Reply to Superwarrior Question in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'm playing the superwarrior and like it. Usually I have a good number of small ships loaded with weapons and a lot of logistics. As I attack there ia a huge number of first shots rather that one big shot. At the end I usually take out 1-2 enemy ships in the first wave. Miniaturization is a key too. Galactic Privateer + Logistic superproject are a must. Microbot are nice. One complain is that I see the battle mechanism is so made that enemy ships are not taken out one by

Reply to Best victory option in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Never did it. I think each would be different. Would be interesting to understand how the AI is programmed to act. It I enable only influence victory, would the AI just go with that or also take out enemies in big wars?

Reply to Your ideas for the next update! in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

This thread is rather long... Guess Stardock is taking notes. Would be nice to have some feedback after 7 pages of thread in the form of: 1) ideas accepted (twisted / merged / ...) a) feasible in a small upgrade b) confidered for future 2) ideas unfeasible / not aligned to goals / not effective I understand that one major problem is to have the AI use the new features.

Reply to Your ideas for the next update! in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

One question: did you really read all those suggestions? Anyway, here are mine. 1) defenses should be more valuable. Attack right now has a great advantage. Simply said I do not research defensive techs 2) trading techs is impossibly expansive. diplomacy is useless. 3) want a carrier type ship : get X bombers that attack with your best available missile type (one

Reply to Espionage exploit? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'd say that the best feasible way to avoid massive unwanted changes from GC II while taking the good from DA and not ruining the AI, is to not allow spies over farms like is now over initial colony or starport.

All good ideas. As Frogboy stated many times... "it's just a matter of how hard is to translate that to the AI tactics" My CC (Credit Card)

Reply to Is espionage all about destroying improvements? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Differences from GC II 1) Spies can disable foreign improvements or disable foreign agents on your worlds 2) GC II standard espionage cannot be pursued but as a side effect of disabling foreign improvements you get standard espionage data like it was in GC II 3) If you build an agent you can look at any improvement of any planet you are aware of (just keep going and not place it). Quite a good collateral effect... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" borde

Reply to Routing problem? in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I have solved the puzzle... First I had a basic routing problem in the wifi. I had configured the wifi as a router within the same 192.169.200.x network. I changed that to AP with DHCP referring to my adsl-router and I could then ping perfectly... I did set my laptop with a fixed IP. Then it was still not working and finally I found a little error I did. I have 3 remotes definitions and it happened the good one was the last o

Reply to Routing problem? in Multiplicity WinCustomize Forums

Thanks both. My IP address are correct. I have .220 for wifi and .3 for eth Do you know what IP tool I could use to trace the routing between the two and so check that is a specific and not widespread (all applications) problem? Thanks, Gherardo

Routing problem? in Multiplicity Stardock Forums

I'm trying to connect within my subnet (192.168....) my desktop to my laptop. My desktop has a fixed address as my laptop. In-between sits a router and a wireless router. Internet works from both. If I connect the laptop to the main router on an ethernet port, Multiplicity works but if is connected with wifi it doesn't. Any guess why? Thanks, Gherardo

Where is WIN2K.EXE? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

mmmm, I have been lazy in this GC2 V2 and I'm a little out of sync. I have been told that win2k is an issue for the moment but also that there should be a special exe for it. Any confirmation of that and any hint to help me find and use it? My GC2 V2 version loads but CTD when I either choose options-video or new_game-next. Thanks, Gherardo

About item #1: I also have a WIN2K version in Italian and it doesn't work. Very interested in testing the fix.

Edited by moderator Gerahado: Perhaps you should read the journal entry. Win2K from SDC doesn't work. We had to create a special Win2K EXE. Please do not use this thread to post beta reports.
