Galactic Civilizations "REAL" Warp Drive: ------------------ If you move your ship out the corner of a border quadrant at the border, your ship will appear in the next quadrant in the same square you attempted to "leave". This is obviously a way of moving REAL FAST (done in a Dave Barry voice). Population Growth via "Shore Leave": ------------------------------------ If you remove all the troops from a transport, leave and then return that ship to its homeworld, it will instantly gain another 20,000 troops (20 legions). Repeat as needed. As a note, this is also a bug. In the bug state, your transport full of legions gets "repaired" to the 20 level. Prescience: ----------- You can always save the game after it starts and then map out the universe. It would probably be easiest to do a and then annotate the print-out. Then, restart. Since the AI doesn't cheat, you can be a true prophet and know exactly what is going to happen.
