Reply to GC 1.2 Alliance Gripe in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Good point Matt. This peace/alliance problem works both ways and cheesers often exploit the AI for a cheap win. At any rate, I feel addressing this issue in some capacity should be considered for GC2. Alot of good suggestions have been put forward in this thread but I don't pretend to know the best answer.

Reply to GC 1.2 Alliance Gripe in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Why aren't you trying to obtain peace from all races that are allied? Mainly because peace costs money, tech, etc and I do not always have enough resources to make peace with 2 - 5 races that are all aligned against me (but if I could reduce the pressure by making peace with 1 or 2, then I might stand a chance against the others). I just find it very unrealistic that a race could agree to peace and then declare war on you the following turn. A peace treaty should forfeit that races alli

GC 1.2 Alliance Gripe in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I stepped away from earlier GC versions because of the following alliance problem: War starts with race A; Race B enters war because of alliance with race A; I negotiate peace with either race A or B; Race with negotiated peace re-enters war 1 turn later because of Alliance. I've suggested time and again that if a peace is negotiated with a race that should automatically break their alliance with other races still at war with you (otherwise it is impossible to get out of wars with multip

1.05 Infrequent Events and no Monsters??? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After taking a 2-3 month hiatus from GalCiv, I've returned to 1.05 and after playing a few games noticed infrequent events (a total of 2 after playing 2-3 hours on a medium map) and never a sign of any space monsters (in fact, I have never seen a space monster even after being warned of their presence and scouring the map with scouts looking for them). Has anyone made the same observation? Is this an issue in the 1.09 betas? :HOT: - Humane

Reply to Some thoughts on the Metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Frogboy, Thanks for pointing out to the GalCiv community that could care less about the Metaverse (>99% players) that Stardock will intelligently commit resourses to improving our single player gaming experience and not pander to a minority of players ( Humane

Reply to Should Stardock be serving crackers, or reducing my cheese intake? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I agree with the above. Cheese when exploited only cheats the player out a fun and exciting game experience. You cannot eliminate all of it. The focus should be on correcting issues that often fall within the gray area of cheese/gamedesign problems whereby realism and good gameplay is compromised by subtle design flaw (e.g., the alliances peace negotiation issues). While these flaws might be mercilessly exploited by cheeseheads, they simply annoy legitimate players by compromising realism. ;)

WIERD endgame development in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

OK, here's a truely wierd development. End of a long game on large map playing all bright. I get a message from a minor race asking for peace (I wasn't aware that we were even at war). They've got no tech and no money so I jokingly ask for >20,000 bc / turn for 200 turns. THEY AGREE???? and next thing you know my bank account starts increasing 20,000 per turn from that point forward. Remember, they had NO MONEY. What the %#@&% is this crap. Has anyone else had this kind of goofy development. I h

Reply to Possible glitch in peace negotiations in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

*bump* Thrull, These are good suggestions to address a very crippling flaw in gameplay. I simply think that if you unilaterally negotiate a peace it should sever you alliance with races still at war with the party and change your disposition with those races to friendly (rather than close) as a means of preventing you from merely re-establishing an alliance the next turn and repeating the above. As a result, you would need to nurture your relationship with old allies form some

Reply to Possible glitch in peace negotiations in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Tony S and Popup Target, I agree with your statements/suggestions and think this should be a MAJOR priority in optimizing game play because I find that alliance issues/problems often become the centerpiece of strategy, often play out unrealistically, and too frequently determine game outcome (thus compromising the fun factor). :notsure: Hopefully, Stradock is beginning to give this some serious attention.

Possible glitch in peace negotiations in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm in a three way alliance with the torians and arceans VS a two way alliance b/w the drengins and altarians (?). Once I gain a military superiority, I rape the Drengins of all their tech and cash for a peace treaty. One turn later, I'm back in the war by way of alliance. Wait a few more turns and I re-rape the Drengins of their remaining tech and money for a peace treaty (repeat as necessary). I think peace negotiations need to take alliances into account (either broken beforehand or as a resu
