For once, I completely agree with you, Darca, but if we can't get bacon, then maybe an icon of a heart exploding! Same thing really. [e digicons]:waaaa:[/e] I mean, there is a [e digicons]
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="34" id="3485417"] Quoting Michael Ens, reply 33 So...Galciv is a spiritual successor to MOO2 because they are both good games? That doesn't track. True. Especially considering, that the original GalCiv was inspired by Civ. Heck, the best way to describe GalCiv to this day is "Civ in space", in
I've been biding my time with GC II, TotA.
Really HAPPY I'll finally get to see all the shiny goodies we've gotten looks at on the devstreams, AND a week before I was expecting it. Now, what will really make me extra happy is when we finally get the diplomacy in. But I would rather see that start in awesome mode than just get something imperfect.
[quote who="Alstein" reply="6" id="3462410"] I still think it's a sad day, because I liked having an altenative to Steam in case something happened to it. That's not me being anti-Steam, though I was when I was younger due to not liking how slow Steam is (and it's still clunky to me compared to Impulse) [/quote] Yeah! I was really disappointed when Stardock sold Impulse. For me, it was the best system ever developed.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="18" id="3480474"] Quoting parrottmath, reply 17 Just upgraded my work/gaming PC. The last one lasted about 4 years, but what do you expect from a laptop [e digicons]:)[/e] I haven't looked into it in a very long time, but you can play decent games
[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="2" id="3484226"] You might hold the record of most post created in a week. [/quote] No... I do believe that honor has been bestowed on you, Darca. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote quoting="post"] Finding a derelict starship that could actually be used should probably only occur in movies. [/quote] and maybe in games??? [quote] Could the finding of ships be made an option so I can turn it off? [/quote] If not, I guess you could always scrap them.
[quote who="TGWarlock" reply="41" id="3484218"] Actually you can name a star for about 60 bucks, and you get a cool stuffed animal to boot. But as charon2112 stated I doubt it would hold much weight to anyone who lived in or near that system. [/quote] He did this like 40 years ago. No idea what it really cost him.
[quote who="charon2112" reply="37" id="3484152"] "Naming" a star is such a racket. It's like selling someone the brooklyn bridge, the people accepting the money to 'name' your star don't own it. [/quote] Well, I didn't say it was legit. But it is a nice gift for your sweetie. It even came with an official looking certificate and a map of where to find the star. Just head for Sirius, turn left a gazillion miles. Un
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="2" id="3456072"] But really, that will be a PAIN to see stupid things like "IslandDog" or "Tassadarpaladin"... You realize that IslandDog is the screen name of an employee of Stardock, and does a great job. I cannot see why a name like that cannot be accepted. I'm sure if you donate 1 million dollars to an astronomer a year, he would let you name a star what ever you like and it would be hist
Thanks. I knew that... I just forgot, along with a million other things I no longer can recall. [e digicons]:|[/e]
I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but there are 2 planets in their home system named Po.
[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="1" id="3483027"] I would like to sea the minor races included in thiS. I do think the one with the most influence points should decide what we vote on. [/quote] There are so many ways this could play out. On the surface you'd think it would favor more peaceful players, but what if you threw in variables like military power (and the willingness to use it), proximity, ideological leanings, tech superiority, a
I was just watching the devstream from last week. It sounded like the UP will work similarly to the UP in GC2. I was wondering if any thought has been given to expanding it to include the minor races, at least in a future expansion or a DLC? It could add a whole new dimension to diplomacy and sphere of influence. The way I envision it, the General Assembly could meet on an annual basis, and the Security Council would meet to

I think there's something to be said for each side of the issue, but when it comes down to it, why are we researching the same techs we did in GC1 and GC2? Even if technical know how was lost in a dark age as civilizations crumbled, many techs from the earlier age would still be known and available, even if on a more limited scale. For that matter, the galaxy should be pretty well filled with the major species, who having lost contact with the empires, have forged ahead on their own. It s
I guess I should have said these are just some thoughts I had. In whatever way it develops, it is still one of the best series ever made IMHO.
Thanks, Parrottmath. I was a bit confused on that point.
[quote who="androshalforc" reply="2" id="3479405"] Speaking of survey ships and auto survey i would like to have an option to turn off survey of wormholes or at least set it to only survey wormholes if no other anomolies are within range [/quote] I agree whole-heartedly!
[quote quoting="post"] I have a situation where attacks do not seem to do anything. Each time I acknowledge the battle popup, it just goes back to the map, or to the next battle popup. This is when I am attacking and I am defending. Is this something seen before? If not, I will submit the usual ticket to support. If so, let me know if you want additional info or not. [/quote] I haven't ha
When colonizing a planet and given a morality decision, the decision should only apply to that colony, not the civ as a whole, except for a small amount (maybe one point) . If the choice is outside the the civ's ideology then the planet would suffer a loyalty penalty and would be more likely to defect to a nearby civ or minor of like ideology, or outright rebel. The more of these colonies there are, the greater the od
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="196" id="3480207"] Nice stuff Rand Johnson. I noticed that you don't have a thumbnail of the ship in your build menu. If you want to get that to show up I find that if you redesign the ships by saying use design then just save it a bunch of times it will eventually show up, then I delete the other copies.[/quote] That's good to know. Thanks, because its a little annoying, but only a little. BTW, I think in the stream they said t
