Have you tried click-dragging? Between that and jumping to where I want to go on the mini-map I don't even notice diagonal scrolling missing anymore. Tony

Reply to Gamespot gives GalCiv2 a 9.0! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Does anyone know the last time a PC game got a 9.0 or better on Gamespot? Highest ranked recent games on Gamespot: Civ IV- 9.4 Battlefield 2- 9.3 Guild Wars- 9.2 F.E.A.R- 9.1 Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas- 9.0 Brothers in Arms, Road to Hill 30- 9.0

Reply to Gamespot gives GalCiv2 a 9.0! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Wow, in the Tilt Category (reviewers personal slant), he gave it a 10! They also gave it an Editors Choice Award, and said it has that "something" extra that seperates a good game from a Hall of Famer. I'd have to agree. Tony

You guys that want to vote C are not going to win with your current tactics. You need to start trading some techs and cash for Influence Points. Maybe Stardock can put a vote into a future patch/update. Make it an in-game Galactic Council vote. lol I think I have been playing too much. . . . Tony

Personally, I really like Civ IV. For me it's the best one yet. I understand the Stardock guys and the Firaxis guys chat from time to time and enjoy each others' work. Tony

Reply to The first sales figures are in! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Congratulations, guys! You deserve it. One reason this copy protection plan (none) will probably work for this game is the anticipated updates and bonuses that will be released along the way. Folks will need to register to get the goodies. Unlike some developers, we know Stardock will actually release goodies down the road. Tony

Reply to Patch and CE stuff downloads... broke? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

To verify your CE stuff, go to the shipyard/ship builder. Look under the "Extras" tab, and there should be some items all called "Special Structure". Their description will say they are CE items. Tony

Reply to Will there be a strategy guide? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

One problem with a printed strategy guide for a game like this is the game is evolving and changing. Stats of ships or techs can change with updates. The mechanics of how things work may be changed over time through updates. What to write about is a moving target. Tony

It sounds like things are going ok. Yes, you can build starbases in other races territory, but they usually don't like it. I'm suprised no one else has built on the that resource yet as the AI tends build on them quickly. As you get upgraded factorys, markets and so on tech, your existing ones should get updated automatically. No need to replace them. Start wokin

Reply to Where can I find patch readmes for 1.0D1? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Is there an updated manual? This is the first mention I have seen of one. Tony

Reply to Gal Civ and Ordering Online in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Stardock only has the CE version in stock, so yes, if you order from them, that is what you will get. The Bonus Pack was to be just for pre-orders, but has not been incorporated into the basic patches. If you order the CD from Stardock, you can also download and start playing right away. Tony

Reply to Ship Combat Question in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Have you read the manual? Page 48. It states fleets will target the most lethal but easily destroyed ship first. Attack and defense rolls are based on the fleet's stats, and hit points are based on individual ships. In practice, it works pretty good. Tony

Reply to Adding new techs to existing ship designs in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Are you sure you are trying to modify your custom hull designs? It is my understanding that you can't change the "core" designs in the shipyard. That is correct, you can only update user designs. To do that, enter the shipyard, select the design you want to update, and click upgrade. Now you can add or deleate whatever you want (as long as y

Reply to HEY! Stardock! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I like you ideas, but there are some workarounds you can use till when/if your suggestions are every implemented. You can start the Battle of Gods Scenario and have all techs available right away. You can then create and save designs for other games. You can already save the base blinged hulls as you suggest. Call the prototype something like Frigate I, or Frigate Prototype or whatever, then when you add weapons and so on in the game, call them Frigate Ia or whatever.<br/
