Separate Research Rate Settings for Each Tree in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

I suggest that the initial game settings should have different research rate settings for each "tree" instead of one global research rate setting. The variable research rate setting was fun in GalCiv II. However, I feel that even more variation on gameplay can be achieved if the research rate for each type of research is varied. For example, if colonization technology researches very slow compared to other technologies, then we would see a game with fewer good/colonizab

Reusable Transports in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

A month after I got my roommate hooked on GalCiv2, he suggested a reusable transport module. A troop module that takes up a lot of space, costly, holds few troops, but can be reused so as to not build transports constantly.

TA 1.96.027 Weapon and Defense Tech Tree Analysis in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Tech trees are arranged by degree of similarity. (Iconian and Yor tend to go together at the end, Altarian and Drath together, Drengin and Korath together) <span styl
