Gallius IV Discussion Board

I personally favor demographic development by building 3 luxury houses in two territories at the same time.


Your colonists do not grow faster if they have more room - they grow at a fixed rate of roughly +5% of your existing population (on plains), with a minimum of +1/turn if you have enough ...

I think you might be overly focusing on population early on. I always play of fast production because it speeds up the game, which I like.

Turn 1:
Land in a plain or forest if no plains in available or if I am playing as the Cyth. Tarth and Uva Mosk do well in forest too.
Build a university in one ...

I always do fast production simply because it speeds up the game.

Humans are the best, because they are human. ;)

But also, money is the most difficult resource in the game. Population growth is a close second. But with the right starting strategy, population growth is taken care of.

The best part of being human, is that you can specialize your territories to ...

The only time I ever have riots are Skirineen scandals or Re'Lu subversion. I only play the original deadlock

The ChCh't do have a built in morale advantage when it comes to overpopulation. They have double the overpopulation limit. They are less affected by it. The only disadvantage that the Maug have is that they recover lost morale slower than other races. Outside of the Cyth you can only recover 10 ...

right now gog.com has Geadlock planetary conquest and Deadlock Shrine wars both on sale for $1.49 each

But I enjoy the Maug personality more than the others, the way they complain their way through every activity is amusing! If research could be "carried over" from one project to another, Maug would be more powerful early on. Later, their research bonus becomes powerful against lower tech ...

General race attributes: Cyth. Really like their gothic nature and interesting character design. Noticeably easier to play in DL2 because museums require a 3-turn upgrade period, one cannot satisfy overpopulation penalties of swamps/mountains, and demand 10 energy. HATE this change from the ...
