Reply to What in the world is the "-militaristic" predicate? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It's a randomly selected stat for another civ. Notice it appears for some civ's and not others. Plus, in the diplomacy screen, if you look through the windows you will see either "They are not very militaristic" or "They are very militaristic" It's randomly applied at the beginning of the game to races who will probably go for Conquest (maybe occasionally cultural) victory.

Only a bump makes it show up. I thought the autosave CTD was only a beta issue, but you crashed on it? Try updating to beta 4, it's extremely stable. If you archive first you can revert if you don't like it, but this just got fixed.

You play the English version? That's worse. You MUST either change settings to US english or change your notation, or the game simply will not work. This is your computer unable to run the game due to notation, change it and it'll be fixed.

I don't think so. If it stops you taking planets, it works.

Reply to Does anyone want better AI in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

This AI is the best out there, end of. It doesn't cheat pre-tough. It goes after what is needed, and weaponless fighters are by design, they're to slow you up while the real force arrives. If they can't see any ships in their way, they will send an unescorted fighter as a human would. What difficulty are you playing at?

Reply to How do you get planets to flip to you? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Click on the planet, it says how much influence the planet is producing, and the number in parenthis is how much influence you have in that area in comparison (ie 4 means 4 times as much) But you need espionage for that, just look for the red skull

Reply to Beta3A - Loading Custom Race in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, loads abilities on top of what you have. Metaverse has to be the first thing you do I think, but the way to deal with it is to go into metaverse, load race, back out, select race again, and their abilities should fix. This may have been fixed in the beta 4 that just came out

It doesn't need to be regional english, he is able to keep it in german. To quote wareagle from that threadL Ok, I've already dropped Brad an email about this. The problem itself seems to be not the language-selection, but the numeric format. English notation is: 1,000.00 German notation is: 1.000,00<br

Reply to automatic crash reporter? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, but what does this have to do with an automated crash report on user demand? - Right, nothing. If you have an virus additonal to Galciv2 on your harddisk you loose, all personal firewalls go off. A hell of a lot. StarForce can grant admin access to any program for example. Say something like

Reply to Difference in GalCiv 2 normal, Collector's edition and limited edition? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

None really. Collectors is special, and they have a different metallic box and a tech tree. All the game component extras were released free I think. Makes no difference at all, most places only have collectors.

Reply to Why Paradox lists GalCiv II as their own game in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Just europe, and no. Stardock publish it worldwide. They just get it in stores, and list it under their name in order for it to get in stores (in Europe)

Reply to Use starbase as a ship? Tech: Starbase conquest strategy in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You don't. By "Flagship" It means most powerful ship. A fully souped up starbase makes everything around it damn near unkillable.

Not a chance, need the game acutally installed, a patch is something to fix a problem with the gameplay. We'll need some system specs, what he did, etc.

Reply to Where Is The 1.1 Patch??? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I need a new system and have been looking around, but a good gaming computer is going to cost (for what I want) a min of $1800, up to $4300 for an Alienware rig. I really am sick and tired of running in to requirement problems, so what I want to get is not likely to be compromised. This is going to e

What do u don't understand at "disabled by default". It should be an option. Do you not understand how viruses work?

Good luck and patience. Once you have 4 times the native influence, a skull and crossbones appear. If their happiness is below 70, then it's merely a matter of time before it flips.
