Reply to Getting destroyed right after early game in Strategies Stardock Forums

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't spam farms all over new planets... I've found that it tends to REALLY kill your morale. Which will make your population grow slower, and will make your planets easier to conquer. Even when playing as the Krynn, and having all the morale boosting structures possible (plus I put the best one on a booster tile for morale), I found that my homeworld was getting grumpy constantly once I was over 20b population on it. &

I think it'd be a bit too slow paced and wouldn't really excite the spectators.... So I dunno if this would make a good E-sport... Starcraft is an E-sport out in south Korea, though. Apparently it can get pretty intense over there.

Some of these ships are AWESOME. You guys are pretty creative! [quote who="ChainsawSchmalz" reply="25" id="3115698"] The Defect Removal Frigate [/quote] OOOH!! That's nifty! That's REALLY nifty!

Oh those Korx...I remember that feeling too. Seeing all the other races declare was on each other, making me applaud happily and say "YAY! More money for me! Mercenary bonus go!". Which would make a Drath-Korx alliance insane if it ever happened...

Well, my peaceful cultural takeover is at an end. After I ended my little misunderstanding with the Korath, peace broke out across the Galaxy. I passed a UP resolution to basically end all wars. And then I started bombarding the Korath with my culture beams. They soon had literally NO influence left. A few more fully upgraded stations later, and I was on my way to victory... Strangely, it was as if the Galaxy was apathetic to my takeover. Rather

DAAAAAMN Nielo....Those Torians are ripping up the Galaxy! I've never seen them do that...For me, they mostly sit around, get a kickass economy, and then bribe other people to fight their wars for them...then get squashed like bugs when they're alone...For them to dominate like that...That's interesting. --- On my front, with my peaceful influence nation...!@#$ just hit the fan.

So I decided that since I'm kinda out of the loop, I'd play a new game on a medium sized Galaxy to get warmed up again before jumping back into my Korx game. This new game has me playing a pacifistic race, going for a cultural victory (using the Krynn tech tree). I've got two militant evil races, one neutral, and one other good one. Sooo...About 2 or 3 hours in, the two evil ones hate me, the neutral one just doesn't give a rat's rear end about me, an

I was there, turning a newly colonized world into what was to be my main research world, and then BOOM, they took it. And so, my calm and neutral robotic race felt their first taste of anger. And eventually, we took that world back, for it was OUR world, and we would not be used...And then we n

I'm playing on the second to largest map size. I'm the Korx, playing fully on evil empire mode. I'm doing OK. My economy is kinda shaky (I think I have too many planets, and not enough taxpayers), and my military is ok (got some really strong ships, but not too many of them), and my research is really strong. My custom races are: The seekers: A civ I played as in a previous game. They&

What are the different AI types like? (making custom races) in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

For some reason or another, I feel like making a bunch of custom races instead of using some of the default races. Problem is, I've only played about 2.5 games, so I don't know the different AI types well enough to know which one will fit which custom race I'm making... I know the Arceans are warlike, but are easy enough to be friends with; The Torians are wusses, but will often buy the aid of other races to fight FOR them; the Terrans expand relatively fast and are
