Terror Star

from Stardock Forums
It can destroy entire systems? Now this is awesome! GalCiv's version of the StarWars Deathstar :) When I get the game, I am going to build one of these.

They do have their downside. They move very slowly, have next to no defense and are expensive.

Whats really neat is because you build them off of Star Bases they always act like starbases keep the things when you modified on them. You can build these terror stars with all of the cultural infulences bonuses(when add up you can get +400% percent or more... not sure). When you move them around planets nearby sometimes convert just becasue they will increase your infleunce so much in that region... it is neat to see all the planets surrender before the Terror Star gets close... guess they would rather join you then get blown up... hehe.

Most excellent! Now this is the kind of Terror Star I'm talkin' about! It would be an ultra cool random event to have an opportunity to destroy a terror star thru espionage.

For those who have played the game. I know you probably can't remember specifics, but about how many turns(months) into the game were you when the terror star became available?

It always depennds... there are always diffrent tech routes you can choose with so many choices. Sometimes I go for terror stars right away(can't remember the date, but I think somewhere around the time I started getting dreadnoughts as well...). If you look at JavaScotts tech tree(in the fan pages under the encylopedia) you can see the requirements.

Terror stars are really fun :)

It's not measured in months. The necessary techs to build a fully functional Terror Star are pretty far down the tech tree.

A quick question to anyone who ahs tried it, because I never have, but what happens if you turn a resource-based star base into a terror-star? Does it just leave the rsource unmined?

The resource goes with it, from what reports I've heard.
