If not, it seems to me the player will be forced to build starports everywhere to avoid sending money down the drain. Unless unspent military BC go back to treasury.

Reply to Move ship production into orbital space in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

do not understand why designers cannot escape from this planet-bound notion that ships must be built in or around a planet. This is probably like saying, every state has a car factory or a tank factory or an airplane factory. Not quite the same thing: you can travel in the various states without a car or without a plane.

1hp damage for going over rated speed by 1 Silly question but how you determine this? about the maximal allowed speed for the ships? about the number of movements made this turn by the ships?

Reply to Terrain in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

AngleWyrm: looks interetsing, but don't forget two important things: - it mustn't be a too important burden for the player - the AI must be able to correctly handle it. And even if it is presented as an option for the player, the AI must still be able to correctly handle it in order to compete with players that decide to use this option.

Reply to 2 Ideas from MoO 3 that Should be Incorporated in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

As for the multiple research projects, I am for it. In GC1 I used a lot of time managing my research output, especially in the early and late game, where the cost of each tech needed differed a lot. If the limit of max one tech/turn is removed, excess research is applied to the next project, and research projects can be queued, I can live with

all im sayin is it might be a cool game element Perhaps. But need to be tweaked to ensure it isn't too powerful: Moo1 has stargate in in tech tree. Coupled with the fact that ships can only move from one star to another, this means that if all of your stars where equipped with stargate, you could move all your fleet to the star that will be attacked b

Reply to Lack of empire overview?? in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

Firstly: I enjoyed GC1/AP, but I think the game was flawed by it's scope/UI. One of the main drawbacks of GC1/AP is IMHO the lack of empire overview. Have you tried the F9 Key in GC1/AP?

except for alt-tab which crash Are you in fullscreen mode? Because ALT+TAB isn't supposed to work on fullscreen mode.

Also, why would it affect only attempts to attack a planet? As I said earlier, I could sent my ship to any side of the planet I was trying to attack but I could not attack the planet. Maybe because the planet isn't your influence zone (on the planet location, the planet has a greater influence than your, but not on surrou

Reply to One bug and a few thoughts in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well, don't forget that all suggestions made on planetary managament must take in account the fact that it should work when you own 20 or 40 planets even 100 (can happen in galciv I on gigantic galaxy, especillay if you go for a military without star destruction). It shouldn't become a micro-management nightmare. It should have a fun value since the game isn't targeted (unless I have missed something) at die-hard strategy fans. And the AI must be able to han

I recall seeing an option while setting up a new game to disable minor civs on start , which if i understand it correctly will have the new galaxy created with just major civs, and the minor civs will only appear as rare random events.this should in turn allow you to build up a nice big empire and take the good systems so that you can handle the minor civs before the minor civs take to the stars (if you even get one of the random events th

[quote]Are minor civs AI always set to normal?[/quote] I think that minor civ AI are always set to normal. Only the setting of the major AIs can be changed. See the minor AIs as a training ground against major AI. If you are able to deal with them and be the leader of the Galaxy, that means that you have understand some impportant games mechanisms that will allow you fight against moore intelligent major AI, since they know how to play the game and you are learning.
