Just build a few extra colony ships put 1 mil pop on them and colonize planets to up your alignment. I've noticed negative modifiers usually do not stack. Since 13 and 14 colonies are viable if you can put soil enhancers and habitant improvements on them quickly.


Yes I'll try that. I've been reading a thread in the strategic forum about colonizing below 15 worlds, where they suggested doing that. But if I go to far below 15, it's my people who will start calling me Nasty.

you can always destroy the colony - it's in the details screen

I regularly colonize under 15 planets. I just build (actually buy) SE and HI immediately and add a Entertainment Network. They start giving me pretty quickly!

Looks like I lost the touch for even small masochistic maps. I've lost eight in a row. Managed to take out the strongest race each time and then hit the wall.

Hello all,

Man, I feel like I've been in a time warp for the last couple of weeks. It's nice to see that the Fellowship has grown and exploded in rankings...

Have you been to the Fellowship website, philopoemen? It's at http://home.earthlink.net/~nascarfanatic/ Link

Be sure to check out the Newslog http://home.earthlink.net/~nascarfanatic/fellowshipnewslog/ Link there to see what's been happening.

"I'm sure I left my ship parked behind that asteroid..."

Hi all, I'm new to this alliance. My score isn't very high because I like to play really short games, but when I saw that I could help a vaguely good alliance seize metaversal dominance over a vaguely evil one at no cost to myself, I jumped at the chance.
I don't have to read this whole thread to be a member, do I? I do have a life, you know. It's only a small one, but it has sentimental value.

Just checked out the website today, Theoden. I like it a lot.

I submitted this in the strategy section. I won a military victory by culture flipping before I got all the techs. I reloaded, made a full maxed star base for the Torians to prevent another flip. Then I got the techs. After that I flipped them. The score went from 12k and change to a little under 15k. This is about a 20% to 25% for getting all the techs. Does this sound about right to others? While I am having fun, I might as well max the score for the FOTR, right?

Welcome to our thread and the Fellowship, Matthew!

Really glad to have you around.

You've got a sense of humour.
There is no need to. Just read the most recent ones to have an idea of our discussions and then jump right in!

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what little alignment icon you have next to your name, but whether or not you were a positive force for the community. I like to think I am.

Do good through your actions and posts, not by playing the game. That's my advice to the members of the Fellowship.


That's absolutely right. Most of you probably didn't manage to see my post on this issue after the alignment smiley was implemented by SD. I specifically mention that I do not want us to be constrained to one game alignment (just because the White Council then was seen as a good empire).

Why restrict our enjoyment of the game and how would we be of help to others who play evil if we restrict ourselves completely to the good game alignment?

Welcome back, philopoemen! I've been wondering where you have gone to.

I submitted this in the strategy section. I won a military victory by culture flipping before I got all the techs. I reloaded, made a full maxed star base for the Torians to prevent another flip. Then I got the techs. After that I flipped them. The score went from 12k and change to a little under 15k. This is about a 20% to 25% for getting all the techs. Does this sound about right to others? While I am having fun, I might as well max the score for the FOTR, right?


Yes, it sounds right Rick. Tech researching gives up a fair bit of points. Just be careful, score maxing can get real boring for some so don't overdo it if you start to feel bored.

Ray, if any of my posts have crossed the line into "trash talk" then I apologise. I don't enjoy reading immature posts or conflict.

Nastavnik in russian means something like Professor or Mentor


That would make you a Sage - if you know your onions....

Hey guys just wanted to make a quick post and let you know I am still alive. I am having a great time playing Jagged Alliance 2 gold edition, so will not be on much.

Have fun, Theleb. You know your assignment. Give us a first rate review of all those TBS games that you are playing now.

                        
#795  by Citizen Gibbie99 - 7/29/2003 9:24:31 PM

Uhmm confession! I've been playing Rise of Nations (RON). Its a nice game, along the lines of the Age of... series, and more closely aligned to Empire Earth, which I just loved. It's got a few new twists but basically it's a RTS game ala Warcraft/C&C. Still, it's fairly fun but I think i'll tire of it quickly. Then back to GalCiv. I left this thread 3-4 days ago and now 5 pages have gone by And our score has increased alot. Way to go team! Love the story submissions. I dont' think i can do much to help that out but I can try. In the meantime if there is a strategy discussion i am there.

I guess this is a strategy topic. What do you all think of resources? For me they really change the strategy of the game, so that you spend alot of time searching and finding good resources, and denying them to your enemy. Most important I think are the military resources; they allow you to boost your military score and improve the kill ratio when you attack them. So grabbing these are just pivotal to my games. Other strategy games (RON) have resources but they are very tamed down and don't give much ability bonus. Here there is a huge effect of resources on your game. Just my $0.02 as always.





                    
#796  by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/29/2003 10:47:26 PM

Agree that resources are very powerful, Gibbie. The strategic resources in Civ3 gives the ability to create units. Even though Galciv ones don't, the +68% for a max out resource SB is nothing to sniff at.

Unfortunately, the AI still does not know how to make use of them as well as the human. We humans vulture AI resources during war with ease and we buy them from the AI using valuable tech.

Personally, I like economy ones the most because they are useful both in war or peace.

Careful, mate - there've been quite a few things interpreted as trash recently - or are you just here to stir up more trouble?

Game on wizards! [rummages around in bag]...sure I have an exploding sheep left in here somewhere....

Heheh Wombat,

You wouldn't want me to turn you into a sheep again, would ya?
