Reply to The post-Twilight road map in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Some of these seem pretty major to me and holding off any fixing, specially re: the tech trees, can't wait until early June. Some people on the msg boards are already getting frustrated by the lack of response from the ToA developer community on some of these threads and saying they are going to hold off on ToA. Again, with some major tech tree issues that have been brought up, I am trying to avoid the feeling that TOA is unfinished and unbalanced from that perspective. Just some

Reply to steep increase in the cost of technologies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

A game killer, yes. I also quit at this time. I finally managed to win my game through diplo victory, but it was not fun at all. I had all techno costs doubled a second time, and then other increases. Overall, for example, "Technology Victory" went from 33000 at the beginning to 200000 at the end of the game. I guess that it should have been 50000 by "inflation" (but even this "inflation" does not seem to be documented). In my game the doubling also happened when finish

All techs research cost doubled ? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Hi ! Playing TotA, I noticed that suddenly all techs research costs have doubled. One turn earlier, researching "Research Academies" would have costed 900+, and now it's 1800+. And the same happened to all technologies. I'm playing a custom race based on Altarians, on tough difficulty. Does this work as designed ? I haven't been playing for a long time, and I can't remember having seen that in earlier versions.

1. Can only trade tech you researched yourself. Best idea so far. You really shouldn't be able to acquire tech from others and whore it around. Yeah, it limits you, but due to the utter cheese factor some practical limitations need to exist. 2. Blueprints. Second best idea. Acquiring tech from someone else should not be full acquisition, rather a large amount of researc

Reply to Influence Starbase Questions in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, I'm not sure if their bonuses are supposed to be +x%s on planets in its range, or if the starbase itself generates (x) influence Yes some clarification on this would be welcome. Also : what exactly do the IP figures mean for a planet. For example : 21.3 IP (3.08) I understand the "Influence Point" figure, but

if you use this strategy, the game will become so easy that you will probably lose interest in it Yes I fully agree with that. This has almost already killed the game for me. Option to disable tech trading. </TR

Reply to Missing turn BUG? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think this one was carried over from galciv 1. I suspect it may work "as designed" to give a penalty to those who reload too often. You also get no production/research from the first turn after any game load. You can easily check that on the graphs. And some space anomalies will disappear.
