GalCiv IV Dynasty - Krynn - We Lost!

[Abe Sargent]

Hello all! I hope that your day is going super mega well! Do I want to do a dynasty of 4X in Space Galactic Civilizations 4 that came out in October? I just started, knocked out the Tutorial as the default Human Terrans, and then just barely won the “Quick Start” with the default Phalenoids Advance which are a Moth-like race from a with a bright white dwarf sun and then very long day/nights and have era of Waking good for growth and minerals and sleep good for tech and prestige. They are great at science, love folks, have the progressive culture trait and work better on planets with other species.

I BARELY won. I was at 75% and my main foes the Altarians were at 93% Prestige, and I started doing Quests and won with them at 98% a short while later since my economy was so good and industrial on my world to build those answers and buy them where possible and fast build them. The Quick Start has all bad guys all at easy level of difficulty and is designed for an easy update into what is happening. It took me around 8 hours of game time all told.

So this would be my first main go through. Who would win? I don’t know. I never fought a war to win either the Tutorial or Quick Start. You could use ChatGPT to make your own empire around something like “Space Elves” or just play one of the 23 starting Empires. Who do I want?

I kind of like the Navigators starting with two Colony Ships, better ship range, and better anomaly research, but they are progressive like mine. They don’t start with a Probe., But 2k cash. The Archaens are neutral Traditionalists that were allies to Humans normally. The Altarians that almost beat me are Egalitarians that play into that infrastructure. They have Empathy as a trait. Torians are collectivist ex-slaves that are fertile, unwavering and Collective. The Krynn are a unique collection of religious different species. They are Individualist like Terrans. Devout and Bureaucrats traits. They start with 1500 like my Phalenoids Advance.

Navigators – Don’t have Probe, 2 Colonies, 2 k cash, Probe Starters investigate anomalies like Flags, better anomaly research, progressive, +3 Int, -1 Diligence, Social

Krynn – 1.5k, Individualist, Devout, Bureaucrats, not a race

Altarian – Empathy, Egalitarian, 1.5k cash, +6 social, Ancient, -1 Resolve,

Torian – Ex-Slave, Collectivist, Fertile, Unwavering, Ocean World, Collective, +1 Growth and Foodcost, 1.5k cash

Archeans – Traditionalists, pro-military, Neutral, -1 Social, +3 Resolve, 1.5k. Loyal and Vigilant traits

Or an AI like “Vampire Samurai from the Stars” or something similar.

What do I like? I’m really feeling the Navigators and Krynn. Both have culture traditions I already did in Individualist (Terran) or Progressive (Phalenoids Advance). If I wanted to try something else I could do the Altarian’s Egalatarian or Torian’s Collectivists or Archeans’ Traditionalists. Or I could change the Navigators to Pacifism or else. Which do I feel would be best to win a Prestige game like I did in the Quick Start rather than by war? So “Vampire Samurai “or Krynn or Navigators?

I do have the first expansion purchased too, by the by…

Here are your winning conditions:

Conquest – Be the last one standing
Prestige - This is what I did in the Quick Game. Get a score of 100%
Time – Have the highest score when the game ends
Influence Victory – This is an option too.
Dip – Have an Alliance with all remaining powers

Since this is my first non-Quick Game, I’ll take Krynn or the Ascendancy rather than making my own.

Here’s what the AI Generated:



I like the Voidborne Clan concept. The game gave them the traits of +2 Brutal, -1 Clever, +1 Deceptive and Persuasive, Merciless and Expansionist traits, Totalitarian culture. I like them, and I save them for later. I also upload them to Steam’s workshop.

Alright, Krynn or Navigators? Let’s try Krynn since it’s a unique alliance and then will not give me progressive back to back empires.

[Abe Sargent]

The Krynn Syndicate:

Abilities:

-1 Military
+1 Rich and Productive
+2 Influential for influence growth

Traits:

Devout - +100 influence growth on planets, +1 Divine Empath on Homeworld, unlocks bunches of religious techs to research, starts with a Cleric and Krynnic Temple,

Bureaucrats - Starts with +50 control, allows a tech.

Galaxy Size - Small
# of Sectors – Binary
Occasional Stars and Habitable Planets and Extreme Planets and Researches

7 foes. I have chosen the random stuff at normal difficulty. Since I had a rough time with the Altarians last time in easy mode, I am force spawning them in normal.


Here’s our starting area:

[Abe Sargent]

Jan 2037 - You can read about them on the left, and see what my advisors are wanting to happen. As you can see, our lack of military is a weakness there too. Control is what you use for Executive Orders. Those include grabbing the stellar dishes and directing them to speed up scouting or printing money to make 500 cash, many with disadvantages. See that 90? That’s my control. To direct satellites would take 15 control and have a 30 month cooldown. It looks like I spawned near the border of the Sphere, with just one star to our left. I spend 15 control to direct my dish at the nearby area and uncover a class 34 world in the Hoth system to my left. I order my Colony Ship there.

I order my Starbase to build a Colony Ship. There are smaller worlds that are called Colony with a class less than 10 that you do not control, but this will be a Core World. You start with some colony worlds in your home system we’ll keep up. In order to make a Core World work you have to hire a Colony Manager leader. I order my flagship to research an artifact for 6 months. See that glowing in that Asteroid Belt? That tells me that’s a rare Durantium Mine and if I build a Mining StarBase we’ll bring it in. I order my Probe west to the star there and I find two Colony World planets with small classes to Colonize later.

When you build production on your planet it’ll come with pollution. But when you mine Asteroid Belts or other Colony Worlds that add to it, it doesn’t.

On my homeworld of Kryseth I have the Krynniac Temple, and then I order a Capital City which increases all adjacent hexes by +1 each. Then an Industrial Center which can only be built once/civ will give me +12% manufacturing and next door +2 and then boosted pollution, four months, and then a Captial Mainframe to boost Research for 3 months to build and gives +20% research and adjacent hexes +3 research.

I order researched Imperial Doctrine for 2 months to unlock the Civ screen

I pass the turn.

Feb – The Leader screen unlocks. I start with a free leader I didn’t hire with these stats: INT – 5, SOCIAL – 6, Diligence - 3; Resolve – 9. I will write that that as 5/6/3/9 future. Social is good for running colonies. I have three leaders free. I have free Ministers of Exploration, Colonizing and Tech free. I spend 254 to hire a level 10 INT for them, and then 246 for a Minister of Exploration with 8 diligence. Our Probe finishes exploring the system to our left and I order it south

Mar – We finish the Imperial Doctrine tech. Next is Armed Shuttles for 4 months which gives us two free Warships. I can head to the Civ screen with one open Civ and I take “Heart of the Empire” that increases my HW Income and Prestige by 10%. I can also update my taxes here. Right now we are Medium

Our Military Advisor found an inoperable ancient relic that is supposed to have an upgradeable thing that will hurt opposing armor. I start a mission to survey anomalies

April – Hoth II is colonized, I name it Hoth Hostel. We get a planetary event whenever we colonize a new Core World, this time it’s what I want to send my children too. I can make them Soldiers, Scientists or Entertainers. One free will be made. I choose the last since it’ll help our Individual Culture track advance.

I spend 331 to hire and assign a 8 societal Governor. I order here a Capital City, and then a Planetary Generator for 17 months and before that we’ll need a spacedock to build Colony Ships, so that’s 19 turns first.

The south star of Procyon has nothing to Colonize, so I order my Probe to auto-explore

May – Armed Shuttles tech is done, next is Research Districts to let us build those for 5 months
July – Our Colony Ship is done in our homesystem, I load them up and send to the best Class Colony world we have. Krysteth Gamma in our homesystem is just class 2. Our Flag ship finished a Anomaly and we get an Explorer Vessel recovered and there is a Core World in the Hoth System uncovered. I redirect my Colony Ship there. My next survey will take 6 months

Aug – All of my buildings in Kryseth are built! Next I order 2 Research Districts for 21 months.

Sept – Research Districts done, next is Alien World Studies for 5 months to increase housing on planets.

I can get a new culture and I take the first Individualist called Independence which gives me a free Flagship called the Independence and 15 fewer from colonies cost. I send the flagship to invest an anomaly that should take 4 months.

Oct – We colonize Hoth I which I call Hoth Hothouse. We find vast water underground here and I direct it to farming and gain +1 food here. I hire a governor for 382 with 8 social and then order here a Shipyard for 20 and a generator for 14 and Financial District for 33

We come across the Altarians and we cannot speak since we don’t have the right tech. I start a quest to research it.

Nov – We come across the Torians

Dec – We finish our tech, next is the Universal translator for 6 months; we build a colony ship and send to Krysth Gamma again. I order another built.

[Abe Sargent]

Jan, 2308 – I finish 2 surveys and start another for 6 months and 4; I find a powerful beam weapon and grab it as an artifact and one that increases a ship’s defense by 15. We colonize Gamma, I discover a nearby Antimatter mine at a black hole and Elerium near a Nebula.

May – New colony ship done, I order it to Beta. We finish our tech, next for 8 months is Xeno Biology to increase our living space. I finish our mission and gain 10 culture. I order another Colony Ship and then a Construction ship for a Starbase

I finish the 4 month survey and we found a former Defensive Starbase and then we get a Missile Launcher I send to my scientists. That starts a mission to research Dual stage detonations

I talk to the Torians and Altarians. The latter doesn’t want to trade 1 for 1 techs. With the former I trade the UT and R districts for their Space Elevators to build them and Xeno Factories to improve them.

June – I colonize Beta. We finish surveying an asteroid and gain +15% minerals for a year

Aug – Colony Ship done I send west to Quendor II

Sept – I can choose a new Independence tradition:

Self-Determination – 3 leaders join us and those with our type get +3 boosts,

Private Property Rights – Unlocks Entrepreneurship specialization and planets get an extra orbital upgrade slot

I don’t have much money now, I am gaining 2 so three leaders is nice. I unlocked the Minister of Tourism. I don’t have good social skills, so one could help us out. I do the leader one, I grabbed a free 10 gab, and a 5 one too. Do I waste the 10 here instead of a new Colony leader? I give it the 5. I am making another cash

Oct – I colonize Quender II.

Nov – My Construction in Kryseth is done, next is Manu district for 3, Fin for 5, Labs 5 too. The Hoth hostel shipyard is built, I order here a Con Ship

Dec – Xeno Biology done, next is Asteroid Mining for 3 months to give us those, the Hothouse Shipyard is done, Con Ship here too.

I get a trade offer from Torians for Xeno Biology and I get three techs including the powerful Exotic World Colonization that increases what worlds we can grab and Space Weapons and Elite Command Draft.

I can choose a new Civ policy and I grab Research Grants to drop my cash by 10% to 2 but Research increases by +20%.

[Abe Sargent]

Jan, 2309 – Survey done – I get Xeloxi Smuggler Crash, I can either sell them supplies for 300 cash or get them to settle on Hoth Hostel with two new people, we have 2 there of 4. Get cash early is great, and two free settlers is great too. I choose the 300 cash

[Abe Sargent]

Hello all! Looks like I was so into this dynasty that I forgot snap some pics. Let’s do that now!

Here’s my homeworld zoomed in:



The plus signs are Terraformed open areas I can build into it. You can see the population to the left, the buildings I can build to the right, and the basics like tourism, production, approval or pollution. The sigils on my open hexes are the boots for that hex. For example, the gear next to the Leaf is good for Manufacturing.

Here’s Hoth Hothouse, my 2nd colony:



The production here is much lower as is approval. I have the financial and happiness districts being built here. Nice!

Now let’s look at the map:



We are in the north and left. You can see the Torian Hoth Hostel next to our stuff. To our right is the Torians and south are the Altarians.

Here’s the northern sector:



The Drengin took out the Yor in the North and have grabbed Earth from the Terrans, in the south.
