Cari, didn't wish to be ......... at all. Peace? :) So, tell me why "CariElf"?

I have to respond to Cari"ELF"... ;) I suppose she speaks so because I usually play as dwarf in RPGs... :-D take care, Gherardo Livia was the wife of Cesare Ottaviano Augusto (The First Emperor) and mother of Traiano (The second). Attached a google translation from an italian site. LIVIA DRUSILLA (58 a.C. - 29 d.C.) Wife of Augusto and mother of Tiberio. Daughter of Mark Livio Druso Claudiano and Aufidia, in the 38 to C. married Ottaviano,

Livia in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Today at 16:10 CET 28/02/2002 my daughter Livia was born. Sorry, could seem not strictly a GC matter, but it really is since I'm also asking Brad to include the solar system "Livia" in the basic list for GC ;) The dad, Gherardo :D PS: my other son Marco is crying about HIS solar system! ;p

I like how Paul writes. ;) It could even be the start of a magazine article on FON LOL Good work.

I do not like those mouse ship commands and all those round circles that mark the target square. I do like more the OS/2 one. Please review the specific subject about the graphical interface. It's deeply discussed. :) Again, it's widely discussed in a thread. Summarizing, presently you receive a news (sharply defined) and have clearly in front of you all the positive and negative elements for whatever decision you take. I'd like to add FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to thos

Reply to A big thanks to everyone! in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Honored of beeing part of it, even if I (we?) think to have done very little. Thanks to you and the team. It's not usual to have this kind of opportunities. I would have loved to partecipate/test much more but I got into minor surgery ... :( and a daughter is coming at the end of the month... :) Personally I'd like to know what you think about: 1) ship commands (yes I really don't like this...) :VOMIT: 2) Fog of News

I like Fredrik commands. I do not agree with John's 2LMB description. It should be 2*LMB on the ship to turn on Autopilot then one click on where to go. Brad, BTW, it's not correct to be able to see where enemy ships are targeted. Can you imagine what advantage in case of war? I liked more the strips on the small maps or something similar. It worked for the OS/2 for many years. This new interface system looks weak from all opinions (am I pushing it a little ;p ). Think twice... <br

we have pizza margherita, napoli, patate, rossa, crostino, marinara, about 30 to 50 types.... but ;) none with fishes. We leave that to other countries to patent it LOL Sometimes you can get pizza with mozzarella and shrimps but that is as far as we can push us ;) Usually we have 1 to 3 toppings at most including tomato and cheese (mozzarella) if this is the case. Please, tell me if you come to Roma, I'll be happy to bring you to taste real pizza...

AlexG, are you sure that a president has always the correct infos all pointing in one direction? LOL BTW, having the infos via GNN is just a simplified view of the reality. If you wish you can make NSA (or WSA ;) ) film briefings... but the nice thing is to have infos not 100% accurate and possibly giving different hints and solutions. You can act on the spot in one direction or, with a button, search more...

I think my bet is for "Terra" that in italian is the equivalent for earth. Planets could be "SPQR", "Caesar", and so on... You can guess those italians would also bring spaghetti (Barilla or De Cecco), parmiggiano (not parmesan that is a brand name from Kraft and by comparison is just junk) and pizza (but not pepperoni pizza that is a US thing we do not have/like here) with them. Give them an happiness bonus of 5 pts ;)

When you see a news with images from CNN the conclusion is not at all always clear. There are pieces of infos coming from the main subject, what happens in the background, the sounds, the text you get, ... Not everything could be convergent to the same basic conclusion (ie: kill dolphins, repress revolt, ...) but you could find yourself with diverging pieces incomplete infos, sensations, but a sharp decision to be taken. This is FON. In additrion USSR and others too (US?) did mak

Graphical interface in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

After some time of usage I still find myself more confortable with the old OS/2 interface. I do miss enlarging top-right windows. I do hate current ship moving interface generally speaking >:( . Can I skin it? ;) Hey "citizens" what is your opinion? A) I like more the old one B) I like more this one C) I was too young at that time (ie: never experienced OS/2) D) I do belive there is only one Bill and never considered an OS/2 game

Hey, just noticed there are no ranges. Will this be an option or you rouled them out? I do remember all the coding problems you had in OS/2 to add them and solve AI issues....
