Reply to General Strategy Hints? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you buy the colony ships don't you get the people on board as well? Do you think people would really like being sold like cattle? I agree that yes this is a beta and I would like to hear some more cheese tactics so we can fix them. At the same time if we want to balance the game the best we can we have to make sure you can win the game with out being cheesy.

I think you might want to not buy colony ships from the alien races that's just plain cheesy, I can insure you that you will not be able to do this in the final build :-) Same with you guys camping by the resources and enemy planets, eventually (we hope) the AI will get a bit pissed off and may start attacking you these those actions. I recommend playing the game the way it should be played and that's not by using cheese tactics and fining loop holes in the AI. The only one your fool

Gameplay, balance, etc in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you guys have any suggestions, about what tweaks we can make to balance the game out and of course enhance the experience, post them in here. Example, "I think the Starbases should have more hitpoints, because bla bla bla" Thanks

Wow! Thanks guys! GJay, we have more starbase's coming don't worry.. There will be 4 or 5 different ones. The "military starbase" for example can turn into a terror star and will move around the galaxy, so that should be fun and don't worry I will make sure it's weapon of mass destruction looks really damn cool when it takes out a planet :-).

Jack's right, We are going to make sure that the updates are so cool and new that any true GalCiv fan will have to own a copy. Plus all the user content that I personally can't wait for, the Starwars or Startrek mods for example is what I am waiting for. :-) Of course you will need galciv version 1.xxx to play it :-)

Reply to gigantic has speed issues in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What is your maintenance cost? With that many ships it must be huge! This is also something that will effect how large your military can be. it's something we have to tweak in the coming months. I wouldn't worry to much about it right now. Just wondering what is the speed of your machine?

Reply to Beta 1Y seems much harder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have also found if I bump up my military (70%) production right at the start of the game. I can still build colony ships in 6-7 turns, IMHO I think that is much to fast this early. Since the planet is still developing and populating. I guess what I am asking for some time where I can actually just explore the galaxy while my projects are being built. Right now the game feels to much like an arcade game, much to fast passed. I guess the way it plays now I don't get that feeling of accom

Reply to Beta 1Y seems much harder in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I agree this build is hard, but it's ONLY because the AI is colonizing like the plague. By time I have 4 systems they have like 10 - 15 which is clearly unfair since they will out produce me in a few years. I also don't want to HAVE to put all my points in to speed just so I can colonize quicker to keep up. I don't think colony ships should EVER get 5 turns especially so early in the game when there are only so many planets you can colonize. I suggest we only give the "speed bonuses" to mil
