Oh, i forgot to mention that it seems the population display on the main star chart is too.... big? a single star system ends up having a Gigantic population and the corresponding cicle of color takes over three sectors... perhaps scale down the ratio of billions of people to micrometer (or whatever length unit) on the screen display?
The minor races idea sounds great... just think, you're an evil type, and you decide to kick those underwater freaks into the sea, but then their distant cousins realize that you've rediscovered previously thought lost ancestors and cut off all trade with you..... so many possibilities :)
I think the animated planets idea is a great one- it would look more aesthetically pleasing, and add more character to an otherwise staid screeen. Perhaps for the downloading, simply make them a separate download, like the cola market for Corporate Machine. Animated ships could be a nifty idea, but too many smoking ships could get kind of annoying... i think this would something to do if you felt you had extra time at the end of the production cycle for the construction ship t
Is the server down or something? 6:57 EST
Two Suggestions: -have seperate resource indicators for military and social in the planetary information side bar -have a visual acknowledgement of an orbital selection, ie make the blue box a slightly different color, etc, to visually show the selection Two Questions/Queries/Comments: -I found it odd that when a transport invades a defenseless system, the total population of every planet in the system is put under defending troops. So is the transport attack
Here's my new list of bugs i've found- warning, there's a ton: -Survey Ship started game literally ON the planet- the graphic was superimposed over the planet image, and listed as in orbit -I have a custom Star.lst file that doesn't contain enough names for a gigantic or huge game. Left-over stars have no name. Perhaps give planets same names but add "B" at the end? -survey ship on autopilot entering wormhole has no sensors once through, regains sensors upon next tu
The last several times for me at least now, have all be on planets beginning with M ... no idea if thats at all relevant
I've got a similar crash, heres the debug: Its got all the same errors as whilegate's does Debug Message: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* Debug Message: Going Fullscreen Debug Message: RGB in format 5:6:5, Masks reported as f800:7e0:1f Debug Message: Now Fullscreen Debug Message: Shell initialization complete Debug Message: ***** Initializing Game ***** Debug Message: Timer Frequency is 0 1234dc Debug Message: Added fonts: VerdanaWhite11 Verd
Found a new strange thing: i made a custom Star.lst file, but once i replaced the default one, with the settings set to cakewalk, tiny, common, and one race, it would crash upon choosing a planet for the third colonization for my race. It's done this twice in a row at those settings... not a clue why. p3 600; 638 ram; soundblaster Live!;GeForce 3 Ti 200
logical name for that acronym :) I can't wait till you guys let us have the part with domestic policy really in force, it'll put such a different spin on the game.
I just realized as well, looking at it the second time, there are more politcal parties and they have different bonuses, are we going to be seeing these in the near future? btw, in the game, what is GIA ??
The links itself is invalid for me, but copy pasting the url next to works fine, no white spaces...
I'm guessing for the enhanced visuals you mean have a 3d/whatever civ3 style view of the planet as an option. You click the button and get to literally see all of your wondrous projects laying nicely on the planet. I'm just guessing though...
Some ideas for other issues: Galactic Conference of Scientists New Site for United Planets Security Headquarters Centennial Celebration Location
- no sound or music anymore. Soundblaster Live! card, never had music, had sound at one point, but once i turned it off it wouldn't go back on, even with the game restarted. -one game(score on multiverse... ew) i was missing universal translator as an opening tech... i couldn't get it until i traded for it later in the game, and thus none of the sub techs -enemy ships in square below your planet and you launch ship, ship unable to move or fire -the anomaly vessal (can
Ok, im not trying to rush you or anything, since this is the beta, and only the first day its been out :). A little glitch i just found that actual ended up crashing the game is that the Advanced Trade tech kept coming up as complete at the start of a turn, then it would remain in the tech queue with the correct number of months remaining, subtracting one each turn. But each turn it would insist it was done. Then with five turns left it crashed. I have the save file
I just realized that the "no resources" did not refer to on the planet, rather it meant free in the empire, sorry about that.
The Destroy Colony button doesn't work either, at least not that i can tell unless it gradually, very slowly, declines the population on a planet. The slider for the troop upload on the colony ships and transports is very hard to actually select... the region size might need to be increased.
I've spent probably 7 hours playing already and a few things have stuck out as being annoying or frustrating. Lack of before-hand knowledge of whether a planet will or won't have resources. What does adding a point in the empire creation to a ability actually do? what is "speed" - manufacture, propulsion, or something else? Sometimes turns go by with my realizing that i had done some action that signified i apparently was done with my turn (i realize documentati
So far I've only noticed one- in the description of democracy it says mojority. I'm sure there are probably others :)
I'd just like to thank Pat Ford for helping me fix the dgm issue of not being able to connect ever until today. I can play the games again! :CONGRAT: yes! Also, i was wondering how to skin the dgm, i believe i read somone commenting that they made their's galcv themed... Thanks
I like both equally as well i think. Turn-based are great for spending a whole day playing, and RTS are better for the quick fix i think. the warcraft3 beta is amazing though... except it crashes every 7.5 min due to some xp incompatibility or something.
I just tried what you both suggesting, deleting all the tempary files on my computer... it still didn't work. I did notice though, that once it got past whatever the time limit is to find a connection, and i checked the proxy server information, it had old information stored there in a previous attempt to try and figure out what was wrong. That means that some information remained behind after the uninstall and deletion of the folders. Maybe it has something to do with that? I'm all out of i
Thanks, for the link... i reinstalled it and still couldn't connect, i really wish i knew why, its very frustrating, especially since frog said he was going to be adding people to the list of beta testers.
