Couple Questions about the Exp Pack

from Stardock Forums
1) Why isnt a warning given that saved games from 1.05 will not work with 1.10?? I had the best game i ever played going and i cant continue it now.

2) What happened to the awesome looking GUI that i saw in some screenshots Frogboy posted about 3 weeks back? The GUI is pretty much the exact same as it was in 1.05, not the awesome one from the screens.

3) How do rally points work? I tried to figure out how to use um, but whenever i clicked on the ralley point screen (i tried both left and right clicks) nothing would appear on the ralley point map.

1) I can't answer this question.
2) These shots were shots of the Galciv Beta and not of Expansion. I have no clue why the beta looked better than the final product.
3) You know where the button is that shows you how much influence someone has in a given sector? Look a bit left of it and you'll find the answer for your question. I also needed some time to find it out!
Just incase you still don't find it: It is on the upper right of the screen.

I noticed some of the updated graphics with anomolies, but I thought the ships and planets were getting an overhual as well. Why would they show the Beta graphics when talking about the expansion pack?

The beta GUI was exactly like the expansion pack, no different.

@Qui-Gon: I am not talking about the Beta for the Expansion, I am talking about the old beta for the game!

@Surther: I spoke of the news where there was the pic withe the differently looking GUI. Don't know from when it was... Think something in July or early August.

ah, they AIL.ST for the help on the rally points. Now im still waiting for someone to answer question #2, but apparently some people didnt see those screens.

Anyways, a new question:

When starting a game, if you turned off all the extra victory conditions, your score recieved a higher multiplier. But with the new victory condition, it benefits the AI, not you.... so if you leave this one on, does your score recieve an even higher multiplier than it did previously, or does it have the same lowering effect leaving the other victory conditions on did?

I don't think leaving the other victory conditions on has any effect on the score. The only thing that matters is the actual victory condition achieved. If I have a military win, the points are the same regardless of which other conditions were still turned on and possible to achive.

anyone, by any chance, have any idea when the patch for the xpack will be out? Has it been discussed?

In another thread Frogboy stated that there would be a patch in October and another one in Novevember and so on. Don't know if there will be one any sooner.
