Reply to UGO preview in GalCiv II News Stardock Forums

Well it looks more like he played a single game. Which is what usually gets done for previews if I remember correctly. I too am worried if there is no tutorial. Since no good TBS has come out to attract the masses in years, many of them won't know how to play or what to do. Without something to hold their hands for a bit, there is a big barrier to entry into GalCiv2 and the genre. At the very least, whatever demo is created should have a robust tu

Reply to Will all of us that Pre-ordered the CD version from StarDock, get it on or around thr 21st???? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Well I am in the US but I still have a funny feeling I wont get by the 21st.... Sounds like the stores will get it over people that preordered form here... ACtually if you preordered it from stardocks site, you'll get most of it earlier then the stores and on the 21st you'll be able to play. You mig

email [email protected]. When asked they said they can't do it, but that she could cancel my order and I could then change my preorder to CD + DL and not just the DL.

Reply to How long have you been playing the Galactic Civilizations series? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

GC1 was a great game but did not surpass SMAC. I think GC2 will do the trick. Everytime I see someone posting about how addicted they are to SMAC, I wonder if Sid made that acronym on purpose or not..

Reply to "The Spiritual Heir to Master of Orion II?" in GalCiv II News Stardock Forums

"spirtiual heir to Moo2"? That's overreaching. GC 2 is a good game - but the Moo series 1,2,3 is all about tactical combat which this game isn't. Try space empires V. MOO1's idea of tactical combat was a chessboard. Where generally there was a miniscule amount of room to maneuver. The best you

It's been stated a few times already actually.. We'll (I did it too) get a temporary key, so we can download and get updates. When the box arrives you use your new permanent key.

2) If Option #1 isn't available, make sure you have the latest video card. We're serious about this. The game uses some fairly new graphic features that only recently are well supported by video drivers. Did you mean have the latest video card drivers? Also, how does this game handle on l

Reply to Some graphics looks bad on high res in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Well, we could add in code so that if it goes beyond a certain ratio it doesn't stretch them, but centers them in a black box. Would it be possible to give the user the option on how they want to view it? Much like most players in 1x (black box) 2x (streatched black box) and Full Screen?

Reply to GalCiv II: User Manual Draft 3 in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

At the end of the manual a link is added to access an online tutorial. There are two things that would make it more useful: 1) Move the tutorial from online to into the manual. Perhaps with a link for updates. 2) At the least, move the link to the tutorial to the front of the manual. At the back it's buried, but at the front is where people first turn when they don't know what everything means.
