Is espionage all about destroying improvements? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Not having played DA beta i would like to know whether espionage is all about destroying improvements.From feedbacks on the forums it seems that spies are always linked to destroying improvements, so are there other options for espionage which weren't included in GC2? For example can i make a terrorist act which kills 1 b population, or try to poison all scientists of a race which would slow their research, or also try to cause a war between races?

Reply to Espionage exploit? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

When a spy agent hit a farm, perhaps you could not lose all unsupported population in one turn.What i mean is that after a spy destroy a farm and you have 9 b people, while your planet can support 6 b people instead of losing 3 b people at once you lose 500 million people per turn.I think it would be more balanced and realistic.

Sorry if the question has already been asked.I wonder if in DA all races will get Unique Hulls or as in GC2 Humans will have the same hulls of Arceans, Korx of Altarians and so on.

1.4 Planetary Improvement portrait bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have installed 1.4 and noticed a great bug in planetary screen. After 1.4 portraits of planetary improvements are totally messed up it seems like there is an overlapping between terrain portrit and improvement portrait. I have no mod on gc2 i have just changed portrait of minor races so i don't think it is a reason of my messed up portraits of planetary improvemnts. These are my specs: AMD 3500+ X800XT 2 GB RAM 200 GB HD

While all people can enjoy 1.4 update it seems that my stardock central hasn't yet available 1.4 patch.I have tried to change US server as some people said me when i had some problems for previous patches; while in the past changing US server was useful to download the patch this time there is no way i have 1.4 available on SD central. There is another link where i can download patch or in any case how can i solve this problem?

how can i change portrait and logo of fanatics? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have already changed all the portraits and logo of minor races; but i didn't found a way to change portrait and logo of fanatics which appear as random event to attack all evil races.I don't like the logo they have and the portrait is the same of akilians so i would like to change it with another from library.How can i do it considering that in raceconfig.xml there is no race called fanatic?

Reply to The complexities of marketing, publishing, and distributing in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

One thing that i haven't understood (due to my not perfect english) is if the expansion pack will be published later will it be available at retail or will be available a version which include gc2 and dark avatar, so the expansion only version will be available only digitally. About the question aked by frogboy i must say that it would be surely better an enriched expansion with more feature relased later than an expansion with less features released earlier. I like this game but I'

Espionage missions in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

In Dark Avatar what kind of missions you can perform? Up to now we have confirmation about sabotage improvement,counterintelligence, and spy planet. sabotage production is likely to be implemented. I would know if there are other interesting missions like "terrorist" acts like you have planted atom bombs on this planet, population killed will be between 50%-80%, or use nerve gas, genetic attack with all their different percentages of population killed. Would be also interesting t

I don't know Stardock marketing policy but as far as I can tell i have other 3 friends which bought gc2 and would be willing to buy the expansion pack but can't because they don't have a credit card or would buy only a retail version. AFAIC i don't know if buying the expansion because i don't think it will add so much content, but i have credit card so i will wait for a review and the first feedbacks. I think that stardock should have done a retail version not only they will lose a lot o

Reply to there will be new portraits for minor races in DA? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

There are at least five unique portrates. Two of those portrates are simply vary in color scheme. The portraits are just 4 i haven't yet found any other race with different portrait. When in the portrait changes just the color it isn't a different portrait but just a small unsuccessful touch to make races different.

Reply to there will be new portraits for minor races in DA? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah the total is 4 portraits also Jessuins have their own portrait. What i want to emphasize is that so much effort is employed for ship part why not add some portrait to minor race which are just fixed images. This thing is really detracting it was better if they just added 4 minor races instead of having a galaxy with all same aliens.

Reply to there will be new portraits for minor races in DA? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

What do you mean? There's plenty of minor race portraits, and besides minor races don't really do anything. Also can't you just mod the minor races? As TOV said you have more than 20 minor races but the fact that there are just 3 portraits really detracts me from this game.Considering the effort done by stardock to improve the game wouldn't be a

Reply to How about unique ship designs for each race--would be awesome in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Considering that stardock has put so much effort adding new ship parts which personally can be interesting but wouldn't be a major feature, i don't understand their policy of not adding unique hulls for every race which can be considered a major feature and so would be a point in favour for people which are not yet decided to buy or not buy the expansion.
