I have to agree with that. The Yor is bad enough. But conquer them, they're your influence. Speed on. The damn galactic council restriction? Leave. The yucky speed event = screwed.
My initial impression was "Yay! New Screen! Cool! " after seeing a few dozen times now. The flag waving thing... I hope thats just a placeholder for the real awesomeness. I am not asking for real time, just something to better represent troops than Flags. I am thinking of being shown movies about what kind of invasion tactic I chose. If I use Tidal Disruption I better see some drowning Drengins!! Last thoughts, Kudos for Stardock the expansion as a whole is just WO

I don't know about making managing the fleets and planets more crucial, but it sure makes micromanaging essential to get by.
In my race selection screen and the racial setup/pick your abilities. The Altarians have a -20% Weapons. I don't see any other race with any negatives. This has to be a bug right ?
Is there going to be an option where "Unique" means it's useless to other races?
[quote]* Do you still play Civilization IV? * What did you think of the "Warlords" expansion pack? * What do you think of the "Beyond the Sword" expansion pack? * Is a new version of Civilization about to be released that I should just wait for? * What other strategy games do you think are better than Civilization?

ToTA is soo great its awesome. Its soo wow mind blowing.

In short everyone has their opinion. Like well uh, I can't quote that. Anyways, My own opinion is that the thread starter is wrong. I will not insult their intelligence or lack of, nor their upbringing.. nor... Anyways. GCII a great game. Still some haters out there
Awesome stuff in this thread. Can't wait to see it in the TotA Beta!!
Absolutely love WindowBlinds.
I'm so excited I pre-ordered it! Stardock = Awesome Thank you for keeping GalCiv fresh and fun.
SUH-weet. In regards to Mr. Robot. Cool Work Yarlen. Good job! All the reviews not just the robot
*A Star Wars total conversion mod for GC2/DA. *Chrono-Trigger. Re-polish the old classic and let us play it on our next gen consoles/PC. Also make a new game in the line. *Suikoden 6 where are you. 3 is tied with 5 for my Fav, but 4 still has a bad taste in my mouth. *Some GENIUS at Squeenix gets the bright idea to make all the final fantasy games released (FF 1 through 10 ) in a compilation playable on next gen consoles/pc. Throw in a free trial or something for
As a modder who has made events in both Gal Civ games, I can tell you a few things from the xml file, one is that there are basically two types 1) When you colonize a planet and 2) It can happen anywhere/anytime. I am trying to remember from my head but there is a frequency variable which determines how common or rare the event is. So not all events are equal in frequency. I would have to agree with the OP. I don't even call it random anymore because I've seen nearly all
Would it be possible to have a starbase manager and or screen for that ? When I say manager I mean the computer controlling designated constructor type ships once they're built, sending them across your territory and fortifying your defenses. I am trying to get even less micro or away from it as possible. I know the AI can handle this, it does it for itself. Though maybe add some player controlled directions, like the sliders for mil/econ/influence/mining resources and the co
I'd like to say again, the main reason why no multi-player in an expansion is the lack of interest in that feature. Show Stardock some numbers (when asked, there has been several polls already from pre DA days even). I believe not enough people have said yes at the right time or perhaps just gave too much credit to a few long threads where it seemed like "lots" were interested in it. Personally, I know I am not a big fan of the idea. It's the fact that I usually save my prog
*gasp* No metaverse? *gasp* The universe will go out of balance... Nooo..
damn. I wish that would happen to me. I wonder if thats why normal seems super hard? lol.
#1) Mod Friendly. It's a huge thing. It means years later we'll still be playing this game (and/or its expansions) in some form or another. #2) Scaling graphics. Going from zoom up on a ship to the universe was just WHOA! #3) Graphics. To avoid being repetitive, I'll just not add comment. #4) Special Effects. Maybe tied for 3rd #5) Music is actually pretty good.
Back to the OP, and the thread start, It's all about the timeline! Which Star Wars is it? Is it going to be the one of Luke Skywalker vs Darth and Emperor or the young/not so young Ani? The clone wars? The Sith wars? The time chosen will also choose the particpants. There's also a 'how big' but I think this will be a non-issue. Thanks to a great game engine. Imagine taking the time to put every known planet in the SW universe in.. *boggle* But once it's done won't it be sweet!
Like the ideas but maybe still too early to see them ? and No, I just think that handing the game off to random chance ISN'T fun. If I wanted to gamble, I'd go to a casino. Just need a checkbox to let us use/not use random events. After playing a bazillion games of GC2, random events liven things up. At first I played with them OFF. After a while, they were welcomed.
*Another Tie Fighter? I'll third or fourth that! =p *Blizzard is pathetic at sequels. They were bad before WOW, now its utterly sad. Diablo 3 would be nice, but not holding my breath. *Wing Commander? I'd like to see a whole new series of game popup like that (with a new storyline) rather than revive an old and played out one. *Fallout 3. Can't wait. Also like to see more in sci-fi RPGs. *I dislike a lot of rpgs even though I buy and play a bunch.
Well the really ridiculous part is if the tables were reversed (Trying to buy it from the AI instead of selling ). They value the tech alright. TOO MUCH. You'd need more than 10x that amount. Sometimes, late early game to mid-game - I still wouldn't get a trade if I gave them all my techs that they didn't have, all my cash and all my IP. Anyways, I've gotten used to not trading with the AI anymore. After that, I became bitter at trading. Why bother? You're going to get screwed is what
I just have to throw in my 2 BC. GC2/DA is a classic. It out-MOOs MOO. Seriously. I know this is my own opinion, but its SOoo good. MOO 1&2 are lesser/inferior in comparison. Let's not even bring up MOO 3. When you want a 4x TBS game in space, GC2/DA is ALL you need. I also want to throw in some kudos for Frogboy too. The AI are so good as opponents and keep you (the player) hopping.
Damn, someone get those guys a walker. Starcraft ?? OMG Gramps that game is soo old.
