Reply to Ps3 in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Problem is, MS and Sony are pushing publishers to only produce games on their console (and not release on the PC). For example, Mass Effect will only be on the XBox 360, and not on the PC. I too agree with Lord Nova and would rather just upgrade my PC as they will soon - if not already - be better than the consoles. But if publishers keep making arrangements like these for what turn out to be popular titles, I'm going to be very sore about it.

I use the omega drivers and they are a godsend for my older ATI laptop vid card. Give it a shot.

Congrats, brad. Hope the labor goes well and all is right.

I guess I have to see what all the fuss is about. I obviously never played the first. Is it an RTS? Never really got into the genre.

I'd say congratulations, but I wouldn't want to jinx anything.

I'm also having memory problems now with the 1.3 beta. I've sent in the quick save and debug error. Not only that, but saved games are now taking 10 minutes to load, and subsequently CTD.

I think you misunderstood, Brad. I was actually complimenting the AI for building a trade center on the influence tile. The reason why is, as the building upgrades to a stock market later in the future, there's a 15% influence bonus from the stock market. And I think a stock market is more useful than an embassy for survival of a species.

What's that? What's that? Do I spy an economic building on an influence bonus tile? Now that's the AI using its noodle! Now if only we can see some farms... PS Love the little diddy from the drengin

Reply to Neutral Zone in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

I hope you guys are not talking about a single influence or economy star base. Usually, the AI will build a single one without upgrades in your sphere of influence to extend the range of their ships (like when they need to reach an enemy that's on the opposite side of you, for example). I don't worry about influence star bases unless they begin adding more modules.

My mistake. Apparently I didn't read clearly...the invasion happened a long while ago. Sorry for the double post, the site wouldn't let me edit my previous post.

Just one stupid question...who would be going to school when there's global genocide? I'd be running for the hills or hiding in basements a la War of the Worlds.

Probably, yes.

Reply to Has anyone ever won a game on suicidal in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Most of my games are suicidal. Not all that difficult, even without exploits. Focus on building a strong infrastructure/economy. Don't start your military buildup until an AI shows a Wary or Hostile disposition to you.

One simple trick for listening to your own MP3s is to replace the files with your own, making sure they have the same exact names. Should work, I believe.

Battlestar Galactica. Usually in reference to the newer reenvisioning of the classic late 70s series.

Brad, what kind of changes/improvements to the AI are you making in 1.3 other the mentioned bug fixes? I don't recall if you specified other than "better algorithms" in the journal. I'm curious what we can expect more of. Thanks.

Reply to So I just watched Stargate.... in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not sure I'm liking this whole King Arthur and Merlin spin lately. Seems very hokey. And what's with the kid? Didn't they learn from George Lucas to stop using them???

Reply to Don't expect the AI to get any better. in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

My apologies, Brad, but I too will come reluctantly in the defense of Rendorax. I love this game, spend a lot of my free time with it outside of wife and life. While I don't agree with his approach, he does bring up the valid point that the AI can be improved. I play suicidal, recently playing Huge (large in the past), and after rough beginnings stabilizing my economy, I come to dominate the AI. But has I mentioned in another post somewhere, that can be easily changed by some tweaks to the A
