Imperium Romanum in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I was browsing Impulse and came accross Imperium Romanium. It looked interesting so I pulled up reviews from various sites. The problem is that the reviews were mixed, ranging from 3.5 to 8. That's a pretty wide range.... So, I was wondering if anyone has played it, and what they think? Thanks! B.

Reply to TA 1.96 Bug. Thalians are my allies but they attacked me in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

No. I had some ships sittig near their border and they attacked my ships out of the blue. The other civ I attacked was far away from any Thalian ships/territory. I didn't capture the planet I attacked, so I don't think it's the transport issue.

TA 1.96 Bug. Thalians are my allies but they attacked me in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

The title says it all. I'm playing the humans on normal difficulty. I made an alliance with the Thalians and then a few turns later I proceeded to attack another civ. After the Thalian attack, I check the diplo screen. They are still listed as allies. Is this a known issue?

The one bad thing about digital distribution. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I did some digging, and found an "old" game (in a box) for $10. It used to retail for $40 With digital distribution, there is no incentive for the seller to cut prices to clear slow moving inventory. ...because his inventory cost are essentially zero. (save for maintaining the server). Just a random thought.....

Thanks Guys, elias001: I've always wanted to play Dungeon keeper. I think I'll give that a try. SanChonino: I know econ games are a tiny niche market. ...kind of like political sims. Now if i could just program my own...

Your favorite economic/tycoon games in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

What's your favorite economic/tycoon game. Capitalism 2 would have been a great game if it hadn't been so buggy. How about The Corporate machine? Are roller coaster tycoon/zoo tycoon/railroad tycoon any good? That is, do the have a deep well thought out economic system? Any other economic games you'd recommend? Thanks, B.

Reply to Show off your impulse games list. in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I think the Corporate machine sounds like a great game (although very old...2001 I believe) How do you like the game? Is it similar to capitalism 2, or does it have a completely different approach?

OK. I went back to Impulse and registered TA (even though I already registered TA via SDC) Now TA is showing up in "my games" Thank for your help everyone. B.

[quote]Does it show on the registrations page in Impulse (the little window icon in the top right)?[/quote] I looked. It's not there. The only ones listed are Altarian Prohecy, GalCiv, and galciv2. (There is no seperate listing for DA, TA, etc) AP has "none" under the expiration date. GC and GC2 have "invalid" listed under the expiration date. AP has my email listed, GC and GC2 do not.

[quote]Please put 1.95 on SDC.1.95 isn't out yet at all.[/quote] Ok, I thought I saw that it was. Thanks. The bigger question is: I purchased TA. Why isn't it listed in "my games' in Impulse? (It is listed as a purchased game on SDC)

IMPULSE problem in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I installed Impulse and was looking to download TA 1.95.... However, TA isn't listed in "My games". I purchased TA. Go ahead, check. Why isn't it there? I had a number of issues with SDC for years. Just about a month ago the issues were resolved. Now it looks like I'm going to have to deal with Impulse issues... Please put 1.95 on SDC. B.

Reply to Twilight--No Box--False Advertising in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm not going to get bent out of shape over $5 or so, nor do I care that much about a box, but I paid through Paypal, and I could have sworn that $10 was automatically added to my order for shipping... (I was not given a choice between box for $10 or a CD for $5-$7)(I live in the USA)

Reply to how can you defeat the peacekeepers? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

There's not much that can be done until you can research the techs needed to build ships that are strong enough to defeat them. Alternatively, if you have a saved game prior to their arrival, you can start over again.

The last one has been up for a while... I think we know that humans are favored. I can't imagine why... :) So what do you say SD?

Reply to Peacekeeper mega event is not working properly!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well I got rid of the PK's. I traded lots of techs, BC, and my right arm :), for the large hull tech. I then reseached far down the missle defense tech tree. I got another random event that changed a bunch of zero class planets into class 6 planets. Luckily lots of them were near me. I colonized them and put one Yor research facility on each. Once I was far enough down the defense tree. I loaded up a large hull and went after them. I lost a bunch of ships in t

Reply to Latest Update WTF in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In the OP's defense... He is correct on one point. Yes, there is a significant research slowdown in TA that has nothing to do with your research rate or the game settings. It's bug that several other players have experienced, and the issue has been discussed in another current thread.

Reply to Peacekeeper mega event is not working properly!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks Pndrev! I've being playing all versions for quite a while, and this is the first I ever seen of the PK's. The AI usually throws the plague and Jagged knife events at me.

Peacekeeper mega event is not working properly!! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I made a similar post a few days ago, but know I'm pretty sure there's a bug. I got the PK mega event and they destroyed all of my ships. OK fine, I understand. But they also detroyed all of my freighters and trade routes (what is agressive/militaristic about freighters???) They destoyed my research resource starbase, but not my military resource or economic bases. If they are designed to halt agression, shouldn't they have gone after the mi

Peacekeeper mega event question - TA - in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well, I'm the strongest civ in my current game, so the computer tossed the peacekeepers at me. They destroyed all of my ships that were not sitting in a spaceport, all of my freighters, and my research resource starbase. Now 3 PK fleets are parked outside my homeworld. I already sent about 4 fleets after them. But of course they're too powerfull and I can't even dent them. So now what? Will they ever go away, or is the effectively game over? (I can't conduct war with them hang

Reply to steep increase in the cost of technologies in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I guess this is a "me too" post, but I've noticed this tech cost inflation as well. Techs that usually take me 8-10 turns are now taking twice as long,if not longer. I usually play the same way with the same civ each time, so a "change in playing styles" is not the issue. It's very fustrating, and reduces the enjoyment of the game. I I hope this isn't the "curse of 3" (e.g. civ 3, MOO3, etc.) I realize that SD wants to move onto "bigger and better" things, but I really hope they fix th
