Reply to What options do YOU pick? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

to be fair, 'normal' difficulty is just to get you going and understand the game, but once you figured that out, it's not much of a challenge at all. the heart of the game is 'intelligent' i suppose, because it's an even level and full AI capability is used. i mostly play on tiny, small or medium maps, because i don't have too much time on my hands really. i turn off mega events, because even though they're called 'mega' for a reason, i find them a bit too extreme and offputting. i may

AI weak spots in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

performance compared to DA in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

hello there! first of all i must say that galactic civilisations 2 is the best game i ever played. thank you so much stardock. you brought me so many enjoyable hours. i bought the dark avatar expansion yesterday and it really adds to the whole experience, but the performance compared to galciv 2 is poor. it is still playable, but it isn't as perfectly smooth as galciv2. the weird thing is, the performance is the same, regardless of the lower performance options i chose. in other words,
