Wintersong

4X just Galactic Civilizations II. May consider Master of Orion 2 after I finish a couple of pending games.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="13" id="3410022"] OLD Stardock (pre-War of Magic) would have the alpha right now. But no, we are waiting until it's a bit further along. I don't want to make any promises but I would expect early 2014.[/quote]That's ok. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] So I have these credits and some techs. Would you trade some for some screenshots, mini AARs of testing sessions, Let's Suffer</spa

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="239" id="3409987"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 236Abstraction is such a nice thing in gaming! Well said. But please remember that we individually are quite different people with differing wants and needs. As I said earlier, I am a control freak (perhaps I should have qualified that with "in certain ways"). The use of toggles to allow players a choice between "control" and "abstraction" was used well by GC2 for fleet battles, and in both prev

I do plan to switch to Windows 7 64 bits soon but unless they suddenly release the alpha, I think I can wait some days/weeks. [quote who="nurseryguy33" reply="11" id="3410004"]Alpha (Jan or Feb) Beta (Spring 2015) release (Nov 2015) I am just plugging in guesses but that would be mine... (I hope)[/quote] Beta should be sooner than that. They said beta would be Soon™ after Founder alpha (internal alpha is already on) and

[quote who="charon2112" reply="234" id="3409968"]Remember your role is the ultimate, "king" or "emperor" or whatever of your civilization. They don't get their hands dirty with ship to ship combat.[/quote] But they get their hands dirty desinging the ships or building the planets? Or giving orders to those same ships in the regular map? You are just trying to justify that you don't want tactical combat in. And while it's a respectable point of view, a "King" would be

[quote who="Illauna" reply="6" id="3409962"] Yeah I know alpha won't be out till early next year...but maybe I'm wrong. F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5[/quote] Manufacturers of F5 keys approve. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

[quote who="Achronous" reply="62" id="3409933"] I'm sure the person vetting out the star names will be pulling their hair out by the end of this and cursing Stardock! [/quote] Surely most submissions will be reasonable but there may be some trying to be "epic".

No sense for me to check for alpha yet. 32-bits still claim my PC as their realm.

[quote quoting="post"] Checking the forums every minute to see if they launched the alpha yet. Even if I know it won't be out for at least a little while. [/quote] Little while is next year. [e digicons]o_O[/e] I expected you to check every minute to see some pics about the game, or more sneak peaks by the devs... But alpha? XD

Well, "Verga" should be doable. *looks at Elemental* Maybe "Tuano" can make the trick too. We only have to satisfy english speaking sensibilities, right? [e digicons];P[/e] For the record, mine (star name) is no joke of any kind.

Just make it playable with the 4GB RAM and my GeForce 8500GT (I know, getting quite old but not fixable any time soon) and I'll be happy. Windows 7 64-bits will fall in place soon (not risking that thing called Windows 8 just in case) and multiple cores are already in. No way I'm adding a second monitor. No space!

Space is huge. If you don't deploy sensor ships or some kind of planetary mumbo jumbo building, I don't see why you should have a full constant vision. The Hubble cannot see everything everytime. In GalCivII, the only way to care about sensors for me, is that it's the way to protect better my "territory" (cargo ships with good engines, some range and the rest sensors for massive visual range). On invading others they (sensors) can be nice too (for transports without scorts) but wh

The wording is tricky but you are buying the game in both options. Each option has some different bonuses though. https://forums.galciv3.com/449030/page/1/#3405231

Added some links for "See by yourself" (still missing some), tried to find a more nice presentation format (still not happy with its readability), added some new information stuff (still missing some but not in a hurry) and more [e digicons]:dur:[/e] because I can.

I know that the game is going to have multiplayer but... pay to win?

As long as minimum system requirements don't go crazy "because 64-bits", sounds good. So... cross platform?

Will the designer work like that in GalCivII in which you could access other civilizations' pieces? If that is the case, would be possible (as an option if needed) to have access to other civilizations' hull models too? I suppose that you will allow us to create our own custom civilizations (correct me if I'm wrong) and I always missed to be able to mix hulls (not needing mods for that would be sweet). Cannot wait to see more about the other civilizations and their styles.

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="2" id="3409137"] Would indeed be nice. I heard some rumours they plan to post something today, or at least very soon.[/quote] Rumours ? Petitions are bad.

[quote who="chuck1es" reply="24" id="3408960"] Could you imagine the possible headaches that would result if they did tell us everything? The combat threads are already getting fairly brutal.[/quote] Hahaha. XD Well, not everybody would want to know everything, just the parts that interest/worry them more. But bit by bit, you would get the whole picture. The combat threads... a prelude to other system threads? [e digicons]:(O[/e]

Devs define what GalCiv is, not you. They don't need us to tell them what to read and what to ignore. They have been doing this (developing games) for more than two weeks!!! Having solid reasons to ask for options in distribution/game, is not the same as hatred. But steamfanboys be steamfanboys? [e digicons]:P[/e] And W T F has asking for non Steam version to do with "unsuitable for PC quality PC gaming"? I don't remember anyone asking for DOS compatible version
