Reply to Unfair in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yep, the space sharks are very nasty and very hard to beat. Someone posted an idea to lead them to the evil alien and see they might cause him damage. A little good news is that you don't often see the space sharks.

Reply to Morale Crisis.. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Planets below 15 are very risky as you have found out. The morale for them is very had to keep high enough so that they do not defect. One possiblity would be to buy outright or lease the soil upgrade and habit improvement rather than build them slowly. Other idea would be just stay away from planets that low.

Reply to Ship bonuses/combat not working properly! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you attack a planet with your ships no combat shows. If you are strong enough the shield on that planet disappears after you have destroyed the ships orbitting the planet. If you are not strong enough then your ships explode and disappear. If you attack a ship in space you will see the ships fire at each other. ~SDC~

Reply to Defending unowned planets in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No way to keep them from gettin the planent other thatn to attack and destory the other colony ship. But then you are at war with that civilization. Best option would be to build (or buy/lease) colony ship and get there first.

Reply to Windowed Mode? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you download the windowed version it does not overlay the full screen version so you will still have both and can run either. I also run on a 19in monitor at 1280 by 1024 and both versions seem fine to me. ~SDC~

Reply to The changes from beta... in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I found the release candidate had much more polish and was much more playable. Very hard to stop pressing the turn button. All the extra graphics really spice it up visually.

Terror Star moves too slow. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Built my first terror star. Cool looking. Since I was at war with the Torians I thought I'ld try it out. It only moves one movement a turn. Since the closest Torian planet was at least 5 sectors away, the way was long over by the time the terror star got to its destination. It is a great weapon, but takes way to long to get anywhere to be of much value.

Sorry, it failed 2 times in a row like this, but on the third try it works. Blame it on windows. Like the new speed on the opening.

Lockup with Beta 5B right after doors open. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Just downloaded 5B. Started the program and initial screen comes up. Doors open really fast as compared to 5A or before. However once the doors open no text is displayed and the computer is locked up tight. Power off is only option. Using Win98SE.

Reply to Java Scout's Galactic Civilizations Database Updated with Beta4D info in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I second Lucky Jack's suggestion of using white text. I have a hard time reading the text with its current color. Although I do admit to being slightly color impared so it may just be me.

Range of Colony Ships limiting amout of Colonization. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I have notice particularly in beta 4c and 4b that the range of colony ships really limits the number of star systems I can colonize. I can find them in time, but my colony ships just can't get there. Any chance of more range for colony ships?
