I have the same problem as 5 and I started with 3A. I thought it was just that it wasn't fully fleshed out...

Reply to Stability in GalCiv beta 3A in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

This is the first beta version that I've been able to play with (due to screen issues on my end, not yours). Once I get to the game its impressively stable. My problem is it keeps hanging as it starts. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it, for the first start, and the next time I start the game it hangs. I'd send you an error log, but it doesn't seem to load anything to give a log for... But the game itself is really stable ;)

Reply to Why Fullscreen Only? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I'm looking forward to a windowed version since I can't play the game right now. My laptop screen only does 800x600 (:(

Display in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just finished installing and trying to play the game. I've already run across a potentially big problem (at least for me). I searched the past posts and found that the screen size is 1028x768. I'm assuming this is fixed. The problem is, I have a laptop that has a 800x600 screen resolution. I can enlarge it to 1028x768 and scroll the screen for games that require that res. It doesn't appear that I can do this with GalCiv however. My screen is clipped and the only thing I can do is start

Reply to Gamespy interview in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No no no! Now Now Now! ;) On another, less childlike note :) , I must comment on the new trailer. NICE! I have to say that I don't like the options for viewing it. I don't want to pay to d/l it. But it still looks cool, even in the smaller window. How do the screenshots they have posted compare to what it looks like now? And I definitely like the dialog choices. "My yacht has need of a new coat of paint and the crushed bodies of your people will make a lovely

Reply to Gamespy interview in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Wow! I agree. Like I've said before, I don't play a lot of games online against people, so I don't get those kind of interactions. Having them would make a HUGE difference in immersion in the game world. So how much longer do we have to wait? ;)

Reply to Movement: What do you guys think? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have to agree with it being a good idea and adding to the tactics. I played a demo of Starships Unlimited (I think it was) that had this type of ship speed varient. In it your ships also had a certain amount of cargo they could take on the trip too, so you had to pay attention to how far you could go with that ship. That was a little too much, but trying to run your little pathetic ship away from a huge enemy ship or trying to move your suped-upped colony ship to a planet first definitely a

Gamespy interview in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I just wanted to say, nice interview. Its good to see you getting press, and good press at that. As to the previous AI thread, I like how you threw that bit in there about showing AI. You're killing me though, I can't stand all this waiting for it to be finished ;)

Reply to AI coding...oh the pain in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I personally think a good AI is a good thing. I don't play games online for the most part, so AI is very important to me. I absolutely hate games that are intended to be played online and the single-player mode is an after thought, and thus usually cheats and takes the fun out of the game. As for reviews, I hardly ever read them. I look at what people (ie the players) say about the game. This is where a good AI will help you. People will talk about the challenge of a game, and no

Reply to Citizen Zeitgeis requests alpha in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am also interested in joining the Alpha. I bought my subscription to Drengin in anticipation of this game (not that Corporate Machine was not worth it too). My only question is as to how much time is required. I unfortunately have to take my work home with me a lot of nights, but I am willing to devote my weekends and as much other free time as I can and post frequently ;) Thanks!
