Random Tech Tree??? in Galactic Civilizations IV GalCiv4 Forums

Completely random tech research huh? Why in the world would you think this is a good idea? Early game tech focuses around building planetary improvements and maybe starting diplomatic research. Hulls and weapons come later, after you have the infrastructure (research and manufacturing buildings) to quickly research them. What good does do to have the ability to put weapons on a ship if it takes me 33 turns to produce it? Do I need the option to research kinetic weapons or shield

Reply to Space Ships and attacking. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ships only attack "things" in space...other ships and starbases. No, you can't just attack/target a planetary improvement. As you probably have guessed, the best way to go is with an attack force of fighters/battleships first, then a fleet of transports. The good thing about a fleet of transports is that you can attack with a huge army but you only "lose" the ships that the lost soldiers were from.

Refar07- You are a genius...or I am dense (maybe both). That's what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize that you had to click on the 'hard points' (red arrows) to add the extras. I was double clicking and trying to click the "place" button. It's working now. Thanks a lot my friend.

Dude, thanks for the reply. What I am trying to figure out is how to add "extras" though. I understand that you have to 'start from scratch', but when I make a "new" ship, I can only add engines, weapons, and defenses...no cosmetic stuff. When I go to the modification tab and select one it wont allow me to add it to my new, custom ship. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

Can anyone help me out with this? I have figured out most everything else...but I cant customize the appearance of my ships. I can build ships wiht hulls, weapons, defenses and modules... when I try to apply a customized look (like wings or antenas) it wont let me. Anyone experience this before, what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
