video of the capital ship unlock

from GalCiv2 Forums

Having a convo with a friend and was horrified to discover he's never played Gal Civ 1 or 2.  I was making a reference to when you unlock capital ships and the video that plays - the comment is something like "warfare will never be the same".  I've had a poke around on youtube but couldn't find the video.  No one happens to know if there is a video for it do they anywhere online?  If so I'd really appreciate if you could link it for me.

I'm still struggling with the concept this friend has missed this gaming reference and the Gal Civ series...

It's when you make your first medium ship that the movie plays. The file name is 'mini_BattleshipBuilt.bik' if you wanted to play it outside of GalCiv 2. Assuming you have a Bink Player codec anyhow.

I don't know where you'd find it online unless someone here wants to upload it to youtube or something. I could email you the video if you like. Just send me a PM with an email address.

Thanks for that.  I'll pass on the video, I'll force the guy to play it instead.  I mean he loves Civ except he'd rather it was set in space...  He's never heard of Gal Civ.  I've beaten him, and stardock has another (unwilling) customer having his arm twisted at the moment.  I know he'll be won over very easily after about 30 seconds of game play =)
