Thanks for your response! Can you give me any insight as to my queries about Steam? Will I have to stay online and connected to Steam the whole time I'm playing GalCivIII?...or only to begin a new game?...or only to initially download and install the game? <span style="font-si

Thanks for your response and the insight. Tourist income is part of GCII, but perhaps it works differently in GCIII. As to ethical rewards...just to clarify, no I'm not suggesting "evil" be rewarded...that's my "complaint" about GCII, where "evil" is rewarded the most, "neutral" hardly at all/ever, "good" is penalized. I was

Hi! Is GalCivIII going to be available only by downloading...and only from Steam? Due to all the negative posts I've encountered "everywhere" about Steam, I've never used it. If I go ahead and take the plunge (to play GalCivIII)... Will I have to stay online and connected to Steam the whole time I'm <

Hi, all! I'm relatively new to GalCivII(UE), and after playing several games I'd like to make three suggestions for the new GalCivIII...as I very much think GalCivII would be "more balanced" and/or more fun to play if incorporating these three changes...so I'm hoping they might be considered for inclusion in GalCivIII, if it's not "too late." <

...Divided by 4? Well, if true, I guess that's helpful...but not nearly as helpful as all factories being built in one week ...which is what the game manual states...and leaves me wondering if a patch to GalCiv2 UE changed the Super Hive Super Ability after the manual was printed...or is the manual simply wrong...in which case I

Hi, all! I'm playing GalCiv2 UE Twilight, patched to version 2.04 without any mods, and I've run into a puzzle. The game manual doesn't pin down whether to "X" or not "X" the "Super Abilities" game option in order to enable

Hi (again!) I guess it's not a score bore for me (yet) because I've never...um...scored, yet. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'm only on my 3rd GalCiv game. I play Immence, 9 Majors, 8 Minors. The 1st was on "Normal"...could see I was gonna win...and stopped. The 2nd was on "Tough"...could see I was gonna win.

Well...in this case, I'm playing Suicidal, as a custom race, using the Thalan tech tree...and was kinda counting on the Super Ability to have all factories produced in 1 turn. Since I don't know hex...and if there's no other way...I guess I'm toast. ...But thanks! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Hi! I'm pretty new to GalCiv2...and I can see you guys are pretty busy...putting in a Lot of your personal time on this project...and I was just wondering.... Will there be a way to download the mod without going through Steam or needing Steam to play it? <span style="font-size: small

I was fortunate enough to snag a 700X Research tile on my home planet at the beginning of my current game, only to discover, well into the game, that I had screwed up and didn't have Super Abilities enabled. Is it possible for me to open my latest Save file and edit something to turn on Super Abilities...or am I toast? <span style="font-size:

Thanks for your kind and quick response, Kryo. Logins are down? Is that why, when I try to login to the Metaverse, I keep getting messages stating things like a message that makes no sense has been received back (from the Metaverse)...and that my program (GalCivIIue) is no longer working and will be shut down? <span style="font-size: small;"

Although I've not yet played my first GC game (...am hoping to be able to, soon), I've spent hundreds of hours over the years playing turned-based and RTS grand strategy and 4X games. While I haven't read all 100+ posts in this thread, many of my feelings have already been stated by others, here, and I'd just like to emphasize a few, particular, comments already posted by others: <spa

Hi! Could someone please just verify for me that I can download and install a major mod to my just-bought copy of GCII Ultimate Edition (version 2.02) -- such as Altarn's Polished Twilight of the Arnor Ver 2 -- and that it will run perfectly fine without my first obtaining and installing the 2.04 update to GCIIUE? I'm very eager to start playing GC for the first time...but I'm quite ne

Thanks, kryo. However, I've run into an unanticipated "wall." The copy of the game which I bought from Amazon.com was "used." So, although I could load it and I can play it, the previous owner apparantly registered it, preventing me from registering it...and being able to download the 2.04 update. As I previously bought

Hi! I'm new to GC...just bought a boxed copy of GC II Ultimate Edition (ver 2.02) and installed it without any problem using the Key provided with the game manual. However, I'm having a difficult time finding a way to download the 2.04 update...am waiting for another reply from GameStop customer support. (I bought the game through Amazon.com). Question: I've read that the 2.04 update
