Reply to I hate how "good and evil" works in this. in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The GCII team has a point when they stop events after you choose an alignment - You logicaly allways choose the alignment you have. However I agree that events should still happen - And perhaps give a chance to change allignment while you are at it. Now I'm sure people might use that ability to get all of the allignment supertechs - So just use some good old Deus Ex Machina - Morality riots destroy the buildings in the name of x alignment.

I am thinking.. A minor race with incredible millitary production, Some speed and sensor bonuses coupled together with a good starting technology level and one single class 6-8 world. Oh, And they are aggressive.

Reply to Ideas for 1.3 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Against my expectations, Those ideas sound pretty good! Stealing all the cash from a trade route sounds a little harsh at first, But it could work out to be like diverting the goods to you.. The idea of Space Marines also sounds rather good, Starbases by their very nature have a large population and the mining bases and millitary would definatly have self defence as a high interest, But I cannot see people being very happy about Starbases having an official populatio

I doubt it, Just because you are having a good time with everyone else does not mean that the rest of the galaxy does not hate each other.

Reply to Too easy to get a Diplomatic Victory? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Diplomatic victories are not at all easy to get on higher difficulty settings, Seeing as the enemy outbuilds you, outtechs you and outdoes you in every way they look down upon you, And it can be real hard to get Diplo-Vics if you dont get off to a good start.

Reply to Ideas for Galciv 1.2 in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The 3D playing grid is impractical, It would create another game alltoghether. Anyhow, To continue the idea of UI tweaks, Perhaps have the planetary defence shield icon appear more tough based on how strong the orbiting ships are? So a really strong planet might have a golden shield with orbiting balls, And a weak one might appear to be a tarnished form of the current one?

Reply to GC2 AAR’s For All! in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

I think that events should be "weighted" according to how much of an impact they made on the game, So a few skirmishes over the course over three years would be written pretty much like that, However the defeat of the orbital defence fleet around planet Kona should be a major.
