Some of my ships are invisible. They have no picture and I can not select them directly. I can move them if they are in a fleet with a non invis ship. This tends to happen mainly with late game ships like atavars and terror stars, When it happens it tends to affect all of that type of ship I build. I dont know if anyone else has this problem but I have it almost evry game.

I just thought of an intersting hypothetical situation in the game. Iv never gotten it myself, but I understand that there is an event that creates an ubber minor civ that pretty much kills everyone, I think the name started with a D. It would be funny if you can use this to block them . ;)
I think you can extort way too much money from the minor civs. I got 215 bc (all the $$ they had) for 50,000,000 turns in return for a peace treaty. Thats a little unrealistic. Over 4 MILLION years of tribute. That just seems a little wrong to me.
I think you can only make atack offers towards races both of you have met. Not sure though.
This game is a true sucessor to SMAC. If you are a SMAC fan you will probably like this game 2. This game has the best AI I have ever played against. I gotta admit that the Nukes in SMAC are cooler than the TerrorStars *Cough* Death Stars *Cough* of GC are. This game IMHO had much cooler events, and the alinments are just cool. It is much more diplomatic and economic oriented than SMAC is. You can actualy win the game with out ever fireing a shot
They arent the best race, but, (this may be a slight spoiler so dont read the next part if havent played with the Tors set to evil.) If you set them evil they talk about eating your skin, and that automaticly makes them pretty cool in my book. I cracked up when I first saw them say that. It has to be my fav diplomatic line from the game. (End of spoiler) In my games they tie with the Yor for 2nd worst. Guess who is first.
Ya, but those say they are only version 1.01. Isnt there a newer version out
I think that that is what the terror star is supposed to represent. You are starting a chain reaction that destroys the star and creates a new 1, but since the star created will not hav any habitable planets you dont see it.
I cant figure out where to dl the latest updates. I have stardock central, but I dont see it on there. :notsure:

I like to set military and governement spending to 100% each. That way u get a colony ship every 2 turns and u dont have to buy it on credit. I do this until I run our of planets, maby start building a few construction ships, I go for resources fairly early.. Then I put it all in tech I go for U tanslater and Diplomacy first and buy/trade for as many techs as I can. Just remeber to lowerer your gov spending before you get to -500 ;) There are prolly better strats out there but it works for me
ah, ok, thanks. I though my ships were being damaged through normal wear and tear or something. It buged the hell out of me. J have been going out of my way to tech up my repair ability, nice to know I dont need to do that

Im 20. Since I seem to be one of the youngest ppl, all I have to do to conqure the metaverse is wait for you old men die LOL
Since I installed the pach Iv had it crash alot to, but I havent had to restart or anything
Name says it all. My ships get damged when I havent fought anyone. Is it suppopsed to represent wear an tear or what? Its realy anoying.
I was playing a small map and one of the main aliens never got another planet. Early in the game the event where a plantes quality shoots up occured. It happend to that AI, his only planet was a 48! The realy funny thing is at the end of the game he had an average aproval rating of 99% ;)
