From what I've read in other threads complaining about this I don't think so, but I could be wrong ~SDC~

[quote]no. do I have to upgrade to Drengin.net?[/quote] Only if you want the expansion beta, or other Stardock games ~SDC~
Well I changed my mind and took it, only 20.51282% - Geek, after seeing the questions I expected ot be higher actually. ~SDC~
The invisible ship bug is an old bug, and Stardock should be aware of it by now. ~SDC~
If you have already settled the planet you can't send another transport to it. At least not that I've seen. ~SDC~
You can't always tell who they are going to surrender to. In one game the Drengin surrendered to me when I was far away from them and in fact never made official contact with them. I probably wouldn't have won without that though. ~SDC~
It's rare but it's possible, especially in a purple star. But the way your wording it your asking a question you already know the answer to if you found a system like this. ~SDC~
[quote]Also, if you know your history, you would know that the illuminati has been a force for hundreds of years in human history. Formed sometime in the 17th or 18th century, the illuminati has been guiding the actions of countries since they were formed and continues to do it to this day.[/quote] It was my understanding it has never been conclusivly proven the Illuminati ever existed. ~SDC~
Just playing Galciv wont get your score high. Pontius only got 6.31%. I doubt mine would be that high, but I don't feel like taking it. ~SDC~
[quote]Also, on Dark Assassin's idea on alliances, why not a choice of types of alliances, ergo, trade, military, research, tech sharing, maybe some others people could think of.[/quote] I think this is a good idea. But it may take too much work to be done anytime soon. This doesn't sound that easy to do at this point. ~SDC~
As for being able to cancel out of wars you don't want to fight, your alliance is a military alliance as much as anything. And it generally is in most strategy games. If you back out of an allies war you aren't being a good ally. In some games you get the choice but your alliance will be cancelled if you choose not to help your ally ~SDC~
[quote]How about the enter button closing pop up message windows such as the technology screen and the round summary popup[/quote] Escape key does this. And in other threads Frogboy said it would take to much time to change and isn't a priority ~SDC~
If you don't have a serial number you shouldn't be able to play the game. ~SDC~
[quote]I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and Enter to lock the screen. When I log back in, GalCiv often crashes. I use the windowed version.[/quote] Are you sure alt-control-delete isn't just closing the game? Depending on what version of Windows you are using it can be pretty easy to do accidentally. And in fact to close the game is the only reason I would hit those buttons while the game is on. ~SDC~
Frogboy put a link for the missing dll in the 'Beta 3 update crash missing MSVCRTD.dll' thread. ~SDC~
I think this is intentional. I don't remember the reason but there is a strategy to it. ~SDC~
[quote]Got the same message the galvic.exe file has dissapeared, nice touch guys! [/quote] I still have the EXE file I don't know how you lost that. ~SDC~
I made the mistake and tried insttalling it to to see if it was just your computer, I think it's deleting the file by accident, a previous version did that too. That or it's a new file they forgot to put in. ~SDC~
don't install the update it's either missing a file or deletes a file that makes the game unplayable ~SDC~
Nevermind I just had to close and reopen stardock, it's there now. But since I've seen your complaint twice now I don't think I'm downloading it yet. ~SDC~
They might be fixing it. Because I just checked and it's not available for me. And I do have the previous beta version. ~SDC~
[quote]I have a question about downloading also. Not the game, which I bought in a store. But about Dregin.net. I paid my $30, got the message from Stardock. I put in my registration number. And was even able to look at the Dregin.net screen. But is there anything from Dregin.net that I need to download? That's what I"m confused about.[/quote] As long as you already have Stardock Central you shouldn't need to download anything else to use your Drengin subscription. ~SDC~
It's quite easy to turn off, you can turn off any victory condition except military. In the new game menus at one in the bottom corner there will be a list of victory option and you can just unclick what you don't want ~SDC~
[quote]When starting a new game I adjust the Economy to 100% Military and then adjust the tax rate and Gov spending until I get the mix I want. Most of the time this works, but sometimes when I raise the tax rate past 55% it will change from generating 13bc to 3bc. Raising it further will get it up to 4,5,6 ......I noticed it only seems to happen when the starting planets PQ is 17.[/quote] Like CariElf said this is intentional. The population it lists on your planet is only tax payers.
[quote]The ability to "lock" 1 or 2 of the resource sliders, Master of Magic had this feature long ago, if I want to "fix" my Social spending while fiddling with Military/Research, I should be able to.[/quote] This is already in the expansion. Get the beta and you can do this. Or wait until final release comes out in September. ~SDC~
