Reply to What tactical battles SHOULDNT be. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

just because a game is RTS doesnt mean that it is a hack in the tactical department .... perfect example is the total war series. that is a slow rts ... if it comes down you the speed of your mouseclicks and scrolling around the map then you are in the hurt locker anyways (for that game at least) for tactical battles to be implemented it has to be done right .... but at heart galciv2 is a strat game, not a tac game ps i like the idea of a tac add on ... hell mebey even contract

Reply to 1.2 Beta 2 -> Bugs in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

would like to comment on the "upgrading multiple ships bug" ..... when you upgrade using the upgrade all ships of this class box you are only charged for 1 ship but all the ships in the same class are upgraded ... btw i always use the cash option rather than the contractor option (if that makes any difference to you guys) .... my last upgrade cost 6700bc per ship and i upgraded 4 ships, but only cost me the 6700bc rather than 26800bc i would like to add nice work on 1.2 .... been play

Reply to Decline without falling in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think that there should be a chance that when an empire colapses, it spawns pirates which would be the rogue leaders of the doomed race's military. that would be fun. They could also occur frequently in war zones, giving a nice "I just destabilized the galaxy" feel. that sounds like a fun idea big jim

i dont think it is ballenced at all, nutrallity has all the trump cards and good just plain old suxors, evils not bad, but good sux. The only advantage that good has is with diplomacy with other good guys, but nothing that neutral cant do (especially with the extra trade routes that you get)

Reply to Idea: First strike, fast and slow weapons in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i would like to see some options for space combat much the same as their is for ground combat, but at the moment i dont have any real problems with space combat as it is now i dont want tac combat .... and these are my reasons ok well i do want it, who wouldnt, if it was done right, BUT, i dont think it would really add that much to the game and the time spent doing the programming would be better spent on other facets of the game and of corse the big one, can/wo

Reply to Star-base Defenses: Do they make any sense? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i find starbase defences to be a massive waste of money. to get some kind of real defence the outlay in money, time and production is far to prohibitive, esspecially when some chump fleet worth a pinch of the resources that you have pumped into your starbase smashes the hell out of your starbase ..... use your resources better and build more ships (i like the idea of having a stockpile of constructors to quickly replace destroyed starbases)

Reply to Diplomacy + Spin Control Centre = Cheap? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

This time, I went with +50 diplomacy, +20 research/economics, and Populist (+20 morale/diplomacy). This meant that I started the game with +70 diplomacy... you specilise your civ that much in diplomacy and wonder why every civ does whatever you say? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-

Reply to Are defenses simply to expensive? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i agree with the offencive guys. If i build my fleets with a bias towards attack, then "I" have the tactical advantage by deciding when where and who i attack ..... if i turtle up and build defencive ships then i lose many tactical choises and am resigned to defence without my offence

Reply to Totally new to this kind of game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

personally im not really into rts, im more of a fps kinda guy ..... anyways, this is a way diferent pace .. a nice big juicy map can take up to a week to finish or shortish? on small maps? (i dont play small maps so i dont really know) and requires a different kind of concentration (its good to be able to leave the computer) the game was much cheeper than an ordinary game from where i got it from (2/3 the price) and i rate it highly as a deepthinking slow turn based strat

Reply to Fighters and carriers in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I dont see what is the problem with the concept of fighters in the game? It can just be used as another weapon and added into the teck tree (cant be that hard ... the teck tree is pretty streightforward ... though long, just the balencing and cost issues) and add in another defence to use against fighters i see fighters as just another weapon system, not a radical depart from the game .... and would be a welcome addition to the game

Reply to Does resource mining unbalance the game? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

i like to be able to make the game more of what i want to play, the type and pace of game that I want to play. I like to be ABLE to turn teck trading off, to be ABLE to turn minor races off, to be ABLE to turn off resorces seems to me a reasonable request .... more freedom to the player "I" find half the fun of this game is in the journey, to tell you the truth, I think winning isnt everything in this game, but having fun with some of the game mechanics in teh journey of my civ <br

Reply to Research, Production and Economy formulas in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

so for clarification purposes? all bonuses for a specific bonus (ie economics, military production, ect) are an "addition" to each other rather than a "multiplication" then this figgure is "multiplied" by your tax rate setting (the .5 for 50%) then the figgure is "multiplied" by 34.5 (or so?) what is this figgure? a randome figgure that the math told you? ... im thinking that it could be a difficulty modifier mebey? btw nice work, and bring on the social military calcs also
