Reply to Major Diplomacy War/Peace Cheese at Intelligent levels in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Re: Madine The 1st is already in place, you do automatically declare war if you sell that declaration to another race. The 2nd and 3rd sound like a good idea to me though, having an agreement counter behind the scenes where declaring peace after you just sold your hostilities (say within 10 or even 20 turns) would be a hit on your diplo with the race you made the original agreement with. I'd be happy to see this be a high hit in the first 10 turns and then diminish gradually over t

Same thing as MadMaz describes. I even went so far as to uninstall GalCiv, reinstall from CD then update / redownload the BonusPack then update to 1.02 using SDC. Same thing again, slider doesn't work, 'string not found', 'leave' up near trade window, click and hold not working... ~SDC~

Just to chime in, I'm having the same problem with my MP3's. Most all of mine are encoded high-VBR so they range from 32-320 Kbps from second-to-second. 03/02/2001 08:36 PM 300,544 L3codeca.acm 05/28/1999 09:13 AM 301,568 L3CODECP.ACM 12/12/2002 12:14 AM 83,456 l3codecx.ax Looks like more or less the smae one as the other two guys here. I know for a fact these files came from the Nimo Codec Pack as I had uninstalled it during tro
