Reply to Any race with strong research has a large advantage. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well although techs give you an edge in diplomacy i have always gotten more out of other races with trade goods.sometimes even 4 techs with a single trade good. i am usualy a fediralist and up taxes to 45% and move my Govt spending till i make only 3 or 2 a turn in the begining. i have my atributes 6 tech 3 influence and 1 on sensors. it seems to work rather well for me.if you try it i hope it works well for you too

Reply to Seeking professional help: How do I use fighter craft? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

personaly ive never had an extended war with an enimy and therefore use little military.however when i do use fighters i usualy send out 3 FGs(fighter groups) of about 10-15 ships and maybe if i have the tech a capital ship and have the 3 FGs attack the same target i usualy send out fighters that have a high number on both ATT and DEF. sooner or later the targets gonna die i mean think about it 45 fighters atacking one capitalship c'mon. "stay on target... stay on target...ITS AWAY!!" :)

"Taking the good path really has no attractive benefits. While from a role-playing POV, it may make sense, it just doesn't jive with winning."

Reply to Im a noob, help me with economy pleeeeeeeeeease in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

well have you tried the fediralist party?they are especaly good with the green(money).Banking centers early will help your cause and they are rather cheap if you have proper spending to them.econimy capitals although expencive will dramaticly help as well so build them in your highest income planet.buy a colony ship first thing when you start.in my experience it helpss alot and the soil enhancement helps alot too.remember the higher the planet number the more efective.in the dinky book that com

Reply to Influence and minor civs.... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

im guessing its a roll of the dice so to speak.usaly what i do is build star bases around my planets and fill them with economic and cultural upgrades early.not only does this help if you run onto civs early in game for the U.P but if they place a colony in your sector they might transfer to your side thugh your cultural dominance.

Reply to WHY? must I have a S.B. or S.S. to attack and they don't? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

personaly im not a military might to any degree but i think all ya need to do is build a star base about 2 sectors away from your max range in a corner nearest them. then max the thing out on Att/Def and then send your ships on their way to death. but personaly i overwelm thrugh culture building the culture and economic enhancements and then place a dinky planet with a news network and embasy.

Reply to Trade goods and wonders in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I for 1 am glad they don't anounce them. for one it in a sense forces you to try to build them first by not knowing if someone else is constructing it.plus as mentioned above you could just flat out buy it if he gets close and to me thats cheating.plus that might make it too much like CIVILIZATION 3.
