Finally got the malevolent tree acheesement. Got a good start on a ludicrous sized map, with mu opponents far enough away I had ships before they started the mass spamming of transports. Kinda liked the Yor, and the build your population in the queue method.
I am going with it was a corrosive world and I missed it. I had the Drengin as my allies (I _SERIOUSLY_ suck at this game apparently) to try and get the acheesement for getting all of the Malevolent ideological tree stuff...

I forgot to mention what version I am playing. I am playing version 2.8, which I think is Crusades. I have Mercenary ships available, and I think the Crusade campaign... So I am playing with Citizens (which I hear is the big change)...
Hello everyone! It has probably been about 2-3 years since I was playing GalCiv in any form, and apparently I have completely forgotten how to play the game. I have been scouring the forums to try and figure out what I have managed to do dead wrong in every game I have tried of late. I have been trying for upwards of a month now to manage to beat a game with 2 opponents in an Immense Tight Cluster galaxy. I am playing as the Torians (I am trying to get the achievem
