Found the problem. It is leader vs race descriptions.

ATM I am wanting to customize the starting planet and available techs to this faction without going into the xml files.
My custom race description is there when I edit my faction but in the screen to choose which faction you want the description does not show.
I have been able to add BG, FG, Logos and Portraits to the editor and be able to make a custom one. Others that have problems making the right pictures (size, type, transparency) may want the ability a choose a picture from file and all would be made for them. Another thing is when I want to edit the faction I have to click on "copy". could you change this to "Edit". Last I want to make my Tri start on a frozen planet and only be able to colonize regular worlds u
Either we are being egged on or being made to think of how the story may go.
A Steam achievement that few will get could be to win a game playing a minor. To do this we will need to be able to play as a minor; not just majors.
With the faction editor and XML editing and Modding you could make your own races so the game is unbalanced tremendously.
Just like there is a quick start could there also be a quick load/resume so there is only one click to continue a game instead of click, search, click.
Instead of opening each SB to see what modules are there to decide if they need a constructor. How about adding a mouse over list of what modules are there. With all these mouse over lists some may not be happy so maybe have to add options for what mouse overs you want to see and which ones you do not.
When I mouse over a ship I see lots of good info but I do not get the destination unless I click on it and follow the line or us my ship list to tell me.
The built-in fan control would have me 70-80 before it got serious about cooling. Using the HW to make my fans start sooner.
Maybe Earth willingly joined Alt as a protectorate for certain benefits. On that note maybe it is not Earth that starts the next war but the returning Earth ship with all the new weapons.
I have made my wireless connection as strong as possible by myself but after running the program speedconnect things seem to work fine now. The settings it shows that it changed were already set to what it wanted but it must have done something behind the scenes. For clarification this is a wirelessN to cable50/3. the biggest change was my wireless is 2x faster. Not only does the game play after doing other thing on the net first; shutdowns do not have to be forced.</p
I am 61C with a lap fan. 70C with laptop fans only. B5 will have many optimizations that will help so just hold on.
So I was wrong and will have to buy it.
I used Task Manager to make the dump. When I start the game without rebooting I get black screen and a flash. rclick on screen gives me grey and the option to close the program. http://prescottvalleyumcorg.web.siteprotect.net/GC/GalCiv3.DMP I tried to send it using a ticket but did not take.
I have big plans for my Tri from SEV and want to see how far the Faction editor will go before I have to try XML editing. Appearence, Ships, tech abilities, Biology, personality ...
I was betting on teh last week in March. B5>QA on 19 1 week to test Available last week.
The civ maker will use both if I remember the video right. Anyway you could buy the program and get the ability to make bink 2 files.
If you do not mind the logo then http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
As long as the info got to whom ever it needed to.
I will purchase the squares for the last week in March.
A way to add races could be finding new civs by the exploration of the Universe and other Universes.
so far so good
After reboot all seems ok. went on the net and played a vid at cbs.com then tried to start the game and it did. have run sfc before so see if running it next time it locks solves the issue will tell.
