Not for me. Two games, same result after a while.

[quote who="cstorvold" reply="79" id="3587772"] Has AI fog of war cheat been fixed yet? [/quote] No. :(

I tried the Altarians around release, never had much luck with them, yet, they're always a formidable opponent when I play another race :) I'm curious Mottikhan, do you get better trading deals (money wise) with minors or majors? I usually only trade with major races myself, but thought of trying something else.

[quote who="marigoldran" reply="27" id="3587595"] Can someone test out the AI against a human player using Thalan Tech on an gigantic or larger map with abundant planets? Standard number of AI for given map size. [/quote] I tried something like that, but twice I hit the stuck turn bug and was unable to recuperate my game. I did not have "abundant planet". And I dislike the AI's omniscience right now. And also that tendancy of the AI to gro

[quote who="thedreamon" reply="4" id="3587633"] @ redviper37 Thank you so much for the guide. I noticed that i am a bit (just a little) impatient for this game. Because it could take hundreds of turns to achieve victory. I continued my terran game, i am just at turn 85 and i am secont at Civ power. I am going to start a new game

Despite assertion to the contrary, the AI is still omniscient. From the beginning of the game, it knows exactly where are the best planets to colonize, the best resources to mine. At genius level, at least (+2 level from normal). Given the AI and the game stuck huge problems I'm gonna stop playing until an interim patch.

Yes, I second that. Expansion and DLC should add techs please. Even better: free update with more techs! :P

But ı try 5 or 6 games at gifted difficulty and everytime i fail. Actually i didnt play to the end but it is obvious that i will lose. The thing is, i try with diffirent races with diffirent strategies. I tried with custom race quick coloniation, i was ahead of AI at population and ifluence but i lack

[quote who="Empress_Fujiko" reply="10" id="3587394"] Quoting redviper37, reply 5 The only "workaround" (not much of it, actually) I found was to reload from a really earlier save, somewhere around 10 turns at least. I tried to go back, but it didn't help. However, the oldest save was not v

I've uploaded a few more saves, ticket #CKJ-934-82211. AI behavior when at war with others seem weird. Say, the Altarians are at war to the Yor. My position is in the south west corner of the map. The Altarians are directly north of me and the Yor north of them. They have ships deep in my territory hunting pirates or just staying around my starbases while the Yor are pounding them to dust. Another one has the Yor and the Iconians at war, both their fle

Yeah, it's a known and annoying bug. I heard Stardock were working with Valve to fix it, it's been happenning since release.

I still have it with opt-in #2.

[quote who="wpkelley41" reply="6" id="3587199"] Redviper, do you build any labs on your specialized manufacturing worlds? [/quote] usually, yes, if I have room for them, 1 or 2 of them per planet, more for the research worlds. Eventually, as my empire size increses, I will remove labs from manufacturing worlds (where I have bonus) and put more labs on research world (less industries there). Then, once I have research all tech, I remove the labs and put somethin

[quote who="lyssailcor" reply="1" id="3586802"] Hmm ... I never saw a starbase culture flip in my games yet. Is that really possible? [/quote] only with the benevolent ideology perk that makes all starbases and planet in your zone of influence flip.

I think we should wait for 1.4, where there will be more details on what they envisionned to replace the wheel. I would have kept the wheel in 1.3, until it was totally sorted out, but well, what is done is done. Brad promised something better, so we should wait and see.

[quote quoting="post"] Hey folks, can a few of you share your strategy regarding your specialized industrial worlds? Specifically, what do you direct them to do when you don't need constructors, or ships at the moment? Obviously the science worlds go 100% research, and the econ worlds go 100% money. What is the most effective use of an industrial world, when not producing? If I don't build a ship, (to avoid the 'Idle Colony" message,) and I put the slider to 100% manufa

[quote quoting="post"] The 1.x version of GalCiv III continues to grow and thrive. In the next couple of months, we'll be starting to send out beta notices for the first expansion which is due out next year. There's going to be a lot of pretty fundamental changes to the game that we think you're going to like. If you have any requests in particular, feel free to post them here. Cheers!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="3586595"] Ok so if you think about why AIs are so bad in other games it's usually because they do things like SendShipToNEarestEnemyCity (or planet). So you get endless death trains of units just danging out at your empire. In GalCiv II, I would pick a primary enemy and then pick a primary sector to focus on. Now, I did all that procedural. The further the sector away, the less valuable it was. In fact, if something was out o

[quote quoting="post"] looking for feedback on the AI. Should be substantially better compared to 1.2 or 1.3 opt in 1. While 1.4 is going to mostly be about AI, we found a lot of low hanging fruit largely thanks to the saved games you guys have sent in and your posts. Thank you!
