Reply to Piracy & PC Gaming in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Far too many people seem to think that the newest shiny games won't run on their low to mid-range PC's. I have news for you. They will. Now, having said that, the drawback is quality. They can be down-right old looking when you scale everything down, but let me point out I can run Call of Duty 4 (Which uses the Unreal 3 Engine) on an AMD3000+ 64bit, with a GeForce 6600GT and 1GB of PC2700 ram, at medium settings and hit a nice stable 70fps. That aside; I work in a LAN gaming ce

Reply to HELP ME!!!!!!!!! VIRUES!!!!!!!! in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Your PC can't be "destroyed" by spyware, and quite frankly, it's user issues that allow spyware to get on in the firstplace. Conversely, don't download porn, or hack programs/tools, game cheats, cracks, etc etc, and if you have NO choice, virus scan them thoroughly first. What is that old tech anecdote? Error exists between computer and chair?

Reply to AI getting worse in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not even quite sure what it means. I'm assuming it reads "Whenever I'm conquering an AI opponent, he isn't replacing his ships well enough and I can generally mass transports against him instead of more ships of my own". In return, On small galaxies/medium, this can occur often as most people can't build back up quickly with 5-6 planets mid-war after getting everything destroyed. This isn't "bad AI", rather the fact that you've crippled his military.

Reply to What would you pay good money for in an expansion? (The unofficial inquiry) in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

More realistic fleet and ship options. Increased importance on ships Larder ship classes with exponentially longer build times, and overall civilization logistics that limit the amount of larger ships you can have. A feature seen in moo2 that didn't affect the game in any way at all. but one that affects it would be cool. Better naming Fighter-class ships with hidden build numbers (They don't say Star Fury 991 in babylon 5 for instance) Carrier c

Pleasant guy. See the same type in my workplace day in, day out (I manage a LAN Gaming Center). Someone always thinks they can do things better, or they know someone who has, and won't see reason, and gets abusive about it.

Only until I realised I hadn't forced a cache reload, and it's all good now. Control+F5 is, indeed, your friend.

Reply to GalCivII - Good game, shame about the details in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Indeed, Quitch has many good points; But fortunately (for the most part; I agree with the Economy being a little grey) they're mostly minor annoyances, not game-breakers. The main problem for me is also the UI. It's pretty rather than functional which is always a shame. Still, it beats the heck out of Moo3, and for that I can forgive it.

Reply to Good reviews, bad reviews.. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I know one of PCZones freelance reviewers (Michael Filby) - He endorses the review by jolt, who he also reviews for; Who, ironically, gave the game 90%. GalCiv2 is the best looking, most advanced game in its genre (4x Space Games) and easily the only TBS pushing Civ4 for the crown of best turn based strategy. What on earth were PCZones reviewers on?
