Reply to How are you supposed to form a alliance now? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

No, this is the fixing of a bug. You have to be close to form an alliance. This bugged to friendly. And now it's back, so it's actually DIFFICULT to win the game via alliance. Just smarm them, be their friend, stick up for them, and be able to kill them at any time.

Reply to Second Hand Registration in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Go back, and demand a brand new copy. Stardock will not change the system, as it would work if the stores didn't resell. However, you're within your rights to demand they give you a new version with serial number.

Reply to Collector's Edition Question in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

No, there was a problem with the CE being on the box INSTEAD of the real number. Nothing was ever wrong with the CE afaik. All collecters edition content is in the recent version of the game anyway. All it has is the desktop skin.

Reply to Bug with creating a new race in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Except, you know, the Drengins (+7), Altarians (+5), Arceans (+7), Yor (+8) and the Iconians (+7), who all don't get +6 logistics. Also, 1.3 fixed the minor bug where you only got 1 loyalty option (due to a typo in the abilitybonus.xml), and 20+ loyalty is now available. Like Kryo said, you can't add options, so if you get a good option to start, don't edit it. Pick one that's taking some points, or has none at all. Also, if you've downloaded to 1.3, there's a test mod

I was the guy (and part of the mod team) who took the time to fix Master of Orion 3 in alls its "horrible" glory. (its not that bad fully modded and ASM Coding repaired but still.) Happy now? Oh goody! We have an EXPERT! Go do it yourself then.

. Most of my friends would buy this one if it had good death-metal background music, but I don't think that would be such a great idea... Even if you ARE joking, that's entirely possible by editing the sound files <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" a

[Deleted, because my point suddenly became invalid while typing] As to the expansion: I'm looking forward to it. Although I'm not looking forward to more "d00d where's teh MP/??!?!?! omg lame" posts. I like the addition of the asteroid fields, and the epic generator will save me from actually having to write anything (not that I ever do, but that's sheer lazyness). The thing I'm most looking forward to is the Espionage, as I'm hoping that will help me play the subversive, behind-th

Reply to strange Opera/Galciv website bug in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

What do you mean? I use opera aswell, and can vote within the polls. Although I'm still not used to this new layout. When you say "not there", do you mean the poll isn't or the button?

Reply to CAN I PLAY MULTIPLAYER? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Heheehe, irony But no. No multiplayer. Not in the current expansion either. In fact, reviews sites often point out the lack of multiplayer. Seriously, are people going "ooh shiny" and buying it without even checking the box?

Reply to How do they do that? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

any chance you could tell us why the AI was able to build the ship that started this post? Nothing to do with the AI itself, they've just got about three times as much effect from miniturisation as you have at that level. So one shrinker and that ship isn't a problem for them at all.

Reply to Hotseat Multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

*sigh* I regret buying the game. I should have went for Civ IV. Why on earth do people keep thinking this game might/does have multiplayer? It doesn't say so anywhere, ever. If you're dissapointed, I suggest you learn to actually check what a game does, before buying it for the shiny shiny shiny box. Also, the AI of galciv2 > Civ4, so th

Reply to Help w/ Technological Capitals please!! in Research GalCiv2 Forums

No, that affects your sanity, and makes the aliens laugh at you Seriously, if I could mod in a way for the AI to evaluate your buildings and say "We're going to kill you, just so our building developers stop crying at the monstrosity of your homeworld" I would. Because being insulted by a computer is strangely amusing.

Reply to How do they do that? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Masochistic? Yeah, they're cheating. A LOT. They get rather large % numbers to every statistic, including miniturisation. That's the only way it can cheat though. Only at tough will you find a fair game, although Genius has small enough bonuses to be "fair" while making up for the lack of creative thinking.

Reply to Help in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Firstly: This is the "official" forum for the game, and the first place you should really go. Secondly: irc.stardock.com is the BEST place to go, since that's the IRC. Join channel #galciv and poke a developer to help you. Like moosetek said, a reboot is a hardware problem, when GC2 does crash it's normally a CTD. Make sure nothing is overheating, and use smartexception to see if there is a code issue.
