I almost never trade away Logistics. That's a war tech. Actually logistics is a tech to trade away as quick as possible! Yes it is a war tech but the AI generally researches this tech pretty quick, so you should sell it while you still can.... going going gone!

You mean this game has audio? No, i dunno, i mean propper music, this issue not related to the game. If this doesn't do the trick, post back and I will give you some further things to do in the Creative software. <

TECH Tree I like the tech tree. Agree science is way too fast, i use the slowest science setting and wish it could be much slower! Ship designs is a different matter, good planning and strategy overcomes your problems with that. Ship battles - i don't see the need to participate. What i do hate is the luck factor in combat, it is wa

Reply to Early Economic Crash, Need advice in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

The economy is naturally set to self destruct at the early stages of the game, that is normal. What i like to do to help my economy is to research all the trade techs first up, (swap them for other techs i need later on) and get my trade routes up and running quick smart. At first i do not build anything on planets i colonise. I ignore them untill my finances turn green then i start developing my capitals first, alomg with any bonus squares. next i will start building markets

especially when you consider the time value of money Normally yes, ingame no. You get no benefit from your savings over time, the only thing that happens is an economic penalty from having too much money. May as well put your money to work in economic starbases, at least it is doing somthing better than nothing. Yes military starb

The headphone output can sometimes give you very different quality than the speaker outs. Where you cd player was designed with headphones in mind, soundcards like regular stereos can give you subpar performance due to their focus on enhancing main speaker output. Yea sounds about rite, guess i got lucky with the soundcard in my old computer

in other words time doesn't exist it is just here to keep everything from happening at the same time I like this statement. because if your outside of time, yes, everything has already happened and nothing has happened, both at the same time ... 'time'?? hmm wrong concept hehehe

Reply to soundblaster card = crap music in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Just what sort of speakers do you have? It could be their fault. the brand is 'Philips', they are the kind used for walkmans etc, they go in your ear. The base output of these speakers is fantastic on my portable cd player, good on my other old pentium4 computer and horriffic on the AMD computer with the soundblaster card. <br/

soundblaster card = crap music in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Hi I dunno if it is just a sickness of my AMD computer but the base output is crapola. At first i was using the motherboard sound output for my earpiece speakers, but that was just rediculous, i could output better sounding base using a needle and a piece of A4 paper! So i went and bought myself a nice sounblaster card thinking that would fix the problem. I was stunned at how little difference it made. Distorted the speakers like crazy too. Do soundblaster cards not bother havi

Reply to What does conquering planets mean in Dark Avatar? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I havn't seen any posts mentioning that it dousn't still happen. It sounds reasonable not to kill all the population... However, since it is possible to move all of a planets population onto a transport, why wouldn't all of a planets population be used in combat? alternatively, perhaps some kind of planitary surrender mechanism could solve the problem?

I enjoy debates, but this is not the place for one. I would ask that further discussion on this topic be relevant to Dark Avatar, and that further debate be moved to the Off Topic forum. The grand admiral has spoken! Normally i would agree but this post is quite old and would otherwise be forgotten if not for me and Starstriker. <

because energy does not exist without time. How so? Energy is the capacity for doing work. Doing the actual work may require time, but the capacity itself would not rely on time. You have to decide what you believe happens when time is removed. What makes sense to me is that by all definitions, matter, ligh

TGE, I'm no theist, much less a monotheist, but I have to scoff your scoff. AFAIK, if you want to play formal cosmology games, theists are roughly as likely as atheists to win a given bout. To top that, no small number of polytheists, pantheists, animimsts, etc., think the one-god and no-god crowds are seriously missing the big picture. Wha

Some game files are saved in 'my documents/games/galciv...". I think they remain in place when you reinstall the game. Try deleting all the files you don't need in the above mentioned directory and see if that works?

To continue my post... Take Motor racing for example, there are countless numbers of factors that can determine if any particular car gains or looses a few seconds. But when that pace car comes out, all those influences no longer proceed to affect the destiny of the race. only if they contributed to the event of 'passing' do they continue to play a part. The same thing aplies to the whole universe in general, people think every little event affects the destiny of the universe forever mo
