Well the main thing I'd ask (and like I said, I've not seen this problem and I've been playing the game a lot) is that we only know about problems that we experience or get reported by someone else. That is why we have lengthy public betas so that people playing the game in real world conditions can find these things out before there's a major new update. <br/
So.... DEVS..... any word? (realizes they're asleep at this hour, but expects a prompt answer when the clock strikes 'werkin time'! ) Do us a favor? squash this critter for good, maybe put down a few traps in case it's layed eggs... maybe even spray too.
Ok, so after the planet quality not being applied bug was fixed eons ago, it appears to be back again in V1.3. I selected +20% planet quality as one of my Civ traits, and low and behold when i start my game, earth says it's a class 12 planet, but only has 10 available tiles. This bug is back again!?!?! Please F'in kill this one for good!

I'm sure this has been posted about before, but it's one of my favorite things to do, so i thought i'd share how i do it in case others would like to do the same. The 2 games i'm talking about are Civilization 4 and Galactic Civilizations 2. I love combining the games back to back for an extended experience. For example i start out playing Civilzation 4, a good long marathon game. Starting out in the most ancient of times, building my civilzation on my CivEarth planet (whatever map t
looks like fun. it's not GCII, they're completely different games... this has more of a Moo/reach for the stars "ish" look to it. Should be a fun distraction in the wait for dark avatar . Hmm, are there vids of it somewhere? or am i missing something... where did u guys read about the strip mining and what not?
NO WAYY! i check the forums here every day! i'd be lost without them!
OH and P.S. you're not alone with the BSoDs, i still get them every couple hours... without any files flagged as the culprit.. just random BSoDs with a generic shutdown and physical memory dump message... No explaination, just BYE BYE.
go to www.ati.com and click on the Drivers and Software section. Follow the appropriate steps to find your driver. HOWEVER, i see you have a mobility radeon, so that means laptop. Sometimes laptop drivers are specific to the computer manufacturer, so you could also try their website. And it's also possible, guys, that there is no new driver for a mobility radeon on HIS specific laptop model. BUT you can always try the latest catalyst drivers from www.ati.com. they sho
OK well that's what i was wanting to do, add a unique government to go along with ethical alignment. OK, read the posts in the link, but i'm a little confused... Where do i add the actual DATA? what file? Can't just be techs.xml
Where in the GC2 files do you add new goverments? (i.e. republic, democracy, federation...)
Yarlen, is stardock interested in any Beta Testers for the expansion? Or is all that jazz lined up already? I'd be happy to provide my qualifications if you are still interested in beta testers.
Still someone is talking about this 700% cheating bonus? methinks someone is jealous b/c he hasn't ever gotten a precursor mine (700% manufacturing bonus) or precursor library (700% research bonus) tile bonus be4! No need to call it cheating b/c u're too unlucky to ever get one <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" b
it only gives the bonus to the planet it's built on BY DESIGN. I.E. it's meant to be that way. And it adds a 50% boost to the base research level, meaning if you're planet is making say 500 research points, it's not going to jump to 750.
i thought this was fixed a long time ago... do u have the most recent version of the game? v1.2?
Pirating software? No thanks. No No No, it's the only place you'll find that particular upgrade, if it's still on anyone's computer...
My last job was the tech at a small computer store that speciallized in desktop video editing machines. Your setup is similar to those machines. We built workstations for Lightwave, too. Ya, a dual dual core Xeon would be killer. Vista has some good points, though. Like the vector based graphics. And any machine you are likely to build should be gangbusters for Vista. <
To Starlost & LogicSequence I've had a crack at modding Galciv2 with some success (for a novice) but wot i'm really looking for is a way to get into creating the ship models, skins etc. I found the lightwave website and had a look around, but I have no idea where to start or what to do.? Can you recommend any sites that can help a beginner, with limited know

Mine has a sticker with the number printed on it, right on the back of the jewel case. with big letters that say SERIAL NUMBER.
Nice machine, Logic Sequence. Looks like a nice setup for video editing, too. yes it is, it's getting kinda old tho. I'm going to upgrade in '07 and get dual Xeons, but i want to wait to get the new version of the dual core xeons. so i'll have dual dual core xeons, probably jump to about 8Gb of ram, and probably 2 workstation graphics car

i'm using LW 8.5, i've imported many ships into the game, no problems. I hadn't realized 9.0 was already released!? i thought it was a few months away. Guess i have to upgrade. EDIT: i just checked, 9.0 isn't available yet... er, well more precisely it's available for pre-upgrade. Meaning it's not been completely released yet, as i thought it's a few months away.
Civ II
tried it, doesn't work. the reason is the code that makes it planet specific is just that, code. Hard Code. meaning it can't be changed.
the problem is mainly making the enhancement "planet specific", i you can adjust attack and defense bonuses all you want, that's no problem.. i just haven't a clue how to make it planet specific, or rather specific to a planet the improvement is built on, and only effect ships in orbit...
CariElf: I was wondering if you have, or could, write a guide on creating new weaponFX? Obviously they're .x models, but i can't seem to figure out the layout. what keyframes are used? where should the effect begin and end? I.E. for a missile effect, should the missile start at grid 0,0,0 and move to what? 0,0,10? And over how many keyframes? same for a detonation effect. And for a laser, should the effect model be 10m long? does it matter
