Reply to Beta 4D Notes in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

When starting up a new game, the flow of game creation takes you through race customization...when you click on the Abilities tab it shows as having 7 points remaining (as Terran) leading you to believe that you can add to the stats your race already starts out with... which, of course, you dont.... it might be a glitch in that it's not selecting all the default traits whe

Reply to Females in Diplomacy Stardock Forums

There should be a male option for the robot.I find it very offensive only having a female robot GGN presenter in the game. haha! I think Ashberry is just trying to stir up some trouble in here. I feel bad for Aloriel's disappointment with the lack of females in the game. It would have been nice to see some gender variation in the H

Reply to Beta 4D Released in GalCiv II News Stardock Forums

OH MY! So much for getting some work done this weekend. From the screenshots, it is clear that Frogboy has been listening to the fans on the forums while adding to the game. This release is gonna be a good one!

Reply to The end of the beta draws near.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Yeah I called you out Proud Canadian, probably wouldn't though if I hadn't just read those other threads before this one. It;s hard to tell 'tone' on reading posts, so based on other comments you've made. I can see your not ruthlessly trying to nitpick the game apart. So I guess an apology is order. Sorry Proud Canadian. haha!

Reply to Bugs caused by ship models from previous games in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

It might be very nice to be able to reuse ships that have only the extra allowing them to have "family" of similar ships. That would be excellent. Its easy to drop your guns and components on, but it is time consuming to make the extras look good.

Reply to Rethink Wormholes in Ideas Stardock Forums

I still say permanent worm holes suck. That's been my opinion prior to GC1, and I haven't read anything here to persuade me they'd add to the fun of GC2. I'm with Star Pilot on this one. I don't want permanent wormholes or stargates. I found them cheesy in games like MOO/MOO2 and I'm hoping that GalCiv2 doesn't have them.

Reply to >>> BETA 4C <<< in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

bug Some planets do not appear to get the full 8mt/wk from a Xeno Farming improvement. Some do (for a total of 11mt on a planet with just 1 Xeno Farming) but the others only get a total of 6mt/wk. Strange.

Why do only races that I met join United Planets? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Does it make sense that only the AI races who I have met are allowed into the United Planets? In GalCiv1, it was sort of justified if it was the Humans who founded the UP. However, in GalCiv2, this doesn't really make sense, especially when races that I know are actively interacting with the other races in the game who I don't know yet. I also saw a post from someone who had the first United Planets vote with only himself on the council. Funny.

Reply to Word On The Street - remove numeric ages in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

true, but age is age, the fact that a Torian might have 60 more years to look forward to vs a humans 10 (est) doesn't change the fact taht they have both had 80 years of life experience and are probably going to share conservative political values. personally, i like the age because it actually sounds more realistic, like in letters to the editors in various magazi

Reply to Terran-style dates for all races? Come on. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I'm not that worried about it. The "no longer defined in terms of anything we can measure against" is in terms of we 21st century humans. We have no frame of reference, so we don't know if going from stardate 1.00 to 1.01 took an amount of time corresponding to what we would think of as a second, day, year, or century. No more arguments about "completely taking over a plan

Reply to The end of the beta draws near.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

ProudCanadian: I think we have pretty thick skins. I was just making people aware that we fully expect people to rail against the game because they will assume that the released game is going to essentially be just like the last beta but with bugs fixed or something. I hear ya. I made the comment that I did because I can tell from your posts t

Reply to Word On The Street - remove numeric ages in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Sorry, don't agree. It would change the flow of it. I think we deserve a little credit for having different names based on the race. But changing someone from "Age 3" to "Young adult" sounds weird to us. The only point I was trying to make was that different races probably have very different lifespans. The numbers don't really seem appropria

LOL and I just read two other threads you started ProudCanadian bitchin about Torians age 80 and using human calendars for the date. haha nice! I try to keep my bitching constructive and attempt to draw out other peoples' opinions on how the developers could do something better (hopefully without requiring too much effort).

Reply to Ships design and red dots in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

If I would like to build 3 ships that looks similar and can be used at the same time, I need to buid them from scrath each time.

Reply to Trouble in Paradise!! in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Good post on your second point, but Stevious is right - there is not going to be a multiplayer option in GalCiv 2. Stardock was very clear on that right from the start of development. That's really wierd that the savegame size keeps growing when you aren't doing anything.
