Reply to Update next week in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It isn't a washing machine, it didn't come with a guaranty. It is a game, it comes with support from good people, and as Kyro said they did tell you at the time of release that it was going to be sometime in June before they would get to the first patch. Hey look, its June and they did it just like they said. Grow up Flux, learn about reality. Your washing machine would go to the shop, where some nitwit repairman would screw it up worse, you would have to take it back and this would go on for mo

Reply to Update next week in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I quess I must be stupid. For hundreds of thousands of years, technology sat stagnant in the galaxy. Nobody designed anything new. Then fifty or so years ago, the Arceans give the Terrans the blueprints for a Stargate. After fifty years of research the Terrans come up with the Hyperdrive. Now people are bitching because it takes them more than two years to research their entire tech tree. The only bug I see here are the ants in yer pants. Good research takes time and money. If you need the high

Reply to Please slam my game in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]1. Maybe this has already been fixed, if so, apologies... but one thing that always has irked me is when I place a constructor, getting ready to build a new starbase, I have to gestimate it's area of influence. I try to place my starbases so that the effect covers the maximum possible number of planets. So many times I find that one planet is just a shade outside the area of the new starbase's influence. Sure would be nice if I had an option for the constructors to show a light circle aro

Reply to Twilight--No Box--False Advertising in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Funny thing happened the other day. I live in Phoenix, and it was 108 deg. outside. So I fiqured I'd chew a piece of Dentyne Ice and a sheet of ice would envelope me, a minor blizzard would show up and a really hot chick would pick up on me, and I would have a great day. It always happens that way in the ad right, and we know ads don't lead us on, truth in advertizing and all that. And yet, no ice, no blizzard and even worse no hot chick. Just one fat sweaty old me with crappy gum, and yet I nev

Reply to Korx are lame in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I know what you mean. In my present game (recently started, not much happening,, expansion phase just kicking in)the Korx just surrendered to the Thalan (like they ever need help getting more planets). The Torians are on one side of my glorious empire and the Korx were on the other side, for one to get to the other they would have to traverse through me. The Torians declared war on the Korx, around ten rounds later the Korx fold, the Torians were just too much for them. Not one ship from either

Reply to Technology for Advanced Battle Station Module in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

It is in the Arcean Tech Tree, under the Advanced Battle Stations Tech. In the ship editor it is found in the modules section. It might be in another races tech tree, but I didn't see it anywhere else in my spot check of tech trees. If you aren't playing as an Arcean and you haven't traded for Advanced Battle Station Tech, then you got it by glitchcraft. (Beware my friend, many races don't tolerate glitchcraft, they may just burn you at the stake.)

Reply to Mega Event List *Spoiler* in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Another "normal event" is just like the I-League and the Jagged edge, they are the Fundamentalists. I sometimes play as a real xenophobe and hold to my home system. The fundamentalists "revolted" and took planets from everyone, including two from me. I only had two...game over. That sucked.

Reply to Turning off your computer in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

With my old computer, it was on if I was home. Now, with my new computer, it's on only when I am home and awake. Why did they decide that the power buttons on the monitor and the computer need to be be made with laser blue lights that could illuminate a city block? Sure it's a studio apt. but if I leave it on I don't need to use any lights at night, at all! It is ridiculous. They are so bright I can't even see the time projected on my ceiling by my alarm clock (also blue, but much less intense).

[quote]Try the Kzinti.[/quote] Well, I checked out their den. It would be a bit of an ethical problem. I am looking for a logo and race images, more than an empire to join. I found no mods searching under the word Kzinti or Kilrathi either. But thanks for the suggestion.

Feline Races in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Greetings, I have noticed a lack of feline races. I tried to use some Thundercat stuff I have but Vista and Firehand Ember 3.???? are not very compatible it seems. If someone could assemble such a package I would be thankfull. Also I guess it is time to update my imaging software and Firehand is a dead company. Any suggestions in the $50 - $70 dollar range? Of course cheaper to free is always acceptable. On a further side thought, being male I find pixilated female i

Reply to Fundamentalists took it all in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Indeed... I love that word.(Spock thing). But seriously, with the ability to only activate one Mod, I have modded the mod that I modded the mod of, and then modded that. Now I am no expert in code, or the like, as I wish not to end up in prison from hacking, to curious about things and how they work and then there are those tweaks that would make it better and ooops that didn't work, what do you mean I crashed the Glactanet. But do you think my 1500% economic inherited ability or my 750% militar

Fundamentalists took it all in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

So I started a gigantic galaxy with rare everthing, 8 minors, 9 majors and myself. Things are going smooth, everyone is warring for the few worlds there are. My plan was going oh so well, let them fight to exhaustion and thn pounce . My two worlds were 100% happpy as you can be. Then the Fundamentalists Mega event swept though, announced they had taken some planets and they were looking forward to working with me. So I check to see what I had to conquer back and found I had nothing but a mining

Reply to How do I use Espionage? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I just stockpile spys till I have 50 or so then smother the opponent with about 40 of them, replace the ones that get nullified with the leftovers an in about 6 to 8 turns you will have gained advanced knowledge and pull them all out. Build up again and hit the next guy. I just wish I could use them on the minor races, the ones that appear later in the game always seem to have the leading edge tech.

Greetings Human. They'll sell me their planets, their tech, their influence and their women. Why won't they sell me their map data? Actually they don't sell their women , but the UP insists there is a slave market tht needs to be stopped. How about the UP giving notice about the upcoming vote so I could consult and persuade the other members prior to the vote? And lastly, I want to be the pirate, bargaining with the races for ports of call for repairs and new vessels. Show me a nati
