Reply to Ugly Aliens? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

well, for the same reason we sometimes have trouble identifying animals without unique indetifying features we can easily use (such as tail spots on whales, etc, but even then thats what scientists use) and we have our own subtle identifying features, aliens would have identifying features of thuer own that they can easily observe but we can't observe very well. That and the designers can't really make thousands of different individual pics for the same species.

Reply to !!!!OMG!!!! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

not in the demo, you can only play as the Terrans in the demo. but in the full game, I know you can do whatever race you want, even make custom races not sure about the stats thing though.

Reply to You boys and girls are going to have to upgrade the server that hosts this forum .... in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

also, the forums don't update the threads when someone has recently posted in them say like 5 minutes ago and its still not up near the top of the board and instead it takes like a half hour or more sometimes for it to update those threads. every forum I've been to puts the newest posts at the top of the board immediately, while there is an annoying delay here of well, a long time....

the diplomacy part of the AI is better in GalcivII (in the demo at least, I'm sure its revamped in the main game through patches, etc) and I find that its more interactive and somewhat more feedback.

early shipbuilding tips/strategies? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

in that newbies guide MKII, they said: FAST COLONIZER - In the ship designer, pick a cargo hull. Put a colony module on it and as many engines as you can make fit. If there is room left over, put on life support modules. This is the ship you'll send to planets near the other civs. Hopefully you can beat them there. There's nothing more frustrating than sending

Reply to Can we colonize planets in systems with no hab planets in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think so, even in the demo you can't colonize class 0 planets which are uninhabitable. it makes sense because some of those class 0 planets are gas giants. although, I wish I could have some kind of mining station to use to put on those class 0 planets, even if they are uninhabitable, they could still have useable resources. but right now, you just can't and the closest thing would be if a space resource happens to be in or pretty close to a star system with no habitable plane

Reply to Forum Software is some sort of abstract hellscape. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

1. Fix the quote function. There is nothing wrong with the quote function. Highlight the text you want to quote, hit quote, voila, quote added to post. Yes, but in ALL other fourms I have been too, the Quote button simply quoted every work in the post you pressed it on. And since thats the way it usually work thats the way people expect it to work

is there a way to keep saved hull designs from messing up when you use a different hull style? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

this is likely a problem only with the demo, but when I design something for say the Terran hull, but then in the next game switch to Drengin hull (which is pretty cool actually) and get to the techs that I get the ship at, it does show up, but its all messed up and the jewlery is all scrambled around. So is there a way to keep saved ship designs unique to that hull type because otherwise it gets all messed up.

is there anyplace that shows all of the race hulls? (I have the demo atm) in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm just curious as to what the other racial hulls look like because in the demo while I can see the Drangin, Terran, and Altarian racial hulls, I can't see the Torian or Yor hulls. So is there anyplace I can look at the individual hulls? I'm curious because I have an idea for a custom race and even though I'll probably be using Kryo's shipbuilder mod when I get the game for my B-Day on June 2nd anyway I'm not sure if I'll use the racial hulls only or what, and I'm curious in general.

Reply to do cheats work on the demo in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

*wonders whats with the ppl doing accidential double posts . nothing against you, its just a wierd forum* since the demo doesn't have all the stuff that the full game has, makes sense that the game cheats wouldn't work for the demo. I don't know of any demo cheats, but if there are some, that would be cool because then I can explore the shipbuilder some more <img src="http://images.stardock.com
