PayPal must be working differently in other countries then, because I've been using it for a little over six years now and never had a single issue.

I have not tested to see if it prevents the destruction of the port, (It should) if it does not.[/quote] Docked ships do prevent the destruction of the starport/starbase. The only problem is getting armed ships built before the enemy attacks. Especially if the Drengin are that enemy, because they start out with weapons. Even more so, if their starting location is right next to

This reduces the time required to m
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="5" id="3476315"]That's what I said![/quote] Not exactly. I probably should have explained it more clearly. In my idea, each galaxy would be an individual map. The content of each galaxy would be total content of the selected map-size divided by the amount of galaxies. So a Huge map with two galaxies would turn into two Medium-size maps, for example. The only question is, how would you get from one galaxy to the next? Both from a lore-s
[quote]Perhaps the "hypergates" could be used here? You have to drag one to the other galaxy and build one at a specific spot in your own in order to travel.[/quote] How though? Frogboy already explained that hyperdrive can't handle the gulf between galaxies , because there is no mass there. So you wouldn't be able to use it to transport the hypergate. Still, I'm not quite sure if adding mul
The Planetary Defense System currently provides a +50% Research-bonus and a +2 Adjacency-bonus to Military and Research improvements. However, neither the description of the Militarization tech nor of the improvement itself says anything about improved research. The Military Academy, from the Malevolent Ideology tree, only provides a +1 Adjacency-bonus to Military. However, Military Studies explicitly states, that it is about researching new ways to wage war. In my opinion, th

I just colonised a planet with the Desert Planet trait. During the colonisation I had the Research Pods event. Once that was over, I took a look at the manufacturing and noticed that the bonus from the Desert Planet shows up as Pods. The tooltip for Influence, however, doesn't show the
Agreed, that would be really helpful.

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="1" id="3475532"]Do you randomly pick a weapon and focus there or try to move all three up evenly?[/quote] For the above list, I simply took a look through the tech tree. For actual play, I prefer to focus on one weapon. However, this usually isn't the one I'm starting out with. In GalCiv 2, I either bought or researched the weapon type my enemy was using, and equipped my first ships with them. Shortly after war broke out, I upgraded my ships with m

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="3" id="3475505"] Gaunathor, this is great but what would help is if I hover over Orbital Manufacturing in the tool tip it would say "Unlocks Constructors".[/quote] Well, it already does. If you hover it, the tooltip says "Component: Constructor Module" under Unlocks.

In fact I could find NOTHING on our tech tree that says, enables the building of Constructors. [/quote] You need Orbital Manufacturing to unlock the Constructor module. It's one of the first techs in the Engineering tree. The Terrans and Iridiums start out with it.
I've noticed several Missing Info entries when looking at some Tooltips: 1. The bonus for Enhanced Production (fixed) 2. Influence bonus (This changed to Missing Info(2) once I've unlocked the first tier of the Benevolent ideology.)

They're selling indie and newer games too, and had several day 1 releases. Anyhow, I consider myself a loyal GOG-customer.

Stargates are a part of the backstory for GalCiv. They are no longer used, because hyperdrive made them obsolete. The primary reason for this is, that, unlike in other games and popular fiction, stargates in GalCiv do not work instantaneously. In fact, they are much slower than hyperdrive. However, there apparently exists a much more advanced stargate-variant called "hypergate". Based on a <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/app/226860/discussions/2/558751813543022668/#c558751813544247
