To Poisoned Acid, if you visit the Diplomats forum we have a small walkthrough that may help you in learning the basics of the game. Here is the link

And to make it clear I am NOT asking you to join our empire.

thank you all, thanks to your tips the United Earth Directorate (yes yes i know i ripped it from starcraft, but it just sounds so cool) is the uber leading empire in the galaxy, for example we have an income of 1300 per month thanks to trading techs with all the races 
but now i have another prolem, i have a hard time to keep morale at a high, i build all kinds of morale boosting things i can find and i have taxes at 0%, still i only have like 48 morale and decreasing... help! i might think its because of overpopulation, since i have only 3 planets, but theres nothing i can do about that...

Put the people in colony ships and get them out of your planet. and keep them in orbit.

Hmmm...0% taxes and morale is still going down? This not only sounds like excess population, but also an enemy destabalizing you. You should certainly keep an eye on your morale for a while. Always remember, you don't need to build every improvement available. Concentrate on getting some of the population off-planet and quickly increasing your morale. If you have a constructor sitting around, try to get morale resources. And increase your espionage to combat any enemy destabalization.

okay, thanks again!.. well how do i increase espionage?
oh and why i think of overpopulation is that sol alone has like 10 billion inhabitants

When you go to the diplomatic screen you can click to speak to the different races, in the bottom part there are to sliders, one says desestabilization and the other espionage, move the slide for espionage and you will start to spy on the AI, becareful to not over spend in espionage.
| |
|
i dont think i CAN overspend with 1300bc/month in income 
| |
|
Maintenace cost, fleet maintenance, Prime Minister salary, it gets very expensive
Still if you are interested in the small walkthru come to the link I provide above and visit us.

tylertoo:
You may need to register to access Mayito's walkthrough. The walkthrough is found Link
Here is what he says:
These are just few rules for the beginner players. Many of these ideas were created by strategist EBZero.
1-Start with a good planet PQ19 or higher (PQ= Planet Quality), when you start the game you click in your homeworld planet and you will know what PQ has. (if the PQ is too low hit Ctrl-N until you get a good starting position).
2- Star with map size tiny or small.
3- Try to get a good position in the map, I prefer center or close to the center of the map that way your exploration vessel can reach each corner of the map.
4-Check all the victory conditions until you are familiar with the game.
5-Colonization Rush, set your taxes to 50%, research 0%, social production 0% and military production 100%, also set your expenses to 100%
6-Try to colonize as many system as you can, 3-7 will be good.
7-Send your exploration vessel to every corner of the map trying to make contact with each AI's race.
8-Change your military production to 0% and your research to 100%.
9-Research the basic techs that you will need to build your social-production-military structure, such as:
*Communication Theory
*Universal Translator
*Diplomacy
*Propulsion Theory
*Cold Fusion
*Medical Theory
*Basic Environment Control
*Zero Gravity Research
*Industrial Theory
*Interstellar refining
*Nano-metal composition
10-Set research to 0% and social production to 100%, and began to build the following structures:
-Soil enhancement
-Habitat Improvement
-Manufacturing Center
-Fusion Power Plant
-Banking Center
-Research Lab.
(Quick note, if your funds start getting real low, trade techs with the AI's, I prefer in the beginning to trade only with the Minor races, get as much money as you can in the largest period of time, such as 100bc per 50 months)
Another quick note:
Use the planet with the highest PQ after it has finish building the Fusion Power Plant to build on it all your Wonders and Capitals, so as first step build on it your Manufacturing Capital and then proceed after that to build Diplomatic Translators, Tri-Strontium Steel, Aphrodisiac and Frictionless Clothing.
(To be continued)
Continuation
After you have built the last Wonder, switch back the Social Production to 0% and Research to 100% and then research
*Trade
*Advanced Trade
Switch them back again and build Economic Capital and Galactic Stock Exchange (remember use your highest PQ planet for these constructions, 99% of the time is going to be your homeworld)
As soon as Galactic Stoc Exchange is built switch then again and research Interstellar Business and Cultural Trade.
Switch again and build Ultra Spices and Galactic Exhibition.
After these are built switch and research the following techs:
*Interstellar Marketing
*Interstellar Capitalism
*Xeno Propaganda
*Artificial Gravity
*Controlled Gravity
Switch again and build
-Restautant of Eternity
-Propaganda Machine
-Gravity Accelerators.
These are just basic steps, you can alter some of them, omit some of them or add new ones, this walkthrugh works only for lowqer levels and small planets, if you wish to apply this strategy to bigger maps or tougher levels you must improve it.
Hope it helps.

| Still if you are interested in the small walkthru come to the link I provide above and visit us.I went to the link but found only Senate Halls login. I went to the forum index and looked in each sub-forum. I don't see the walkthru . Is the link right? |
|
The link is right. If you want to come "by hand", it is, in the public square, the help and support forum. And in this forum, it is the basic walkthrough thread.
Hope this help.

It's an alternate forum used by some of us. The Diplomats empire set it up, but many of us now post over there.

yes tylertoo, GC has done that to me too, i was sitting there gaming, knowing i had to sleep because i was to get up 06:00, but i just couldnt stop playing, i felt my empire would fall apart without me

Great to hear you've caught the GalCiv fever! It's a great idea to take your time with your first game or two and learn the ropes. Once you know a little bit about how the game flows, you'll begin to understand some of the intricacies this game offers.
Again, if you ever need any help just ask. We're all happy to help! 
Oh, by the way, speaking of good sources of info...you should check out this thread from the Strategies forum: Link
It may help you further.

I just want to echo what Bam Bam says about the succession games. We who participate in the SGs are very much aware of the (unseen) audience and try to provide as detailed descriptions as possible of what we're doing and why.
I predict it's simply a matter of time until we start the "Blind, Slow, Always-War" Maso SG! 
Be seeing you...
