Reply to What good exactly is the "Creative" racial option? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The Devs haven't (Unless I've missed it) defined the actual bonuses afforded by creativity and the additional bonus described for creativity that "Is respected by other races" Creativity is (I think) what twelvefield said, but what of courage? And wouldn't creative be better suited to discoveries in the style of precursor ship discoveries?

Reply to GNN & Situational Awareness in Ideas GalCiv2 Forums

That, sounds like a kick ass idea. BUT WAIT: After Action Report news. So those people who want more interactivity between players are satisfied a bit. Kind of like football results So you could see news of the latest journal entries, newsflashes, and reports of empire score lists on the metaverse, and some game highlights. "And In other news, the Federation of Hitchhikers, under the leader of the benevolent Ford Prefe

Reply to AI does cheat on tough difficulty in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

You're completely and utterly wrong. You get many more bonuses that what it seems through tiles, inbuilt bonuses that can't be picked/unpicked (like Yor negative diplomacy) some techs give an empire wide morale bonus, and of course a single morale starbase could do that with ease. The Ai on tough DOES NOT CHEAT! sheesh.

Reply to How do I increase my military rating? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

That would be Quintuples, with your example (50 = 5 *10). If it is Quadruple, it would make them look 4 times as good Yes I realised that, but the forums are being annoying, and won't let me edit

Reply to How do I increase my military rating? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Spin control center. Quadruples the military rating of a given ship in orbit (If you have a ship rated at 10, it'll be rated 50) Only way to up it is big ships.

Reply to My apologies in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Same here, although I was dragged along into the wonderful world of stardock before the whole starforce fiasco. I honestly think they had a right to sue, but if they didn't want to, I have no problem with that. God we all hate starforce here, damn malware. *These are the views of general individuals and not the forum as a whole or the stardock team, even if the forum as a whole does happen to agree* ... Podcast joke. ANyway, yes, this game w

Keep your survey ship, you need those anomalies. They're valuable, only upgrade it when you have run out of anomalies over the entire map. As stated above, it's medium.

Reply to Demo Crash in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Video drivers over two years old are definately old, end of. Which means that if the demo won't run, don't bother getting the game until you have a new video card/ drivers.

Ally! They can be quite useful as puppet nations. Give them some of my nice, powerful ships, and say "I really don't want the Drengin there, move them please" Nothing more pleasing than going to Lord Kona with a view to ending the hostilities with my good squirrel friends, and him saying "It's not me causing the violence, oh great Ford Prefect, if you want peace go talk to snarky" He just got owned <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=0

(like miniaturization) Right, here's to settle the Yor issue. THEY ARE NOT OVERPOWERED. They have (written into the AI) A negative factor in every relationship (isn't shown up, but you can quite easily notice it if you're looking for it) and that means that they tend to die. A lot.

Reply to Galaxy Creation bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Intentional. There is a formula somewhere that varies occasionally as to terraforming, to make the game more randomised. And "planets" means unhabitable ones. If I have both to habitable, I'm averaging 3 usable per star system, and about 8 of these are better than 18. One lovely 27 that's now 34 (Still no Terraforming though)

Reply to 1.1 Beta 2 Bug Report in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The model does align straight down with a higher increment, so this is probably just something to do with the maths involved that needs fixing. The Terran hulls have been slightly misaligned for quite a while, there is a mod for this in the library. The fact you kept creating new maps so quickly probably caused a strain on your system, check to see if there is a memory leak. As for the save/load issue, I've had that. Just look over all your planets and

Reply to Time stands still after loading a savegame in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You say this is the beta? well, they're buggy, but not this buggy. Those links you provided are different issue, AFAIK everyone has a one turn time freeze when save/reload to try and stop people just saving/reloading constantly, but for you it seems to have just killed time. You'll need to post a debug.err or email stardock with the save game, because I don't think this has been seen before.
