I think the Terrans need a hefty research bonus as an initial trait, seeing as how that is supposed to be one of their huge strengths. As xFlukex points out, I also don't understand why humans only have Hyperdrive and everyone else has Ion drives even though humans had the Hyperdrive way before anyone else.
I like to think of it as a lava lamp with death rays and stuff. You made my spill my drink over my keyboard. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

- Aquatic habitat: a PQ10 planet for you is a PQ4 for other race, vice versa Problem with implementing that is, if you conquer this planet (via culture, or invasion, etc.) do you destroy a random amount of buildings? What about galactic wonders? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center
You can view a full screen view of the tech screen by pressing the "more" button. Also when you click on a reseach item, it centers it, so if you've lost yourself in the boundless plane of the research screen you can find your way back. As for the game lacks information for newcomers, that's true. It just misses some sort of galactopedia in game, with
+ AI: If you're playing on Impossible (or whatever the most difficult level) the AI gets a free miniaturization ability. At this difficulty level, our focus is to provide god-like players with a challenge. (besides, if you're beating it at genius or higher, you're probably doing something similarly cheesy ). <br/
+ Many new messages to human player to let them know if someone has gone to war with them because they've been paid off or some other reason. From the beta 4A change notes. Perhaps this will fix your issue. Just have started downloading it, so can't tell you if it's is what you want.
Wasn't it supposed to be out at the end of March? And then be out the week after that? And then be out last week? And then definitely be out this week?? Maybe you should just change it to "When it's Done" to stop getting everyone's hopes up. Actually that's quite unfair against them. They've no
No, that was his SECOND POST. His first post was not trollish. Read my post before making an ill-informed comment, please. Hello? Just because he is unable to use the edit button I should now differ between those two posts of him? Your right in that aspect, that I've shouldn't have written "in his fir
Oh no. Everygame I pick the same and best bonuses and the same alignement and it plays the same for me. The devs should fix this bug! Hello, Yor to Terran Homeplanet, need for a causality upgrade? You have the ability to alter your gameplay. If you just pick the same bonuses every game you have absolutly no right to complain.
I believe, based on previous Journals, that he specifically chose them to give the AI a hard time. If I remember correctly, the AI generally does best on Medium maps with lots of planets. By limiting the planets, extra pressure is placed on the AI, making it a better test of how well the AI is playing. <br/
They seem to take too long, and require too much to have gone on before things start to get interesting. As SargentPeter has said, you can crank up the research speed when you create a new game. Imho it's quite some fun fighting and playing with lower tech lvls, as there you don't have the "who attack
On this subject - can anyone tell me what in the blazes the (#.##) means? It does appear to be bad, the bigger it grows, but what is the meaning? It's how many times you've got the influence of this planet. Or when it's your planet, how many times the race with the highest influence. For ex
There's a lot of good in the diplomacy system and AI personalities in Civ4. Saying that GC2 should have something similar IS A GOOD THING. Strategists first reply is probably what is angering most people, just re-read the original post, it is well-written with good ideas and should not be flamed by fanboys extreme edition. </
Well dunno. Before the latest patch (not sure about the latest or the beta) it was possible to buy money from the aliens to take all their money. Since this has been fixed, I think the other one is probably fixed as well. But why don't you try it out? I probably won't have time to try it, since my diplomacy sucks usually when I'm on my wa
I'm starting to regret having bought this game. I hope the developers will wake up and set these very basic things right. Until then, I think I'll just stick with Civ 4 which is a solid game. Galactic Civilizations II has so much potential but unfortunately a lot of basic stuff is not in order Blub...

Uh, you know that you contradict yourself? If the update has emptied your ship design folder, how do you think you'll get them back? You know, file deleted, file for ever away? Besides, no update for the game has ever done something like this to me. You're really sure it was the update? And which update exactly? (version number?)</f
Personally I think you shouldn't have realised the demo once you realised you couldn't release it at launch (or before). To my mind it was a wasted effort. Well, I have to disagree. I've played the demo for about a week before I've bought the game. It also helped me to bridge the gap be
He he he, great answer Frogboy. Btw. are you already starting to miss the old days of not being that successfull as you're now? <TD class="mb-Body-Q
\Stardock\GalCiv2\Data\English\CustomPlanets.xml There you can alter your starting planets. As far as I know you can't make it random, but at least change their names. As for the number of stars and planets, I don't think that there is a way to make more of them, as long as you don't create a custom map and place them for yourself.
Ressourcemining starbases work for your whole empire, not just for what is inside their influence sphere. So don't worry, your class 26 planet gets the bonus.

If the game would be ruined by adding the "option" of tactical combat then surely adding the "options" of multi-player ... would ruin it as well. Which is the reason why there won't be any multiplayer. <

Seems like the horse i've been flogging aint so dead after all... Well, it is dead in that aspect, that the arguments are always the same on both sides and nothing new comes out of this discussions. But this doesn't stop us from doing it, of course. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles
Dunno if you can change weeks to month... I would also like to do this, since it's really weird with weeks. As for the second questions, go to: My documents \My Games\GalCiv2\ships (perhaps it's not called my documents, since I don't have an english windows, but it's the folder where usually personal documents are saved. The folder itself is created by windows. Hope you'll still find it, despite my explenation. <img src

Come on tactical combat fans [probably around 50% of Galciv2 purchasers] make some noise and get Stardocks attention and then maybe we'll get the expansion the silent majority wants! Better, Stardock should made a poll. Don't beleive for a second that more then 1.578654% would wan't tactical combat, s
Huh? Can't be. Banking centers give +24%, while Stock Market gives +30% to the economy. Have you modded your game or something?
