Sloth, The key is to identify early who you want to weaken, and then "wake" up a shark before the trade routes are going. By that time, it will take a developing civ. a long time to recuperate from losing a ship of any sort. By keeping them weak, you'll be able to develop quicker than they can. Also, trapping a freighter isn't that bad, if the trade route is for your enemy... Vandycan... (Can You?) ~SDC~

Sloth, Getting the Alliance isn't quite as fulfilling as completely dominating the galaxy militarily, but as my wife points out regularly... Life is hard without a partner in crime ;-) I like the final screen where you get to see the "Galaxy Federation" building. Tre` kool. Before I started postin my scored, I had this massive galaxy and was surrounded by Torians, Grengins and a space shark. Using a satellite, I lead the space shark into the drengins, allianced with the Tor

Spellforce, you are the man. Why do I like being a member of the Diplomat's Channel? Well, frankly, any ol' goober can make a deathstar and win a game. However, that gets old. Frankly, the real point to this game is being able to win-over your galaxy. Alliance wins are the way to go, and if that fails... Nothing beats a good-ol' military victory. Why do you other Diplomat members like being part of this Empire? VandyCan.. Can you? ~SDC~

Reply to New Metaverse Medals in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

As a "piss poor scorer", I'd like to see the following medals awarded: Lowest Score for 1 Week All Time High Score Drengin Net User Altarian Prophecy Tester And how about top 10's each week for each skill category? That way you wouldn't have to worry about making scoring harder or easier based on a person's scoring ability. Another idea would be to use something similar to following to grid to create overall categories: GALAXY SIZE massive(5)

Jebus Chripts! I tried to play the game a second time and the same thing... The Load game would not work when I attempted to load a game that did not fail (eg. I saved the game before a major maneuver). Also, the restore last function failed. OK. (breathe, this is only the beta, you had some fun, you're just bitching because you couldn't close the deal... breathe...) I still don't see the whole Altarian tie-in. This time, I even let the altarians live until the en

Reply to Altarian Prophecy beta Available to Drengin.net users in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Questions after playing for the 1st time: 1) How do I know I"m playing the Altarian prophecy vs. vanilla GalCiv? 2) After playing for 4 hours, a CTD occurs, and then I cannot reload or restart. I figure the problem is that if the saved game has the bug that caused the CTD, it'll cause a CTD. Wassup wit dat? If I play a game for 4 hours and I messed it up, it'd be nice to know that I lost, vs. nada noodles. 3) Liked the new faces, but that's the only thing I see different. Should I
