Reply to Capturing ships in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I used to do that in moo2. Sub Space Teleporter, So you can move up close without them firing back, death rays to kill all resistance on the ships, sub space teleporters to get my guys on board. Troop pods for extra marines. I won a 40 dooms stars and other ships V my 30 doom stars that way. Even though the they had better tech, most of their doom stars had stella converters shame they never got to fire them, but they were lovely to take to bits for tech. James

Reply to Why does the purchase section not say anything about download only? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So its 45 bucks or in my case 55 if I want the box, thats not really a big saving!?!? I really feel there should be a much larger difference between a download only and a boxed offering. I guess I am going to have to wait to see if there is a cheaper offering in the UK at that level, so I guess that will be 6 mouths :-( James

People terraforming, spray it on and the people turn generically and physically into your race after a bit. Should get rid of the little problem of the people wanting to to go back to their "mother" race ;-)

Thankyou, that was exactly what I was saying, infact I said on /. "whats the difference", it was not till greenreaper explained on /. that i understood and I had checked out your site first. Also and i got modded up as insighful, so someone else must not have understood either. You people only understand why it makes sence cos you have been living with it. Lets not forget the worse person to find a bugs in your program is YOU cos you know the code, so you don't try things that seem "stupid" to y

Reply to Some comments on piracy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Personally I want to see that anything I download I do not have to download again. If have to download everything again when I reinstall my computer, its going to be a pain. What happens if your not still trading or when you don't feel like supporting the product any more and turn the key server off? Fine when i download a file tie it to my serial just don't make me download things every time I reinstall (3-6 months). James

So frogboy your saying it is only available if you WANT to get the CD. What the point of offering things for download if you, have to have a box sent to your anyway which only contains things you have already download? So this is a bit mute but why I said 20-30 for a download only... In my case well I am going to start talking in UK money.... 45+10 = 36 pounds, highstreet retail is 35 Not really a saving for me? New games it comes out on amazon.co.uk at 25 pounds moo3 did and also I get

I understand that its not available now via that route, but surely you should tell people it is going to be available via that route? Your probably getting alot of one time visitors, if you don't explain things now, they won't be back and will probably just go... I will wait till I see it in the shops and if it isn't it wasn;t any good anyway! Anyway I give up trying to explain my point. James

Why does the purchase section not say anything about download only? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

So why in the purchasing section does it not say anything about the drengin.net download only option? And why does drengin.net not say what the price of it is? Not everyone wants to pay 69.99 for everything, when they don't know what everything is. (It does not say exactly what you get for 69.99 and how long you get to download for, I assume its not forever!). It was only cos I was on /. and read a followup did I find out there was a download only option. Without that I probably would not have n
