Reply to Anyone saw pirates? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had a fleet of pirates sit on one of my trade routes last game and start offing freighters. Decent ships, too. I've run into them before, but not too often.

Reply to Strange Mouse issue in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Are you running in windowed mode? I had a problem in windowed mode with the apparent (displayed) mouse position being about an inch above where the program thought it should be. Running in full-screen mode took care of it, of course.

Yes indeed.

Metaverse Character Creation in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, Sorry to ask what may turn out to be a silly question. I've been happily playing around in the sandbox for a couple of weeks now, and this afternoon I finally decided that it was time to take a stab at the metaverse. I clicked on 'Metaverse' in the main menu of the game, and was told that I needed to create a character first. Fine, I thought, and headed over to the website. I entered the Metaverse sectio

I think it's just supposed to be glare off of the curved 'glass' surface that covers the minimap. That's how I've been interpreting it, anyway.

Reply to 4294967 Billion Population Bug in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

The population will generally return to normal fairly quickly, but I've heard of people winning instant influence victories, experiencing massive economic fluctuations, etc etc. I once had a rebellion take half of my empire the turn after this bug hit me. A bit startling.

I drop my taxes and get my approval 90% (for a turn) but I still don't win the vote. That's probably because you've lost control of the senate. You're going to have to get your approval back up (around 70% should do it) and then wait for an election. Once that's happened and your party is back in power you ought to be able to win any votes.

Reply to Ship Yard and ship design.... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

This may sound like a silly question, but you have gone into the ship design area and designed some of your own ships, right? The game comes loaded with a few standard ship designs, but if you want to have any sort of fleet, you've got to design your own ships, really. That's where you get to glue your mass drivers & armour onto the medium sized hulls. Of course if you've designed ships of your own and they aren't showin

Reply to Large planet = teh sux? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've actually noticed this too. I chalked it up to coincidence, but I remain somewhat dubious. Perhaps it's just due to heightened expectations. When you colonize a level 8 and get some nice bonuses it's a pleasant surprise. When you colonize a 24 and get no bonuses, there's a natural let-down once you realize that you haven't found the planet that's going to let you waltz through the game with a grin on your face.
