The first one is a bug. Journalists can't do statistics anyway. The second one isn't a bug. There isn't 'territory' so-to-speak. There is only influence. The little patch of red to the right of the Drengin planet is the only place in that area where that planet's influence exceeds yours. (or the other aliens). Nice job, taking those shots for us. Thx

Nobody misses the elerians. They used to mind control my colonies repeatedly. damn blue elf like things. I miss them. I love mind control. Blue is good.
Minors generally don't colonize, at least outside of a very short radius from their homeworld. That's why they are minors. Sometimes they have very nice planets, tho.
I just noticed last night that when trading and throwing in cash there is a new selector that changes the cash pot by 10 units in addition to the old 1 unit one. Never noticed that before, and don't know if it was in GC I, but I LOVE it. Thank You!
The Altarans don't like you because you've been at war (probably). (Altarans are Lt. blue). Also, they are in competition with your for top-spot, so an alliance is more difficult. (Imagine cold-war US and USSR forming an alliance? Didn't happen). I think you need to combine both strategies. Here's what I'd recommend... Finish off the vile Drengin at a liesurely pace. Maybe even shift gears to influence. Influence would be a good choice, because that sounds like what t
Wow! I haven't had a game long enough to get me past medium sized hulls yet, and I think I'm doing good to put some wings and an antenna with a few lights or something on it. Your ship looks so good, I'll bet you shed a tear when it gets defeated.

I've seen that too. I think it's one of their object desktop applets that's required for stardock and their games to work. Of course, I could be wrong and Frogboy may be trying to see what you are downloading when you aren't playing GalCiv II.
I had fun watching the tutorials before I could d/l the game and play. Can't say they are good or bad since I've played way too much Galciv I, but a strategy game with any replayability is going to have a stiff learning curve. Roll up your sleeves and play a few games.
Everyone has a different formula. Here's what works for me.... Phase I: The land-grab. Set your research (whatever you want). I usually go for the ones that improve my economy first, like planetary improvements, or something with a diplomacy bonus). Set your tax rate to as high as you can go and keep your overall approval rate at about 50%. Don't worry, the colonists can't vote yet, so you won't get overthrown. Since you are buying your ships right now, and research is
Now that you mention it... I haven't seen any lights either. But I'm running the game on a Commodore 64. (Not really, but my PC is a few years old).
Oooh. I didn't know that. That sort of sucks. Sometimes if I haven't got the army or willpower to actually TAKE an enemie's planet, I like the option of making it worthless. Sort of a scorched earth program. Are you sure it's intentional that no damage is done to the planet if the invasion fails?
I am having a similar problem, but I don't know if it is with the manual. I can't run GC II from stardock, or from the Windows START menu. I have to go into the GCII folder and run it with the exe file that starts the game. (NOTE there are 2 exe files in the folder, one of them (the one that Windows tries to run from the start menu) does nothing, the other makes the game work.)) Pretty odd. I thought I would try this week's update and see if it self-corrects, and if not do
I *almost* built an Omega Defense System last night, then noticed the little explanation in the build window that said its benefit only applied to the planet it was built on. I vaguely remember the Omega Systems (of all sorts) in GC I applied their benefits to all of your worlds. Or am I confusing them with wonders? Is this a difference between the series, is my memory bad, or is there something wrong with the explanation in the GC II text? Thx.
Sweet! Nice work.
GalCiv has always been a game where the larger capital ships didn't show up until much later in the game. So, if you're playing a medium galaxy or smaller, you probably won't get much higher than medium hulls. However, there is an option to start with all of the techs if that would fill your desire for mayhem.
I really don't understand the settings either. I finally foold around with it enough so that i get to see most of the battles in the cinematic style. Still, sometimes the battles are played out with a one-two shot from the main screen and one fleet or the other blows up.
Nice Ship!
Hmmmm. Are you an electronic download customer? Maybe you didn't d/l the multimedia?
I like to make a heavy fighter with weapons only. Needs to be cheap. The whole point of it is, I can rush-build one quick if I see a transport coming. I try to get one in orbit around all worlds ASAP. Generally at this point I have no real enemies, and it may not be clear yet which armor to focus on b/c I won't know yet what the opposing AI is using for weapons. As time goes on, I'll get better weapons and make a better weapons-only heavy fighter which I'll use as a true defender (in
I agree with Jefe. I don't understand why it is so easy for the invaders. However, I don't think it is reasonable for every citizen of a planet to be considered part of the defense either. (Remember the picture of the little Terran female with the stuffed representation of a Terran quadruped looking up into the burning eyes of a Drengin Terror-Trooper) Somehow I bet she went down real easy. And probably was tasty too. More realistic would be to say X% of a planet's population is its g

A muppet? You mean like Kermit the Frog? Didn't know he aspired to be Supreme Overlord.
I hope it wouldn't be MV friendly. That would not be fair to the rest of us.
I noticed that if you exhile a ship into obsolescence, it comes back next game you play. My shipyards are cluttered up with old designs too. Thx for the tip.
Wow! Uh, wow! Wowowowow! I thought I was getting better at ship design because I quit using the blank hulls and started adding wings to my ships. Wow. wow, i suck.
