Fishing village was a cool map. As you say a real nail biter. No Chryssalid corpses though. I wish there were more like it. Getting bored towards the end. (as usual) Somehow they need to capture that beginning anticipation and continue it through the whole game. When you start you have a weapon that could kill the alien but chances are you are going to miss. Do you take that low % shot or duck for cover. Later you know you are going to hit but you also know you

Mass suicide. Never, has a game made me curse and question my decision making to this extent. After getting over the loss of my best heavy solider, I was forced to take 3 rookies, along with my newly promoted squad site sniper, to an abduction mission. First rookie moved and uncovered 3 sectoids. All dashed into half cover too far to grenade. Took the furthest one out with my sniper. Moved second rookie up for better shot. Took out second sectoid.

Not Funny. 2 months in classic iron man all second wave options apart from damage roulette. My Corporal heavy (97 offense) took a crit 9 from a thin man, I can see you but you can't see me. So gutted, I just glared at my monitor for 10 mins.

I like the idea of blind tech research. Knowing future techs does nothing for game immersion. 4000bc Tribal thinker. "Chief, I have invented this cool new way to build houses. I call it Wattle and daub" Chief "Yea.., It's good but... looking at these future techs, I think it would be wise to skip the mud and sticks, bypass the timber and go straight for the bricks and mortar. Oh, and w

I read somewhere that Brad didn't write the worker functions for the AI in Twilight. He only wrote the AI logic. Where in the previous titles he wrote all of the AI. Twilight was definitely the weaker AI.

This BUG has been annoying me for a while. Miners not auto mining. I have searched the forums, found similar problems but no definite fix. Example scenario. 3 mines near home planet. Set miner to auto mine. Miner goes off and mines the asteroids. After a while message "miner xyz cannot f

[quote who="mittens" reply="2" id="1928275"]What do you mean by "no save?" As in the functionality to save a specific governor out for later use isn't in or when you save your game the governor list isn't retained when you load it back up? [/quote] The ability to save a governor for later. This is what I mean. As The Watcher states it would be really useful to be able to load previous lists. Another slightly annoying quirk. If you colonise a planet the same turn a

Checking out the planetery governor. Project order can be altered now and works as per order. Still no save though. But, If you start a new game from within a game, it is not cleared. Clearing causes a CTD.

missing something obvious.. having created a Govenor build list how do I tell colonies to follow it? Go to the planet in question, select details, select govenor. A drop down list will appear. Request; can we have the "Govenor build list" selectable from the colony screen please.

Planet govenor order build queue bug ? Cannot alter the order of the list. Reverts back to the order it was clicked in. e.g. click - moral, factory, econ. Will build econ, factory, moral but you want - factory, moral ,econ. Built in that order. Altering the order doesn't work. You have to click - econ, moral, factory. Does that make sense or am I confused (probably) ? Also , I had hoped you wou

Anyone know how the planetry govenor is supposed to work ?[e digicons]8(|[/e] I don`t seem to be able to alter the build queue order . It reverts back to the order you click when creating a queue. I sort of hoped it would be selectable from the colony managment screen.[e digicons];P[/e]

Starbases are really annoying to upgrade period. They are one of a few narks of gal civ2. imo Micro nightmare. They should be like the trade routes, set up a logistics route to ferry goods and equipment. When new technology becomes available for the starbase, upgrade (optional) with the next ferry. At a cost. The further away the longer it takes. Etc. I hate the starbase micro nightmare so much I have stopped using them. Steps off soap box, goes b

After several frustrating games of TA I have abandoned it. I have gone back to DA. Haven't played DA since the first TA beta. Although I miss all the good new features of TA, I have to say that DA plays so much better. Everything seems quicker paced. The AI seems more agressive (but dumber). The economy is easier, which means you can go to war much sooner without worrying about going bust. The tech trees arn't broke. ;) It just seems more fun. <

In my current game interstellar governments started off as 155 rp. I researched up the research path then returned to governments. Now interstellar governments cost 415 rp. I had a 40% research bonus. Started a new game with no research bonus.

I've had it once or twice. The last time was with a space miner not moving. This is what happend; Space miner goes into standby. (no more asteroids) Move miner off asteroid, so you can redirect flow. Put miner into standby. Research next mining tech. End turn. Missing turn button. Space miner has auto path but doesn't move. Clicking stop auto on space miner sends miner off on auto. Turn button reappears.
