A little thing I do in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Over the several games I've played, I find that my troop transports zip by undefended star bases and troop transports. However, I can never blow them up. So, I started arming my troop transports with the most basic weapon possible (this is especially easy late game or with a robust economy/tech). When transports are running around with 15+ movement, I can zip in, kill 5000 undefended troops, and zip out, and very rarely do I have to divert my combat vessels (who move slower due to lots of weapon

Reply to Racial Picks Remain for AI? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed this too, and I'm not sure if it's coincidence or not that the race i previously was became the galactic dominator over the other AI's. Since i think it alters them, I'll select the one I was, clear it, save it, then delete the "custom" version of it. That brings it back to its original settings.

Reply to Asteroid strikes and PQ in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

It's probably totally random. I've seen it like 5 times, and it's destroyed useless PQ 0's. But Isothewise might be the unlucky one who just happened to have the numbers stack against him.

They break treaty, you pay for it in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I was playing a game where I had both economic and research treaties with the Altarians, who were dominating the game at this point. Their military owned mine, and they decided to declare war on me.

Didn't receive credit for "Tough" win in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I played and won a game on Challenging, and the pie wheel that shows wins by difficulty gave me credit for the Challenging win. I just won on Tough, posted the game to the Metaverse, and I didn't receive credit for a Tough win. Does it take time to update this, or is there something else at work here?

Reply to Your ideas for the next update! in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I have one quick and fairly simple change. When customizing your galaxy, you can choose the frequency of stars, planets, etc. There should be a bar that decides frequency of galactic resources, the economy, military, morale ones you build star bases on. That would really add yet another level of customization to an already awesome game.
