I can't seem to figure out how to get the advanced setup screen when setting up a new game. When I click "Setup Game" I get a window with only 3 options: Difficulty, Game Pace and Planet Size.

Click Accept, then Click on Advanced Setup in the top Right Corner.

Sigh... I knew it was going to be something obvious I'd somehow missed. Thanks!

Okay, I give up. How does one actually deploy the mechanic to move a water city? Sheesh!

It's at the top of the production list. Instead of choosing to produce something you use production to move the city.

Civ: BE - RT

I'm having a difficult time actually negotiating a trade. It has been a while since I played BE but I can't seem to change an offer at all. I'm always stuck with the default.

We *can* do that, right?

Regarding the new expansion:
In BERT, how do you tell a Civ not to settle near?
Thank you.

Is there a way to see an AI's (Rising Tide) science and energy output per turn as well as their total reserves? I enjoy the diplomacy system in Rising Tide, but in the original Beyond Earth you could see how an AI was doing in science and energy when negotiating a trade.

My sincere thanks in advance.

do you think the slow load times add to the dramatic tension?

Yes hello,
Here are my system specs. :

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 610
Memory 8.2 GB

SO, according to a site called "Can you run it" (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri) if you are familiar with it I should have a great experience with the game which means at least medium-high on 1680x1050.
BUT, I cant run the game on minimum on 1680x1050 and have stable 60 fps.
Pleas tell me if there is some thing wrong with my computer or dose this site just lie to me giving me hope.

Oh and please if I posted at a wrong place this is my first time on this forum or any for that matter that i plan to use a lot.

50 turns into my first RT game...what's happening with the Ultrasonic Fence? Is it bugged? Or are sea aliens not affected by the Ultrasonic Fence?

Also with the Hydracorals I think I'm never going to go Harmony ever again. How do you clear the Hydracorals while going Harmony?

It would have been nice to still be able to warn the Civ to back off from the area, as long as the AI behaviour would react in a unique way, independent from the new politics mechanic.

Can anyone tell me how to determine an enemies city's anti-orbital strike range? Something I am missing in the orbital layer ui, tooltips, warnings, spies? Or are we just left with trial and error?

I was wondering the same today and tested it out. It's the same as the maximum workable range of a city - so, 5.

There's no way to see it that I know of. It was part of the old diplo/trading which got completely removed.

 

[Ryika]

No, that's not correct. The Orbital Strike Range varies depending on the Buildings/Wonders that the City has - GlobalDefines claims it's 0 by default. Not sure if that number is actually active though.

There's no way of knowing what the current orbital range is, other than making predictions, though Range 3 is pretty much guaranteed on a somewhat defensive City (Rocket Battery).

I wish that your spy reports on foreign cities would include a report on their orbital strike range.

 

[Halcyon 7]

Thanks for the imput. Thats what I figured. Just wanted to make sure I didn't skim over a way to see it. Educated guess with trial and error it is.

 

[Ghost_Nappa]

I stand corrected. I should've written that I always take 5 just to be sure. So, I excuse myself for making assumptions rather than providing facts.

I just reloaded a game several times again, where I know that the AI was definitely taking down a sat. It also got a Rocket Battery in the city.

4 - tiles away outside of city territory - no attack
3 - tiles inside territoy - sat got attacked

So the initial value 0 - as you Ryika stated - is zero.

Now, the question for me is, if city territory affects city orbital strike range. But I have no way at the moment to test it.

 

[Halcyon 7]

I wouldn't think territory would have anything to do with it. Just the number of tiles from the city tile itself. Will be making a point to try to know who builds the Panopticon(+5 anti-orbital strike range) and where from here on.
