[quote who="Achronous" reply="6" id="3612468"] Just like in real life (from what we know so far) habitable planets are quite special. Non-habitable are much more, common. You can always change the,settings [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] I didn't know the dead worlds included planets like mercury and jupiter. After noticing those two planets, I finally understood the intention behind the label. But I believe it's bit too hasty to label them as dead worlds

If one want to see why retreat ability isn't generally part of the games, all one has to do is check out the tv series named Battlestar Galatica the new one, to see how unfun that would be. Its very very difficult to destroy ships that's unwilling to fight you if they have FTL capabilities. Cylons try to wipe the humans out but that tiny group of 60+ ships just retreated every single time the cylons engaged unless Cylons engaged them in very small numbers only then the humans fought.

Not an angry thread. Just asking questions. Cuz I just bought galciv3 today and managed to beat the tutorial after 5 hours of learning on the map. [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/9h6o3q.jpg[/IMG] I checked 7+ star systems which resulted in discovery of 10+ dead worlds and one of the star systems was completely empty on a large map size. Then my now confused colonizer got shot down by pirates after searching for a long while for a planet to colonize. W

I disregard Marigoldran claims cuz he don't play a map to suffer the fallout from his own exploits when Ai comes around to kill him. Because I bet he is defenseless so he quits a map before Ai sends their fleets to annex his worlds easily. And probably plays on doctored settings so that he can expand like a virus by making sure there is no neutral hostiles to annex his defenseless worlds by switching them off.

Number 6 is legitimate strategy in my eyes. However it should add an "You led pirates to our star systems!" negative modifier to the AI. Additionally it is the AI's fault for not having the shipyard defended in the first place and you was just fleeing for your life. To cue a moment from civ5 series, I had barbarians chasing my wounded units, and they was in large enough of a mass to make me keep on fleeing instead of trying to heal up and battle. And in the fog of w

Well, If I had a starbase orbiting planet Earth, I would expect it to rain death upon enemy ships deliberately ignoring the starbase in favor of invading my homeland. And I would want to see it blow up aliens that's coming to kill me otherwise I will rebel against the government to have one good last hurrah fun because I will be dead soon so it don't matter if I blow up a bunch of stuff for fun. Additionally it is demoralizing to watch a starbase be useless desp

*Galactic Senate Shenanigans: "It has come to our attention that use of Lasers III are degrading the galactic environment. Therefore anyone using those components will be facing economic sanctions... What, those are your main weaponry? What a COINCIDENCE! Now please disassemble your war fleet." I literally lol'd at that statement. So I like it.

1. What specific features of diplomacy do you traditionally like the most? I want you to be as specific as you can be. Which parts of diplomacy from any game do you like the most? What parts do you remember long after playing the most? All the hate directed at civ 5 is wrong. You just cannot be the village bicycle, aka friends with everyone. You have to learn how to get along with people, and know who is the local schemers. And who is just pretty down chill. If you star

Isn't Imperium Galactica 2 a empire building RTS? Anyways with that out of the way, I cannot deny being able to zoom down to the ground of your planets can be awesome for just to look around and admire your personally designed Palace.

Amen for Fortify command, I can say that function is very essential otherwise turns will become very tedious when AIs waste your time with pointless reports when you're hunting for important ones.
