No offense Jeremy G but that's an idiotic statement to make. The things Draginol wrote could all have come out of any good leadership book. Too many companies fail because of a lack of leadership. I didn't see any of those resolutions as being critical of other people. They all could be summarized as 'I am going to provide better leadership'.
And people pay twice as much for t-shirts and hats that cost virtually nothing to produce. http://www.distantreplays.com/distant/product.asp?s_id=0&dept_id=3099&pf_id=10027961& $35 for a crappy hat that you'll use how often? it's probably $1 for the skin, $19 for the license to use the official trade marks. lol.
i don't mind if someone doesn't want to buy it. different strokes. what i don't like is some ass on the internet telling me that it's morally wrong for people to have the option to buy this stuff. the argument isn't whether these premium dreams should be free or not. the argument is whether they should even exist at all. do these morons really think that these high quality dreams would be simply given away? no, they'd just not be made at all and people like me would be stuck having to d
It seems to me someone at stardock has a pretty big ego to think that they could fix anything for ms. I would bet ms is more than capable of fixing there own problems if there were one, after all they are ms, a multi million doller company and stardock well......is just stardock. wow, what ignorance. i don't claim to be a stardock expert but... stardock did zip folders before microsoft. stardock was the first to do gui skinning
Fourth - Hit early, hit hard. As soon as my diplomacy research is done, sometimes before it is done - I pick an empire I want to take out. Figure out what weapons they use, and build a fleet to counter. Count all of their worlds, and build enough transports to wipe out the whole civilization in one turn. You simply MUST take out at least one AI in the first year and a half or you won't have enough territory to compete with the enemy. When it is time to strike - DO NOT
The DA expansion pack is without a doubt more extensive than most of the expansion packs out there. than most? can you name one that is more extensive? or even close? even dawn of war, which was a great expansion, is light weight compared to dark avatar.

This has to be the vaguest report I've ever seen. Mini map and a debug.err. I have dualcore, haven't seen any problem with the mini map. Was there some new mini map feature added?
Seems fine here. Don't see you posting anything in the official bug report moosetek. Cheers to Stardock for the improvements.
who else is excited about the new expansion pack? i can't believe it! it will really add new life to the game!
what do you mean "one of the lucky ones", moose? most people ran the game without a problem. these forums would be fl--ooo---ded with angry people if most people had a problem. stardock has even run polls to find out what % of people who hang out here, which is likely to have a higher % of problem users, and it never showed up over one little dot on the graph meaning few people are having problems.
i find the game very challenging. i bet a lot of the difference depends on the game settings. large galaxies vs medium or small. tight cluters vs. loose.
last year i bought a new house. it was just built. this spring with the heavy rains there were some leaks in the roof. at first i was outraged until i talked to some friends of mine who told me that sort of thing is common and to just talk to the builder. and i did and eventually they patched it free of charge. some things are impossible to notice until after the house is built. i don't think people are giving stardock a free pass. they just happen to live on earth and not
i think you're grasping a little bit. dread lords and arnor the same as the Ur-quan? ancient superbeings who disappeared are a pretty common in sci-fi and fantasy. maybe the dread lords are the ori and the arnor the ancients. maybe the dread lords are like sauron and his minions and the arnor are the last of the first born elves.
Talk about having rose colored glasses on. The imps in galciv 2 are a masterpiece compared to the imps in civ 4. What planet are you on? By the time you can build the more advanced civ 4 religious buildings that give a lot of culture it's too late for them to matter. i was thinking the same thing. the guy's complainign about secret police? i s
It is unfortunate that we are essentially paying to play the open beta, but it does make things a lot easier on the developer and he's doing a good job so I won't give him to hard a time. that's seems a tad unfair to say. stardock could correctly point to the countless user reviews and magazine revie
it's funny how everyone else is a "fanboi" but the guy who complains loudest is somehow being objective. to disagree with a complainer is to be a fanboy i guess. there is no inbetween. i just did a quick gamerankiings check: http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/simpleratings.asp galciv2 is the third highest rated game in the past half year. only civ 4 got higher and fear barely edged it out. and what version of the game did th
You're complaining about their versioning? Sheesh.
That's a little melodramatic. Game breaking? I don't even agree. Why shouldn't I follow some enemy force? They do it to me. I'm a soul collecter!
Been playing like a madman the past few days. No serious bugs. The initial version had a couple of bonuses that didn't apply which was more of a docs issue than anything. They fixed that pretty quick. There are some bugs with upgrading of ships depending on how you did things. But I think there should be some fairness on that, the ship design is practically a cad program. Very complex. So how solid is the game? More solid than most games I've purchased in the past year.
fun read!
great! i think it should have gotten a bit higher score but a 9 is pretty rare.
doesn't this guy have a star trek convention to go to where he can demand that the whoever gave Kirk the wrong prop in scene 32 in episode "mirror mirror" be fired? outside teh hardware stuff a few people have mentioned themselves having (i have had none), the kinds of things you're listing are piddly crap things that every game out there has and gets addressed. if galciv2 is buggy, what's your idea of a game that isn't buggy that's remotely as complex? i can think of none?

it's a big deal to me. especially in an age of having multiple cds to install. i really detest having to keep a bunch of cds around to play a game that's using gigs of hard drive space already.
i doubt you'll ever see user controlled ships in tactical battle. don't take this the wrong way but in my experience people who liked the tactical battles in MOO 2 fall intwo two categories: 1) People who aren't very good at strategy games and therefore didn't realize that tactical battles in MOO 2 were essentially broken. or 2) People who ARE good at strategy games, realized the tactical battles in MOO 2 were broken, and used its problems to exploit t
