Reply to Released premature in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hoss420... GC2 is fine, not perfect but it is stable. Most stable I've seen a new release. You are incorrect. Your pc is the problem. The gaming industry is lazyy and does have a habit of releasing buggy software...but lemme tell you what also has to stop: people with faulty pcs blaming the software.

Reply to Why shouldn't Starbases attack enemy ships in their areas? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It's fine that Starbases do not actively engage passing enemy ship (annoying but whatever). But they should at least impede movement of enemey ships by exerting "zones of control" like classic wargame units do. For example, an enemy ship should not be permitted to move from consecutive space to another while adjacent to an enemy Starbase.

Reply to Starfore attacks GC2 in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

"Stealing" is morally ambiquous when it comes to software. It is simplistic to believe otherwise. Much software and games especially released is just plain trash. With no refund option available to the consumer (except maybe using your AMEX/VISA and having them refund you if decline the EUA after opening) you had better believe I will "evaluate" the product before commintting finite funds to it. GC2 was an exception for 2 reasons: it had a great pedigree and good reviews, and it h

HIghly useful work. At a glance we can all tell where the pivotal technology thresholds are. As noted above, the arrival of Impulse drives early is significant. Thanks Jeysie.

Reply to Minor race tactics in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

What makes a race a "minor" one? Are they limited to the number of planets they can have? Are they easy to enslave...heh.

Reply to How to tell my GC2 version? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Actually on the topic of "computer savvy", I'm an IT Admin and I build pcs on the side. Reason I was asking is that I installed and patched GC2 on my gaming rig at home remotely from work, GC2 will not play over remote desktop so I wanted to know how to check without running the game. Typically you will see the ver in the executable but that is not the case. I will check crash dump file, good advice.

How to end a war in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Typical situation: buddy is cornered at start up and ran out of land grab room so he starts a war of conquest with me. I have managed to hold him off but grow weary. How can I go about termianting the war? DO I have to beat him up a fair bit or will he tire of his troop ships being blown asunder?
