of gameplay? Tnx Bernie ~SDC~
What is this xpac, Ray? Do we have to buy it here or in a store? ~SDC~
[quote]eventually just cost of them will start to eat into their economy and you dont have to worry about building his military[/quote] Mikeydsc I tried ur strategy for hours, about 4 or 5 I think and it DOESN'T work, I send roughly between 1500 to 2000 scouts to the domineering AI and it didnt even scratch him, of course I could see those little buggers all over the galaxy but as far as "eat into the economy" I dont think so, mate! ~SDC~
Excellent idea, I'll try it out ~SDC~
No wonder Tnx Ray ~SDC~
Following one of the Pro guides I'v been able to get furthur than before (sic) When I try to ask one of the AI empires to go to war with another, the option is not there, it only gives me the option to ask him to go to war with one of the minors, anybody knows why I cant ask them to go to war with another AI, ex. I wanted to ask the Drengins to attack the Arceans but no option for that. Anybody knows pls?
Noted Berserk74, tnx for the tip
Got it Ray tnx Certainly one of my first mistakes has been to approach this game like I use to play BOTF, I'v been "burning my eyelids" for the past 48 hours trying to read what u pros write here trying to help newbies like me and I can say that I'm totally wrong, u cant match the IA here like u can the Donkey IA in BOTF. One thing I'm not doing is trade, at all and most of u say it is imperative, so I will take another approach from now on. Cant thank u guys enough !!
Tnx Wild Wombat ever heard of desperation?? :)
How do u know this Ray?
I read u guys talking about overpopulated planets, how do u know this? Is there a formula that will tell u how many people can a planet hold? Certainly reading what Ray the Wanderer answers here, u can tell he knows what the problem is that affects f18fett but how can one tell playing the game? Only by looking at the moral indicator? dont think so
Anybody living on the Gold Coast in Australia would like to trade GalCiv strategy for Chess Strategy?
I trade chess lesson for GalCiv lessons, any takers?
Theoden I am amazed to read ur opening moves, u dont get attacked?? I'v done almost the same as u on a much lower level and other civs get systems around mines, what happens after that is my systems get a red faced simbol which means they are turning over or I get attacked very quickly. I'v read somewhere in this forum that when other Civs see that u have a weak military or none at all, they start asking u for money, it is true for me, it isnt for u?? do u pay tribute??
Yes bakka, tnx for answering, after following on recomendation by Ray the wanderer, I visited JavaScouts and there it was, now I know a lot more about the tech tree, which it doent mean I know much about the game :) but I'll get there, somehow!!
Thanks Ray the Wanderer for ur help by the way the link on note 4 doesnt work :) but the one in Javascout's is excellent.
I need HELP!! and lots of it, I just cant get the hang of this game. What discourages me most of all is the tech tree. Example, it says that Weapons Theory>Phasers>Energy Channeling>InterStellar Tactics and now Battleship Technology right?....Wrong!! I get to InterStellar Tactics and after I get it Battleship Technology is nowhere to be found, what Am I doing wrong?? Help Please !!
I just started playing this game and I really need the Tech Tree for the expansion pack version, can anybody help me pls?
