Reply to Ship Hit Points in Strategies Stardock Forums

I have to disagree on the war party picks. I used to play a race with war party,+10 hps, +15 weapons, +40 repair, and +30 economy. But my ships lost many battles to lesser ships because of the randomness of the rolls. I have done much better with the capitalists(federalists, +20 economy, +20 diplomacy, 5pq, +25 lucky, +20 research. I ALWAYS get diplomatic translators and tristronium steel(plus 20 hps). With the capitalists I have a great economy and can trade/sell techs easily.

Reply to Masochistic 1.04 in Strategies Stardock Forums

I won on large(mas difficulty with red on genius;rest incredible) map but it was a dogfight. I am trying now to win on huge but it looks bad. My only cheese concessions are saving and refighting battles and rerolling until I get a great starting sector. My race the Capitalists: Federalists, +10 economy, +20 research; +20 diplomacy; +5 pq; +25 luck. But huge is too much work, so I think medium/large will be my future on the Mas difficulty.

Reply to Bug Report Thread in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am on a medium map. The game crashes wjhen I hit end turn. Every time. I have successfully played 5 prior games with no problem. This is my 1st game with most of the AI set on inccredible. I completed a game with no crashes on the crippling difficulty. So I am not sure if this is the problem or not. It happened a couple of turns after the AI gave me some ships to help me in my war. I use Windows 98 SE.

crash to windows in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I get crashes to windows when: 1. A race tries to trade techs with me. But it only shows the tech they are offering and does not show the one they want to trade for. When I hit accept it crashes to desktop. 2. I also get random crashes. Ill try to keep track of them.

Excalibur in Strategies Stardock Forums

Ive won a few games now, one on the crippling level. But I always thought the overlord was the end all of ships. Then I lose THREE!! overlords to a ship called the Excalibur. Fortuantely, I took a planet a couple turns later and stole the tech myself. As I play the War Party and take a plus 10 to hps on top of that, and had tri-strontium steel, my bad boy had close to 700 hps. So the long drawn game can be illuminating. I havnt won this game yet, but my chances look good. I ju

How to click on cloaked ships? in Strategies Stardock Forums

Is this a bug that clocked ships are invisible to the owner as well? The only way i can see to highlight them is to doubleclick on them from the ship screen. You cant click on them from the main map.

Techs for good and neutral races in Strategies Stardock Forums

I learned the Dark Side is evil only. Does anyone know what other techs are only researchable by certain alignments? I noticed the Fundamentalists appear with the tech The Better Way. Not sure is that is a good alignment only tech or not though.

Reply to factions and starting bonuses in Strategies Stardock Forums

It may not be the best but I like the War Party. My Vikings take 30 in economy, 40 in repair,15 weapons and 10 hp. I always get these trade goods/wonders: 1.Diplomatic Translators 2.Tri-Strontium Steel 3.Micro repair Bots 4.Galatic Stock Exchange. I love my ships being tough. I recently won a military victory on a medium map on the tough level. Presently my Vikings are the 2nd best race on the painful level. But the way I figure it, with my picks I can compete

These are all bonuses in ground combat I believe. Do they all stack?

The Dark Side in Strategies Stardock Forums

Does anyone know what you need to be able to research The Dark Side tech? The tech tree shows Xeno Propaganda as the required tech, but I researched it and Dark Side did not appear as a new research item. I traded for it and managed to build the Life Force, but never saw it in my own research tree.

No hall of fame? in Strategies Stardock Forums

I finally won a game-after losing my 1st 3. I played War party on medium universe normal level. I got a cultural victory and my score was a lowly 242. That isnt good enough for the top 100, but I wish there was a way to keep track of my individual scores. Mainly because I refuse to go out of my way to inflate a score and I am relatively new. Oh well maybe a hall of fame on 1.4. Thanks for all the help and im glad to have won my 1st game. :)

Experienced player please give some advice in Strategies Stardock Forums

I just bought the game and played 3 games so far. All 3 normal diff and medium map. I lost the 1st 2 and was 1st in the game i quit becuase the 2nd place empire got that event where they get stronger each day. I was populists with base picks and 25 to creativity. My economy got horrible and i had 40 percent tax rate, only 25 percent spending. It seems research costs more as the game goes on. Are there some buildings that do not need to be built on every planet? Also ho

ship foundry/other plus spaceship buildings in Strategies Stardock Forums

I thought only ships built after this improvement was built get the plus hps. But all of my ships of the same class have the same hps. Additionally I do not see any increase in hps at all from the ship foundry which is plus 25 or so.

Trade goods in Strategies Stardock Forums

Where in game can you see what trade goods you have and their effect? I also traded a lot for some trade goods and they never appeared on my trade window in future trades but disappeared from the enemy trade window.

They go stronger each day!!!!????? in Strategies Stardock Forums

What kind of bs is that? I got this message concerning an enemy empire. That ruins the whole game to me. It requires me to make war now or lose the game?!

capturing a planet with influence in 1.3 in Strategies Stardock Forums

If the AI has a planet in the same sector as I do and I have had the higher influence for ages, will it ever join me to get the superior culture? If I pump money into destabilization will that help? And what does destabiliztion do and how does one defend against it?
