Reply to Oh my goodness - they did an awesome job with the expansion! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, i got it and i love it. My only complaints are with the weird stardock interface, and the fact that it seems like you have to jump through hoops to get it to work. The actual game enhancements are awesome, the Rally points function is a must have. And the hyperlinking uses the power of computers to make things alot easier on us ppl who have no memory (ie u dont have to know where all the systems are, just right cluck on them) The value of trade items is alot nic

Reply to changing the screen resolution... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have a 21" monitor and i normally run my desktop at 1600x1200. Id really like to be able to use that realestate effectively. When i got the game i thought that they just took the WInXP settings for desktop, but i soon realized that wasnt true and went looking for the screen resolution setting control, still havent found it ;) If they cant change the graphics they should, as mentioned above let us either have more on screen, or preferably allow us to zoom the main map in and out.

Reply to Where is 1.04 for download? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Greetings, I'd like to make my own determination. Since the developers feel that the 1.04 patch is better ill give it a whirl AND it removes the button of death (destroy colony). Being an avid gamer i tend to always patch up to the latest production patch. I wish SFC3 had gotten so much attention from the designers. Have Fun, Don Alejandro

Where is 1.04 for download? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hail, This may be a dumb question, but i cant find it! Im assuming that you have to have Dregnin net? I look forward to being able to click on the "Destroy Colony" button again without "Destroy Game" being the result. Kudos to the Dev team for making and more importantly maintaining this 4x champion. Looking for Patches in all the wrong places, Don Alejandro

Also, there are no-cd ones at the newstand but they for obvious reasons sell out first, and there aer fewer of them. I like the idea of readers reviews in general but ive found that they are som

Reply to Improvements to help those with carpal tunnel in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Greetings, Alot of this problem is how your arm is actually going to the desk. I've done consulting in Ergonomics and see the most ridiculous set ups. One woman had her monitor about 100 degrees off her left side! When asked why she responded "I like to look out the window, and i dont have to see the monitor, i am a good typist" She actually used hotkeys to save and everything and would only look over when web surfing. I managed to get her to at least have the monitor in the f

Listen up: this can all be avioded by a very simple expediture of 30$. COMPUTER GAMING WORLD not Computer games mag, or PC Gamer (their reviewers are on crack), etc etc. I've religiously listened to their reviews (since 1993!) and have never gone wrong (except when i didnt listen to them). They only play the finished version of a game, off the shelf at a store so you might have to wait up to 2 months after the game comes out, but i think tha

Reply to Tell me how galciv shocked you! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hola, I appreciated the fact that i could play the 1.00 for 2 days and i didnt notice any bugs and the game didnt crash or act whacky. In addition it was fun and challenging. This is what Computer Gaming World means by a 4.5 star game (out of 5) Playing more, sleeping less, Don Alejandro de Valencia
