Reply to questions about bribing races to go to war. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Hi, If you caused war among races, they actually are really fighting. Now it depends if they are at the same time in war with others, if so than the "new war" will not become a more important priority to them...Even worse, the new war will maybe slow down the AIs ability of concentration.. Sometimes you can see fleets fly by each other without attacking, because it seems they are following an order, which might not change so quickly (same like in the army o

[quote who="Loupdinour" reply="21" id="2154943"] Quoting Neilo, reply 19 Given the dealings with Gamestop and tha massive amount of pirates using Demigod, i wonder if SD/GPG has a case for some legal action against them. The amount of pirates that had Demigod on and before release day is quite an amount. I'm not sure if it would be wise to just not have them as a distributor for the next game or future Demigod expansions. While mor

Reply to What are you doing while the Metaverse is broken? in Metaverse Stardock Forums

It loos like the retailer GameStop should indirectly be blamed for the whole mess caused on the servers at Stardock. No idea what was the role of the MV-server at this stage, borrowed or not, but its pretty nasty. Have a look at this link explaining the issues at the release of Demigod: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/04/demigod-hit-by-massive-p

Reply to Metaverse down? in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

True, critics does never improve anything, it looks like the server is strinking. Obviously new projects have priority (I would do the same with new games before releases) but there is no doubt the MV-server is going to be fixed soon. It is most likely a technical issue and not due to priorities or even. PS: the Metaverse became a vital part of the game and something says me we will be celebrating 10 years MV..[e digicons]:beer:[/e] . I certainly like ne

Reply to The Millionaire's Club in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Impressive, to say I must. Hats off guys it is good to see you have still plenty of activities out there. Still a great forum. May I come to seep a coffee in the Milionaire’s Club? Unfortunatelly I don’t think to get part of the club, I wish I could, but I’m more likely the one chasing challenge with quick games. Honestly a game above 1 mill needs plenty of time, patience and knowhow. I respect and envy that. Take care [e digicons]:moon:[/e]

Reply to Finally won on suicide…feedback in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Many thanks Cypher ! Yeah, I know very well Windstar's "Altarian Rebellion" AAR, one of the greatest out there and there is lots to learn from it indeed. I meant that the Altarian are become incredible strong every time in each game. I'm not sure if it's the same for all levels. The problem with the Altarians is that for some reason they do not research weapons early enough in the game, but they do research everything else incredibly quick... Take care

Finally won on suicide…feedback in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Folks, after a good and long time playn’ I finally beat the AI on suicide having fun without rushing it. I realized that it’s not possible without specialization (f.ex. “all-factory-planets”), dirty tricks, precise management and war buyings. One of my dirtiest trick was making an alliance in order to protect myself and later on breaking it for being able to win

Thanks Mumble, I'll give it a try next time :) For this purpose I am also thinking to borrow the machine "Columbia" from Nasa, which has about 20 Terabytes of RAM just to increase my score a little (it will be difficult to explain them the reason...)

Reply to what does allow ai to use cpu intensive algorithms mean? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Actually I'm also interested to know what is the exact impact of the intensive algorithms on different game levels. I remeber having switched it on once in DA, got pretty terrified of the AI's performance so I never touched this ever since. I mean, it's already spicy enough to jump to an upper level... However it would be interesting to know more about it in figures.

Too much difference between difficulty levels (last 3) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know if it has been said on the forum, but I find there is a too big gap between the last three difficulty levels. I mean to get from Masochistic to Obscene you face a 100% increase in AI's everything and another 100% for Suicidal. Man that's tough... It would be great to have something like two new difficulty levels between, each with a 50% increase to the next level. That would gain back my selfconfidence... ;)
