I find myself wanting to read reviews and see what others think. I am also lurking in Gamespot site and found several ecstatic reviews.. My favorite one said "It's hard to call a game a classic three days after its release, but... " Other links to other sites reviews revealed review scores in the 90s out of 100, high 90s, 4.5/5 and wow. I gave it a 10 and definitely have it in the 'now playing' list. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T

I have to agree with Josh Alexander. A ftw.
Heh at least he didnt whine for MP too.. LoL.
That would be cool but what about the resources needed to do that? Is it automatic kinda deal or would require people to do ?
We have a record # of stickies here! Release day came with excitement and some issues. I agree with stickies - those help heaps. However there still is the issue of needing push MORE at the bottom to see if someone posted something new...
when can we stop beating this dead horse? bah, my last game took 3 days.. who's going to play a gigantic galaxy with you ? and not fall asleep, leave to eat or goto bed. It is not feasible the way people think of MP.
I won a tech victory... it took a full turn after the research thing popped up. So yup, there's a different movie for each ending Suh-WEET.
Agreed on small/tiny maps you can do this.. but you won't get to the other side of galaxy fast enough on huge/gigantic.
I have Civ 4 on my harddrive.. It's been lonely since the release of GC2.
nah.. I want a few more hull sizes in my expansion pack.
I'll say it again, Brad and crew at Stardock deserve success. You really have something to be proud of in GC 2. Thanks for your hard work.
Add on to #2. Click on your starbase and select it. You'll see the starbase's circle of effect. If planet is in that area then there ya go! if its not.. build another one closer to that planet.
Bloggers are everywhere !!
I can give some tips though you may also search the forums for tips. Initial Turn Stuff: I say spending must goto 100%. Set homeworld to manufacture a scout. BUY scout. Reason uncover more map and send them off in different directions to map out the galaxy faster. The sooner you know where the good planets are, the sooner you can send a colonizer there. Also I raise taxes a bit. Find a spot that gets you money without trashing your
don't forget the 'terrorist' empires - I-League, Vegans, Fundamentalists.
Well you were fighting them... sometimes a race will pick another of your enemy to surrender to, just to SPITE you. Also in their farewell message they say goodbye (Hope we see you in Hell ) hee hee. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Congrats.
Can't wait to read the assessment of the other races. LoL. I have to agree with those three though.
Snathi are cool.. I usually 'try' to get along with peacefully with minors. However sometimes I invoke wars of 'necessity' just so to have a fighting chance... As in its a necessary I take that 15 PQ planet. If I don't do this I generally benefit from them as a trading partner... every now and then some minor would sell a weapon tech when the majors tell me over their dead body or ask if I've been drinking again. Plus years of freighter BC. <br/
Stardock is a little biased on the Drengins.
Is creative a lost cause ??
Are minors not flippable ?? My last game, I took out the Arceans with influence. 3/4th of the Yor, 90% of the Thalan. Altaria was busy fighting Yor / Torians. I had several minor races deep in my influence zones. Major planets would flip and minors never did. . SOoo made me want to bring it up?
Awesome read.
I think the AI does a relatively good job at adapting on the higher difficulties. I'm not so sure I agree with you on the second point. Defensive components do take up progressively less space the more you research. Also utilizing starbases helps heaps too.
Rock on! Nice work guys!
Fighters or Carriers.. Well as they said no carriers. I name my Tiny ships fighter and smalls heavy fighter. Scaling on life support is very good, at most one can take 2-3 units. Being carried around isn't necessary.. Although I know it's a different thing entirely. However, what you CAN do is make a big ship say Large and fill the rest of a fleet with all tiny ships..
