Uh, from my personal experience, I usually build tiny ships with 0 attack and 0 defense equipped with those fleet +x% addons. They never get shot at first.

Reply to Starting place in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Ctrl+N is basically saying "I accept that the computers will have the disadvantage of not controlling where they start and therefore not really playing the game for it's full complexities". "Cheating" to make the game simpler doesn't get you anywhere :-\. It's like restarting a game because you want more powerful tile boosts on your homeland. Some people say "it's a game, it's about having fun". Well I don't understand how people have fun playing a strategy game when they c

Reply to Tips for beating Suicidal in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Winning diplomacy and cultural victories with humans is just too easy on suicidal. I'm turned those victory conditions off because it makes the game a sad experience. Nice of you to post tips, but I don't think anyone can't figure those out by themselves on their first game :-\.

1/ I get the same results all the time too. 2/ I sometimes get a planet that does like my capital, but usually other capitals that I conquer through influence(and have 16bil pop) are happier than my capital :-\ 3/ No clue what you mean. I play terran a lot.

Reply to Terror Stars - Useful??? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]They are good if you want a devastating opening against an ally (or close/friendly player) just build some terror stars next to their suns and in the first week they are blasted out of the universe The best betrayal ever.[/quote] Exactly. In medium sized maps and less its devastating. I was allied with the Drengin, but he eventually took everyone out and I had no means to take him on in a battle. He was about to get a technological victory (I could've before him, but I decided

Reply to Best AI of all times - why, oh why?! in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I have to admit that I am disappointed myself. I purchased this game because I read great reviews about it and it's supposedly amazing AI ... but I recently started playing on Suicidal ... it's really easy if you're just trying to win. It's like I have to give myself extra goals to accomplish during a game to have any challenge. I do very much hate when a poor AI is compensated by non-player bonuses. If only there was a satisfaction warranty :P. If Stardock would be activel

Reply to Race Dialogues Update on the X3GC2 Mod in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Not to ruin your fun, but you do realize that the universal translator means it translates any language. Meaning that the output would be done with good grammar... These touches you do to make your races more unique just doesn't make sense because of the universal translator.

Reply to Major Unanswered question ? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I was wondering myself why they did nothing but hang-out during the campaigns. I'm guessing we are supposed to get more info in a later expansion/galciv3.

Reply to New slider needed in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I think the term military was just vaguely used to mean any spaceship, as freighters and such are in the same category. Seeing it as a spaceship group rather than military makes the current system logical.

Reply to EULA rejection in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Well the point thats made here is that you never actually bought the game :-\. You bought the license for it. The game itself is free to download, but it's not freeware. Quite f* up really. I personally agree with you and dislike this form of sale. Although I really like galciv2 (and expansions), I will most likely never buy a Stardock product again. (Although that decision is also based on other factors like poor quality programming and support)

That would be fun, but I'd be sad if I saw that get added and not some of the major issues :P.

Reply to New slider needed in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I could see the use of a slider for deciding between 0-50% of the social prod to micro manage your income, but the limit at 50% is there for a reason. Else whats the point of having any military production at all?

Reply to most evil races not expanding in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

You were playing on challenging. The issues were reported on high difficulty levels with larger than medium galaxies. Therefore the issue would be in the AI on high level difficulty when it comes to big galaxies.

But who's the consumer? Their black market is axed towards other races, not themselves. Thus it fits in trading.

Reply to Just upgraded DL - few n00b Qs in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Cry and hope you'll wake up to a game that you didn't pay to be a beta tester for :-\. On a serious note, you're probably better off loading an auto-save or previous auto-save.

Constant crashes in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

My game crashes about 3 times per game on average. It gets really irritating at times... Is there a way to reduce these crashes? I feel like I'm playing a game coded with no exception handling.

Reply to Just upgraded DL - few n00b Qs in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Usually pressing space through your fleets will solve it. Saving and rebooting the game (and then loading the save game) worked for me the first time. Its usually an issue with the autopilot.

I guess if you play the same style over and over, you can start predicting these events and incorporating them in your strategy :P.

Reply to Thing that bugs me about Korx in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Actually I find it quite logical that a trade civ wouldn't tax their population a lot. If we look at our history, any city that was flourishing due to trade would have very low taxes and citizens would live very easy lives. This applies/d to cities all over the world from many different cultures too. As for the entertainment possibilities, well I guess Brad designed them like that either to balance to race or because he thought of the race as one where they would constantly be busin

[quote]I'd say it has to do with your playing style. In my last game I encountered several events that all can be linked to my style of playing:-Jagged Knife occurred after a long time of relative peace in my galaxy.-Sudden extreme influence boost to another race occurred when I was busy constructing influence bases and pursuing the influence-track of the tech tree most of the time.-Precursor ranger popped up after a number of abrupt war/peace alternations.Some of the events might be truly rando

Reply to Extreme world colonialization in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I tested with Korath spore ships and my production was 1 (both military and social). I guess I had other bonuses that came from different sources that weren't affected by the world type. My bad.
