Its not the CPU I would worry about, its the graphics trying to keep up with all the stuff going on. Even if the Green Reaper can put a string in that doesn't use the graphical interface so much as I was reading in the journals its still going to be a running "dawg" fight for showing you what your culture is doing.

Will the Arnor make an appearance in an expansion pack? Maybe the good/neutral races could join with the Arnor against the evil races and the Dread Lords. I guess this could happen, but why would you want it to? From what I understand of the history, the Arnor were quite frankly, getting their proverbial hind quarters blasted all over their kn

Not that this should have needed a bump or a move up. Top 5 Reasons why Cari Elf is better than a certain Senator: 5) She actually responds to my insane questions in chat! 4) She has an answer! 3) Usually its correct! 2) It is always better than the one I had when I asked the question. The answer that is. 1) Because unlike Senators, Cari Elf works for a living! W/R Suralle Straykat Kat Lord of Pryde.

Stardock does offer an IRC chat area. I mainly use it when I have a problem with installation or need to just pick some brains that are just freaking more smart than I am and/or more computer hardware/software savvy. But, the same folks who post here frequently I see in the rooms there. You can access it through Stardock Central. Also I believe the weblog JoeUser.com is sponsered by Stardock with quite a few rumbles, rants and raves. W/R Suralle aka:

Nothing more specific, unless you have something to trade, something flashy, lots of lights I do love lights. Especially ones that move around. W/R Suralle Straykat I will say the happenings can really help and really screw you depending on what exactly happens and your ethical alignment. What they are I will leave for suspense and thrill. I had an old chief once tell me that "This here watch (game) is hours of boredom, seconds of sheer terror." Some of the happen

1) I believe Yarlen stated that theory wise, there could be as many as 5000 colonizable type planets, so at a minimum that is about 1000 star systems.... 2) From what I have seen, there are some differences although the big difference is early in games when your looking to colonize a world, in all the beta I have played only yellow type suns have planets that can be settled. 3) 10% production and research bonus as mentioned above. 4) 5 is the max I have seen.<br

To answer Azaris question yes, there are a couple of galatic level only one race can have projects that affect morale on all of your planets. I recommend having a good economic and factory base though prior to construction. They are time consuming to make and frequently if you have the technology to make them, so does another race and they are probably in the same refuges be damned boat that your in as far as approval. So the good economic base is for paying off the project early so you do no

Course in my mind the only good folks left over at the end of a fight should be kats.

You only start out with 3000 space dollars, standard maintenance beta wise I believe is 25 dollars per colony, until you get some economic tiles in your lucky if you break even if you have more than 5 colonies to start with. One of the fast ways to check that is to stimulate taxation, keep population under control, build factories first, trade areas second, research facilities third, with the food and ecstasy mob pleasers last after the economy has stabilized with trade in effect with

Ditto, the u/g on Stardock to .16 from .15 seems to have fixed the url problem. MM though is still down. I was reading in another thread that it maybe due to the fact that the gamma testers are using it therefore in my mind it maybe simply a compatibility issue. Damn I love paint... you can change stuff to png files so easy!

Well now that is interesting! If you just do a standard upgrade to beta .15 from a previous beta the d/l from stardock proceeds normally, game startsup and works as before. The moment you do the uninstall from stardock on GC2 the new beta will not work giving the error codes mentioned above. So just a heads up. W/R Suralle

Yes, they will. Think of it this way. 1) I just landed at 26% bonus to a PQ 12 planet that had a moon in production...

I had a whole big blurb to move over in word to here but in a nutshell. As miniaturization increases not only should the amount of stuff I put on a hull increase (which it does) but the proportion inverse should happen regarding the sizes of the engine, weapons and defenses available.
