Reply to How come the nice in-game graphics in DL is not in Twilight of the Arnor?? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The graphics and textures in TA are much, much better than those in the original Dread Lords release. If you're not seeing high detail textures you either have some graphics settings turned off or are experiencing some other kind of technical problem.

Reply to Will we see Twilight of the Arnor in stores? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Shelf real estate is expensive and TA's a niche game. I think more and more the PC game market's going to move to digital distributions. The Gamestop/EBgames people seem to be doing everything they can to drive PC games out of brick and mortar stores altogether.

Reply to What if SD goes belly-up? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'd like to think that any respectable online distributor (and Stardock is certainly that) would, in the event of their untimely corporate demise, release the activation stipulations on their games.

The AI is significantly improved in TA, time to drop down a difficulty level or two. :D

Sorry to hear about the sting. Since you keep honey bees, do you have any ideas on why they seem to be disappearing in the wild?

[quote]I did uninstall and delete the proper directories and reinstalled. The create custom opponents and create custom ship styles are still greyed out. Also seems if I run through the setup screens then back out to the main menu the Metaverse and Tournaments buttons are greyed out. I have to restart the game to get them back.[/quote] Another "me too" for this symptomatology.

Carl Sagan was a singularly fantastic voice. If you found the video interesting, you'd probably be well served to have a look at his other work.

Reply to What do like most about Twilight of the Arnor in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

The tech trees, and the resultant improvements and ship components, are probably the single most major new feature IMO. Then again, no feature is worth much of anything if there's not a kick ass AI to play the game with...

[quote]Uninstalled, deleted directory, purged the lot, re-installed via SDC, button still greyed out. Going back to "Pick Your Civilisation Screen" as described earlier in the thread still works for me if I select the Custom Icon, and I can still attach the required Custom attributes. Then on the last screen the Custom Icon is in the opponents list and I can select and use. "Create Custom Opponent button" on last screen still greyed out when doing the 'workaround'.RegardsZy[/quote] D

Reply to CTD after Alt-Tab in Twilight of Arnor in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Run it windowed (uncheck "full screen" in options) and you won't have that problem, GC2's never been a stable alt-tab game in full screen. You can even run "windowed" with your full screen resolution and the game will [i]look[/i] full screen but allow you to tab back and forth smoothly.

Yup, just saw Cari's post myself.

To verify: The only component that needs to be uninstalled is the actual TA beta, DA and DL can just be updated from their current state, correct?

Reply to Lack of Multiplayer in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

MP provides "staying power" for a select group of people, those with a large amount of gaming time to spend in large blocks that happens to coincide with the gaming time available to other people with whom they enjoy playing. To say that a minority of gamers fit this category would be a laughable understatement. To the rest of us, a game that has been developed solely for single player and as such has the best AI and the most versatility possible for a game of its type has [i]massively[/i] more
