+ Terran Alliance will build defenders with no weapons (not needed to keep invaders out). But with no weapons, any one shot wonder will take the defenders out making them useless. The attacker just has to get enough superior dice rolls to win with no chance of being destroyed itself. I would like t
If you left click on a planet it selects the planet, if you right click it moves the selected ship to the planet tile (invade). In 1.0x, I would occasionaly get a planet I could not select readily (owning that planet). A single click would be ignored and double click would bring up the planet view screnn (not what I wanted). I would have to click on that planet in the planet list pop-up to be able to "select" it from the main map. Once it
The other line of thought is a MC on a planet like that is not really needed. 700% + 100%x3 and you already have a production powerhouse. Put the MC there, and you still have one good production powerhouse. Let that planet be and build the MC on another planet without bonuses and 3-4 factories and you have another production powerhouse. Two manufacturing powerhouses might be better than one single uber planet. For a number of reason. 1. surplus shield waste 2. you can
I went to make a post a little while back to complain about empire placement. I was just tired starting out on the edge of the galaxy, often times in a corner. Rarely would I get would would appear to be a fair starting position. I had coped a tude and decided I WAS NOT GOING TO accept an edge start. if you start out closer to the center, you have all directions to explore (more anomalies), and more systems that might hold some sweetspots. But the
Everything seems to be fine. I started a normal game to see if working, and no problems. It does indicate the correct build. Map generation and initial turns (first 10) all ok too. I didn't notice any difference in game speed, but it is still early (in game and in rl lol) here is my pos: System Info Time: 4/12/2006, 06:52:49 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: ZIPPY Operating System: Wind
Na, they will just use GalCiv V, instead of Gal Civ 5. Gal Civ IIIIIX. How uniqure you wanna get? The year is 200BC and a precursor artifact was found giving the local inhabitants space faring technology. You must try and stop them from attaining orbital superiority over the flat earth!. Yes, it's what everyone has been waiting for! Gaul Civ 5 !!!!

I got a good laugh at the manual in that respect. It lists the trade goods and what they do, and the achievements and what they do, in the section titled "the details", which starts out "still not satisified? Fine, this section is for you"... And all the tech requirements are missing. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Laugh.gif" bord
well, guess 4 hrs was not too bad. When you release the final patch, will the whole thing have to be downloaded again? Or will you also have a smaller DL that updates the most recent beta? I also noticed an oddity while dling. After I started the Dl I returned to play on the fourms. I later clicked on the SDC box on the task bar and got both boxes pop-up. <br
I just made a post in another thread and got the blank forum screen (again). I waited a good 10 mins before even touching my desk (didn't want to bump anything). After no change to the screen i went back to the forum list, opened the thread again and my post was not there. Glad I had the foresight to copy it before submitting. This has happened a number of times tonight (am, wotever). Earlier when it would do that, internet exploder woul
Oh god no, please. Tactical combat, the way most games have it designed is not tactical at all. Space Empires 4 for example. The player with the faster ship wins unscathed, namely because it's one of the "my turn/your turn" set-ups. All I have to do is end my ship's turn one square out of range of the enemy. Lords of Magic SE had a great combat engine. It's a turn based game, but combat is real time and the AI deals with it quite nicel
Have you updated all your drivers? Perhaps it ran fine before with older drivers and something minor got changed that is having a drastic effect on your system. If you saw what I was playing 1.0x on you would laugh yourself silly. But it runs fine without a single ctd and the worst lag I have seen could be described as a slight slow-down and a little jerky (I like large C/C/O maps). I am Dling the beta right now. I hope it still works afte
Ok. I am running a below specs machine and have waited patiently for the final patch release (it's my only working computer and killing it terrifies me). I am about to get a new game started so I will do it ala beta since you feel that version is in the envelope but not stamped. Will let you know how it goes.
2. You think thats annoying, wait until you see the other things that happen 9or don't happen) when you load a save. 4. I get this too (however I have music turned off). It's not that the game crashed, it just takes a long time to load everything back onto the screen. If you see the black screen and your HD is running i would not worry about it rig
A PQ 11 planet will continue to grow (provided morale is good) to a population of 34.6b. So it's not only fine, you have a lot of room to go. The tiles that required soil enrichment will not be the same tiles that require habitat improvement. Also, there is a display bug that does not show the planet's correct PQ when you load a save (vaguely remember the details of that thread). but if you count the actual tiles you can build on, you sho
taking diplomatic translators (DT) as example. There is only going to be one building galaxy wide relating to DT. If you trade for DT you do not have to build anything to get the benefit, that is what you paid your $3.25 for. I got the impression you think that something still has to be built when you obtain a trade good through the diplomacy screen. This is not the case.
I have to disagree on one point. And thats galaxy size = more pop so pop gets the score. What if I chose to play a large galaxy, abundant everything, and played a type of occ (intentionally limiting myself to a single system). the larger the galaxy, the harder it would be. personally, I would only play that for the challange and not the score. But someone will. If it factored total galaxy population with your empire's population that mi
Well, good thing then my post regarding British humor got ate then (jk). You might an been slightly influenced by my post in the "how do I bug thee" thread. I was a bit more toung-in-cheek there and no one caught it (yet) even though I gave a couple of hints in it. no worries
I only have the one character. Didn't even notice the default button because it was shaded out. It turned blue when I clicked on it. thanks (hope that works anyway). guess default character is not the default setting when you only have one. lol
Same here. I just assumed they would show up after submitting a couple of more games. Two games not enough. but i also just saw someone wanting a 5 game medal and they had some already. just one more turn just one more game
So, you're saying you want an unfinished build? ah yes, more food. huh? How you got that idea out of my comment is really amazing. How old IS your glasses prescription?
I was thinking the same thing mementh. Turn the pirated copies over to whomever prosecutes the law where you are, and i'll get ya legit copy. Would not be the first time I bought a game for someone else. Glad to know you'll get your refund. I hope paypal persues it and shuts them down.
Star Dock, PLEASE DON"T RELEASE THE 1.1 PATCH! until it's ready. marcathonas, roflmsao
substandard? We should compare. LOL I likewise have had no problems. I have had one time the game shot to the desktop and simply "closed" itself. but that happened at exactly the same time my new HP printer decided it was a good time to ask me if I wanted to.... check for updates (go figure).
I don't know why they chose set amounts for a switch from your trend. I would think if you made all evil choices, the closer you got to total evil, the more it would cost to choose neutral. but it don't matter how nasty you are as long as you have a mere 2500. It wpuld make more sence to me to have it cost 2500 + 10 bc for each tick on the slider. But that brings up the other oddity (left over from cg1). Good choices (usually) move the
Yeah, I think core racial abilities need to be shown. It would eliminate the confusion. So you lose all "hidden" bonuses when playing a custom race, yet get the same amount of racial points to spend on non-hidden abilities? Why gyp custom race users
