Head On... I cringe at the mention of those commercials...

Reply to So why expand the expansion? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

The new way of grouping technology sounds very good. I do hope that the interface is fixed to allow two prerequisite techs for a tech.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar schedule announced in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I hope when you stay "streamlining" the tech tree you will make it more interesting. Using the same words with Roman numerals after them is very boring. I liked the GalCiv 1 tech tree MUCH better, for even if it didn't make complete sense, atleast it was much more fun.

Reply to That Annoying Someone in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I know people like that. When forced to confront them, I repeatedly say "Don't say anything...Don't say anything" to myself, and if it gets really bad, it may be necessay to say that out loud... but quietly.

Reply to Stars = Natural Warp Inhibitors in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Sounds pretty cool, but an 8 square radius seems too big for the smaller galaxies or close stars.

Wow. I hope I get this one.

Reply to Would people want Mega events? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Definitely. I would love to see this.

Reply to How do you activate hyperdrives? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Every ship in the game has a speed rating. A speed of 2 means it can move two squares a turn, speed of 3 means three squares per turn, etc. Ion and Impulse drives only boosts a ship's speed by one or two per engine (you can add more than one in the ship designer.) Warp and Hyperwarp drives give three (or four?) speed each, making them superior. It is all one kind of propulsion ingame, you cannot travel with FTL engines and then switch to sublight (or anything of that nature.)

Nice penguin

Reply to New Player Perspective - WOW in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I think I place more priority on the Research resources. Superior technology helps in every facet of the game.

Reply to Spicing up battles, some thoughts in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

Hull specialization sounds really cool. I think it's possible to mod that in and that's all it would take (right?)

Reply to Pluto in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I kinda liked Pluto as a planet. Eight planets just doesn't sound right. Oh well.

Reply to what happened to the GCII original concept? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In DA, planets will definitely not be the same with the new planet types and all.

Reply to Planets at night ??? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The lights/atmospheres have never worked on my computer, yet on my laptop they work fine. If you have never seen them, then it must be your graphics card (only conclusion I can think of.)

Reply to Galactic Civilization, endfase gameplay. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

These are good ideas. Hope to see them someday.

Reply to StarGate Atlantis Fans in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

That's funny, to me it seems Atlantis has more life than SG1, because SG1 is on a downhill slide without Richard Dean Anderson.

Reply to Why I keep coming back to this game in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Wow. That's pretty sweet.

Reply to What's up with Devastation Beam SB module? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have noticed this since day one and wondered about it ever since then. Thanks for asking, maybe someone will have an answer.

Reply to Need Help in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Try reinstalling. See if that helps. If not, then it's beyond me.

Reply to Fleet Mangement Error in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not sure what exactly you speak of... but I do know that sometimes after making a fleet that fleet is selected, and other times the fleet won't be selected.

Reply to Release: A new GalCiv2 map editor in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Seconded, install seems to go smoothly but when I try to run I get an error message (the "Send Error Report" dialogue).

Reply to What's up with Ship Hitpoints? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

That's because you are using cargo hulls. They always have 1 hp. Use one of the other hulls.

Reply to Wierd Forum Bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Happened to me a couple times. Pretty wierd.

Reply to Espionage--How? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In the foreign relations screen, there is a slider that says "Espionage". Move it to something other than zero.

Reply to Ship Repair Issue in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ships repair at a constant rate, everywhere (except in orbit of a planet? Maybe?). You don't need to be in your territory or close to a planet. I don't think it changes with difficulty level.
