Yeah, it's not Tequilla either. I would have heard the chord progression and rhythm. Tequilla is not a foxtrot anyway, whereas the Cantina song is AT LEAST a quickstep, AKA, a "fast foxtrot", which does make it more similar to the Bazaar song than Tequilla. So, l'm still searching. Shazam is of no help, not here anyway...

Actually, the information appears immediately AFTER you respond to the colonizing event dialog. The problem with this is that you've ALREADY committed to colonizing that planet, be it Heaven, Hell, or made of cheese. At that point, it's kind of hard to put that toothpaste back into the tube. Unless you save before colonizing and reload the old save if you don't like the layout. Quite frankly, even a bad planet is simply not worth that much trouble, but is defin

I went through all my Benny Goodman songs and it's neither in there nor is it amongst any of those chord progressions. I'm sure it's an original composition written for the game, but I still take it as a "Benny Goodman-esque" song. The Bazaar song is in 4/4 time and is a basic foxtrot or quickstep. It's actually a little fast for a proper foxtrot and a little slow for a proper quickstep. I'd probably dance it as a foxtrot. It's more along the speed of a swing o

My current game is at turn 237. I'm really liking this game so far, although I may have chosen not enough civilizations for the map size this time. Anyway, I hope it doesn't crash on me.

If administrators were "placeable", then it would stand to reason that when an constructor creates a starbase, the administrator (hopefully) disembarks before the constructor is decommissioned. But I wonder how a constructor w/multiple constructor modules would work. Does it need an admin for each constructor module, or one for the ship? I haven't tested this yet.

In another thread, I too mentioned the number-of-turns-to-go issue for the tech icon. Mousing less makes for smoother gameplay. I would also like to have a way to select multiple tech tree research items by holding down CTRL or SHIFT. Currently, you can only research up to the next "specialization branch", which is the techs denoted by the oval-shaped boxes. Sometimes I'd like to be able to select beyond that point. Civilization (sorry to compare, but i

I agree. It is entirely reasonable that it may cost some money to provide for training and/or transportation for the employee to change job roles, get reassigned, or simply go back to "the government" (that's too nebulous; we should just call it the homeworld, which should not be viewed as merely another colony). But Promethion? That's kind of silly. It's like saying we can't promote you or change you to another job role because we just ran out of staples. Ever

I am BIF. It's actually an acronym, not a name, but in your inside-the-head voice you can and should pronounce it "Biff". I love the strategy of this game, and the Civilization games too. This entire genre became more than the sum of its parts the day it went to hex tiles. I have an interest in designing ships and scenic dioramas, and I have thought about doing some as a mod for this game...I just have no idea where to start. Ships should be grandiose, and I've s

Okay, so now I have a little problem with the requirement for Promethion to promote somebody. I've never heard anybody told, "well, Mr. Isoda, your job performance has been fabuulous these last few solar rotations. I'd really love to promote you or honor your transfer request, but times are tough and the company is really hurting for Promethion right now. I'm sorry but I can't afford to transfer you off of this frozen planet either. Maybe next year things will improve.

It sounds like this may be a bug, especially if it appears when you turn on particles. I'll watch for this.

Alternatively, you can send the colony ship to the planet but respond "no" to the dialog prompting you to colonize. That doesn't lose you any moves, but it does make that colony ship pop up in the "idle ship" rotation, so that you can see the context of the system it's in. You're right, when playing on looser maps as I often do, it can be a dozen or more turns before a colony ship arrives at its deep-space destination. When it finally arrives, sometimes I'll not colonize r

Why do we have to destroy ANYTHING left by a prior civilization? If I kill or capture all of their beings, then aside from the occasional automaton still programmed to attack me, I should be able to capture and commandeer my vanquished enemy's old tech. Give me an option to repaint their facilities in my culture's colors, but I'm all FOR recycling!
