I agree, take your time and release it in Jan. time frame. Also, most people get gift cards and money for Christmas these days. Now they can spend that money on a copy of GCII TA
SWEET .... Looking forward in trying all these new features ...
I got the time ... I'll just start a new game and wait for the email ...
email? I ordered it at the beginning of the month .. So, you are saying I'll be getting a serial number for the add-on pack sent in a email tonight?
SWEET .... Looking forward to its release .... Also, I need a reason to call in sick ...
I'm very happy with the beta 2. Looking forward to beta 3 ... and the multi player part of the game. Good internet play will make this game shine ...
I see some pretty screen shots. So, I figure I'll add one myself so I wouldn't feel left out. This is a screen shot from the gaming I'm playing now. It's again 4 AIs .. One of them I just killed off. I'm in the process of sending ships to the other star system. Their is a total of 3 star systems and I aliased up with one. Now I'm in the process of attacking the enemy. <br
After playing a few games of sins. You will need to send support ships to attack the pirates. Four or five ships should be able to kill off the pirates. So, you can take it over and start mining the resources.
I agree, the auto saving feature is a good idea. It should be a setting in the options area to set the interval when it auto saves the game.
MS Vista is still too new for gaming IMO ... Most drivers like sound and video still need work. MS Vista is a good OS, but still needs work too. I've beta tested it and have a copy of MS Vista ... I still haven't installed it. I'm waiting for SP1 and better video drivers. MS WinXP Pro w/SP2 is the OS for gaming .... If you have a new laptop from HP or Dell computers ... Call tech support and request a copy of MS WinXP Pro... If they don't want to give a
Improvements, like this is always a plus in my book ...
Hi, You might think about waiting a little longer. What are your plans and what type CPU you planning on getting? The type of CPU you get will make a big difference .. If you are going to low cost, but good value ... I would get a AMD CPU ... the new AM2 socket .. If you do that you will need new memory DDR2 ... You should be using SATA 2 hard drives So you will be dropping around $800 - $1000 US dollars .. Asus mot
Hi ALL. For TBS games it GC2 ... On the RTS game I'm been playing a game called Spring. It's a GNC open source RTS game based around TA. A game worth trying IMO ....
I think MS Vista is a step forward. In the coming weeks the drivers will get release and most will like it. MS Vista needs new hardware to run it, but CPUs,hard drives, video cards and other stuff is alot cheaper now. You can get a very nice system for under $700 not including a LCD monitor and MS Vista CD. I also like linux, but it's don't for gaming. I use Gentoo and I like it for work and studies. I would drop MS if a distro could run PC games without using wine.
Hi ALL, I figure, I'll join in on this thread. I prefer buying all the components myself and building the system. I've just upgraded a few months ago.

I agree too, the AI is great. I've been playing it more now due to the release of the beta GC2:DA .. Looking forward to the final release of GC2:DA ...
Hi, That info helped me fix my problem. Thanks again for the help.
Having the same issue. I just upgraded to a BFG 8800GTS video card. I still can play GC1 ... ?
I uninstalled all the older drivers and installed the latest Nvidia 97.44 Nforce drivers for the 8800 series . Still a no go ... I can play other PC games, but it looks like GC2 ... is more demanding then the other games I've be playing ... Looks like I'm going to have to wait for a solution from Nvidia or StarDock ... or install my other video card .. Looks like new is
