Help me out - trade ships, allegiance, broadcast centers in Strategy Sins Forums

Can trade ships traverse worm-holes? If so, are there prerequisites? I started a single-player game on a map where each solar system is connected only by wormholes. In my second solar system, my colonies all have low allegiance. 1) How do I effectively use broadcast centers? 2) Does this culture spread across worm-holes? 3) Is there a better way to keep allegiance up?

Unbelievably overpowered Pirates in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm doing OK in a a new game, up to medium scale building. I'm average in military strength. I get a random event - "Pirates! ...etc, etc." A few turns later, I get another message - "Pirates have Ascension, etc, etc. Won't share with other races". The problem? Pirate fleets are now RIDICULOUSLY overpowered. With my "average" military I had a few fleets with missile attack / defense 6. Pirate fleets now have around 570 missile attack / defense. <br/

Anyone have a good list of descriptive planet names? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, I'm wondering how you guys name your planets. When I started out, I tended to just keep the star-basesd name for most of my colonies. This looks decent, but in bigger maps it got anoying have to constantly recheck the colony screen of Skowbo II to find out just what I was building on it. So I got a brilliant idea Give the planets descriptive names. So from then on, I wo

Reply to Morale Bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

This morale issue does not happen every game, but it has happened more than once. I loaded up a saved game where this bug is occuring. Took one turn. A good number of my colonies flipped and formed a neutral race on this turn. Quit, and grabbed the debug.err file Posting debug.err Debug Message: Version v1.4x last updated on: Mon Oct 23 17:43:56 2006 Debug Message: GalCiv2 is activated. Debug Message: Checking DX Version.

Morale Bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hello, I seem to be getting a strange morale bug. Fairly early in the game, all of a sudden my home planet has an approval rating of 1%. Note that taxes aren't that high, I have the dominant influence in this sector and there's nothing that I see that should be getting me this crazy low morale. When I mouse over the morale on the planet, I see: Morale: 1% -10% from Population -36% from Taxes +17% from buildings on Planet +- (NOTE PLUS NEGATIVE
