Expansion File Size

from GalCiv2 Forums
I didn't notice it anywhere but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how large of a file size the expansion/beta will be. Thanks in advance.

How big of a USB drive did you get?

You should be ok then, at least for the first beta round. I personally have no idea how the size may change as it gets closer to completion, though.

Appreciate the info Kryo... but I assume then that you don't really know how large the file size will be, roughly, i.e., 750MB? Not that it matters at this point but I like to be as prepared as possible after all the ranting I've done  And again, thank you for the most simplistic answer to my idiotic problem. For ten bucks I have probably gotten my money's worth 20 times over. I would have to say the flash drive is the best tech gadget for the money I have ever purchased.

It's not final yet, but you should be safe figuring between 650 and 750MB.

Uhhhh, you have to be kidding me! Wow, I mean that is a huge amount of info. This is pretty much a file size for a whole game, is it not? I guess I'll be borrowing my co-worker's 1GB flash... he always has to one up me!

You could always use a program like WinRAR that will let you split a file up into smaller pieces. Of course this means it would take you a couple of days to get all the pieces home, and I doubt you want to wait that long to play!

How I ever survived without a broadband connection is beyond me.

Never heard of it, but I would only have to do that over the course of two days, so that isn't so bad.

It may be smaller than that, it's just a ballpark figure. The gang's trying to cut that down some since there may be data in that total which isn't necessary (leftover dev stuff).
