Thats pretty neat. Does the AI have access to all of the invasion tactics? If so, how does it deceide which to use, since there can be user-defined ones?

Reply to Can Galciv be MODed easily? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So Invasion tactics are images? When I think of invasion tactics, I think of how an AI will attack you....

Invasion tactics are moddable? Howso?

Are the files in the library gonna be included with the release version or bonus pack?

Maybe not improve, but modify, so for the B5 mods for instance, the races could be even more customized to act like their B5 counterparts.

Yea, not saying GalCiv needs to be more difficult, would just be an interesting exercise in game AI :)

Reply to Distributed computing and multithreaded ai in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

hehe, welll... you could get 2 p4 3ghz with hyperthreading ;) Although that doesn't really equal 4 processors :) Using other local machines would work too.

Reply to Distributed computing and multithreaded ai in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Heh, its possible.... and an interesting idea. I don't know how GalCiv is setup... but i think it has a limited number of things it does. So there is probably a max time limit it spends. That would be a very interesting twist to a strategy game. It wouldn't be very hard to program, to have it offload some processing to other machines. Course you could always go with a dual/quad processor box too.

A b5 mod would be great... but is the harcoded AI able to accuratly represent the factions? Like the Shadows? Guess all they would do is kill :) There used to be a game called Escape Velocity... that has great mods available for it... star wars, b5, star trek etc...

Reply to AI Interface in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

yea... that is a shame. Although, I could see a system where by a user only has access to certain c++ files, edits them... the system compiles and presents the user with an exectuable. Not good for the everyday person, but people who want to help develop in their free time. I am interested in how the metaverse works.... Is it just a form that the developers read and then take into account? or is the report generated by the game itself. A way we could mod the AI's would be a

Damn, I was gonna buy/download it today :(

Reply to Galciv disappeared from SD-central in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Thats a shame. So the beta is no longer up? I was thinking of buying it now and play the beta until release.

Reply to MOO 3...what the hell happened? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The biggest problem right now is there has been no response from QS about bugs. They have pretty much disappeared from the forums at least.

Reply to MOO 3...what the hell happened? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Im enjoying Moo3. Ive played the 2 previous and like this one too. It isn't perfect though, there are drawbacks in the research model and in the enemy AI. But overall Im liking it.

Reply to Galciv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Once Ive played moo3 into the ground, I'll definatly be getting the subscription and downloading the beta. Very nice policy.
