While the writeup was a good read, Im dissapointed they only displayed thumbnails of the mockups they were given. (Thanks for linking to atleast 1 of them in the post here, Tandis!) Details man!! I want the details!!
Hello there. Beware of the Snathi.

To answer the topic title: Yes. the 21st does begin at 12:01.
It stays the same. You get to double click on starbases to check out the installed modules... planets to see their projects... Also you get the ?? removed from their planets that reveal the influence factor and approval.... I just think there are better ways to spend that money is all.
Just wait until you get into a situation where the Mighty Drengin come suing for peace. Those are the best.
Once you get high up on espionage (there are several levels, but I dont know exactly what level you need to be in order to start stealing techs) you can steal techs. In a recent game where I was pumping the max amount of money into a player for espionage (well over 200bc per turn), who were also fairly ahead of me in tech, I was getting probably 1 tech every 10-25 turns. Maybe I was getting lucky? Maybe not. I dont know.... I generally find espiona
Ive yet to encounter a recession. Ive had hyper sensors... boosted speeds... increased production rates... and the booming economy...but never once a recession. I guess Ive just been lucky. However, at the very least all of these events affect every player in the game...not just you... so really a recession just slows the game down... (makes combat much more meaningful
You can get info about them. But that's not destabilization. That is espionage.
There is no longer a "destablization" option in GC2.
Uhh, they seperated out the game data files from the optional multimedia bits for those people on dialup still... or for those that just dont care to have them. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that...?
Well... I learned something new after watching that! I've been mispronouncing Drengin this whole time. Ack.
Without "actually" "knowing" what's going on, on the inside... I can tell you that since the game went gold there has been some critical bug fixes and some big AI tweaks. The "Intelligent" AI is getting bigger, badder and meaner by the day... and it still has a long way to go. For example, it doesnt currently take advantage of the
I've yet to play any meaningful time in full-screen mode.
No, the Dreadlords have not shown up on any of my "sandbox games". However, there is a custom scenario that pits everybody against the dreadlords... in essence you -can- play a sandbox game with the DL...but they dont just randomly join your games.
I dont think it's possible to have a list of names for the AI to use as class names.... but that would be nice!
Build farms. No...seriously... farms are great last ditch defense against invasions.
You can guarantee your skinny arse that I'll be modding within a week on receiving my copy of the game, assuming I get my COLLECTORS EDITION!!! If I don't I'm going to cry and have a fit! Regardless of what you get, if you pre-ordered the game you will be able to enter your serial # somewhere on the w
Minor race portraits are not animated.
There are some quirky issues going on with non-english Win2k machines running GC2... enough issues that you cannot play the game.... the dev team is putting alot of time and effort into tracking down the source of the problem, so I would not even -worry- about it at all until release day is here. If you can run the game on your non-english Win2k on release day...it's like the bug never existed right? IF for some reason they cannot come up with a s
Yes, Ive mentioned this in the past... perhaps if we make enough noise about it, it will move up on the ToDo list.
Starbases indeed to have an 8 parsec range.. I counted. (turn the grid on!) That's something you also need to take into account when setting up your economy base infrastructure with production boosting modules.... you want to get as many starbases overlapping the same area so placement is key!
There is no way to change from Evil to Good.... you go from "leaning towards..." to one direction or another.
Yes, any race can be any political party... with any bonus picks to your liking. You can change your name... homeworlds name... UI color... ship color... etc etc etc. In fact, at the start of each game the AI players randomly choose a party. In my last 10 or so games, the Drengi have never been the War Party...interestingly enough.
From the FAQ sicky posted in this forum!!!! Q: I want to purchase the game at Stardock and download immediately but I still want the box. Can I do this? A: YES. If you purchase the second option (CD purchase) you still get a serial # to download the game. That serial # is temporary (i.e. will e
No, I just didnt spell out the Good or the Evil bonuses.
