Reply to Can not Save Game... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Free i'm running on the same system, v1.96. I never came up with a message like that during a save but i could help with this matter. have you done any recent modding or any updating? Because that message is to do with the application file/the hard coding. it's not complete or it's been corrupted by something. the only thing that i can think of would be to reinstall the entire file. delete all recent updates and install the disc copy of the game. if a moderator or someone with

Reply to Banned from a thread! in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I somewhat agree with you KzintiPatriarch. Banning should be a last resort in an arguement, but I don't believe some minor issues or disagreements should carry the ban at all. Either way Zyxpsilon come join us on the kzinti thread, that's if it's alright with you Kzin. We maybe be a bunch of hungery, barbarian, war-mongering, flesh eating cats but we are nice once you get to know us. I noticed the tyranny still doesn't take a liking to the kzinti empire either, talk about show

We can't import from america so much anymore coz the prices are to high. so we are searching in different countries to find business partners who can sustain their business. we are mostly looking in the disadvantaged countries to sell to coz they can't afford all of their imports anymore, so business is rocky all over the world. Guess it goes to show how much this world has become dependant on america. I wouldn't be suprised to see the world unite under the american flag if earth ev

well some races have their own weapon tech tree's (the iconian kenetic beam weapons as an example). maybe that can be expanded so all races have their own military path to follow. now that would require alot of strategic planning.

you thinking what i'm thinking kryo? I think we are. We both wanna go get some food after this. (sorry, it's dinner time and i'm hungry) But yeah, back on subject, my bets are on too many weapons in the one place, so many layers in top of eachother that the screen just can't show them properly. have you thought about maybe spreading them out a fraction? or even having more than one firing point? if not this post has given me an idea as to a solution to this problem and you can wait ti

I guess cost depends on whether you want to pump ships out faster or not. it may not seem like much in the short term but think about it. A ship with mass drivers might take 2 weeks to build, A ship with missiles might take 3 weeks to build, In the short term there isn't much difference and it's considered irrelivant. But in the long run under the same conditions 10 weeks in the future, you could produce 5 mass driver ships compared to only 3 missile ships with a 4th

In my last game I put that to the test. I took over a homework with 2 tandard transports. both carried 1000 people. I had 2000mil people up againest rough 16000mil, I did this 3 or 4 times through out the game and 1/4 times it suceeded. I used different methods of invasion. surprisingly mass driver lost and information warfare won, micro soldiers also lost along with Tidal disruption. When I used info warfare I managed to get 3000-4000 people on my side. I had their entire empire unde

I agree, Modding the tech tree to balance he weapons in your theory would take away from strategic value and take aay from stratage. there are reasons why lasers are cheaper and missiles are more expensive, why mass drivers take a long time to research. Did you notice missile probably cost the most to put on a hull, therefor your ships would be more expensive to build. same with the defence expensive. Mass driver is cheap to add to a hull, making the ship cheaper. laser is easy to r

I find a nice even combination of all weapons and defences is a good way to repel most enemies. Then later on design a specific vessel to counter your enemies weapons and defences.

[quote]2. I find that defending my colonys with ships in orbit is a waste of time (playing on masochistic or below). Does anyone really spend a lot of resources defending colonys?[/quote] I don't defend my planets in the traditional sense. to stop troop ships, which is all you really need to be careful of, just place an empty hull on a planet. then use your battle groups to destroy approaching vessels. Simple.
